Chapter 4: His Name?

"Crystal... crystal wake up!"

I heard a voice through my sleep while I am repeatedly being shaken to wake up.

"Hmm..." I growled.

"We have a lot more to do here in Denmark. We will take a walk, tour around and not just stay in this room and sleep!"

I was a little annoyed at Trina's voice that causing pain in my ear. But I'm too tired to react to her screams and complaints. I don't even have the energy to get up from this bed I'm lying on.

Whatever happened last night really made me feel exhausted— 

Last night?

I flipped over by the fact that I realized what I just said,

"Aww!" I fell on the bed. I opened my eyes but I see nothing. 

My face is now on the floor...

I raised my palm to my forehead as I felt the growing pain caused by my falling.

There seemed to be a sudden flick in my head. "I was just asleep! It was just a dream, I told you!"

She just stared at me not knowing the reason why I was grinning right now.

"I told you nothing like that."

I ran towards Trina and hugged her tightly, I might have used all my strength because we both fell onto the floor. 

"What happened to you?" She asked in astonishment, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at me.

"I thought I actually married someone last night. Thank you so much for saving me from that strange dream!" I said in the happiest tone I've ever screamed, but Trina still doesn't understand what happened to me.

"You married someone last ni- Uh, forget it, you're probably just dreaming. Let's get dressed now so we can leave." She said as she picked up the clothes. "Aren't we going to tour this place? What are you planning Crystal? you know we'll only be here for a while and you still wandered around last night by yourself."

Cheese...

"I what?" 

Trina turned to me with eyes that could not understand whether annoyed or confused. "I said, you wandered alone last night and you even came home late." She put the clothes down again before she sat on the bed. "The weirdest thing is that, you're like weren't on your own last night when you got out of the taxi, the depth of what you were thinking might be too deep. And then you went straight to bed and sleep so I didn't get a chance to ask where have you been." She told me completely that it was as if she had killed me.

Everything that happened last night... was real?

As soon as I realized that all the events last night were true, the door suddenly rings in the room where we are staying.

Trina and I looked at each other with both raising eyebrows, we're not expecting anyone to come so who is it?

"Maybe it's Eliz? she said she will just stroll around and come back. Go open it and I'll start changing." She picked up the clothes again and acted to enter another room.

I hurried to the door to open it because she might be right that it's just Eliz.

When I opened the door, it wasn't her.

I gasped.

To my great surprise, I closed it again.

I panicked opened the door because it was kind of embarrassing.

I saw a man carrying a large box.

"Who is it and why did you gasp?" Trina shouted from the room.

"Uh... Trina?!"

"What?"

"Did you just ordered something?"

"No, I didn't." Trina also came to the door because of my question. "Maybe there was just a mistake in the roo- Woah!!! What is that?"

"I have no idea, maybe you should ask him?" I pointed to the man.

Suddenly, the other men came out as if they were being controlled by the same man.

"Uh... them?" I pointed to the men carrying large boxes that were obviously expensive.

I looked at Trina and signaled to her what is this all about.

The men have already entered, Trina and I backed away so they could pass safely even though I'm still not sure what's going on and why are they entering without our consent.

I pulled Trina closer to me. "Do you even have the money to pay all of this?" I whispered to her with pure annoyance. I'm mad about whatever this is, where would we find the money to pay them.

We only have the exact budget for this trip.

I mean, it's not just a trip for me though.

Trina whispered back to me out loud. "What!? No! I told you I'm not the one who ordered all those pieces of stuff."

"Okay then, if it's not you and not me... maybe it's Eliz?" She glared at me because of what I thought.

"That stupid brat, she did nothing but to be the main problem." I looked at Trina and she suddenly became silent when she noticed it.

"Yes, I know that she's still your sister, but where do we get all the money to pay these stu-" She could not continue what she was saying when all the men who carried the large boxes go straight to the door and closed it.

Before we even asked what was going on, they are gone. They did not even speak or say anything about what they were carrying.

"O...kay? what was all of this about? FREE products?" As far as I know, there is nothing free in this hotel.

I noticed Trina walking towards the boxes.

"No! don't touch it, there might be some mistakes about the room they have to deliver it so if you ever break anything on that then we have to pay fo-"

"Crystal... Harrison..."

I stopped when I heard my name, I turned to look at Trina and I noticed that she's holding a small piece of paper.

"What about me?" I approached her to look at the paper she was reading. "Look, I promise I didn't order any of these."

"Dress up... and... don't... be late... at my wedding..." Trina continued what she was reading.

No way...

"From, your husband...?!" She asked in shock when she read the last words below.

I just closed my eyes to everything that was happening as a result of my stupidity last night.

"Are you kidding!? Did you just got literally married and didn't even bother to tell me!?" She asked me out loud, probably because she was shocked by what she read.

"No," I answered quickly with an unsure tone. "I- I guess... I did?" I should admit it. I can't do anything because I've already agreed to a deal. I even signed a contract.

I can now recall the entire thing that happened. Why did I even do that?

Perhaps I just got carried away, plus I was tired and still having sort of a jet lag from an 8 hours flight when a stranger just asked me to marry him.

"What were you thinking?"

I didn't answer Trina's question, how can I answer it if I myself don't know what I was thinking last night that I just agreed to get married.

"Who is the guy and what's his name?"

Trina added, which made me even more confused, what is it? I didn't even know the name of the guy I just married? I'm sure I heard it from his girlfriend last night but I can't remember what was it.

"What. Is. His. Name!?" Trina asked furiously.

Fearing that she might get even angrier with me, I rolled my eyes around the room to look for something or a name I could say to her.

I just now noticed this small room, this is all our budget has reached here. Seems kind of filthy and intrusive.

"His name is uh..."

My vision stopped when I came across a small hanger on the bag.

"K-Key...?" I firmly closed my eyes because of lying.

"Key?" I nodded quickly.

"What's his last name?"

I was startled by her next question, I didn't expect it so I immediately thought of something to cover it up.

"Uh..."

I can't say that his last name is a chain because Trina will catch me lying.

"What!?" It might take me a while to think because Trina is already raising her voice.

"Zayn! K- key... Z- zayn." I lost confidence. Trina's eyes don't look convinced so I adjusted the statement to make it more convincing.

"His name is Key Zayn," I said confidently before smiling.

"Where did you met him?" Trina asked emphatically as she walked over to the bed to sit on it.

I try to avoid looking her in the eye. "I met him at the... uh... Cit-" I was interrupted when the phone rings.

Thank god.

I dug in my pocket to find my phone but it wasn't there, so I immediately ran to the bed and looked for it. When I saw my phone under the pillow, I answered the call quickly before putting it to my ear.

"Hello?"

"The wedding is at 4 in the afternoon and someone will already be waiting outside to pick you up." These deep voices were familiar. "Make sure to not be late cause I have a lot to tell you before the wedding." Even on the call, he was very bossy.

I was about to speak when he turned it off.

I shook my phone and hardly tapped it, I had something more to say, but he hung up.

I just tossed it on the bed. I messed up my hair and pulled it out in great annoyance.

"Who called? Is that him?"

I stopped what I was doing and looked at Trina. I forgot that she is still here.

I nodded while looking at her with fear in my eyes.

Her eyebrows furrowed before she looks elsewhere and obviously thinking of something.

I waited for her to say anything but she didn't speak again, so I just went to the big boxes to see what they contained.

As I opened the boxes I saw out of the corner of my eye that Trina was picking up the rest of the clothes before re -entering the room to finish dressing.

I can't tell if she's mad because it was hard to read her face.

When I opened the large box I could not help but admire the beauty of what's inside it.

It's a beautiful white dress.

I lifted it out of the carton so I could look at it even more closely.

This is so pretty. I can't remember when was the last time I wore anything like this. Probably never.

It's like a cinderella-Esque evening gown that wishes to be a wedding gown but can only ever aspire to be a prom dress.

I quickly put it on my body to see how it looked.

It's a little tough to put on because the back has a long zipper that needs to be lifted by someone else.

I can't reach my back but I try everything I could but I feel like my arms were going to fell off because of too much numbness right now.

"Here." I was shocked when I felt someone fixed it from behind me.
