Chapter 14
Marti woke with a throbbing headache, a sore body and her mouth felt like the desert. She rubbed her head. “Owww.” Turning over to Nick, the scratches and dried blood on his shoulders were a testament to the wild limo sex. Must have been a wild night., she touched her bruised lip. Her pussy hurt. Her lip hurt. Her whole body hurt. God, he’s amazing and so freakin’ sexy!
She loved the way he called her Princesa and Peach. The way he said Peach with his Spanish accent sounded like Beetch, she thought he said bitch a few times, but he quickly corrected her. And the way he looked at her when he was on top of her, his dark eyes staring at her, right down to her soul. His lean hips, rocking into hers... the way his dick slid inside her, inch by inch, pulling her lips taut and rubbing her clit in such a way, she couldn’t hold back. She sighed. He was incredible.
Very quietly she slid out of the bed and tiptoed over to the bathroom. The penthouse was huge and her legs shook as she padded across the floor. She closed the door gently; she didn’t want to wake him. As she turned on the water, she thought about last night. She couldn’t remember half of it, the champagne was flowing freely and she wasn’t about to give up a glass of good champagne. Her mama didn’t raise no dummy. On second thought, a hot bath sounds better.
She turned on the Jacuzzi jets and the water began bubbling and churning. She squeezed some drops of lavender oil into the tub, filling the whole room with the relaxing scent.
Stepping into the hot water, her body thanked her. Last night, or what she could remember about last night, was fabulous. The food, the drink, the company. Even Jesse the driver was a great guy. Smiling, she slid down into the water to her neck, the water pressure massaging her tender body. She reached her hand to play with the pulsating jet, feeling the stream between her fingers. Giggling to herself. This might be better than the shower head!
She relaxed, washing all the night away, her headache started to subside as the hot water massaged her body. She hoped she didn’t wake Nick. She knew he had been driving and partying for way too long. He needed some rest.
Reaching up to grab the pouf, she saw a flash of light out of the corner of her eye. She brought her hand up out of the water and on her finger sat the biggest diamond she had ever seen. Shit! What’s this? Oh my God! Where did this come from? What happened last night? Oh my God!
“NICK!!!! NICK! Wake up! Come here, quick!” She hollered from the tub. “NNNIIIIICCCCKKKK!!!”
He jumped up and ran to the bathroom, scared of what had happened to make her scream like that. “What? What’s going on?” She raised her hand to show him the ring. “That’s it? That’s what had you screaming for me from the tub? Hijo de la ching - I thought something happened.”
“Look!” she yelled. “Something has happened!”
“I’m looking, it’s very nice. Where’d you get it?”
She snapped at him, shaking her head. “Nick, it’s a wedding ring. I don’t know where I got it.”
Looking down at his left hand, he had one too. Only this one wasn’t a 2 carat diamond. It was a gold man’s wedding band right there on his left hand. A wedding band he had never seen before. His heart sank. Dios Mio, que paso anoche? What happened? “Dios! Marti, what happened last night?”
“You don’t know? Please tell me you know what we did last night.” Staring at the wedding band on her finger, she grabbed a towel and stepped out of the tub. “Nick, you’re incredible, but is this shit for real?”
“Marti, I don’t know, I mean we had dinner, drank some champagne and we were in the limo–“
He paced the floor, running his fingers through his hair in desperation. “Shit! Did we go to a chapel? Marti, I don’t know.” He paced back and forth, his breath coming in spurts. “You know what? I’ll get Jesse up here, he was there, he’ll know”.
He grabbed his phone and punched Jesse’s speed dial. “Jesse, I need to see you now. In the penthouse.” Pause. “Yes, Jesse, NOW.”
He turned to Marti, “He’ll be here a few minutes, we’ll find out what the hell is going on.” Rummaging through the receipts and souvenirs of the night before, he found a marriage license and his mouth dropped, with an agonizing sigh, he fell into the chair looking at the documents.
His name was there. Marti’s name was there. Legal looking signatures from the courthouse and tucked nicely behind it was a certificate that said they were married. God, was I that drunk?
There was a slight knock at the door; he rushed over to open it “Jesse, what the hell happened last night?”
Jesse looked down, “What do you mean, sir?”
“Last night, what happened after you picked us up?”
“We drove around, sir, and you and the missus were having fun in the back of the limo.”
“What kind of fun, Jesse?” he spoke more sternly. “Talk to me.”
“Sir, you and the lady were drinking champagne, singing to the radio and having a good time and next thing I knew, the kind lady told me to pull over. I didn’t want to sir, but I saw that she was hanging out the sunroof, half naked with her dress flying, so I pulled over immediately.
“Where was I?”
“You were with her, sir”
Shocked, he sighed, “I was hanging out the sunroof?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Carajo! Then what?”
“I pulled over to help you get back into the car and the missus jumped out and ran into the wedding chapel.”
“Naked?”
“No, sir, she had her dress on, it was a bit disheveled, but she was covered.”
“Did you try to stop her?”
“No sir, you did. Next thing I knew, we were driving to the courthouse for a marriage license and then back to the wedding chapel. You wouldn’t let me stop you, sir. You told me you were in love with her and to shut the fuck up, sir.”
“Jesse, I am so sorry. I apologize; I must have been a mess. So, Marti and I are legally married now?”
“Yes sir, Elvis and Dolly were your witnesses, I was the flower gir- er, I mean ring bearer. Congratulations, Sir. I hope you have a wonderful marriage and many blessing to you and your new wife.”
“Thank you, Jesse, and thank you for taking care of us in our drunken stupidity. I’ll call you this afternoon, until then, you may go. Go and enjoy your weekend. And once again, I apologize.” He nodded as Jesse walked out the door.
“Uh, Nick?” Her voice quivered. “We can get this annulled, can’t we?”
“Oh, Peach, we have only been married a few hours and you are ready to divorce me?” he laughed. Only this time his laugh wasn’t so funny.
She shivered. This was one big hot freakin’ mess. She stood up and got in his face, arms flailing. “So what the fuck are we gonna do? I barely know you, I thought you were taking me to L.A. and now we are married, I say let’s get it over with and get this stupid ass marriage annulled!” She crossed her arms and turned away from him, glancing down at this huge diamond ring.
“Excuse me? You apparently were the one who wanted it! See? This is why I am single, or used to be. Women are too fucking crazy; they do stupid shit, and get me into big fucking cochinadas like this!”
She swung around and looked at him straight in his eyes. “Nick, you don’t expect me to take the blame for this! You were there, too! I can’t fuckin believe this! I can’t believe I am married to someone I just met! What are you going to do? You need to fix this!” She sat on the big sofa and dropped her head into her hands, sobbing uncontrollably.
He exhaled, running his hands through his hair. “Let me call my lawyer and see what he can do.” He stormed off into the bedroom and plopped down on the bed, punching the numbers into his phone. Dammit, how could we fuck this up? Hijo de la chingada! Why am I so stupid? Why did I let the champagne and my dick think for me?
No answer. ”Shit!” he called again, no answer. “Fuck!” he hurled the phone against the wall, shattering it and fell back on the bed. FUCK!!
After a few minutes, he picked up the hotel phone and dialed. “Jesse, I need a phone, same number, use the card and bring it to me.”
Pause.
“Yes, please, I’ll be here. Uh....on second thoughts…bring the car around. I have somewhere I need to go. I’ll be downstairs in fifteen minutes.” He walked into the closet, put on his jeans and t-shirt, slipped on his shoes and walked over to Marti sitting on the couch. The tears had stopped and she was sitting there, looking at the ring on her finger.
He knelt down beside her, sliding his hand behind her head. “Peach, I am going to run out for a little while. Let me see what I can do to fix this. If you get hungry, call room service. Here is some money if you want to go shopping or something. I don’t know how long this will take. Give it a couple hours if you need to call me. I stupidly trashed my phone. I’m going to get a new one, same number. Okay?”
She sniffled and smiled at him, nodding her head. Her hand reached out to caress his cheek. “Okay, Nick, I’ll be here. Sorry, I yelled at you, this is all moving so fast. Yesterday, I was just a regular ole country girl and today I’m married. Way too fast. Next thing you know I’ll be pregnant”
“Wha – You’re not pregnant are you?”
“No, how am I supposed to get pregnant with all those dick rubbers flying around? I’m on the pill too, so don’t worry, Mr. Vargas. No babies here.” She let out a sigh of relief. One thing about Nick, he was very adamant about protection.
“Jesse is waiting for me. Let me go get this handled and I’ll be back as soon as possible.” He kissed her forehead and walked out the door. Marti was happy for some alone time. She picked up her iPhone and texted Annie.
‘R u there?’
Nothing. She waited a few minutes, staring at her phone, waiting for a response. Nothing.
Looking back at her brand new wedding ring, she sighed and got up and walked over to the tub, filling it again with hot water and lavender oil. Exhaustion set in from last night’s champagne and today’s tears, but she finally had a minute alone. Time to relax and gather her thoughts. They would get this all figured out.
The aroma of lavender fields filled her nostrils. She slid into the water, turning on the jets and felt the warm water massaging her whole body. “Mmmm…” she sighed.
Relaxing in the warmth of the water, she slid her butt over and felt a water jet gently pulsating on her clit. “Ahhh…aahh” she breathed as the moving water gently brought her to climax…she rocked her hips and moaned quietly, washing away all the chaos of the morning, and for the moment, forgetting that she was now a married woman.
