Faked for you

Chapter four

Miles POV.

As me and my team came flooding into the locker room after a long ass day of practice I thought about talking to coach about me having a "girlfriend" I have been avoiding it scared of getting caught but I figured nobody would have proof that what I had done with Ellie was just for business, So I walked right into Ryan's office once I left the building we have been practicing in for weeks.

"Hey man" Ryan coughed shoving chips in his mouth.

"Hey, I wanna talk" I nod sitting down in front of his desk "I got involved with a girl yesterday and I'm here to ask if it's cool to post about?"

The moment the words come out of my mouth his lips form a huge smile from ear to ear. I just keep my face straight waiting for him to speak.

"Congrats man! Thats awesome and I'm glad you finally got off your ass and did something for yourself. Definitely post about it, I'm sure it will get you much more publicity and hopefully you'll make me look like a better agent by getting out there" he nods waiting for me to smile like I'm his best friend.

Ryan is my friend. Yes. But we are not besties and I would never share my secrets with him, nor would I tell him about my love life. I haven't had one of those since Natalie and I don't intend to ever again.

"Okay thanks" I nod standing up and walking towards the door.

"I'm happy for you Miles"

As I walk to my truck I quick send Ellie a text.

Could I post a picture of us to make it official?

The minute I hit send I hop in my truck and drive back home. I still don't understand that woman, like why the hell is she a stripper at a place that barely even pays her? And why does she smile so much? Whatever the answers are they better be good. The strippers I have met in my whole 26 years of life have all been absolute bitches or just extremely fake which is why I stopped going to strip clubs after I had been single for awhile. I'm not sure what brought me to the landing strip where I met Ellie but I am definitely glad I went there otherwise I probably would have went through with quitting the team.

As I pulled into my driveway I pulled my phone out of my back pocket seeing a text from Ellie.

Ellie: sure!

She even adds excitement in how she texts. It's cute how she's so happy yes but I can't compete with that. Like I said before, she's the sunshine and I just happen to be the dark clouds around her.

Once I had a beer in my hand and an ice pack on my ankle I scrolled around on Facebook before finally hitting post. I set my phone down before allowing myself to doze off for a few minutes before my phone started going off. The first few times I ignored it but then it wouldn't shut up so I picked it up seeing probably hundreds of likes and comments from that one post about me and Ellie. Once I started scrolling through the comments I couldn't stop. So many people had said good things I was in pure shock because this is not what they normally say about me.

"They look so cute together!"
"Omg perfect match!"
"She's so gorgeous and now she's got the man!"
"He looks so happy for once!"

I laughed at the last one I read because it's so true, I did look happy and that's good because if I'm happy with Ellie then it's more believable for the people hitting like.

That next morning I was at the weight room and when I sit up I see Andrew! Andres is my best friend and I've known him since high school and he's been at my side ever since. Well I mean now he's engaged and all but even though he hasn't brought it up I know that if I'm not his best man I will probably shove his arm down his throat.

"Hey big shot boyfriend!" He laughs as I sit up running a rag over my forehead.

"What?"

"You're all over the media right now! Everybody is saying how you're making a come back to the press about not having a life" he sits down the the bench across from me smiling the same way Ryan had "so how did you find such a hot girl to edit into your picture?" He laughs once again.

"I didn't edit anything"

"She's real?" His mouth drops.

"Yes. Her name is Ellie, she's very kind and beautiful" I smile. Yes he's my best friend but I can't risk everyone finding out it's fake, I was worried before but if that happened I would be so canceled it's not even funny. this is why I can't tell Andrew.

"Damn right she's beautiful! Well I'm glad you got out of that dating slump" he nods "that was hard to watch"

Before I can respond my phone starts going off. When I look at the unknown caller ID I hang up but the minute I do they call again, so I answer.

"Hello, is this Miles James Scott?" The man at the other end of the phone asks.

"Yes, who is this?" I stand up walking away from Andrew wondering what the hell this conversation is about to become.

"This is the morning loft show with Arthur and we were wondering if you and Ellie Wilson would like to join us next week on our morning segment to answer a few of the fans questions that we have been receiving?"

My stomach flipped. The morning loft show! That would be so huge for me and would put me out there all over the U.S. This could change my whole career but they do need Ellie to come on the show with me, I'm not sure she'd do it but maybe if I offered her more money she'd really consider it.

"Yes, I'll be there" I say not even thinking about saying no because this is the best opportunity I've ever received my whole football career.

"Good, we will send you an email with all the information you'll need tonight. see you then Miles" the man says before hanging up.

I shove my phone in my pocket trying to comprehend what just happened. I'm going to be on live tv. I mean I'm on tv every other weekend but this will be about me and my life. Fuck. I'm excited but at the same time I'm dreading doing this.

"What was that about?" Andrew sighs.

"The morning loft show wants me and Ellie to go on the show next week" I gasp saying it out loud. This is insane.

"Damn, too bad she's not real and can't do it" he laughs patting me on the shoulder.

"Shut up, asshole" I shake my head lightly laughing with him.
