a certain romance

Let's rewind a little bit because I can't believe what happened previously. ALEX KISSED MAYA? FULL ON KISS? NOT PECK, FULL ON KISS. OH MY GOD FREAKING JESUS WHAT, HOW, WHEN. I should continue with the story I know hold up.

After the kiss Alex looked into Maya's eyes. There was something. A spark. Maya could feel it. He could feel it. Even the ants in the ground could feel it. Then some flashes appeared from the background. " Hey get out of here " Alex said to some guys who were hiding behind some bushes outside the pub. Who were these people. " Let's go, I need to talk to you somewhere more private. " Alex said and grabbed Maya's hand and lead her to a place more quiet. After a bit of walking they were in a street which was completely empty. It was right by the edge of the forest so it was kind of beautiful, and also creepy. Normally Maya would've made a joke about the location such as ' are you going to murder me here? ' and that type of stuff but to be quite clear she was still shocked from that kiss. To be honest, I would've been shocked too.

" Listen, are you cold ? " Alex said as he noticed her shaking a bit. She did not respond. He took off his coat and three it over her, holding it tightly on her shoulders, slightly moving his hands up and down to make sure she was getting even more warmth. " On the phone yesterday was the big man, our boss. Those girls who saw us downtown. They called a newspaper and it's all over the tabloids that we are dating. It's quite a positive thing says the big man for the new album and everything, even more press. Those fellas before, were paparazzis. It was a scheduled photoshoot for this  We are an item now love. " WHAT THE F***K? AN ITEM?. Maya did not know where to begin . " An item? " Maya asked " Did you even ask me on this? I don't want to be an item Alex I'm not some puppet " " I know, I know , we will be friends  strictly, we won't have to do anything apart from some kisses for the paps and that's all. " Alex said. Oh Lord, she could not believe her ears. She would become a Turned girl? She would get to kiss him and sleep next to him and everything? SCORE. I mean noooooo Maya doesn't want that she doesn't like Alex. Who am I even kidding. We all know Maya likes him. Who wouldn't?

" You understand Maya? We will just be friends, nothing more than that. We will only move forward with this if you agree " Alex wanted to make sure she was comfortable with this. Maya couldn't believe it . What was happening? Was she now dating THE Alex Turner or was this all a dream. "I agree under one condition, this will not go anywhere else, I'm not going to sleep with you or be your actual girlfriend. It's just for the album and then it's over " Maya said in a very serious tone. Alex gave her his hand " deal " he said and they walked back to the pub.

Once they got inside the pub they noticed that the boys were all shaken up as if they had just learned the worst possible news ever. " Since when? " Nick asked in a very shocked tone. Maya noticed they had their phones open and there it was, the photos had just been uploaded and everyone had seen. " How long have you been keeping this a secret mate, I thought we were friends. " Jamie said. They were all clearly drunk, too drunk to have a quiet conversation in the pub so they decided to leave. Alex sat at the driver's seat and Maya right beside him. " Yesterday the big man told me that since some girls noticed me and Maya at the town everyone began gossip that she was my new girlfriend. That increased the popularity in the tabloids and so here we are. " Alex explained as he kept his eyes fixed on the road. Maya was still kind of shaken up from that kiss. It was magical. He was a very good kisser. Veryyyyy good. " So let me get this right, you two are fake dating " Nick asked as he tried to make sense of the situation, being the least drunk of the three. " Yes " Alex responded. No one could believe it. Not Maya. Not Nick. Not Matt. Not Jamie. Not even Alex. Would this fake relationship ruin the fun of the gang or just set them on some very amusing and rather exciting adventures?
