Someone to Love - Chapter 4
Sonny, Carly, and Alexis raced around the penthouse making phone calls arranging the impromptu nuptials. The newlyweds-to-be sat, Jason on the couch, Gia on the desk chair, eyeing each other, sizing the other up, both trying to do it while the other wasn't looking.
Jason twiddled his thumbs, reminding himself to breathe, hating this waiting that was being enforced on him. He looked at Gia through the corner of his eye only to see her quickly look away. He couldn't take it anymore, he turned around to Sonny who was rushing by, "you sure you don't me to do anything?"
"No, it's almost ready."
Jason loudly exhaled, turned back around, and tried to settle in his seat.
"A little impatient are we?" Gia asked Jason mockingly. The only reply she received was a grunt. "Oh, how charming, reverting back to your caveman ways. So it's true what they say, you stick to one-word syllables all the time. This marriage we'll great fun."
"Yeah like it's my dream to be married to some model, with a huge attitude problem."
"Attitude problem? First of all you don't even know me, so why don't you get off your fucking high horse before you judge me, and second of all I never really was a model. Yeah I tried for the Face of Deception, because CARLY asked me too. And I didn't get the job at first, your stupid precious Elizabeth did. AND when Laura realized she had made a mistake in picking little Miss Muffet over me-"
"Oh YOU ARE SOO MODEST!!!"
"DO NOT INTERRUPT ME!!! YOU JACKASS!!!" By now Jason and Gia were screaming at each other.
"OH THAT'S REAL MATURE, NAME CALLING!!!"
"YOU CALLED ME SOME HOITY TOITY MODEL FIRST!!!!"
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID-I SAID THAT YOU WERE A SELF-CENTERED SPOILED-"
"JASON!" Jason and Gia were going at each other with everything in them, they were so involved fighting that they didn't see Alexis, Sonny, and Carly come back in the room. Neither one of them heard Sonny and Carly calling their names. "Can the two of you please cool it?" Sonny said this while hopefully looking back and forth between the two of them; he was beginning to get a headache from their bickering.
"I was just trying to inform Jason of the truth about my modeling." Gia politely told Sonny. "Needless to say, he started harping on how I hurt poor defenseless Elizabeth."
"Oh, goddam it, Sonny that's not what happened!"
"That's it! I don't want to hear anymore! You two are like children! Now Gia you go with Carly and get ready." Sonny was rubbing his forehead, bracing himself for more arguing.
"Get ready?" Gia asked.
"Oh, sweetie," Carly waked over and put her arm around Gia, "I'm not letting you get married in bloody jeans and a t-shirt." With that Carly pulled Gia up to change.
"I'll be in the other room making some calls," Alexis said giving Sonny and Jason sometime alone.
With Alexis gone Sonny turned to Jason, "are you sure you want to do this?"
"There's no other way," Jason paused before continuing, "no other easier way."
"Well you're doing a good thing." Sonny patted Jason on the shoulder in the macho way that males do.
Gia and Carly returned from upstairs, Carly came down first she was dressed in red. Gia was in a simple but elegant white dress, that wasn't at all for a virgin, more for an angel that was sick and tired of being good.
Jason looked up at Gia and hated the feeling he had in his gut: lust.
There was a knock at the door, and Alexis came out from the kitchen. "Is that the priest?"
Before she could be answered the guard opened the door and the priest entered.
Sonny turned to Gia, "You look great, are you ready?
"I guess so." Gia took a deep breath and thought about how much her life would change in the next 24 hours. She looked at Jason, she was disappointed, she could do so much better. She was marrying someone who could barely stand to be in the same room as her. She knew that the marriage wasn't real, but it still hurt her heart, she wasn't even sure he respected her. Well one thing was for sure, that was when they were married little lizard would NOT be coming around. She wondered what people would think. They'd all be shocked, her family would be devastated. Oh well it wasn't forever. Gia hated thinking that, marriage was supposed to be forever. And as unbelievably irritating as Jason was Gia knew she could do a lot worse.
"So is the couple ready to begin," the priest asked.
Jason and Gia just looked at each other and braced themselves.
