157 Emergency Leave (1/2)
Keira was humming and smiling on her own inside the car.
This morning Zach explained to her why he was holding back in taking her completely: he wanted to marry her first.
”Marriage...” she mumbled almost squealing, but she tried hard to keep her feelings under control. She looked really crazy right now beside Zach, who was scratching his head.
”Maybe I should be the one to buy an engagement ring since he's too busy right now?” she mused. She recalled how hesitant Zach was about telling her his reason. But she was persistent and acted all hurt and irritated in front of him. It left him no choice but to spill it out.
Time was gold - a saying that was overused but so applicable for her in their situation.
”Why do we need to wait for that mission to be completed?” Keira mumbled as she moved in the passenger seat so she can look at Zach.
A proper ceremony could follow, but right now, she needed this marriage registration to be a done deal. Who knew when and for how long Zach would be gone again. She couldn't wait to give her body to him and enjoy being in each other's arms while they were together.
”Let's do it today, NOW!” Keira burst out.
”What?!” Zach exclaimed.
”You heard me… I said let's go now and get married,” Keira said with pouty lips, then she quickly got her phone and dialed her office.
”I am taking an emergency leave today! It's very urgent, so I will not be available the whole day!” said Keira before she ended up the call.
”Keira, what are you doing? We can wait. I want to make it perfect. Stop this insanity,” Zach stated as he pulled over to the side of the road.
Keira pouted her lips and said, ”It's already perfect as long as I'll be married to you. The formal ceremony can take place later since you want to complete that mission first. But right now, I want to become your wife. I don't think it's necessary to wait for any longer.”
”NO! I have to ask your parents for your hand formally!” Zach said firmly.
”Okay, let's wait some more. Then I am going to torture you every moment of this waiting. I will harass you every time you come home, and believe me, I mean every word,” Keira threatened.
She would really do that. She would torture Zach to the highest level and leave him with blue balls as punishment for dragging their marriage this long.
Zach did not respond, and Keira innocently smiled at him…
”My General, do I look desperate to you right now?” Keira asked with an arched eyebrow.
Zach was trying hard to suppress a burst of loud laughter.
”Hmm, you're not desperate. Maybe, just a bit shameless? I mean, who would do something like this, huh? Force a man into marrying her?” said Zach, who already started laughing.
”ME! I will do that! Anyway, let's go! Nevermind, drop me at the office instead!” hissed Keira with an indescribable irritation on her face.
Zach let out a long sigh. Then he started the engine and drove.

Then Keira noticed that Zach was driving the wrong way, so she raised an eyebrow and asked, ”This is not the way to my office?!”
Zach sighed and murmured, ”You said you want to get married! Then let's go to the civil registry office and get married now.”
Keira's eyes suddenly sparkled, as her lips curved up in a wicked smile.
She knew she was acting all cunning and sly, but she had to take the opportunity and not waste any more time.
