Official Contract Signing (Conner/Ashley)

Conner was in his hotel suite waiting for Ashley to come up so they could work over the details of their upcoming wedding and marriage. This way everyone was happy, except their own families, which was the general idea. He grabbed the papers for them both to sign and also had the small velvet box with the engagement ring in it, ready to go.

Ashley arrived at Conner's hotel room and knocked as she waited patiently. She was very intrigued on just what the contract had on it.

He opened the door and smiled a little. "Hey, come in." he said, moving aside for her before moving to the table in the room. "Have a seat."

Ashley walked in and then sat down.

"Okay, so contract?"

He nodded. "But first...here." he said, pushing the little green Tiffany's box towards her. "You said you wanted a huge diamond so..."

"Oh my gosh Conner..." she said as her eyes widened and she looked at the ring. "I didn't think you would actually do it. It's beautiful, but I feel horrible. This isn't even really a real wedding."

"So do you wanna do this or not?" he asked crossing his arms. "Is it gonna bother you that badly?"

"No, no. I'm fine. Let's do it." she said putting the ring on.

HE nodded, getting the papers out. "alright...let's look over the stipulations." he said, giving her a copy.

"Number 1...there will only be forms of PDA when necessary, like when we have to prove we love each other and shit to the families...IE hand holding, lovey dovey talk, all that BS." he rolled his eyes.

"Number 2...this will be an open marriage. You can see and sleep with other guys and I can do the same with other girls. The only thing about this rule is, we can't bring the said girls and guys back to our place. Keep that at hotels or their places." he explained.

"Number 3...it is perfectly acceptable for the two of us to have sex since we've already reached that level of comfort." he smirked.

"Number 4...this...between us, is a secret. You CANNOT tell ANYONE that we're having a fake marriage. same for me...if either of us blows this secret, the contract and marriage is off and divorce will come immediately." he said seriously.

"Number 5...while we don't have to and most likely won't really celebrate holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries, we are required to get each other gifts in order to help keep the charade going." he shrugged.

"Does that all sound good to you? I left some space if you wanted to add a rule or two...and I wasn't sure about how long you wanted to stay married before we got divorced or whatever...and it goes without saying but...don't fall in love with me."

"So for number one, I can call you snuckums and my little pookie?" she smirked.

Ashley looked over the contract, re-reading everything.

"Contract is fine. Don't fall in love with you and don't fall in love with me. Also, any mention of baby talk, just say we're trying or whatever. It'll get my aunt off my case about kids." she said rolling her eyes.

He glared at her. "Alright, princess...muffin...baby doll. Or should I call you hot mama since you are older then me?" he smirked. then he heard about the baby thing. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that one...good thinking." he said, adding that one in at the bottom.

"Okay...ready to sign?"

"Sure thing pookie." she smirked.

He rolled his eyes as he signed his name at the bottom. "And I'll keep this safe and secure so that if any of these rules are broken...the marriage is off."

"Alright. I know I'll be fine with all these rules."

He nodded. "I guess...now we better start planning the wedding..." he said softly. "Wow...this feels...weird."

"it's really weird." she nodded. "Um, how soon should we get married?"

"I guess...the sooner the better so we can get it over with." he shrugged. "Do we wanna do somethign big? Go all the way with this thing?"

"Should we? I mean it'll be a waste of money since it's not going to mean much to us."

He shrugged. "I don't care either way...wanna just go to the courthouse then?"

"We can do that."

"Then that's settled...just wear a simple dress and I'll dress up a little more...umm...what about the living situation?"

"Oh crap yeah. Well I mean, I guess if you want, I can move into your place. I can sleep on the couch or guest bedroom, but if anyone decides to crash with us one night, then we'd have to sleep on the same bed."

"You can sleep in one of the guest rooms, except like you said, if we have guests or if it's one of those nights we do decide to have relations." he smirked a bit. "But...now this is up to you...did you wanna move all your stuff in my place...I mean...our place? Or did you wanna hang on to your place still?" he asked.

"I'll keep my place. I'll just rent it out until the marriage is done. I mean, I need a place to go when this is all over. I will just move in with some of my things, like clothes, personal items and whatnot."

He nodded. "And we can tell everyone that we have the second place as sort of a vacation spot or something since you live East Coast and I live West Coast...or something like that."
