Amelia smiled at the wine glass in her hand, she just attended her ex's engagement with her goody two shoes cousin and they expected her to congratulate those cheaters. The joke's on them for thinking of her as a weakling, ah , she is Amelia the only one that was brave enough to go against family rules and ethics, following her dream of becoming a designer.
A frown adorned her beautiful face when someone took the wine from her.
"Hey, I am not done with that yet.'' she slurred.
"Get a hold of yourself will you, I thought you were over him, he cheated for God's sake.'' the person scolded.
"I am so over him, Cora , I just want to get wasted tonight " Amelia replied.
"Over him my ass" Cora spat
"I am seriously over him,what do I need to do to prove it to you " Amelia slurred trying to reach for the wine glass but Cora took it further away from her.
"Date someone for reals, not this -' I need to get him out of my system ' dating that you are doing." Cora said. She has been friends with Amelia since high school, so she could read her like an open book.
"I will not just date anyone but I will be getting married tonight",she announced suddenly with so much determination.
"What, Amelia, you had too much to drink, let's get you home."Cora urgued but Amelia kept on hold onto the table.
On the other end of the bar in a VIP booth, a young man giving off a cold aura sat imposingly on the couch. He scanned the area like he wanted to imprint it in his head.
"Yo you guys , look what the cat dragged in"Davis one of his friends said as he settled beside the imposing man.
"The famous playboy, the one and only ice king." Ivan teased but he still kept quiet.
"Luciano, what's for dinner."Davis said with an ambiguous tone. Just then a loud noise drew their attention.
"What was that?" Ivan asked.
They soon found out because an obviously drunk woman sashed into their booth.
"You in the middle, let's get married."she declared leaving everyone present speechless, some of the people at the bar who attracted by the noise made their way there, some of them made videos of the scene. It's gonna be iconic- the queen of scandals proposing to the ice king and getting rejected. But they were in for the shock of their lives.
"How dare you barg in here and spill such nonsense from your mouth." Davis snapped but Luciano's next words left him speechless.
"Why not, as long as you are willing"
This was the first sentence he said since his arrival and it left them even more speechless.
"Amelia, what are you doing in here, I told you to wait in the car" Cora scolded, she didn't take notice of the men the room and attempted to take Amelia out of the booth because there were people peeking into the booth, she believed that Amelia must have done something embarrassing.
"Cora I am getting married don't take me away from my husband," She whined.
"To whom are you getting married to, you don't go proposing marriage to strangers ." Cora expressed but Amelia seemed lost to reason. The people present were enjoying the drama unfolding before them, the queen of scandals proposing marriage to the ice king, tomorrow's headline will be hot.
"Husband let's go before they try to separate us again " Amelia said clinging tightly to Luciano who in turn took her to the car and drove off leaving a stunned audience behind.
************
At the civil affairs beareu, Amelia was grinning from ear to ear whilst holding the marriage certificate. " I got married before you" she thought excitedly as she skipped out of the beareu.
Cora had the feeling that by morning she would regret it all.
"Cora I am going home with my husband don't wait for me." With that she skipped all the way to Luciano's car while humming a sweet tune to herself.
Luciano joined her in the car and drove off. Cora couldn't believe what just happened. Did her friend just get married to a random stranger and that too from a club, when she wakes up in the morning, she'd totally regret her actions tonight. With a loud sigh she left in her car.
**************
True to Cora's thoughts, Amelia woke up in the morning, sober, trying to figure out where she was and what she was doing here.
"Where am I, did I drink too much, I hope I didn't..... Ahhhh" she screamed as she saw a half naked man beside her, her sheriking voice woke Luciano.
"Good morning wifey" Luciano said with a playful smile. Seeing now , one would think that were a couple so in love.
"Wife, who is your wife? ." She said trying to sound confident ' what the hell did I do last night ' she thought inwardly.
" You wound me wifey" Luciano said with a mock sad expression.
"Stop calling me that I am not your wi...." She shut up when it all came back to her.
"Fuck" she cursed.
