Here's for the last chapter not being so good, hope you enjoy :).

It's finally Saturday, though I still have 3 hours to get ready because Alex is picking me up at 7.
After I bought my dress, I bought some dark blue wedges and new earrings one of the two earrings has a cuff on it and I fell in love with it instantly, so I bought it.
After I take a shower, I decide I'm going to straighten my bang, but leave the rest of my hair normal. Normal for me is curly and crazy-sadly.
I do a little smoky eye look and put on the only lip stick I have which is a dark red. I also put mascara on. Finally I put my dress and shoes on, when I grab my clutch with my phone and emergency money, the doorbell rings.
I go answer it knowing who it is, but do a double take when I see what he's wearing. A full on black suit with a dark blue tie, that almost looks black but isn't, all in which outlines his body perfectly. Damn the guy he should know he looks too good.
I finally notice he been checking me out too. More in the chest area then anywhere else.
I snap my fingers in front of his face and say, "My eyes are up here, and by the way you look good."
He chuckles, "I know your eyes are up there, and thanks. But, Raven you look absolutely stunning." He smiles genuinely, still checking me out, and I feel myself blush.
"Aye Cayate. Come on we should get going." I say while walking out and locking my door.
I ignore his confused face, most likely by what I said in spanish, but I didn't really care right now since we were heading to the charity event. By the way have I mentioned this is my first charity event, ever?
I'm not surprised to see a limo waiting at the curb when we finally make it out of the building.
Once we're in, I look out the window and look through the beautiful rolling hills and bright green grass of Texas as the sun is slowly but beautifully setting.

We make it to the charity event place after about an hour, and I'm hit with nervousness when I see the paparazzi there. I totally forgot there might be paparazzi, damn.
I feel warmth and pressure on my hand, and I turn my head to see Alex's concerned face.
"Are you ok?" He asks, worry etching his voice.
"Yeah. The paparazzi slipped my mind that they might be here, but I'll be fine." I reply calmly, when in the inside I'm anything but calm.
"Just hold onto my hand and everything will be alright." He says soothingly.
I nod my head, and get out of the limo after him.
I'm suddenly blinded by all the lights, and there are reporters yelling in every direction.
"Mr. Gonzalez! Is she your new toy?" And.
"How long have y'all been together?" Also.
"Is this the women you've been with all along?" And the worst.
"Is she gonna last longer than all your other toys? Or will she not be able to hold on for that long? Also, Mr. Gonzalez, what is this woman's name?" Oh the irony.
Surprisingly Alex didn't answer any of there questions and we were finally inside.
I took a look around for the first time, and noticed it wasn't as fancy as I thought it would be, but it was so much better.
It had a homey kind of feeling and the ballroom, where the event is being held, is casually modern, perfect for this type of event in my view.
I feel a tug on my hand and I come back to my senses that I was still with someone, someone apparently very important if almost the whole room stopped talking when we walked in, though I didn't notice since I was busy looking around.
"Stay close to me. In about an hour they'll serve dinner and I will have to say a speech. After that we'll stay an hour afterwards then we'll leave." I nod at his quiet command.
Once we start moving the people start talking again and some come up to us and talk to Alex about business and whatnot. I know I own, owned, a business, but it's so boring to talk about it, so my mind checks out every time someone comes to talk to Alex. I ignore them, knowing I'm not in the same league as them but honestly not caring.
It's finally time for dinner and I couldn't be happier, bad thing I forgot about rich people is that they eat like a thousand different courses before the main and dessert dishes.
When everyone is on the main course Alex suddenly stands up and strides confidentially on stage and says his speech. I didn't mean to be rude, but I was so into my food I heard absolutely nothing of what he said.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" He asks me, once we're standing again.
"I've been more entertained, but it's ok I guess." I reply honestly.
He chuckles, but suddenly stops and stiffens at my side. "Something wrong Alex?" I ask concerned at his sudden mood change.
"Can you pretend to be my girlfriend, just for a little bit." He replies, but before I can answer a blonde fake comes in just getting on with the conversation as if she were a part of it.
"Oh my gosh, Alex, it feels like forever since I last saw you. When was that? Oh yeah, when I dumped your sorry ass because you thought you loved me when all along I was with your best friend." She laughs terribly, like a cat wailing. But Alex is still tense, and I know she just hit a sore subject.
"Who are you?" I interject her when her voice starts to become annoying.
"Rosey Catherine Lewis. And you are?" She looks at me weirdly, which I gladly return when I answer.
"Raven. And Alex's new girlfriend. Let me just tell you Rosey, you were stupid for letting such a great guy go, but I'm glad you did or else I would've never gotten a chance with him. Also, he's great in bed, girl you just lost everything." I shook my head with fake empathy.
She stares at me shocked, then turns to Alex. "Babe, are you really going to let her talk to me like that?" She asks fluttering her fake eyelashes, and trying to push her fake boobs out a bit.
Once Alex recovers from his shock, he leans down and teasingly slides his lips on mine before pulling back and looking straight at Rosey. "Of course. Didn't you just hear her? She's my girlfriend and hopefully soon to be fiancé." He winks at me, and I feel my heart flutter.
Stop it stupid heart, he's just playing along with what you started.
Rosey just looks at us, then stomps her foot with a frustrated growl, like a little kid, and finally walks away.
After that, Alex takes me home and I couldn't be happier about that, but I still had to ask him something.
"Alex?" I ask, kind of shy now.
"Hmm?"
"Why did you kiss me?"
Alex sighs, before he answers. "Because if I didn't do something, other than hold onto you, Rose would've known that we were a fake."
I feel like he wants to say more, but I just reply with a quiet 'Oh.' And let him be.

I'm finally home and laying on my bed when my phone vibrates with a text.
Had a wonderful evening with you. Would you like to come to dinner with me tomorrow? I don't mind if you say no, I know we're still basically strangers, but I'd like to get to know you better... Anyway I hope you say yes. Good night Raven. -A.
I can only come up with one reply: yes.
