Get Me Married

Chapter 7: wife to be

coming towards us like he had a message for her. I turned away when the guard came close and focused on the next nagging thought in my heart. Jordan Chase. I didn’t even know the guy, yes I had seen pictures that proved he was extremely cute and handsome, more than Nate himself but he looked cold and dangerous. We knew nothing about each other, how could we get married without even talking once? Every thing in my system warned against doing such a thing and I had to act fast. I turned back to mom Leona who just finished with the guard, she turned to me and gave me that heart warming smile she always gave. “Can I speak with Jordan?” I blurted out unwavering and the smile on her face turned to a frown. “Is something wrong?”she asked. “No, no, no….I just…I wouldn’t mind knowing what he sounds like. I am Really worried about not knowing who I am getting married to” I confessed and she sighed “We don’t have to talk for long. I just….” “It’s fine…let me call him” she said and got up, she moved a little bit further away from me and dialled a number. She talked for a while with the person before she walked towards me. “Here…talk to him” she gave me her phone and the blood in my veins dried up. “Wait…i… maybe not now” my palms started sweating and nervousness crept in. I didn’t even think I could be so nervous, yes I was always tensed under pressure but what I felt was so uncalled for. It was just a call between I and my husband to be and yet it felt worse than writing tests you never prepared for back in school. “Come on hun…don’t be nervous” she urged and I slowly took the phone from her with shaky hands. I gently placed it on my ears like I had never handled a phone in my life. I took a deep breath and then exhaled. “You don’t have to be so nervous, it’s just me” his voice sent butterflies to my stomach and I found myself feeling all whoosh and dizzy from the effect. He had a deeper voice than Nate, but damn it did magic. Mom Leona didn’t stop staring at me nervously, she took her seat next to me and was as nervous as I was “I… sorry..it’s….” I stuttered and I heard him chuckle. The sound was like music to the ears as I felt my muscles relaxing beneath my flesh at the sound. “Can’t believe you are laughing at your wife to be” I teased and he chuckled again. Weirdly I was fully relaxed. “I am as nervous as hell…can’t believe mom pushed me into this” he said and his voice were like melodies to my ears. “Well, she never gives up” I said and stole a glance at her, while she stared at me confused. “She doesn’t…I bet you, you are going to have a handful” he said and I chuckled. “Me…what about you?” I asked and relaxed on the chair. “Well…I have handled her since I was a kid, you are the newbie in the family. You have to have your share of her completeness” he said and I chuckled again. “I can always run away..” I teased and the line suddenly went mute. He didn’t give me a reply and I became tensed. “Hello” I called to the other line wishing in my heart of hearts that I had not said something wrong to upset him.. “Did I say something wrong” I asked and again there was no reply. Mom Leona tapped my legs and opened her hands in a way of asking me what was wrong. But I ignored her, it was weird how I suddenly cared about what I said and how it affected him, a stranger I was supposed to get married to. “Look..I am sorry, I didn’t mean to say anything wrong” I said and waited, I prayed for a reply, I liked the sound of his voice. “I like the sound of your voice” his deep voice came from the other line. My cheeks heated up fully, turning a dark pink. “You sound different and I kinda like it a lot” he said and I arched my brows, wondering what he was talking about. “You haven’t not heard from me before now…it’s weird you…” “That’s must be the reason. I thought talking to you would be hard, I have wanted to call you four days ago” he said and my cheeks heated up again. I mean my husband to be sounded so dreamy, I wasn’t regretting my decision at that point. “You have my number?” I asked. “Yes ..” he answered and my cheeks didn’t stop heating up. “It’s just three days away. Are you sure you are ready for this?” I asked instead and again silence took over. I was beginning to wonder if he was always like that, always going quiet when he had such lovely voice. “I know and I am as ready as I will ever be” he replied and my heart fluttered at the way he said it. The idea of having a rich husband didn’t feel so bad after all. “What about you, are you ready?” he asked me. “No….” I replied “Mom Leona has been taking me from place to place and I am so exhausted, I haven’t even picked a gown yet, she wants a perfect gown and it would arrive tomorrow. Not to add the fact that I am so nervous, I am so not ready, I fear I will collapse with exhaustion and panic on that day” I confessed. A loud hearty laugh erupted from the other end of the line and my hands voluntarily held my chest at the sound. If I thought his voice and chuckle were amazing and heart warming then I was lying. His laughter was exquisite and overwhelming, my heart skipped at the sound of it, making me wonder what it would be like seeing him one on one. It took a while but he stopped laughing and I pouted. “Can’t believe you are laughing at my dilemma” I added. “Ohhh my bad…I am so sorry but collapsing on our wedding day would be simply amazing” he said and laughed again.
