make you happy

Chapter 3

You're handsome but there's really nothing.. your charms have no effect on me. Maybe you're the one who likes me." No way. Let's say you are beautiful but your charm has no effect on me."

Are you sure?" He said looking straight into my eyes. Sure, sure." I answered and also stared at him. Let's have a bet.." I was the first to look away Bet? What?" She asked

Whichever one of the two of us is the first to fall." Okay. And then?"

Will pay. 100k..." Do I look rich? You can bet 100k. 10k is hard to earn." I laughed a little at what he said"Okay. If I fall first I will give you 100k.." I said What about me? What can I give?"

I held my chin under my chin while looking at him. Uyyy... I know those looks.." he said while hugging his own body.

That's not what I meant. What can you give me?" I'm just asking.

Umm... Happiness Do I look unhappy?"

Eh, that's all I can give. I can make you happy and contented." She said and winked at me. Fine. But I think I will win I said confidently. Let's see." He smiled sweetly at me.

Ahh..." I stood up and looked at the watch I was wearing.

It's late... I need to go."

It also stood up. "Take care and thank you for the delivery."

I nodded. "Thank you for the dinner too. I'll go first wait... can I----" ah sh*t. Why do I stutter? Umm..." I cleared my throat. "Can I get your number? So I can update you tomorrow... about the wedding."

Sure. It's mine.." I looked at his hand spread out in front of me.

Huh?" I sound like a fool.

It smiled. "Your phone. Are you going to take my number?" Ahh... Yeah.. yeah.. right." I took the cell phone that was in my pocket and gave it to him.

He reached for it and entered his Number. Here" I took it back.

Alright. See you tomorrow."

Okay. See you tomorrow my soon to be husband." I turned to him.

He waved and smiled at me.

I waved back. But what was done was immediately retracted by the realized. I continued walking and went to my car. I opened it and went inside.

I looked again at Reese who entered their house.

I smiled involuntarily and started the car and drove away.

The next day....I said goodbye to be absent from work first. This is the day I'm getting married.

I'm honestly nervous even if it's included in my deal with Reese. Our wedding will be held later in the afternoon in a municipality.

Good thing Theo has a friend who knows the mayor. So we quickly got an appointment with him.

I could have made a fake marriage certificate. The only problem is that Grandpa is very thorough in everything. He is not fooled that easily.

So I have no choice but to marry Reese for real. I'm leaving my condo now and I'm going to the café to pick up Reese. I called him a while ago and asked where I can pick him up and he said the cafe.

I was here and walking to the cafe when I noticed a man wearing a hat standing at the side of the shop looking inside. I was about to approach it when he noticed me and immediately left. I didn't see his face but his body seemed familiar. I think it's Micheal, Reese stalker. Since it left, I let it go and went inside.

Sir, Daemon good morning Po." Mary greeted me. Good morning too. Is Reese here?" I will ask "It's in the kitchen. I told you not to work anymore but it's naughty. I'll just call you." I nodded. I sat in the chair while waiting for Reese. Daemon? It's your morning?" I looked at him. You're excited aren't you." He added and smiled at me.

I stood up from sitting. "Of course not. I just want you to meet my friends before the I stopped and looked at Mary.

It's okay. I told Mary everything about our deal. That won't tempt her." Reese

For Reese and Skye's safety and I'm excited. You know, don't you, that deal will come true." Mary. It even has a silly smile on Reese and me.

I looked at Reese to see his reaction. But it's also looking at me.

He just smiled at me.

Umm.. Let's go?" I just said.

Okay. Mary?" Reese You go first, I'll help Diane here first. Just text me the address and I'll go." Mary All right."

We left the cafe and went to the car. Mary is a good and kind boss. He is the owner of the café where Reese works. At first I thought he was one of the employees working there.

Worried?" I asked Reese while driving the car. I'm not just thinking about anything." He answered. About what?" About backing out..."

What?" Suddenly the car braked me.

He looked at me and smiled. "Just kidding." He answered.

That's not a good joke." For a moment I was nervous.

If he refuses our deal now, I won't be able to find anyone to pretend to be my wife. And I will be forced to follow what Grandpa wants. Sorry." She said and smiled at me. I stared at him for a moment. The nervousness I felt suddenly disappeared. Didn't I tell you that I have one word and I will stand by it. Don't be too tense." He said.

I just nodded and went back to driving.

Whatever my friends say, don't pay attention. They're a little silly." I reminded him before we entered the town house that Ashton owns here on the ridge. Okay." He only answered.

Come on" I said and went inside.

D*mn! Don't push me. Arghh.. it's annoying." Ashton

stupid! Fix it because.. we're going to lose again." Mino Yes, babe. I know... I know. Of course not. You know that you are the only woman I love so much." Theo theo, baby do you want to eat my puss" Mino

stupid! Stop it No. Babe, it's not you. Mino is because" Theo

Good morning" the three of them looked at us. Holly molly.. who is this beautiful lady?" Ashton asked who was in front of Reese in less than a second.

Hi... My name is Ashton Marquez. But you can call me baby if you want." He took Reese's hand and intended to kiss it when I took it back from him.

I pulled Reese away from him.

Is she the one you're talking about?" Mino asked. D*mn! Where the h*ll did you find this beautiful lady?" Theo

You want to report me to Denice?" I threaten him.

It immediately shook its head and walked away. This is Reese, she's the one I'm telling you about. And please don't let her do your silly things to her."

They're my friend, Ashton who is bad, Mino who has a trust issue and Theo who is afraid of my cousin Denice." I introduce them. "Hi.. nice to meet you all." Reese greeted them with a smile.

Wow. You look even more beautiful when you smile and your name is beautiful as you." Ashton.

I blocked the palm of his face and pushed it away from Reese.

How much did Daemon pay you to pretend to be his Wife?" Mino asked without a brake. Hey. Stop asking that kind of question" Nothing! Actually, I don't need his money. I have a fine job, a good salary. The deal we made benefits the both of us. He needs my help and I need his, that's all." Reese answered this. Benefits? What kind of benefits?" Mino

Not the thing you think." Reese.

C'mon, stop asking questions. I'm bringing Reese her to meet you guys, not interrogating her." I said to them seriously. It's okay. They can ask questions if they want. I'm willing to answer all of that." Reese. You better sit down first." Theo said.

I made Reese sit on the single couch. The three sat on the opposite couch and looked at Reese. After the deal with Daemon can I hire you too to be mine forever?" Ashton starts again.

Reese laughed a little at what he said.

D*mn! You're not just a beauty but an angel. An angel who fell from the sky.." Ashton was like an idiot.

Can you stop your nonsense." I said a little annoyed. Tsk! What are you doing..." Ashton

So what?" I have a question here.

It's so good ahahahaha..." Ashton

Go! So, Reese are you ready to be a wife of Daemon Salvatore?" Theo asked.

Yeah." It answered with a nod.

You're lucky." Ashton. I secretly smiled.

Why?" Reese asked him. There are so many people who like Daemon." This is the answer.

I looked at Reese who nodded. "I think so. But I'm not one of them." He said and smiled. Woahhh! Really?" Ashton

I rarely hear that from a woman." Theo

Are you sure you don't like Daemon?" Mino. Yes. I've said it several times but I don't like him. He's handsome, he's attractive, but no." Reese Ouch. You're not here bro ahahaha.. I thought so, there's still a girl who can't resist your charm." Ashton said laughing Maybe what Daemon said about you was right, you really are strange." Theo

Reese turned to me, he looked at me for a moment. Well, we can't tell. We've only known each other for a few days." She said.

Ohh... That oh. So there's a chance?" Ashton asked. It did not answer. Looks thoughtful.

I just looked at him while waiting for his answer. Maybe? Maybe not?" I felt a little disappointed in his answer.

While Ashton and Theo just laughed.

I looked at Mino who was looking at Reese. Mino?" I called attention to him.

He looked at me.

What do you think?" I ask

About what?" He asked back.

It's like I noticed something different about him when I introduced Reese to them. About Reese?" They all looked at me and Mino. He looked back at Reese again.

I don't know!" He answered.

He stood up from his seat and left.

Anyare there?" Ashton asked.

I just shrugged my shoulders and answered suddenly. What is your favorite food?" Ashton asked Reese.

He said we need to know each other's likes and dislikes. So that when we are asked, our answers will match.

They thought it was okay too. I thought they were going to ask Reese something silly. Creamy beef broccoli with mushrooms." Reese replied Daemon doesn't like creamy food and he doesn't eat vegetables." Theo

Really? I thought you didn't like food?" Reese asked me.

It was difficult for me to smile. "Only with vegetables. And creamy foods only make you sick."

That's just the beginning." Theo grinned Isn't that your favorite Mino?" Ashton said to Mino next door.

It's quiet while listening.. sometimes he just reads a book. Something is really different about him now.

Yes" Mine"Really? What other foods do you want?" Reese asked here.

He was still smiling and seemed interested in Mino's answer.

Pasta and mushroom soup." Mino answered. Wow.. we like the same thing. Have you tasted the creamy bilo-bilo?" Reese.

Nope." Mino I think it's dessert, but it's delicious. It's my favorite. You should taste it. I'm sure you'll like it too." Reese. Do you also like to read books?" He asked Mino again.

Yup. Just passing the time."

What genre do you like?" Reese asked again here "A mix of action, thriller, and romance. But most of all I'd like to read fantasy, like Harry Potter." Mino

Wait? Are you talking about us? Why is he more interested in Mino than me?

Wow! I like that too, but I don't have time to read anymore. I only read kids stories now." Its language.

Kid stories? Why?" Theo asked.

I haven't mentioned to them yet that Reese has a child.

For my son..."What? Do you have a child?" Ashton and Theo said together.

Ahh.. yes. Didn't Daemon tell you?" The three of them looked at me.

You have a child? It's fast." Ashton

He's not the father... I'm a single mom of a 4 year old boy." Reese said and smiled lightly. Wow! You don't look like a mother." Theo You look like mommy... Mommy of my future children---- aww!" Ashton. I threw a small pillow at it on the couch.

Ahahaha... Well, I'm just 19 when I got pregnant." Reese. Ohh..." Ashto "Let's not talk about that." I said.

Reese seemed uncomfortable talking about it in front of my friends.

Yeah... Yeah... It's good. Umm.. Reese what kind of person are you?" Theo

I'm a sweet and sometimes clingy person." This is the answer.

You bro? Ah.. don't answer, I know you're bitter hahaha" Ashton.

Crazy! I'm also sweet and I'm a showy person. I don't want just words, there should be action. That's how I express my feelings towards a person." I explain. We just talked about our likes and dislikes until it was over and neither of them had any questions.
