Pretend Girlfriend
As I am about to speak, I hear a voice I recognise behind me.
“Aimee, I don’t know you guys covered hospital news now”, Kyle says, and I roll my eyes and turn around looking at him.
“Hi Kyle, I’m not here for work”, I say, and he frowns as I turn my attention back to the secretary.
“I am his son's girlfriend”, I say, crossing all the fingers and toes that I can, hoping that she will believe my lie. Well, technically it’s not a lie, or is it? What are we? We are not even engaged yet, “I’m a friend of the family”, I say straight after, and she frowns, asking my name again.
