"tita called me and asking if I'm really your girlfriend!"
" It's just a show as I told you" he answered and act like it's not a big deal..yeah I know its now a big deal for him but how about me?aishhh!
"And you didn't asked for my permission!..and to tell you ash, we are just bestfriend... what would tito say if he will know that your dating me?"- I uttered
" I did! And dad also know...it's not a big deal for them, believe me they are celebrating because I'm dating you..and don't worry joy, it's not really true hehe! They're forcing me to go to blind dates..Look!., like what you have said your my best friend, so you should help me...right?" -he answered
I was just reminded...last time he confront me about this...I didn't expect that he will really do it! goshhh! But it's hurt, the way he said that it's just a show..
"you remember now?" He added and gave a playful smile.
"tsss...how will my parents react if they know this..."- I said and sigh
"They will not know!"...
Ouch! So he will just used me!
"Remember, you owe me a favor so it's time for you to pay it back.." -he added
"Tsss..after what I have done when you broke up with your b***h girlfriend!"- I murmered
"Dont worry, you will- i mean 'we' will just act as a couple when we're in front of my parents, ONLY! got it?"…..- he said
"How I wish that my parents will not know this!" - I said
Ashton is my best friend since we are in kindergarten! Our parents are also partners in businesses...its been two years since we've both graduated from college and successfully passed the board exams...I am successfully working as a med tech in one of my dream hospital..while Ashton take over one of his family businesses and he is now a young famous CEO in 'A&DC company', one of the famous and biggest company in the Philippines since he studied business...thats why he is called young and famous billionaire man because he successfully make their company go big and made some branches in many countries.. maybe I'm lucky because I'm his bestfriend, the dream of many girls.
"heyyy Joy, whats with the long face?!" - Diana asked, my friend.
"dont bother me! I have something to do...by the way please gave this to nurse Lily...you can go now doc..." I said and gave her the papers
"tsss..you ungrateful friend...I'm just here to check you, your not in yourself this past few days" - she said in her anger tone
"I'm 'very' okay ma'am, look!., Im talking to you"
"Fine..go and have your lunch now...I'm going back, I have patients waiting for me.., lets have lunch together tomorrow "...-she said and walk outside
"Sure...bye!" I shouted before she close the door...
"She's inside" - I heard Diana said
After a second ago, the door opened... I was shocked, why is he here!
"What's the young billionaire doing here?" - I said and act like I'm busy...
"my parents want to have a dinner tonight, can you come?...I just made a promise to them earlier..I have no choice looks like they are not convinced that we're dating!"...- he explained
" And we're not!"...I answered directly..
"Are you angry? Look!., I thought we are in good terms last meeting since I explained already..."
" I'm not angry! And we're not in good terms! I didn't allowed you to do that and you just did!"
"I have no choice, i can't say any name..they will not believe me if I just brag a random name..atleast I'm assured if it's your name..." He said and sit in front of me
Tsss! How dare him!
"I'm not going! I'm busy and I have no time" - I said in a serious tone
"Please joy..just pretend to be my girlfriend for now... It's just an ordinary dinner like we always do..it's not even your first time!"- he said and he look at my eyes directly...
Silence....
"It's not that easy you know! Your parents meeting me now as your so called girlfriend.."
"It's a fake girlfriend joy!" this brat, is he even my friend? He didn't even care about how I feel!...."its not that big favor joy..look!, if I will have a girlfriend, I will never disturb you...so please..."-he said as he's joking... I know that he don't want to see anyone right now because of his past relationships..and I understands his parents why they force him to go to blindates... For him to move on about his past. Nobody knows how much he suffered about his past.. thankfully he stayed okay up until now .... thankfully he listen to me sometimes...I hope he will never experience that again.
"Yeah..it's not a big deal for you but how about me?"
"I'm sorry if you feel that I'm using you...don't worry you can go to your work now....I'll go now,I have something to do....see you when I see you." He sadly said..aishh this drama king!..
He stand up and walk in front of the door...
" What time and where?" I asked and control myself not to look at him.
He walk towards me and our eyes met when I raise my head....
"Thank you Joy.. I know that you can't resist me...don't worry I'll pick you up later...."he said and smile then pat my head...
He always did this!tssss
"You should find a real girlfriend after this!"- I said and I want to take back what I have said!
"Yes ma'am!I'm going now..see you later, honey" - he answered and a give me a weird smile and leave like he always do
"Honey?!",,, I shouted before he open the door.."yahhhh!! Ashton! your really overacting now!" I added
" Of course honey...im just practicing so that I will be ready when I found my wife!" he just walk away and gave me wave...
" Yahhhhh! I'm not going!" I angerly said
" I'll pick you up later..be ready!,, 'honey'"...he said in a teasing tone. Aishhhh this brat, why am I always the loser! And close the door
"Ahhhhhhh!"...how dare him? He is just making me a practice thing, like using me and pretend to be his girlfriend, whats wrong with that man!
I sat in my swivel chair... thinking of what I should do! Both in my work and that jerk!
Until I didn't realize that I fall asleep....I opened my eyes when I feel someone is patting my head...
He directly look at me! Whats he's doing here again! Am I dreaming? I said in my thoughts and pinch his hand!
"Ouch!"
"What are you doing here, I thought I was dreaming.. your so annoying, you are everywhere!" - I explained
He bend towards me and I sit properly and was shocked by what he is doing!...??? Our face are very closed to each other and my heart is beating so fast like crazy!
"Let's go honey, my parents are waiting for us.." he whispered and gave me a smirk....
I suddenly stood up causing our forehead hit!
"ouch!"..I said in an anger tone
"sorry, I should have wake up you properly..." He said and massage my forehead..." Are we goods now?, let's go or we will be late."- he added
"oh..what time is it now?."I said and pick up my phone..." Look, Im in my uniform i didn't have time to change"...
" Why did you call?" I added when I noticed that I have 4 missed calls from him ...
" And I'm that 'Bastard Jerk Ash'?...." he seriously asked when he saw my phone..oopss sorry..your really a devil, you know....
"Well let's go or we will be late like what you have said!" - I change the topic and walk first
"Heyyy Joy! You should answer me first!"...he said and walk faster and we were walking together.....
"Don't asked if it's obvious" I said and go to my locker..,, " don't come, I'm going to change!" I added and close the door..
When I'm done changing I opened the door and saw him waiting patiently outside...I opened my phone and it's already 7:00 pm.
"Let's go....or we will really going to be late!...I said and he followed me
He open the door for me and when I'm inside the car, I put my seatbelt ..
