His love

6

"Marry me" he said this time more in a demanding voice than a questioning tone as he repeated himself. I heard him correctly the first time he asked me to marry him. What the actual fuck.

" with all due respect Mr. King we aren't even dating" I told him as I looked at him like he had grown two heads. Maybe he fell and hit his head a little too hard or maybe he's just actually insane.

" let me explain"He said as he leaned forward leaning his forearms against his legs. " my father needs me to marry somebody actually he needs me to at least have a fiancé for appearance wise it's good for business. Once somebody sees a businessman settle down and they think that they are more serious than a bachelor." He told me

" and what does this have to do with me?" I asked him

" nothing really but all the females we interviewed earlier were potential fiancés and as you saw they're not really wife material let alone business material. As for you you're fully qualified you're very modest and you're an excellent worker great for business and a great to have at my side." He told me as he just heard to me. " so will you be my fiancé?" He asked me once again

"I-I" how do I even respond to that.

" let's make a deal. The relationship is only for show. When we go out to meetings and interviews and just anything to do with the media or public we act like we're madly in love." He said as he stood up and started walking next to me " holding hands" he placed his hand on mine from behind me

" maybe even a little bit of PDA" he said as he leaned down to where I could feel his hot breath on my neck. " in return I will take care of all your financial problems and anything else you need." He whispered in my ear before pulling back walking back towards the chair he was previously sitting in. I let out of breath I didn't even know I was holding.

" so you just want me to be your fiancé for show?" I asked him and he nodded " and you'll help me out financially?" he nodded

I sat there and thought for a minute I am struggling financially to the point Maya had to help me and she barely knows me. Plus Parker's wanting to move out soon into a smaller apartment just for him because he can't afford the two bedroom apartment. And I obviously can't help pay.

This honestly is a win-win situation the media sees that I'm engaged to a handsome sexy man with all the riches and I get money out of it.

" no sex?" I questioned him leaning forward a little getting more intrigued

" no. Unless that's something you want" He said with a mischievous look on his face.

"N-no?" I said a little unsure which made him laugh a little.

" so what do you think?" He asked me raising his eyebrows " Will you do me the honours of being my fiancé for show?" He asked me

"I-I uh" I said not sure of what to say I can't just agree I know nothing about this man other than he's my boss he's sexy and he's single and he's rich. " can I think about it?" I asked him a little unsure

" I want my answer by tomorrow" he said before turning away walking out of the room " you can go home now if you would like Miss Smith" he told me as he close my door behind them I quickly shake the dirty thoughts are running through my head and the stupid scenarios of this whole arranged marriage thing. I quickly pack my things into my bag before rushing out of the office building.

I quickly hopped into Parker's car since mine was now in possession of my ex. I took a deep breath before turning on the car and making my way home.

" he did what?" Parker said in shock as he was eating my favourite ice cream.

" yeah" I said ripping the ice cream out of his hands before eating it

" and you said you wanted to think about it?!"
He said looking at me like I have grown two heads.

" what was I supposed to say yes? He's my boss!" I said stuffing my face with ice cream

" he offered to pay you to kiss him in public any reasonable person would have said yes!" Parker said looking at me like I was crazy for objecting

"itsmotlimkeisaudno" I said with a mouth full of ice cream

" say that again without ice cream in your mouth"

" it's not like I said no I just said I need a time to think" I said after swallowing the ice cream that was in my mouth

" OK so are you gonna say yes?" He asked me well taking the ice cream for my hands and finishing off the ice cream that I had left on the spoon

" I don't know... Should I? What if I find somebody I'm truly in love with and I want to marry?" I said slouching back into The couch while sighing

" then you call the whole arrangement off it's not like you're losing anything other than money. And beside your just dating" he said shrugging grabbing another spoonful of ice cream. Yes I lied to him. I may have left out the marriage part.

I guess he's right if I do find somebody I am actually in love with I could always call the deal off. " I don't know... I think I'm gonna sleep on it I have to give them an answer by tomorrow morning anyways" I said to Parker as I stole the ice cream off the spoon that he had just skipped for himself.

I heard him laugh as I made my way to my bedroom. Hopefully I'll have an answer for him in the morning. I mean how bad could it honestly be.
