All Chapters of THE CONTRACTUAL GIRLFRIEND: FAKE DATING MY EX FAVORITE PLAYE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Maren's pov The days kept counting and the dinner where I and Gideon were supposed to stage a kiss was closer and thinking about just made stomach flutters.The way he treated me was far better than when we first met, he was nice and good. Under that rude, arrogant playboy goalie exterior there is more to him.I sat up from the child pose when the yoga instructor told us to stop. Rylee sighed beside me, “Yoga is so reviving” she said.“Yeah…” I replied not wanting her to feel I was feeling sad or something. She had dragged me to her yoga class claiming it would help me relax my brain and mind. It does relax me and I enjoy being with these lovely women. They are sweet to me, I don't know if it was because they recognize me as Gideon's girlfriend or they are just being nice.Usually before I stayed playing girlfriend for Gideon I made sure to blend into the background not bring too much attention to myself. I have also been comfortable with that until Gideon. Everything was a social e

Maren's pov “We are here.” Gideon announced, my heart sanked. And suddenly I am sweaty. “Relax,” Gideon started. I nodded, “Breath in and out.” he said calmly. “Thank you” I said softly. “Now here's the plan” Gideon turned to me. “I just want you to be yourself, relax and act like this normal and it is real. I won't kiss you until when we finish the dinner” He explained. “Okay” “I won't kiss you, we will just make it look like it and that when we walked back to car. I will alert you just followed my lead.” “Oh” that is all I could let out. ‘You are definitely not his type, he doesn't even to kiss you’ my sub consciousness mocked me. I guess I was just being nervous for nothing. And for the second time a man who I am close to isn't interested in me. Only this time I was quick to know. “What do you think?” Gideon asked as he started to remove his seat belt. “Yeah…yeah wonderful plan.” I nodded, agree. “That is actually nice” I lied and chuckled. “Okay? You haven't remove

Maren's pov “People are really eating up pictures of you and your fake boyfriend,” Rylee said, as she scrolled through phone. “This picture looks hot, you were glamorous.” Rylee stepped closer to me and showed me the picture.I smiled as I continued to put the plates into a carton. Gideon and Jaxon are coming over to help with painting and we are doing some diy for my apartment.Even after trying to get the kiss out of my mind, I can't stop thinking about it. Why did he kiss me? To him the kiss was nothing but to me he is the second man to kiss me and he would definitely forget about it soon.And for me it will be etched in my brain forever.It was nice that he apologized, at least he respected me enough to apologise.“Ah, let me help with that,” Rylee said, when I tried to lift up the carton. We both lifted it in the small storage room which is already cramped already.We both grunted as we dropped it before bursting into laughter when we realized we were sweating.“I felt my spi

Maren’s pov. I and Gideon walked out of the kitchen and Rylee and Jaxon had got over their argument. “Come over here, guys. I need to take a picture of you both.” Rylee called us over, to a wall. “The two of you will post it on your gram.” “Okay” I mumbled as I stood next to Gideon. “You guys shouldn't just stand there. Act like a couple”. Rylee said, using her hands to demonstrate to us to stand closer. Gideon stepped close and put his arm around me to pulled closer. Rylee takes a picture but she doesn't seem to like it. “This look awkward, you guys have to do better” She complained. I was about to tell her maybe we don't need to take pictures but I felt a cold substance smear on my face followed by the smell of paint. My hands touched my face and it was a green paint, “Oh my God, Gideon!” Gideon shrugged and smiled, I reached for a bucket of paint and dipped my hands inside them. I tried to put the paint on his face but I couldn't reach him as he stepped back laughing. “Y

Maren's pov. My phone beeped, I dropped the roller brush into the paint bucket and fetched my phone out of my overall pocket. I tapped on the notification which is Gideon's text message, I walked towards my kitchen to take a drink. It was a reply to my text messages when I asked him what time his game will start on Thursday. We haven't talked a lot since the day I told him about the art curator. GIDEON Are you thinking of coming on Thursday, please you should come on Wednesday and I promised you would return to Seattle on Thursday. I laughed at his text, I opened the fridge and took out a bottle. ME. Okay, you caught me. I will come on Wednesday but I have to leave on Thursday. That means I won't be celebrating with you and your teammates I sent it as soon as I typed finished, a notification entered but I swiped it and waited for Gideon's reply. He replied almost immediately. GIDEON That is fine, I will let the guys know. You want to eat out with me today? ME Are yo
