A/N: I only own Erin.

mrs barrett, chelle, miamitravel, Sandrasmit19, xMyheartshine, flowerpower, and Sonib89- thanks for the reviews.

The first few chapters are going to be kind of sad/mean ones until they learn to live together... it's coming soon I promise.

Erin POV

I woke up the next morning and Stephen wasn't in the bed. I wasn't complaining as I got up and showered. I walked downstairs to hear people talking. I found Stephen and a few other people that I recognized from last night in the living room. I knew that I was going to have to remember names.

"Hey, Erin, glad to see you finally joined us. Look like Ste wore you out last night." The Englishman said and I blushed, but smiled.

"I don't kiss and tell, Stu." I said, proud that I actually remembered his name. He smiled as Stephen pulled me towards him.

"Erin, you and Maryse are going to go shopping today. Stu and I are going to the gym. I will see you for dinner." Ste told me and I nodded.

"Let me go upstairs and grab my stuff." I said and they nodded.

"Let me grab mah bag." Ste said and followed me upstairs to the room.

"I put a credit card in your wallet… spend whatever. I want yeh to buy some nicer clothes, shoes, and some dresses." He said and I looked at him.

"What's wrong with my clothes now?" I asked him as he walked up to me.

"Don't argue." He said and I frowned, but followed him downstairs.

We were going to leave.

"Are you afraid to kiss your bride bye in front of us?" Stu teased Stephen and I knew where this was going. I was standing there when Stephen walked over, wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me in for a passionate kiss. I made it look real so they wouldn't suspect anything, but I wanted away.

We left and Maryse talked non-stop. She was nice, but it was difficult to understand her at times. We went to the mall and I was impressed with the stores that she wanted to go into. We shopped at Macy's, Nordstrom, Victoria Secret, some shoe stores, and a few other smaller boutiques. We had a ton of stuff by the end of the day.

"Come on, time to get back and get ready for tonight." She said and I nodded.

Maryse POV

I liked Erin; I hoped that she was good for Stephen. I had come to hang out with Stephen, Stu, Mike, Drew, and Tayrn when I started dating Mike. We were all surprised when Stephen said that he was getting married, because he never mentioned anyone. I knew that a few people were surprised when they saw him walk in with Erin, because she was nothing like his ex-girlfriend.

We got back and I helped Erin put all her stuff into their closet; she didn't have a lot, but now her side was filling up. We got done and I convinced her to wear a hunter green cocktail dress that she bought. I was going to wear a creamy white dress with pumps. I got her all dressed up and we left to meet the guys. I knew that they were going to get ready after the gym.

"You look great." I said and she smiled.

"Thanks, Maryse, I appreciate the help." She said as we walked into a fancy restaurant in the middle of St. Augustine. We walked inside and spotted the guys in the back corner booth. Mike looked great in his dress pants and white shirt. Stephen always looked good in dress pants, a button up shirt, tie and waistcoat.

Stephen POV

I saw Erin and Maryse walk up and I had to admit that Erin looks amazing. Maryse made her look wonderful and I loved the color on her with her reddish-brown hair. They sat down with us and I smiled at Erin. She was a good actress and they really believed that we were happily married. I told the story of how we met and they thought we were the cutest couple. I was glad that Maryse seemed to like Erin and she would have a friend.

We left the restaurant and Erin was little tipsy. I was holding her to me as we got to the car. She was very quiet, but I figured that was just because she didn't want to be near me. We got home and I helped her out of the car.

"We aren't around anyone… you don't have to act like you care anymore." She said as walked into the house.

"I do care." I said and she rolled her eyes as she sat on the counter.

"Do you really care? Or do you just not want to disappoint dear old daddy?" she asked me and I pressed my tongue to my cheek so I wouldn't say anything.

"Whatever, I'm going to bed." She said and hoped down.

She walked upstairs and I was behind her. She was trying to find the zipper when I walked up and fixed it.

I leaned down and kissed her shoulder as I ran my hands down her arms. She let out a soft sigh before pulling away.

"I can't." she said and I pulled her back to face me.

I cupped her face in my hands and kissed her. She struggled before giving in and kissing my back. I felt her tongue slide across my bottom lip and I parted my lips. I was kissing her when I felt her bite down on my tongue. I pulled away from her and she smirked at me. I was getting annoyed at this behavior. I didn't think about it, but I slapped her right across the face. She fell to the floor and I was looking down at her. I knew that I shouldn't have done that, but I needed her to work with me on this. I knew that neither of us wanted this, but we were going to have to deal with it.

"Get cleaned up and get ta bed." I said before walking out of the room. I couldn't believe that I had done that; I was just so frustrated.

Erin POV

I cleaned up and laid in bed. I didn't think that he would react this way; I couldn't believe that he had hit me. I wanted to be anywhere, but here right now. I finally cried myself to sleep before he came to bed. I didn't want to be anywhere near him; he was far worse than I imagined and now I wondered how long I would survive.
