Waiting for Asher in the restaurant he sent to me for the past thirty minutes and he isn’t here when he asked to meet me and he keeps me waiting the audacity of that man. He walks through the door feeling like a celebrity
“What took you so long? You were supposed to be waiting for me not the other way around” I asked had enough of him today
“Well I wanted to look my best for you, all this doesn’t just happen” gesturing to himself.
“Whatever now why did you call me here?”
“Like I said I have a way of both of us getting the deal” he said
“How explain better”
“I found out from my source that Mr. Wilson’s decisions and investments are highly influenced by his wife and she is a die-hard romantic, loves incredible love stories so if we can pretend to be a couple and you get closer to her and get her to convince him to invest because she is currently pregnant and that’s why he cares so much for a family oriented project comes from.
“So I was thinking we come together to create that and get the deal which is beneficial to both of us. So what do you think?
“How legit is your source and I can’t date you” I questioned him
“this information is coming from an insider and we won’t be really dating just pretending in front of people and remember his anniversary is told I got Mr. miller to get us invitations to the party so we can start the plan now the quicker we move the faster I don’t have to around you much”
“Ok when we get the deal how are we going to explain our immediate break up.”
“We will worry about that first let’s get that deal so are you in?”
“Ok fine, I can’t believe I have to pretend I like you holding me wait! Do we have to kiss each other? No I am not letting that happen” I argued can’t imagine that happen
“We might not need to do all that but if an occasion arises you have to take one for the team and deal”
“You are loving this aren’t you, getting to fulfill your dirty desires”
“Hmmm maybe” he admitted, with no shame what’s so ever.
“You… you… you dirty minded pervert, how can you be so shameless?” got up to leave
“Whoa where are you going?” holding on to my hand to stop me
“We are done with our conversation so there’s nothing keeping me here” I explained
“Yes but why don’t you stay for lunch you must be hungry”
“Hmm you are offering me lunch seems suspicious”
“Come on just a simple lunch nothing to it, not everything is has to be a struggle between us”
“Ok this one time because I am really hungry haven’t eaten since morning” seating back down to order.
Lunch with Asher was that bad but I will never tell him that, he said he will pick me up for the party I’m already dress in a backless black dress and silver shoes waiting for his text, he better not make me wait like earlier. He texted he was waiting for me outside. Took my purse and headed out to his car
“You look beautiful tonight, he commented holding the door of the car for me.
“So do you” I responded
“I am a guy how I can look beautiful” he said closing the door and walking around getting into the driver’s seat
“I meant you look good too i***t”
“Oh ok then thank you” rolled my eyes at him looking out the window as he starts the car
Humming to the music playing when I felt him take my hand. “What are you doing?
“Driving what else?”
“Why are you holding my hand?”
“practicing don’t forget we are going there to pretend that we are a couple so we have to do get to touching each other to act the part well’ he stated putting out his hand for me.
“Oh yes, but when we get there don’t be too touchy” putting my hand back in his
We were silent for the rest of the ride still holding hands with him caressing the back of my palm which is really soothing my nerves as we arrived at the venue. Waiting for him to open the door for me so we can go in
The decorations for the party screamed Mr. Wilson truly loved his wife now I believe what Asher said, was still skeptical but this just answered my question. People stared at us as we walked through the party shocked to see us here together, greeted people along the way as we made our way to the couple of the day
“Mr. Wilson we meet again happy anniversary”
“Asher you are here with Chloe, I didn’t know you guys are friends
“We are more than friends, she my fiance” he said shocking me. Squeezing his hands trying to get his attention because this wasn’t part of the plan.
“Really I would have never guessed it, when we met earlier you guys didn’t act like it”
“Well we like to keep our professional life separate from our private life” he explained
“Wow you guys are good at doing that, sorry let me introduce you to my wife. Maria come over here come meet another one of guest” he called out to a blond woman who was heavily pregnant approached us.
“Honey these are my business associates chole and Asher, this is my wife Maria” he said rapping his arm around her.
“Oh nice to meet you how are you enjoying the party”
“We are having a good time, I see you are pregnant how far along are you? I asked
“I am currently in my eighth month, I feel like a whale” she joked
“So are you two together?”
“Yes she’s my fiance” he acknowledge looking into my eyes
“Awn so cute, so when is the wedding? She asked. I began to panic
“We haven’t really chosen the date but in a months’ time” Asher answered. He’s a fantastic liar because how does he come up with such quick replied when this wasn’t part of the plan I will have to talk to him later after the party.
“oh that’s lovely” she beamed
“why don’t you two ladies go along and talk why I discuss something with Asher” Mr. Wilson suggested
“I am not really….
“that will be great” he said cutting me off “go on chloe we won’t talk for long and I will be back at your side in a few minutes”
“awn can’t bare to be apart so cute but let’s go chloe” she said dragging along with her leaving the men behind.
“so tell me how did you guys meet”
“two years ago at an event. I was having a drink when he walked up to me telling the worst jokes ever which made me laugh, he wanted to go out but I rejected him at first which took him a lot of convincing to do before I agreed and the rest is history” I explained trying to make the story magical as possible for her
“awn you guys are so in love, I could feel the tension between you two. The bedroom must be really exciting” wiggling at brows at me causing me to cough avoiding the question.
“so how are you preparing for the baby?”
“we just finished the nursery, here take a look”pulling out her phone to show me the pictures
“wow so pretty you are expecting a girl”
“yeah just wait till you get pregnant, you will love it. It’s so nice to have someone to talk to I don’t really have friends and the wifes of henry’s friends are so snobbish and rude but you are different”
