"Am still waiting for your answer Celine"Nick voice wafted through her thoughts and she came back down to earth.She still could not believe that Nick had just offered to pretend to be her boyfriend and was still waiting for her response."What's wrong Celine! Don't you want to do it anymore" Nick asked feeling a bit apprehensive "I.....yes I want to"Celine replied. Did she just agree to it!
