DON’T LET ME GO

~ BRANDON ~

I woke up later than usual to Amy curled up around my waist so I decided to stay put since she was still asleep, the poor girl had been through so much already. I wasn sure if it was the warmth she gave me or the fact that I hadn slept in days but I soon drifted off to sleep again with her in my arms.

I wasn a heavy sleeper so when I felt her move to sit down I woke up. ”How was your night? ” I asked her while running my hand through my hair, an old habit of mine.

~ AMY ~

I found myself curled up around Brandons torso by the time I woke up, Dammit Amy you were supposed to be his teddy bear and not the other way around I scolded myself, unaware that Brandon had woken up until he said, ”How was your night? ”

The way he asked me that in his morning voice stirred up something within me but just as I turned to answer the words got stuck in my throat when I saw him. Something about the way he ran his hand through his hair making it look more messy hypnotized me and I couldn help but stare at his perfectly sculpted face. I knew Brandon was good-looking but this version of him was so gorgeous, ”like what you see? ” He asked smirking at me, I guess I stared at him for too long that he noticed.

I played with my finger out of habit and managed to say ”Yes–no, well maybe. ” He just chuckled and walked toward the closet but just as he was about to get in, he turned to me and said ”Well be going to the Court this morning to get our wedding certificate officially so you should get ready. ”

Him saying it now made it even more real and that stirred up some anxiety in me but I pushed it away and went to take a shower.

We were now in the car heading toward the marriage court and the closer we got the more dizzy I got, Brandon seemed to notice my distress so he gave me a bottle of water and told me ”Amy,

I know this is new and scary for you but I want you to know I won hurt you or let anyone hurt you or your father, fake or not we are now married and I will treat you like a husband should treat his wife so fear not. ”His words calmed me down and I smiled at him.

I couldn help but wonder why everyone feared him and called him the devil Prince because he was nothing like what the media painted him to be, if anything he was nice and caring although I noticed he sometimes struggled with expressing his emotions. I wanted to protect him and show the world this side of him, his gentleness and goodness but the possessive part of me also wanted his affectionate side all to myself.

He opened the car door for me when we arrived and held my hand as we walked into the building. ”Brandon Yor do you take Amy peters to be your lawfully wedded wife? ” The priest asked

”I do. ” Brandon answered as he stared deep into my eyes making me forget for a moment that our marriage was fake. ”Amy peters do you take Brandon Yor to be your lawfully wedded husband? ” He asked me, ”I do. ” I answered

”By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride. ” I stared at Brandon unsure what to do but he took the lead and leaned in close, the moment our lips touched I felt something Id never felt before and as I closed my eyes to savour the moment, it was like a million butterflies were set loose in my stomach. When he pulled away I was a bit disappointed but I tried to brush it off, I shouldn allow myself to develop feelings for him since our marriage is only for benefit and not because of love.

We signed the certificates and as we walked out of the court my new life as the official Mrs Yor began. I thought we would go back to the mansion but the car took a different route from the one we used earlier on so I decided to ask Brandon where we were going, ”Since we
e officially married I decided it would be best if we went to a studio to take some photos. ” He replied.

When we got to the studio which I soon found out was owned by him, the workers gave me a weird look and it was mainly the women but I just shrugged it off and continued walking. Brandon had to go check if everything was ready for the shoot so I was left alone, I was taking a stroll around the building when I suddenly got cornered by some ladies. ”Just so you know the boss doesn love you, he only married you to get a child so don think a slut like you is worthy of being his wife. He will never have feelings for someone like you. ” One of them told me and although she was right her words still stung but just as I was about to lose all restraints and start crying, I heard a voice from behind the three ladies. ”What do you think you
e doing insulting my wife? ” Brandon asked in the scariest voice ever making not only the ladies but also me to shiver, ”Amy is my wife whether you like it or not and I will not tolerate anyone diminishing whats mine, also who gave you the right to decide whether or not I love her or will love her? My relationship is none of your business and just so you know she is a million times better than any one of you will ever be, understand?…..Get out of my sight, you
e all fired. ” The women tried to beg for forgiveness but one look from Brandon made them run away like scared little rabbits. I couldn believe Brandon stood up for me and I felt glad that he did but I finally understood why they all called him the devil Prince, the way he behaved right now was so scary contrast to his gentle behavior around me all things considered. He walked towards me and held my hand pulling me close to him before saying, ”Amy I don know what has come over me but you
e changing me and although our marriage is only contractual I–I want to make it work somehow if you
e willing to do the same. Ive never been swayed by emotions but in the three days Ive known you for alot has changed in my way of thinking abd feeling and you
e someone I don want to lose. Im blabbering right now *sigh* lets go well take the photo some other day. ”
