"What the hell?" Isabella yelled in panic as she saw the bundle of surprise lying beside her on the bed.
That was as soon as she had opened her eyes that morning and turned to the other side of the bed.
The bundle of surprise was an attractive man in his early thirties. But Bella didn't seem to know him.
"Who is he? And where the hell are we?" Bella wondered and at that moment, she felt her head pounded. Then, hazy pieces from the previous night rang in her head.
The previous night was her bachelorette's party in Las Vegas, where she had flown to with her friends.
"Oh, fuck me. I was too drunk last night." She remembered and shook her head regretfully.
"What have I done? Oh God!" She mumbled and quickly got out of the bed. And that was when she realized she was stark naked.
"No, no... It can't be. What will I tell Dylan?" She screamed. She was so disturbed and gritted her teeth.
Her scream had made the strange man stir in his sleep and slowly, he started to wake up.
"Fuck." She seethed and quickly grabbed the sheet, grabbing it around her naked body blindly.
"Why did you do that? I was enjoying the view." Bella heard a deep, masculine voice say. It was the man, he had sat up on the bed. Since Bella had grabbed the sheet from the bed, the man wasn't covered and she saw him completely naked.
"Can you cover up? Please?" Bella gritted out after snatching away her eyes from the man's nakedness.
"You took the sheet..." The man stated as if telling her what she didn't know. Bella hissed.
"Besides, you shouldn't be shy to look at me. We are way past that. Not when we are married." The man said and Bella couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"Married? So, just because we accidentally spent the night together because I was drunk, you have married me?" She asked, still laughing in disbelief.
However her laugh died down when she saw the seriousness on the man's face. She squinted her eyes and narrowed them on the man.
"Here's the evidence..." The man spoke up, showing her his fourth finger which held a ring.
Bella was taken aback. The man saw the disbelief written all over her and signalled to her to check her own finger. She did so reluctantly and shrieked.
"Why do I have a ring on my finger? I am not married...yet." She yelled, feeling so shocked.
"We got married last night, dear wife." The man said casually and at that, the memory of the previous night came crashing into her befuddled mind. And she started reliving how it had all started.
*FLASHBACK*
"Girl, it is your bachelorette party. Of course, we can't hold the party here. Let us go and have fun. You should go and have the last fun as a spinster." Emily, her best friend had maintained stubbornly.
"Em, do you think that is really necessary? You know I am not big on parties. And this is just one night we are talking about, why go all the way to Last Vegas just for that? Besides, I have a business to manage and..." Bella was trying to say no to the idea but Em, her bubbly, very sociable friend wouldn't let her finish her sentence before interrupting her.
"Bella, you own your business. It won't go anywhere just because you want to hold your bachelorette's party. You deserve a break, girl. I know how hard you have been working for years without a break. Now is the right time." Emily insisted. Her tone was persuasive and sharp.
Bella heaved a sigh and shook her head slowly.
"I am not sure about that, Em..." She was saying but got interrupted again.
"I have invited the girls. They can't wait to come celebrate with you, Bella. You can't disappoint them." Emily maintained. Her eyes were hopeful.
Finally, Bella agreed to the idea and Emily was jubilant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Girl, stop working and enjoy yourself. We are going on this trip for you, so relax." Emily said to Bella as she collected the documents the latter was perusing. Then, they had just landed in Las Vegas and were on their way to the hotel for the party.
"Em, are you teaching this girl at all? She doesn't know how to relax. She is not the only independent woman out here, you know." Mara, one of the girls who had followed them said, lightly.
"I have but she is refusing to learn. Our girl operates a well-structured life and won't ever bend her principles." Emily replied to Mara and the girls laughed.
"Okay, fine. You want me to relax and party? I will let you know how big of a party person I can be." Bella announced and the girls cheered her on.
And they had started drinking and partying immediately they got to the hotel.
Towardz the evening, they were already bored of the usual.
"Aren't you bored that we are just partying inside the room?" Audrey, the third girl asked. Mara and Emily nodded in agreement.
"Ladies, I have an idea." Mara's eyes shone with excitement.
"Let's go out to the bar. There are hot men there. We can invite some of them to our table and play a game with them." Mara suggested. They all agreed and they went to the bar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Damsel, shall we play a game?" The attractive man who sat beside Bella asked her.
"Definitely. Any game... Bring it on." Bella had slurred. She was drunk. And her drunken friends cheered her on.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"We just played a game. And that was all." Bella mumbled under her breath after remembering part of what had happened the previous night.
"Was it? I think I am missing something." She mumbled further.
"What kind of silly game did we play that got me married overnight?" She gritted out in frustration.
