Novel & Cerita Pretendente Surpresa

Ian whispered in a hushed and reverent tone that I had never heard him use before today. "You and Bennett are faking the whole relationship?" he asked while his brown eyes stretched wide with undeniable disbelief. My lungs suddenly forgot how to pull oxygen into my chest and a cold sweat broke out across the back of my neck. "P-please do not say it so loud," I stuttered while my hands started shaking so hard that my knuckles rattled against the wooden tabletop. "Oh my god, you are actually hyperventilating," Quinn noted with a sudden edge of real concern leaking into their monotonous voice.

I exclaimed, pretending to be surprised, while Alex tried to suppress his laughter. Jasper glared down at our intertwined bodies, his jaw clenching with fury. He managed to regain his composure and put on a polite facade. "Yes, it's me," he said calmly, feigning ignorance of the uncomfortable situation as he greeted Alex. The sudden entrance of Julie into the room was elegant, and it caught us all by surprise. I glanced at Jasper and then at Alex, who was equally bewildered. Alex was stunned by Julie's unexpected appearance and stared at her in disbelief.

I stated, trying to act calm, “You could at least pretend to be cooler about it.” “I am cool,” I said, trying to sound more believable, but I clearly couldn’t fool her. “You’re clearly blushing.” “Shut up, I am not,” I refused, but my voice immediately betrayed me, as it turned high-pitched, making her grin. “You so are.” I just shook my head in disbelief, as I turned my attention back to the field before she could say anymore, and there he was. Focused, confident, and completely in his element.

“I just want to feel like I’m winning for once.” Thomas leaned back, watching her thoughtfully. Then, after a brief pause, he smirked. “Perhaps I should do something to put you in a better mood, then.” Kate raised a brow. “What do you mean?” Thomas swirled the whiskey in his glass before setting it down with a clink. “I think you deserve something special. A surprise.” Kate’s eyes flickered with intrigue. “A surprise?” Thomas nodded. “Something extravagant. A night where you don’t have to think about Serena, Ryan, or anything else that irritates you.”

**flash back** It was the day before my birthday, I was so excited because Alex was going to take me to a concert where akon would be preforming. I called up ma girl Kacie to accompany me to the mall to get a nice dress to wear tomorrow night on my birthday. Alex was my first boyfriend since I left college and I love him daring and would do anything for him. "Hey Kacie, can you come with me to the mall to get a nice dress for my birthday?" I asked happily

They said that a long look was a kiss without words, and that was exactly what it felt like. All through the celebration, Tiffany's gaze kept drifting back to me like she couldn't help it. I pretended not to notice and stayed focused on Janet, serving her food and keeping things close on purpose. Just like I expected, Tiffany got impatient before the night even ended. She grabbed my hand, trying to drag me out. I yanked my hand free and put on a surprised look. "What are you doing?" I moved back to Janet's side. "My fiancee's right here, so don't hang all over me like that in public."

"I have a surprise for you." Surprise?

"To look sexy?" I shook my head at Ben. "No, darling. The point of the day is to get married, not to look like I work for an escort service." I pointed to my belly. "Pregnant, remember?" "Yeah." Gaby said sarcastically at my left. "I still can't believe you kept it a secret from me for nearly two weeks!"

He paused, a sly grin spreading across his face. My mood lightened again. “Oh…. Okay. So….um what's the surprise?”. "The surprise is something special I planned for us today. Something I hope you will like.” I raised an eyebrow, my curiosity growing. "Tell me, what's the surprise, Baron? What if I don't like it?” " I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Baron's grin grew wider, and he leaned in close. "Let's just say it's something that will make our day unforgettable and I can bet my life that you are going to like it." he whispered, his breath tickling my ear. .
