The Wedding Planner. (Lee Pace Fanfic)(ON HOLD)

Chapter 7

        Celine: Charlie! Lee went after you. Come home safely. 

Celine sent a text to me. Lee took me to this fast food diner while Landon asked both of us to join him at dinner tomorrow night. I clutched my head in frustration as the waitress put the cup of coffee in front of me and Lee. "So basically, you paid to date this guy before. He ruined your reputation and now, you don't want to hurt him?" Lee asked if everything he was saying was correct. "Yeah, but the reason why I told him I was married is because I didn't want to seem pathetic. He knew that I couldn't date a guy to save my life and he thought that maybe this was his chance. I just wanted to prove that I could get a guy... without paying him." I said all too sadly as I stared at my shadow reflection in my coffee.

I heard Lee sighed as he grabbed my hands which made my cheeks heat up just by the mere touch of his skin. "Charlie... You can get a man. You are a wonderful woman who is dedicated to her job as of Celine's stories you love your job as if you were married to it. You love knowing the story behind every couple that gets married. You are the most hardworking and talented woman I have ever met," He tried cheering me up but was he suppose to say that to my sister? I feel like the villain every time I am near Lee. "Lee... this is getting awkward. You're flirting with me even though you're my sister's fiancee. This isn't professional." I said. I'm Professional!!!

Lee shrugged his shoulders as he said "I don't see anything wrong here. All I see is: two people teasing each other... Besides you're the one who dragged me in this mess and called me your fiancee." he had a point. "Just please don't tell my sister about this." I begged. Lee smiled as he kindly said "My lips are sealed."

        The next night came too quickly. The other night me and Lee went home and my sister was bombarding me with questions, and acting all concerned. Stella knew very well what happened because as I told her she was shouting and screaming like a school girl. But that dreadful but most anticipated night came and I was wearing one of my work dresses that was color orange. I met up with Lee at the restaurant 4 hours before meeting with Landon because we were gonna talk about stuff in case Landon asks us some questions but as I arrived, Lee shook his head as he said "This won't do."

but I was too distracted by him wearing a suit, his hair combed back. He looked sexy.

"What? You promised that you would go with it!" I complained that he was backing out of my messed up plan. "No, not that! I meant your dress." he pointed at my orange dress that didn't match my silver heels along with my black bag. "So?" I asked not caring. Although I should. "You're my fiancee," I swear to God that my spirit just flew right out of my body, "so you have to look the part." he then grabbed my hand and started dragging me. "Where are we going?" I asked "To get you a new look." he said and I knew that I was dead meat.

A few minutes later I was in a dress shop trying on various of dresses, "What if Landon asks what's our theme song?" I asked as I was dressing in the fitting room. "That's silly, he wouldn't." Lee said but I stuck my head out of the door and said "Oh, he would." Lee then sighed and said "I don't know... All of me loves all of you." "No! That's yours and Celine's theme song. We need our own!" I argued. "Well, it's noto like we already took your sister's and my wedding date." Lee said sarcastically. "Well, we weren't prepared... that's why we need to prepare." I said as I came out wearing a red ruffle dress but Lee shook his head and I went back in. "What about... Love story by that swift girl." he suggested but I came back out with a different dress and said "First of all. No new song crap. We need a song with deep meaning... a song that says I will love your forever." "Wow! You are a wedding planner because you are cheesy as hell." Lee said

"I am a wedding planner because I got the skill!" I said, Lee looked me up and down and said "That's the dress!" the dress was black and white that clung to my curves, it came up above my knees but it showed off my collar bones but not big on cleavage. "We can think about the theme song later, we need to get you shoes, and ever since I've met Celine I know how long it takes women to choose a pair of shoes." Lee said as he pushed me back in the fitting room to change back to my orange dress which I now just notice how bleak it looks.

We went to the shoe section while discussing more of our fake marriage. "We have to know each others favorites... because Landon already knows almost all of my favourites." I suggested

"Favorite food? So I can order for you." Lee said

"I love Pizza." I said, "But there's no Pizza in the restaurant." Lee said, I frowned and folded my arms. "Fine... then just get me some steak... medium rare." "Wow. For a woman you eat a lot. Mine is Cheese Ravioli." Lee said "Color?" Lee asked, "That's a lame question. But... mine is Red." I said "Tangerine." Lee said, my jaw dropped and I said "But my dress is...." I pointed to my orange dress. "It's everyday we are going somewhere fancy, and besides you look amazing in it." Lee said and there goes my spirit again. "Enough with the silly questions!! Oh, these look great." I got distracted as I saw a pair of black heels that were to die for. Lee looks at the price and quickly puts it back. "Find another one that doesn't cost one grand." Lee overly exaggerated. I frowned and pointed at my silver heels that I'm wearing and said "I guess I have to wear these." but Lee sighed and grabbed the black heels to go pay for them.

I silently cheered.

We then went to go do my hair. Me and Lee then chatted the whole time about our lives and sometimes making jokes in the middle. It was like a very sweet dream that I never want to wake up from. But once I was ready for the dinner with Landon and Lee, I changed into the clothes that Lee bought for me. My hair was in a fancy updo, and I had a few jewelries that Lee picked up for me. I walked out of the bathroom to see Lee waiting for me, it seemed like it was our first date or more like our first of many.

He then snapped his head towards me and he mouthed "Wow" I smiled at him and asked "What do you think?" he then stroked his chin and looked anywhere but me. He looked tense and nervous. "You like it... don't you?" I teased him only to see him turn pink. It was adorable. "You look... beautiful." he stuttered. It was my turn to turn pink but then his eyes widen as he held up a finger telling me to wait and reached into his jacket's pocket and pulled out a ring.

A diamond ring.

Celine's 10 karat ring.

but he held it out to me as if he was proposing to me. I couldn't say my spirit flew out of my body because it never came back. He already took my breath away and I was living my life breathlessly. My knees were weaken since the day I met him, and butterflies never left my stomach but as he stood there with a ring in his hand something within me just bloomed.

"I borrowed Celine's ring, I told her I would get it shined, wear it until the end of the night." Lee said

I was Lee's just for tonight.
