(At Jason's home)
Jason lives in one of the most expensive apartments in the City. The view in this pent house is amazing.
I decided to make Lasagna while waiting for him since I arrived early. I've learned how to cook back when I was working for a restaurant to pay for my college tuition fee and I'm cooking to release stress ever since.
Around 8pm, Jason arrived.
'Kree,are you here?'
I can hear his footsteps approaching the kitchen.
'Yeah, I'm here! Are you hungry? I'm waiting for the Lasagna to be cooked. Change your clothes first. I'll set up the table.'
I was busy looking at the lasagna and I didn't notice that he didn't leave.
When I looked behind me , I saw him staring at me. We stared at each other for a few seconds.
...
...
'Uhm, yeah. I'll just take a quick shower. Don't eat without me, okay?'
'Depends on how long you'll take. I'm hungry.'
'It'll just be quick' Jason ran to his room.
So this is how it feels, huh.
It kinda feels nice, though.
Finally, after living alone for a few years, when I go home, I won't be alone anymore.
This is bad. What if I get used to this?

After dinner, we washed the dishes and sat at the living room.
'About the contract—' Jason started.
'Yes. We should make the contract today. My 1st condition still stands. We can't date anybody else while we are married to each other. We have a reputation to protect and being caught on a date with somebody else other than each other will not only bring harm to us but to our families as well.' I explained.
'I know, I know. Claui broke up with me through text last night anyway. She can't stand knowing that she wasn't my priority.'
'Well then, that's good.'
'What..'
'Yes, what's the problem?' I raised one of my eyebrows while I look at him with a smile.
'Nothing. Anyways, I want to suggest that the both of us should always go home everyday. Regardless if you need to do over time, we should be home before 8pm.' Jason stated.
'But JayJay, we don't notice the time when we make music.' I whined.
'If the person is late, even for a minute, he/she will make breakfast.'
'Fine, whatever. Anyways, where will we live?'
'Anywhere's fine with me. This is closer to XYZ. It'll be convenient for you to move here instead.'
'Okay, for how long will we stay married?'
'Until I am successful in expanding the business to US.'
[looking at the status of their business right now, we might celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Jason is capable,but the people around him are basically useless.]
'We might end up growing old together though.' I said with a smirk.
'Wha- Hey! I have my ways, you know. In 2 years time, I'll be able to take Crea-Ad to US. You have my word.'
'What ever floats your boat, jayjay.'
-
We went through a lot of conditions like sleeping in separate bedrooms (Sad, I know), turning one of the rooms into a music studio, and other things that we'll make living together comfortable.
At the end of our discussion, we signed the contract and went to the balcony with a bottle of beer in each other's hands.
'Who would've thought that we'll get married after being friends for over 15 years?' Jason sighed.
'I know, right? This is a shock for me too, you know.'
'Thank you for helping me, Kree. You are always there when I need you. I'm grateful. Thank you for everything.'
'Put that on your wedding vow. Okay?'
'Oh, we'll personalise our Vows?' Jason asked.
'Yup. I'm not gonna shut up after saying till death do us part, Jayjay. This might be fake, but we'll do this fake wedding in style.' I raised my beer, suggesting a toast.
'Okay, let's shock everyone then. How about- How about you wear the suit and I'll wear the wedding gown? that's unique!' Jason said with excitement in his voice.
'I can't believe your IQ is 152. Are you dumb? I'm not gonna wear a suit and tie on my wedding Jason, that's stupid.'
'Oh yeah. Right. Sorry. How about we wear hi-top sneakers instead of formal dress shoes and heels?'
'Deal. Cheers!' Another clink.
'Give me updates about the wedding preparation, okay? I might be busy but I want to help. Your taste in design is awful'
'Whatever. You wear track suits like I do on your rest days too, you know.'
'Well, you're right.'
...
...
...
'Oh and Jayjay..'
'Yeah?'
'Put in your vow that I'm the prettiest and kindest girl you've ever met. Okay?'
'WHAT?'
