All Chapters of Fake Dating The Playboy: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Part One- Aaron The burning sensation didn't leave my throat as I brushed my teeth, looking into the mirror. What I was met with was a paler version of myself, hair matted down slightly from having just emptied out the contents of my stomach into the toilet. The urge to vomit had just sprung up all of a sudden; yesterday I had been just fine, attending work without any issue or strain. I had come back from that Friday evening, looking forward to finally seeing everyone. It had been a while since we had all met up, even seeing Aaron had been difficult and we lived in the same house. So, we had all planned to spend the Saturday together and have a move night at our house. Well, that was was going to happen until I excused myself when I had felt the violent churning of my stomach, leaving Aaron to select a movie before everyone arrived. "Just breathe." I whispered shakily, trying to fight the urge to vomit as I placed my toothbrush in the pot. If everyone was to be coning over af

Part Two- Justin "If you cover me with another blanket, I think you'll have to call a search and rescue party to find me." I joked, watching as he threw the quilt over me and he pursed his lips at this, turning to me with concerned eyes. "I'm just worried, Lexi." Was all he said and I knew that it wasn't the time to joke, not for Aaron, anyway. Despite it being just a minor illness, for him it was anything but. He lost his own mother to an illness and- at one time- he had almost lost me too for the same reason. Regardless of illnesses, his father had left him too as did Avalon. All these experienced had shaped his mind, giving rise to a growing fear that it was only normal for people to leave. For him, it was almost habitual for everyone to exit his life; he had disclosed this very information to me, early on in our relationship. He felt as though he was ill-fated, destined to eventually live alone. It was due to knowing all this about him that all the humour in me died and I

And if I do touch him?" His heart thudded loudly as she spoke the foreign words. His haughty pretense fell away then as he reached for her, needing her touch to know she was still within his reach. She let out an all familiar gasp as his body touched against hers: a gasp that did wondrous things to his heart. "Don't test me, Lexi." He couldn't even look at her or else she'd catch all the emotions he was feeling. He wasn't threatening her; he was pleading. If she wanted, he'd get on his knees and beg her to be all his. He'd do it without hesitation or embarrassment. He felt the warmth of her finger as she raised his face to look at him. The look in her eyes scared him in ways he couldn't explain. "Well, consider yourself already tested, Aaron." Was all she said but it was enough to rip his heart in half. All he could do was wait for her to clarify and then she smirked in a way he didn't recognise. 'Elliot and I have already kissed." **************** Silence. It was all

His hand lifted instinctively, stroking against her cheek before moving down to her jaw and then collar bone. He couldn't help it as he looked down, mesmerised by her entire being. Her small and fragile being. Before he could control it, he ducked his head near her ear, his voice raw and husky as he spoke. "Let me show you that I care." It was silent for a moment wherein he could only hear the sounds of his heavy panting: a sign of his unruly desperation. His desperation to have her in his arms and hold her; to envelop her lips in his own. The urge was so strong now that he his fists were clenched by his side as he waited for her response. She stared at him wide-eyed for a moment longer before her mouth opened, her voice breaking the terse silence. "What?" She breathed; her mouth agape. It wasn't the response he was hoping for but, still, he wouldn't back down now. He couldn't find it in him to so, instead he moved closer; his lips a fraction away from hers. He couldn't help

He could feel her eyes on him and, he didn't know why, but it unnerved him. It wasn't like he wasn't used to stares. He had learnt to make a habit of it throughout the course of school. If anything, he reveled in it. It provided as a distraction to what had become his mundane life. Yet, with Lexi looking at him, he didn't know quite what to feel but unnerved. "Are you done?" Lexi's voice broke him out of his thoughts and he looked up to her incredulous expression, smiling innocently at her as he took a sip from his drink. She only rolled her eyes at this turning to her bag. He spared a look to Lexi's tray where her first meal was still half-finished and he knew then why his appetite had surprised her. A small part of him, when he saw her frail form, wanted to push her to eat another meal, but he suppressed the urge. He didn't know her yet; wasn't aware of her nature and, so, didn't know what would offend her. So, he had left her be with what she had eaten. Again, Lexi pulled h
