Enemies

Chapter 9

We haven't spoken in the car. I was so in my thoughts that I didn't see we were in front of my building, until Kaden called for me. I looked at him and I didn't want to speak with him at the moment.

"Are you gonna tell me what was that? Why did he think I was your boyfriend?" I looked in front of me, I could feel his eyes on me, so I turned and took a deep breath.

"I wanted to make a deal with him, everything was going okay until he told me that he doesn't trust me as much because I don't have a family because I'm not as committed. I couldn't lose the deal so I just said I was in a serious relationship. Then he told me he will give me a chance if he meets my other half and thru the whole month he will test us and stupid things like that, and in one month on his annual ball he will announce whit who will he do buissnis. "

I finished talking and he just looked at me, not saying a word. I now, I got him in to this. What will I do now?

"Okay, are you in a relationship? "

"What, no.!" his lips went to a thin line, while he looked away. He is starting to annoy me.

"Look, Kaden it doesn't concern you, and I'm sorry for tonight but thank you neither the less."

I got out of the car and left to my apartment. What will I do now? I told Samuel that Kaden was my boyfriend. How will I explain that he isn't, I hate this. I only have two options, they are to ask Kaden to pretend to be my boyfriend for the next month, but if I do ask him, he will have to say yes because he owns me that much at least. Other option is to tell Samuel he is not my boyfriend. I don't know what to do but I can't lose this deal. If I do the word will go out about what I tryed to do, my reputation will go down. I will think in the morning about it. As they say morning is smarter then the night.

For the next couple days I was too occupied with work to think about anything really. We made new deals and if I may say the company is triving. It was Friday night and I knew I will have to go to Kaden and ask him to help me. I hate it so much but I have to do it. What if he says no. Well I will find out now, I was in front of his house door. I knocked at the door and waited, other for my doom or my salvation. He opened the door and I started dumbfounded from his beauty. His five o'clock shadow, his dark brown hair that on this dim light looked almost black, those glacier eyes that had a spark in them, his high cheekbones, jaw that could cut thru paper, my eyes trailed down to does perfect reddish lips, that questiond me how would they look when I kiss them again, broad shoulders and muscles that you can see, even under that T-shirt. I was brought back by him clearing his throat.

"You okay, sweetheart you need a tissue?"

"No, why would I need a tissue?"

"Because you have a little bit of drool there." he said trying to bitte back a smile.

"‘I would appreciate it if those were the final words you say on this topic!" he went to a side letting me pass inside, and closing the door behind him.

"So what brings you here?" he asked while going to the kitchen probably to take something to drink for us. I have to ask him but I don't know how. I'm just gonna do it just rip the bandage of.

"You know why I'm here. As much as I hate it I have to ask for your help for tomorrow. So will you play my boyfriend?" I finished while he gave me a glass of wine. He looked like he was thinking and then he said so simply

"No..."

I sterd at him. What did he say. No he will do it I don't care. I didn't notice he left the kitchen, so I hurried to follow him. He was sitting on the sofa. I came in front of him and puted my hand on my hips.

"Why not?!!" I asked clearly irritated.

"Because, no..." I swear to God I will kill him.

"I think the answer you are looking for is yes, Leyla I will do it."

"No it really isn't."

"Why not?"

"As I said before I don't want to."

"Look I know you don't have to do it but you own me that much at least Kaden. After everything that happened you can help me with this. We don't have to do anything just show up for the dinner and act like we actually like each other, and that's all. After I will figure something out."

He looked at me and then turned his head and looked at something different. He was thinking well that is good. I sat on his coffee table in front of him, and he gave me a look. Is this guy for real.

"Just give me an answer Kaden!"

"No.." what? What? This can't be happening. This imbecile, I hate him so much. I looked at him so disappointed.

"You know what I was the stupid one here for even thinking you would ever do something for someone else then yourself. I really hoped you changed a little bit since college, that you weren't the same arrogant, self-centered i***t who never cared for anybody, but once again you proved me wrong." I got up took my bag and left the apartment. I was so angry at him, I just wanted to murder him. I got in to my G-class G55 Mercedes Jeep and drove away. I was driving for quite some time trying to clear my head. When I did I went home I don't know what I will do for tomorrow but I will try and explain it the best way I can. I really hope I will never see that self-centered bastard ever again!

In the morning I sleept until noon. I usually don't sleep so long, but I guess I was just tired. The day went by me. And soon it was time to start getting ready for the dinner. At 6 I was ready to go I was supposed to be there at seven pm. I was wearing striples baby purple tight knee dress, that was hugging my every curve. It was coverd in lace and it screamed elegance, with a maching blaser over it that went to my knees as well and had a little lace embroidery on the shoulders, and of course I had to have some killer pumps. I was ready to go so I went to choose a car for tonight. When I got to my garage I was feeling for something fast so I optioned for my gold Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. I haven't driven it in so long so why not tonight. The engine roared to life and I was off. When I got there I was scared and nervous what will happen now. What if he kicks me out? I was so nervous,but I had to do it I went to the door and ringed them. Soon a beautiful women in her mid 40's opened the door. Samuel came behind her and they booth looked amazing. They smiled to me. Well here goes nothing.

"Leyla, darling you made it. Where is Kaden?"

"Kaden is..." well I'm dead now.
