Julian's POV." How did it go?" Aunt Margot's voice boomed in the dark."Just as you wanted it to go" I answered already preparing myself for what was coming next."Which is?" She asked in a high-pitched voice, her excitement already pouring out of her."She will be my date for tomorrow night's gala, as my girlfriend," I said in a bored tone taking off my suit jacket exhausted."You asked her to be your girlfriend?" She squealed her eyes shining.For a woman in her early sixties, she is just too energetic,"Yes, Aunt Margot I did. I saw what you saw in her tonight and this time I am actually willing to give a woman a chance but please don't get too excited just yet" I answered, swallowing hard as I lied to her. She can't know my motive, she will not only try to talk me out of it but she will also be highly disappointed and I don't want that."I knew she would be the one" She yelled excitedly high fiving herself like a little kid."Aunt Margot no getting overly excited, we are still w
Sienna's POV"Rule number two, Absolutely no kissing unless I approve it and I would only do so, if we really have to do it for an audience probably as proof or something but nothing more" I started, my heart beat picking up as he stared at me with a look I couldn't quite explain in his eyes."That's easy, Blake" He whispered but his eyes held something more, something I don't think I want to know."Three, no touching me unless there is an audience and I am sure you know how to touch a lady appropriately" I continued."Well in less than 24 hours we will officially be the couple of the town, and that technically makes you mine" He shrugged."You seem to be forgetting this is all supposed to be fake right" I rolled my eyes."You tell me""Four, No getting jealous, or all that overly possessive shit, if a guy tries to flirt with me, let him. Who knows I may just find the one for me in all of this" I joked watching his face for any reaction but sadly I didn't get it."Is that all Blake?
Sienna's POV"You cannot be serious" I chuckled shaking my head. Why would he even think of this?"I wish I wasn't" He murmured, his eyes watching me like I was some kind of entertainment and it didn't look like the good type."Why will you even suggest this? You don't know me and I definitely don't know you, this is totally absurd" I exclaimed folding my arms across my chest as I spoke." You are yet to state the actual problem here," He said smugly leaning further into the couch."Really, that is not a problem to you?" I questioned."Of course not, people who don't know themselves date all the time""That's totally different from what you are suggesting" I exclaimed throwing my hands at his outrageous suggestion."How so?" He asked staring at me like some child just trying to throw a tantrum."You said it is going to be fake right, nothing attached?" I confirmed."Yes, why? You want something more?" He taunted making me roll my eyes."You wish" I snickered, although sadly a part of
Sienna's POV"Julian Thorne?" I called out in surprise, unable to believe my ears."In flesh and blood, why do you seem so surprised?" He asked, staring at me like I was dirt under his shoe. I took in a deep breath and adjusted myself before speaking up again, " There must be a mix-up somewhere.""Are you sure about that?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at me like he was expecting me to understand what he meant."Positive. My mother couldn't have gotten you to be my date, no way," I answered, muttering the last part to myself."And why is that? I'm not up to your standard, or maybe not rich enough?" He replied, chuckling to himself as he took a seat. Quite the opposite."You must really be mistaken," I said, now picking offence over his tone."I am sure I am not," he responded proudly."If I remember clearly, you have a boyfriend, so please do you mind telling me why you are out here on a date with me?" He added before I could say anything, making air quotes with his fingers as he s
Julian's POV" I am not doing it, Aunt Margot," I adamantly refused as we walked into my home, it was already a few minutes past 5pm, and all I can think about now is a shower, dinner, and sleep but my beloved godmother has decided to be a thorn in my flesh. For the past two weeks, she has been going on and on about this girl she wanted me to meet. She wouldn't stop singing her praises and comparing her to Izzy, which is part of the reason I do not want to agree to do this; she shouldn't be comparing Izzy to anyone."I am not asking, Julian," She replied in a serious tone. Why wouldn't she just drop it?"You are trying to force a 32-year-old man to go on a date he isn't even interested in? A blind one at that," I stated, stopping in my tracks"Yes, that is exactly what I am doing, and he doesn't have an option," She responded with a knowing smile on her face, but her tone left no room for argument."You are 32 already, Julian. If you don't want a wife, I want one for you, and this is
Sienna's POV"Yes, this one, it would do the trick," Lila yelled excitedly as I flashed the dress I was holding in her face."Finally, I was this close to thinking you were losing your touch," I groaned, plopping down on the sofa in my room right beside her while we both stared at the dress I had placed on the bed."Remind me, how I let you take this dress that day," Lila spoke up, turning to look at me."Well, you asked me to tell you what i thought about the dress and I did, then you my loving best friend forever decided it would look better on me instead so you got the dress for me and got yourself another one" I said meekly batting my eyelashes at her, my little way of playing innocent."If I remember vividly, you watched me buy the gown for myself and then you stole it," she accused me, folding her hands across her chest."Lila," I gasped loudly, trying my best to stifle my laughter."You have no proof, besides we both know it fits me like a second skin, perks of having a body li
