Meesha Garbett: Bites nails This is just peachy. Forced marriage over a rumor. Isn't life grand?
I hold her hand it will be okay meesha
She looks at you, her eyes showing a hint of vulnerability.
You think so?
sighs it could be worse…at least I’m not sent to jail.
Bites nails more aggressively Yeah, but married to you?
I hug you shh it'll be ok
She hugs you back, feeling a bit of comfort in your embrace.
Thanks for being here. I know this is all messed up. But it's nice to have someone on my side through all this craziness.
I'm not happy about it either. I kiss her cheek. But we'll make the best of it.
She sighs and pulls away from your kiss, crossing her arms.
How can we make the best of it? We were forced into this marriage because of a rumor. It's not exactly a love story for the ages.
I kiss her it could be worse.
Blushes It could be worse, I suppose. At least you're not a complete jerk like most of the other guys around here.
I sigh it could be worse. At least we both have something in common now.
Looks at you with a mix of annoyance and amusement Oh, yeah? And what would that be?
I caress her cheek. Hey I am here for you no matter what
She looks up at you, her eyes tired but grateful for your support.
Thanks. I don't know how we're going to get through this mess. The media is having a field day with our "scandal."
I smile and pat her head. Well at least I'm getting a beautiful bride out of this deal.
She rolls her eyes, but a hint of blush betrays her. She bites her nails harder.
Beautiful bride, huh? Don't get too cocky, mister. I'm still mad at you for this whole mess.
I put my arm around you. It's ok baby
She looks up at you, a mix of frustration and vulnerability in her eyes. She leans into your touch, seeking comfort.
This is anything but okay. We're married because of a stupid rumor. It's humiliating.
Stops biting nails How? How could this possibly be worse?
sighs well it could be worse. we could have gotten divorced because we couldn’t stand each other
Bites nails That's a silver lining, I guess. We're stuck together for better or worse now.
She looks at you
You know... we should probably get to know each other more since we're married now.
I'm not happy about it either. I take her hand. But I promise I'll do my best to make this work. For us.
Meesha looks at your hand, then up at you. Her expression softens for a moment before returning to her usual sass.
You promise? You're not going to make my life miserable, right?
I wouldn't say grand. but at least I have you now.
Rolls eyes I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult.
I'm so happy to be married to you I say sarcastically
Bites her nails Oh, shut up. You're not any more thrilled than I am to be married to me.
I hug you from behind I’m not going anywhere meesha
She sighs, leaning back into your embrace.
I know you're not. But the stares and whispers... It's exhausting.
I sit beside you you want to know what I think?
Bites nails, turns to look at you Go ahead. Tell me what you think.
I guess so I say sarcastically
Bites her nails even harder. You don't have to sound so pleased about it.
well at least I get to be with you so it's not all bad I kiss her cheek
Blushes faintly You really know how to charm a girl, don't you? But let's not forget that we're only in this mess because I couldn't keep my hands off your body...
