I'm Getting Married? by Sarah Becker (speed reading book TXT) 📖

to our couch and slowly sat down. I noticed that Rebecca and Robert had come into the room and they were now moving to sit on the couch across from mine while my mom and dad sat next to me. “What’s going on?” I asked for just about the millionth time as my mom gently took my hand in hers. “When you were a baby you-““Almost died, but I survived and the doctors said it was a miracle. I know mom, I’ve heard this story a million times.” I said interrupting here. “That’s not exactly how the story really went…….” My mom said nervously twiddling her thumbs in her hand. “What? So what really happened?” I asked. “You were dying.” My mom said, her hands were trembling and the tears were still falling down her face. “The doctors said that there was only way you would survive.” My dad said holding my mother close. “But the procedure cost a lot of money and I and your mother aren’t exactly the richest people.” “And Th-that’s when the Co-collingtons stepped in.Th-they offered to pay for your surgery if we agreed that you marry their son when you turn seventeen.” “And we said yes.” My dad finished because my mom was crying too hard to talk. My face went a pale white color and I suddenly felt like throwing up as realization dawned on me. “But I-“ I started to say but the next thing I knew I was falling. I heard someone call out my name but the next thing I knew the world was black.

“Zoey,” Someone whispered while shaking me lightly. “Hmm,” I moaned. “Zoey, come on get up,” The voice said tightly. I slowly opened my eyes and came face to face with someone’s crotch. I screamed and jumped up looking around while my memory of what happened slowly came back to me. I turned and saw that Tyler was the one who had woke me up and he was also the one whose lap my head was lying on before. “You,” I said my eyes narrowing at him. Tyler frowned, “Katie, Can you let me explain?” He asked as I walked out of the……….. Limo? When did I get in a limo? Who cares, I thought as I walked off. “Katie!” I heard Tyler say then suddenly felt his warm hand on my wrist and scolded myself when it made me tingle all over. “What.” I said yanking my hand away. “Please just listen!” “What is there to listen to!?!” I yelled at him. “How you ruined my life? Or maybe how you-“ But before I could finish Tyler pulled me close to him and kissed me. I struggled at first trying to get away but soon his amazing lips coaxed me into kissing him back and to tell the truth…… I damn straight enjoyed it! Tyler pulled away from me and I stumbled a bit still a little dazed. “I had no decision in this and if I did, I wouldn’t be making you do this, no matter how cute I think you are.” Tyler said now that he had my attention but the only thing I heard was that he thought I was cute. I stared up at him and cursed myself for being so attracted to him. “Shit,” I said then grabbed him by the back of the neck and pulled him down to my lips. At first he was too shocked to kiss me back but soon came to his senses and slipped his arm around my waist pulling me against him. I pulled back slightly and rested my forehead on his. “I hate you,” I whispered. “No you don’t,” He whispered back his breathing still heavy from our kiss. I was just about to prove to him how much I didn’t hate him with a kick to the place a guy never wants to get kicked when his mother suddenly appeared at our side. “Oh Katie, I was just looking for you, I see you and Tyler are getting along.’’ She said smiling happily. I faked a smile at her and pushed Tyler away. “Hi Mrs.Collington,” I said trying not to let my emotions show. She frowned at the name. “Rebecca,” She corrected and I nodded. “Come along darling, I was just going to show you your room. You must be exhausted.” She said pulling my arm. “Yeah,” I said smiling tightly. Even though Rebecca was probably the reason why I’m being forced into this marriage, I couldn’t be mad at her she was just way too nice! I wish she was mean; it would be so much easier to be mad at her! Rebecca had pulled me into an enormous and beautifully designed house. The walls painted white and white/tan marbled floors. The house split off into a bunch of different hallways the same with the upstairs. There were antiques placed carefully all around the house. Dang!! Tyler is fucking rich!!!!We were walking down a hall when she suddenly stopped and turned to face me. “I know this all sudden and it’s probably going to take a lot of getting used to but could you please just give Tyler a chance? Please? I know I have no right to ask you this but he really is a good person.” Rebecca said and I could see the honesty in her words. I could also the love, care, and pride she had for her son. I nodded my head at her and gave her a small smile. “I’ll give him a chance.” I said and suddenly she was hugging me. “Oh, thank you Katie!” I could feel her happy tears dropping onto my shirt. She backed up and straightened herself out then smiled at me again. “Come on,” She said and took my arm continuing to show me to my room. She stopped in front of room and urged me inside. It was a nice room. The walls painted a light blue and the king sized bed with black bed sheets. There was a big stereo system in the corner of the room with a bunch of different CD’s sitting next to it along with a big mahogany dresser. There was a door and me being curious, I opened the door. “Ummm,” I said facing Rebecca. “I think someone already stays in this room.” Rebecca laughed. “Of course someone does, it’s Tyler’s room silly.” “Oh no-“ I said starting to protest but she just patted the back of my head. “It’s perfectly fine darling, besides how are you suppose to get to know each other if you’re in a room on the other side of the house?” She questioned. “But-“ I stared but she cut me off. “I insist you stay in here. Now you get to bed you must be tired from your long day.” Rebecca said then closed the door on her way out. “Sneaky little…..” I mumbled and heard Rebecca laugh from behind the door.
Chapter 3: Tyler’s chance
“Guess I’ll have to make the best of this.” I said to myself. I noticed that I was still in my beach clothes and I started to walk into the bathroom. It had a huge tub and a separate glass shower that looked really tempting right now. There was a cabinet next to the marble sink and I opened it, looking for a towel. I hung on the towel hanger outside the shower and started to strip. I turned on the shower and waited for it to warm up before stepping into the shower. I slowly washed away the salt water while at the same time washing off all the stress. I started thinking about what I’m going to do with Tyler while I was washing my hair and suddenly and idea came to me. I was so excited to tell Tyler about my idea! I started to rush through the rest of my shower. I grabbed at the towel and wrapped it tightly around myself hoping that someone had brought my stuff up. I walked out of the bathroom door and started for the closet when I heard a small cough. I turned slowly and my eyes widened when I saw Tyler lying on the bed staring at me with an amused expression. “Hi,” he said smiling at me. I turn and ran towards the closet and slammed the door shut. I could hear his laughter from behind the door and scowled lightly. Sadly, no one had come up with my stuff yet so I looked around Tyler’s closet and pulled out a REALLY big shirt that went down to my knees. With nothing but Tyler’s big shirt on I walked out of the closet. He looked up from where he was on the bed when he heard the door close and I could literally see the dirty thoughts running through his head when he saw me and I couldn’t help but smile mentally to myself. Tyler got up from the bed and walked over to me. He carefully pushed me back so that I was up against wall and leaned forward so his mouth was next to my ear. “You’re wearing my shirt,” He whispered huskily. “No one brought up my clothes yet,” I whispered back. “You look so hot in it,” He said nibbling lightly on my ear then trailing a bunch of kisses down my neck. Unable to take it anymore, I moved my head toward his and eagerly pushed my lips against his loving the feeling of sparks that ran straight through my body and into a special spot between my legs. I moaned loudly into his mouth and he wrapped his arms around my waist picking up from the floor while at the same time pressing me closer to his body. I wrapped my legs around his waist, completely forgetting that I had nothing but a t-shirt on. I moaned again when I felt his erection tapping right on to my core. Unconsciously, I rubbed myself against him and he pulled me even closer to him. “Oh god Katie!” Tyler moaned putting his hands on either sides of my waist to stop my rubbing. I pulled back and looked at him curiously “Why’d you make me stop?” I asked him while slowly unwrapping my legs and sliding back down to the ground. Tyler groaned and closed his eyes. “I want you to make sure you really want to before I have sex with you.” I stared at him thoughtfully. If it was any other guy they wouldn’t have hesitated to put me on that bed and take my virginity but not Tyler…………… “That’s really sweet,” I said smiling him. He gave me a small smile and stepped back still trying to get control of himself. “So, ummm, I have a…. proposition to make you.” I said slowly to him. He raised an eyebrow at me signaling for me to continue. “I’m going to give you a chance.” I stated and watched as a big smile broke out on Tyler’s face while my heart fluttered. “Here’s the deal, you have one month. Make me fall in love with you and I’ll marry you if not then I won’t. It’s simple.” Tyler nodded. “I can agree to that. “Good,” I said smiling. “Now let’s go to sleep, I’m tired.” I said crawling in to bed and hoping that Tyler’s shirt is covering my special parts. “Okay,” Tyler said turning off the lights and getting in next to me. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me to his chest. “What are you doing?” I mumbled “Trying to make you fall in love with me,” He whispered back. “M’kay,” I said before falling asleep.

I woke up the next morning feeling the most relaxed that I have ever felt in my life. I stretched my arms up over my head and sighed contently when I suddenly felt a small restraint. Curious, I looked
