Her Fruitless Love(GL) 18+

Ch- 2 The Fake Couple

{2 years ago, 7th June 2017, 7:30 p.m.}

"Crap! I'm late !" I shouted in a low voice as I glanced up at the clock that ticked to 7:30.

I was done doing my hair so I made a rush towards the door in a hurry to meet Susmita, I promised to meet her today to go to buy something with her and she also said that there's something she wants to tell me, wonder what it is?

It's particularly cold today after the chilly long rain that continued for 2 days and finally stopped this morning. I walked up to the bus stop to find Susmita standing there, wearing a red long dress with black leggings fitting her legs perfectly while she had her long black hair tied loosely as she stood there maintaining a proper distance from other people at the bus stop, the lamp post light was out due to the heavy rain but light was radiating off from the front side of her body surface as the head lights of the passing by vehicles gave out light which fell upon on her. The people beside her didn't shine as much as she did, rather it looked as if they were standing in a dim lit area which in fact was true, but the lights from the cars and other automobiles didn't reflect off them as it does on a mirror like it did on her, it's as if even in this dark all the lights were on her, am I hallucinating? It's beautiful though.

This is the bypass road, continuous cars and other vehicles drive past here all the time so even without a land post it wont be too difficult to see your surroundings if you dont have a bad eye sight. I called out to her and as soon as she spotted me she gave me her usual hearty smile. As soon as I reached her we started walking hand-in-hand as the streets were dark, all void of any light.

We were going to a store just across the road to have her pick something from there -some stationary material that she mentioned to me of. The evening was beautiful, it was not bright but not dark without the streetlights either as the lightbulbs shined providing us with just enough light from the shops that were littered in the pedestrian walkway gave it a dim lit look making the streets look much more beautiful and aesthetic. We were enjoying our time conversing about random things just when she said something that caught all my attention. "Let's be a fake couple" I heard it too clearly to make a mistake.

Wondering what she means to say by the word "Fake couple" I asked her, "What?".

"You and I have always been a popular couple in our class -both at school and tution, remember how fun it used to be? We were the class's gossip every day, even now I have your name carved on my school bag which everyone noticed the other day and then all of them implored me asking why your name is carved on my bag, so at the heat of the moment I told them that 'She is my husband and I'm her wife, its only natural to have your lover's name imprinted on your belongings.' just like how you used to say back when we studied at the same coaching centre. You know you are really popular at our new coaching too even though you don't study there but all of us who transferred there still gossip fondly about you so when I said this that day it piqued everyone's interest and we had loads of fun, especially me being your wife.", she let it all out at once while laughing at some parts in the process, excitement noticeable in her face and voice.

"How nice would it be if you studied with us there! That's why I want you to be my fake girlfriend and pretend that we are dating for real." She finished with a breathy moan.

Registering her words into my mind I calmly spoke out, "But I only called us husband and wife back then outta mere joke and fun, ya know I'm dating a guy."

"Oh you are? But it's fine right? I ain't telling you to get in anything serious with me, it'll all be fake -no worries~ I just need you to turn up outside of our coaching centre from time to time and pretend to be my husband(lover). It'll be fun! My new friends keep pestering me to bring you. Anu[short name for Ananya] please na~?" She explained while calling my name out sweetly.(People who are familiar to her call her 'Anu' sometimes while talking sweetly)

I 'hmmm'-ed in response thinking about what she said, faking to be a couple is no biggie for me at all seeing how I dump so many guys despite being in a real relationship with them, so if this grants her and the others some fun I don't have anything to be offended by it. I'm a person who moves by impulse herself, outta all our friends, I've kept Susmita closest to me so she must've been influenced by my ruthlessness too for her to say it to them like that, it's precisely because of this nature that I'm popular in our class.

"Hey? I'm making you feel pressured right? Sorry.. even though you said that you have a boyfriend, I should've been more thoughtful, what if things start going south in between you 2 because of me? It's fine if you can't do it I understand.", she said snapping me outta my thoughts as I glanced up at her to see her once excited face replaced with a concerning look on it.

"No I'm fine with your idea, and I'm not serious about that guy anyways, I'll dump him by the end of the month, it's not like I loved him to begin with, he was the one who came onto me so I gave him a month's chance. But as per my policy I remain loyal to my partner through and through the time we are an official couple so I was having 2nd thoughts when you proposed that to me, but as you say it's a fake relationship, we'll be nothing more than good friends behind the facade of being a perfect couple to the public eye so it's technically not cheating, however I won't stop dating other guys while I'm in this fake relationship thing as I tend to change partners as soon as I break up, is that fine?" I finished stating as I gave her my approval.

"Oh-Oohh(her voice cracked here bcoz of her uncontrollable laughter). Oh God! I'm speechless! I honestly feel for that guy, but yeah that'll do for me.", she finished as she kept on laughing in the middle of her sentences.

"Then when'll it be a good time to show up at your coaching?", I asked.

"Mmm...let's see, tomorrow's Thursday, I've next class on Saturday, you should come by then around this time in the evening."

"At 7:30?"

"Noo.... maybe a little later, come at 7:45, we'll get enough time for me to introduce my friends to you! After that I'll go in when the clock would strike 8 and the class would begin and then you will depart too."

"Yeah sounds great, let's do that I'll see you on Saturday then.", I said as we finally stopped walking because we reached her house.

"Okayy then byeee!", she wailed while she waved her hand backwards at me as she hurriedly made her way inside her house.
