Elena’s POVYou do know that you are very beautiful right? Betty asked as soon as we got to our table with our food tray well balanced on our hands. Though feeling sad and completely bothered, i let a small smile appear on my lips as we sat down. Really? I asked in forged excitement, and Betty nodded with a broad smile that displayed almost all her teeth set. Yes. When I saw you enter this morning, I couldn’t help but stare stupidly at you. Your beauty is very captivating. She said, and I just didn’t know how to reply them without sounding all cheezy. You have this rare ability which makes you stand out among all others. Maxwell chipped in as he took the next available seat, right beside Betty. Right. Because I managed to fall and spill hot coffee on my boss now makes me practically able to stand out among others. I said with a note of sarcasm that didn’t go unnoticed by them of course, because he narrowed his eyes at me. I never meant it like that. He said calmly, and I

Elena's POV I felt someone tapping me and I groaned. Let me sleep Amelia please, my ass of a boss made me work so much and now I am so tired. I wanted to go see mother today, but he refused to let me go. I groaned, and surprisingly she stopped tapping me. Happy that for the first time, she listened to me and left me to sleep, I smuggled closer to my pillow, holding it as though my life depended on it. My pillow smelt nice, it smelled expensive and masculine. Unlike other pillows, this one was a bit too strong for a normal pillow, but surprisingly I felt so comfortable lying on this particular pillow. Slowly, my eyes opened, and I found myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. The roof was dark and car like. No, I have to be dreaming. Am in a car or something? Unwilling to sit up yet, I let my eyes sweep the environment, until they settled on him….Ahhhh… I screamed and quickly sat up, moving as far away from him as possible. He was there staring down on my face with an u

Vincent’s POVI watched her run off and I felt a little discomforting thud in my chest, and I sighed deeply. I watched her quietly until she was in the safe hands of her house, and that was when I turned to Duello whose eyes were fixed on me from the rear- view mirror. Let’s go to the base! I told him, and he nodded and resumed driving. His face I realized held a full look of confusion, and though knowing fully well the reason for that, I didn’t feel entitled to ask or explain anything to him. I was already feeling low spirited, and I wasn’t sure if it was a result of the fact Elena running out of the car crying or because of the terrible news I Just received. When she defended me before my dad, I had felt a rush of warmth run through me for that single action of hers, and seeing her relate so well with my mother brought so many emotions I haven’t felt for a long time rushing back into me. I knew I was being selfish for having to force her to pretend to be my girlfriend in

Narrator’s POVIt felt like another terrible dream for her, waking up back into reality, she didn’t know what to take for her terrible flashback. “Fuck, it is happening again”. She muttered as she held unto her head in pain, and she groaned in discomfort. She had returned home from an outing with her boss, and falling into a deep slumber, she didn’t realize on time that she was dreaming about her past to the extent that she was becoming confused yet again. Vincent had promised to take care of her mother’s surgery, and also pay her a huge amount of money only for her to pretend to be his girlfriend for 3 months. It all felt too good to be true, and she began to doubt the possibility that it was all true. Just as she was about to move out of the bed, a text entered her phone, and picking it up, she saw the name of the sender, and a little smile came to her lips. A flashback from when they were back at the car came rushing back into her head, and she bit her lower lip trying to preve

Elena's POVHe crashed his lips on mine, and I stood there frozen, and unable to move. It all felt like a dream, but I had to live in the moment anyway. Suddenly, I got carried away with the kiss, and began to kiss him back as though his lips were made of honey, and something began to build at the depth of my stomach. When he broke the kiss, I became a breathing mess. I suddenly became too shy to look into his eyes. You look beautiful darling. He said as soon as we broke the kiss, and I kept hiding my flushed up face. I turned in time to see Amelia staring at us, and that was when I remembered that I had dragged her out to introduce her to my boss and fake boyfriend, and suddenly I realized how stupid the whole idea was. Um, baby, this is my best friend Amelia, Amelia meet my boyfriend. I managed with a forced smile, which the both mirrored immediately. Hi Amelia, it’s nice to meet you. I am Vincent, your friend’s boyfriend. He said stretching forth a hand for a handshake, with
