Hey guys,

so this chapter is a little bit longer, but usually I think I will favor short chapters because there are easier to write, and it allows me to update more often.

Adrian's POV

I heard a scream and rushed immediately to the bathroom, not caring about knocking at the door.

"Is everything okay?" I asked, worried. Sydney was holding herself to the furniture as if she was about to fall at any moment. She also looked very pale. Her gorgeous blond hair were in a mess, her eyes were a deep-blue and the small amount of make-up that she had put on last night, was fading. I was walking carefully towards her when she stopped me.

"Don't..." her voice was only a whisper.

"Sydney I'm starting to be worried here, what is going on?" I replied, trying to stay calm.

"What is this?" she said, shaking her left hand and pointing to her finger.

"Well I'm pretty sure it's a ring. To be exact it's an 18 carat diamond ring from Cartier." I answered confused by her question.

"Are you kidding me?!" she yelled. She looked very pissed but that was kind of hot coming from her.

I stared hungrily at her. The towel was small and barely covered her assets. Even if it was tightly tied around her chest, her fair skinny well shaped legs which tempted me last night were clearly visible right now. She was quite an eyeful.

When I came to Las Vegas last night, I thought it would be just like the other times. A weekend of debauchery, to forget all of my problems. But this girl, or rather this woman got under my skin. She wasn't like the other women I've been with, or I'm use to be surrounded. Being a wealthy well-known artist and handsome as a Greek God [I mean come on, even I can't deny it] I attract hot women like a magnet.

She was standing next to the counter, dressed in a black short dress which revealed her long perfect legs, highlighted by high heels. The dress had long lacy sleeves and a very small low cut line. However her little curves were still emphasized. By her demeanor I could tell that she wasn't comfortable to wear this kind of clothes, and to draw attention. She wasn't the type of woman to be in these places, I bet she was dragged here. Besides, she wasn't luscious like the girls I like. Physically speaking she was not my type of girl, but I was still attracted to her in a certain way. I wouldn't say that she was hot, but more like beautiful [wow that's a first time for Adrian Ivashkov to call a woman beautiful].

When I approached her, I noticed that she had piercing ocean blue eyes underlined by a fine black eyeliner line, and blond medium-length hair which fell to her back in little curls. Her fine soft lips were enhanced by a pink lip gloss which tasted like strawberries. I still remember their sweet taste...and how they felt against mine…[Okay Adrian get a grip, you're heading towards a dangerous territory, do not forget that you are only wearing a pair of boxers!]

I was thankfully or more like unfortunately put out of my daydream by a stir of pain in my right cheek.

"Hello?!" Sydney said, waving her hands in front of my face.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Did you just slap me? You could have ruin my perfect face." I responded spitefully not without hiding a smile.

"Seriously?! You're unbelievable. You weren't answering and standing there, staring I don't where so I just slapped you to be sure you were...well I don't know... still with me...on Earth...Well you just scared me and looked super creepy. Anyway, can we go back this" she said breathlessly pointing to her ring.

"Could you explain me why do I have a freaking million dollars ring on my finger?" she asked angrily.

A few seconds passed before I came back to Earth and realized what she was talking about.

"Wait...you don't remember, do you?" I finally managed to say. She was probably playing with me...right...she can't have forgotten this! I mean, yeah she was a little tipsy, so was I but I was still aware of what we were doing, even though it was a sudden impulse...

"Remember what damn it?! For the love of God, would you stop being so cryptic and tell me what the hell happened last night?" she was shouting now.

Okay maybe she was more wasted than what I thought. God I should have noticed it. She was such a fragile creature who looked so small in my arms, of course she could not hold a drink...now I feel like I took advantage of her...I may be a drag sometimes, but I've never forced a girl to do something she didn't want to do. NEVER, that's my first rule, well with the "always use protection thing"...anyway I have to stop playing games and tell her the truth; before she has a heart-attack, or slaps me again.

"Sydney...last night...we...we... got...married...hence the ring on your finger...". I said as gently as possible.

By the look on her face, it's as if I've told her that I was a vampire or some other crazy stuff. She was pale as death, her mouth was open but no sound came out of it, and her eyes looked like there were going out of her orbits how much they were goggled.

Wow I have to tell, that's absolutely not the reaction I expected from the future lucky Miss Ivashkov…

At least, after what felt like centuries she finally stammered something intelligible.

"WHAT?! No...No...that can't be possible...there's probably another explanation, I mean...I could not have possibly married you last night." she said laughing nervously.

Well, another hit to my ego I have to admit...this girl was full of surprises.

"That's insane, right. It is just a not very funny joke and that's the moment you tell me there are hidden cameras or something like that..." she continued looking at me expectantly.

"Sage...after your reaction I wish it was a bad joke, but it is NOT. I wedded you last night..." I replied carefully..

"Okay...okay... I'm definitely going to be sick again!"She responded before puking on the faucet this time.

I went to the kitchen to look for some aspirin for Sydney and a cigarette for me. Oh yeah I really need to smoke right now because I bet I still have surprises in store…

So what did you think of this chapter? Was it what you were expecting?
