Fake Fiancée…(18+)… by jameshood: 6:31am On May 10, 2019 |
FAKE FIANCÉE…(18+)…Part 1 . Steve cheerfully started explaining. “Calm down, your face dropped a hundred storeys. It’s not going to be real. Just real to the rest of the world. We’ll hire a girl to become your fiancée -” “Jessica Alba!” I immediately exclaimed. Yes, she was every man’s dream. She was tantalizingly exotic and had always been on my top list of hottest women, no matter how old she was. “She’s taken you idiot! And she has a kid! Anyway, not someone famous. Someone who is not like Lindsey Lohan, someone sweet, who the press will like.” “That sounds incredibly boring,” I remarked with a frown. Sweet? Why would you want sweet when you could have sexy? “Why that type of girl?!” Steve looked at me like I was an idiot. In his mind, I probably was. “Well, everyone will think you’re serious about relationships since you’ve finally settled down and not with someone who’s just rich and hot.” “Everyone will think otherwise when it ends,” I pointed out. He obviously hadn’t thought of everything, so I felt quite proud of myself for pointing out that little flaw in his grand plan. If this was to be a fake engagement, it would have to end sometime right? And the press would think I was a player for leaving the girl again. Steve shook his head. Ok … so maybe he had thought of everything. “The break up will be seen like this: your fiancée realises she can’t marry you after all because dating someone famous won’t allow her to lead a normal life and have her dream job, which would be something smart, such as a doctor. It will make you look like a good guy, because you did nothing wrong … and oh! I have just the right person!” My frown deepened. I didn’t think Steve’s perspective of the ‘right person’ was the same as mine, which s—-d. This was going to be bad. “But we haven’t even interviewed anyone.” “We don’t need to interview anyone! My niece is perfect! I don’t know if she’ll agree but I think she would, if I offer to cover her college fees. I know it’s her biggest wish to go to Harvard. She’ll get in too; she’s so smart.” I was about to scoff, “She can’t even afford college?!” but Steve had disappeared – probably to ring up his poor niece. Cadillac, Michigan. Dusk soon settled over my bedroom, making me sigh with relief. Now I wouldn’t have to stay up to finish my college applications. Smiling proudly at the small stack finished applications on my study desk, I decided to head downstairs to grab myself some orange juice to celebrate. As I passed the lounge room, my eyes strayed to the two people on the sofa: my mother and one of her gorgeous dates. God, how public could she get? I cleared my throat loudly as I walked past them. As I poured juice for myself in the kitchen, I heard a deep voice. “I’ll see you tonight, Hazel?” I heard my mother giggle girlishly. I could even imagine her twirling a lock of her blonde curls. “Oh yes!” I rolled my eyes. My mother is, as one would say … promiscuous. I hated acknowledging that, but it was the truth. I felt like strangling her most of the time because she was like that. Usually mothers were kind and protective and baked cookies for you when you came back from school. Not my mother. I was basically stuck with a teenage girl. “Lainie, make dinner will you? I’m starving.” “Yeah,” I muttered. See what I meant? It felt like I was the mother sometimes. I took out the leftover lasagne and watched as my mother laid on the couch and put a dainty hand to her forehead. Her dirty blonde curls fell around her slim shoulders as she closed her eyes. She was undeniably beautiful, but it didn’t negate the fact that she was selfish. Meanwhile, I was her total opposite: a brunette with brown eyes and olive skin. In comparison, my father had been a generous and loving doctor. There was one time when my parents had been in love, but not now. Not ever since he died. The ring of the phone interrupted my train of thought and I picked it up. “Hello?” I said breezily. “Lainie! Is that you? Wow, you sound old!” I laughed happily as I recognised the familiar voice. My uncle, Steve, who I haven’t seen for years was calling me while I waited for the lasagne to cook! Living the high-life as a publicist and manager to various celebrities in Los Angeles meant that he couldn’t afford to visit us all the time, so whenever the chance to see him popped up, I took it – anything to get away from my mother. “Hi Steve! Yes, it is me and I’m pretty sure I still sound the same.” He chuckled. “How’s my older sister, hey? Is she behaving?” “You know mom never behaves,” I murmured with a frown. I wish she did though, because life would be so much better that way. I could invite friends over to our house without being embarrassed, I wouldn’t have to work so much in order to support the both of us … “Touché,” Steve replied in a crisp tone. “Well anyway, the reason I’ve called is because I have a proposition for you.” I tensed automatically. Well, that didn’t sound good. Since when did uncles make propositions for you? “Proposition?” I asked. “Yes, it’s a big one but I hope you will agree to it.” I nodded cautiously and twiddled a lock of my hair around my free hand. “Ok, I’m listening …” “I’ll get to the point. You know how I’m Henry Parker’s manager? Yes well, at the moment his reputation is in shambles, so I’ve been thinking … a short-term fake engagement will help boost his image. A girl who isn’t famous, who’s sweet and smart and not ‘Hollywood fake’ if you know what I mean.” “I get it,” I said, a grin lighting up my face. “You want me to think of someone?” Steve laughed. “No, I’ve already thought of someone. You.” “Me?” I squeaked. Why would he pick me?! How in the world did he think I was sweet? “Before you say no, I’m prepared to cover your fees for college if you agree to this. Your stay in LA will be covered by me,” Steve quickly added. I gasped. I had a really good chance of getting into an Ivy League and studying architecture and now Steve was planning to pay for my fees. Could life get any weirder? Or better, the devilish voice in my head whispered. “How long would I have to do it?” I asked in a whisper. “About three or four months?” I thought carefully and bit my lip in the process. Three or four months pretending to be Henry’s fake fiancée wouldn’t be too bad, I guess. I’ve heard of him, but I had no idea what he looked like and what his personality was like. If I wanted to get into my dream college, I would have to make some sort of sacrifice right? But this was a big sacrifice. Could I do it? Was I ready to be thrown into the world of the rich and famous? I could feel my thoughts running in circles, giving me a headache. I rubbed my temples and thought about my situation now. I had money and that was only my savings from working as a waitress for two years. I didn’t have much. Then there was the small amount of money my father had left me. It was a lot to me but it didn’t cover all the years I’d spend studying. My mother used her pay checks from work on brand new clothing and fancy dinners with her handsome dates, so she wasn’t useful. With a frown I realised I was quite poor. Hah! I really, really needed the money for college funds but agreeing to Steve’s proposition seemed a bit drastic. But I could handle it right? Just a fake relationship. Fake. I would have to act like I liked the guy for a few months and then I would be able to go to college, finish my Master’s degree in Harvard and finally have a place of my own. I would in no way be tied to my mother. A smile blossomed on my face. I could do it – a short term sacrifice for long- term freedom. “Count me in Steve.” .
