Chapter 5 - Elope With A Stranger

Kenzo never thought that this little woman would have the most things that he wanted in life. In fact, he's interested in marrying her. Although he has nothing in this life, Kenzo felt like he needed to give this girl some pampering and love. He could fall in love too that he never did in his entire life.

"Bully me?"

"Well," she sighed and stared at the road. "My family is quite a bully. They are rich assholes."

"Rich assholes, huh? Now you sound like Caleb."

"Caleb is the cousin of my best friend. But since she's not here, I'm doing a stupid decision." She explained shortly and she became talkative because of the few shots that she drank.

"Let's try if you regret it." He shrugged at her. It's now or never for him.

"Let's get married first thing in the morning." She said. "Do you have work?"

"Let's get married now. There's a church nearby we can drop by if you want."

"Oh~~okay…"

Soon, the rented car arrived. He opened the back of the door for her and she thanked him. She slid in first and he followed. The driver confirmed them first and then, the address that was just in the boundary of the City of Lwazi and the City of Berkon. She nodded at it and held his arm like she didn't want to let him go. He covered the paper bag first and held her hands. This little girl must be suffering over something and it seemed like she didn't like to be called a little girl. However, she's adorable and he was into her. It's a good thing that he wore a new shirt and he didn't smell bad from work.

Working on a construction site doesn't make him earn that much. But he could at least pay the rent. He's two months late at the moment and he needs to pay it. Probably will start searching for a good house to rent for this adorable girl.

It's a twenty-minutes drive to the crowded place. It wasn't even a subdivision but more like a squatter area.

"In here please," Kenzo told the driver. The driver parked the car on the other side and he reached for the money.

"It's already paid." She mumbled. "I use the online payment."

"Oh, okay." He opened the car and thanked the driver.

Then, he held the door for her as she hopped out of the car. He closed the door and took her hand as they walked into a dangerous place. She didn't ask him any questions. She didn't want to be rude toward him. They reached a church and it looked old, more like antique. It's nine in the evening and the church closes at ten.

"Kenzo!" The priest was wearing a black long sleeve with a white on the middle of his collar and black pants. He looked old, with few silver strands of hair.

"Father." He smiled at the priest and shifted the paper bag on his other arm. "This is Jaya, my girlfriend. We would like to have your blessing."

"Blessing?" The priest asked. "Like marriage?" He asked.

"Yes, father."

"Oh, okay. Sure, let's go inside. I am finally happy that you found the love of your life. But we need details by tomorrow. Can't you get married tomorrow or the other day?"

"No. Father," Jaya Victoria said. "I would like to get married to him right away."

"I will get my bible first." The priest said with a smile.

Victoria nodded and she took the paper bag from him and put it on the bench. Then, she fixed her hair and her face, then she held his hand.

"I~~I don't have a ring here." He mumbled.

"It's fine. We can buy those tomorrow."

Kenzo didn't know what he's doing at the moment. But he stared at her eyes and noticed everything beautiful.

"I wonder why the two of you want to rush your wedding." The Priest said. "But if it's love, why not?" Even the priest noticed the way Kenzo looked at her. It was gentle and hopeful.

The priest blessed them and they sign few things. She promises that she will come back to him and after that, he took her to his house. It has a bad smell outside and is crowded even late at night but he apologizes for it. She didn't mind it at all and when they reached the room that he's renting, he turned on the lights and gesture to the bed.

She removed her shoes and put them at the side of the door. Although he only has a few things in a small room with a bathroom, it's still neat and clean. She put her purse on the table and sat down on the bed that has a very thin mattress foam. He put the paper bag and their food over it. She's starving. She approached him and hugged him from behind.

Kenzo never felt someone's touch for a very long time. He guessed that she needed such comfort and he does too. He understood that everyone has their depression, insecurity and he knew that this girl had those. Although she has a rich family, she still feels lonely because of few things. He understood the feeling.

He set up the table although it's a small one. Then, he unwrapped her arms from him and pulled a chair for her. He only had one chair, so he could just stand.

"I'm starving." She remains standing.

"Sit down." He told her.

"It's fine. If you stand then I'll stand."

Weird. She's weird. Kenzo never met such a weird beautiful woman. But weird is unique and he liked it. They eat the food from the convenience store and she didn't even complain about the food that he could only buy. It's cheaper and way better than the food that he usually eats. She took a bottle of water and drank it.

"You good?" He asked.

"Yeah." She smiled at him. "It's good eating while standing so it could easily digest the food."

"Hmm," He nodded and gathered the paper boxes and put them all back in the paper bag to throw them. "Bathroom is here." He pointed to the door. "Do you want to wash up?" He asked.

"Can we go straight to sex?"

He froze for a moment and shook his head. He scooped her cheeks.

"Darling, I don't want to take your first time here. It's a shabby place."

"Okay." She sighed. "Hand me a shirt. I don't want to sleep in this dress. It's quite uncomfortable."

He waited for her to be done in the bathroom and he took the dress and hung it. He removed his shirt and put it on the laundry basket. Then, he entered the bathroom in shorts. She sat down on the bed and looked around the small space that he lived in. There are only two bulbs. From the main room and to his bathroom. And she guessed that he didn't use too much of it since he had a big flashlight that was now charging and the fan was on the corner covered with plastic. Seemed to be unused.

She lay down on the single pillow and waited for him while chewing the bubblegum. She didn't have a toothbrush with her and she's conscious that her mouth would smell bad. She disapproves of having mouth-to-mouth with him in a bad breath. She took the tissue from her purse beside her. She took the bubble gum from her mouth and wrapped it with tissue. Then, she approached the trash bin to throw it. The door opened and she stared at him for a while. How can a God-like man? He got a chiseled body. She swore that she already saw Jason's top body and it is good but not as good as this.

She smiled at him and tiptoed. Besides, she guessed how big he is down there since he's wearing black boxer shorts. He bent down since she's only at the level of his chest. He pulled her up and kissed her lips. She kissed back. He then pulled away.

"How about let's sleep?" He suggested.

"Do you have work tomorrow?"

"I do. I leave usually at six in the morning."

"Hmm, you work nearby?"

"Yes." He answered as he pulled her to the bed.

"Kiss me more…" She asked.
