1001 Love Stories Darker

Christmas (100)

I walked into the CEO's office my heart in knotted stomach. Someone like me doesn't just get called into his office for anything and I know for a fact this isn't gonna be a "you're so amazing here's a million dollar Christmas bonus." When I barely make marks.

The moment I walked in Tim Welcrest looks up from his desk and towards me.

"You wanted to see me sir?" I say and he sighs.

"Look I'll save the set up, im going home for the holidays. My parents think that someone my age needs to be married and to be honest, you're the only person I've met in the last year that I can stand being around for even fifteen minutes. Yada, yada, the plot of the proposal. You wanna go to New York and pretend to be my Fiancé for like a week. I'll pay you your usual hourly pay. Afterwords I'll tell my parent you ran away with a lover before the wedding." He says and I just stand there looking into his golden eyes.

"Okay." I say and he smiles slightly.

"Alright, here a card with my personal number text me your address be ready by Sunday. We'll work on everything you need to know. He says before waving me off.

Tim's POV

"This isn't gonna work." Daniel, my best friend and business partner says and I look over to where Luka sat eating a salad like a rabbit.

"Name one hallmark movie it doesn't work in." I tell him and he looks over to him.

"And at the very least, I get to kiss him for two weeks." I say drinking my water.

"But it'll work." I say.

"And then what, I feel like the second you let him know about your obsession he'll run for the hills and drop a million dollar lawsuit in your lap." He says and I watch Luka a bit more.

"I'd pay a million dollars for two weeks with him. The wedding venue is booked for Valentine's Day so it's now or never." I say only half joking.

"Please don't tell me you've booked a venue without having talked to him in years." He says and i smile.

"I've talked to him a few times." I say justifying my creepiness.

"Anything not work related?" He asked and I shrug.

I arrive at the apartment building before sending him a text that said I was here. It was my first time getting to text him but god knows I've wanted to for a while.

Suddenly he appeared with two suitcases trying to carry them both and I smile getting out of the car and helping him.

"Thanks." He said with that beautiful smile and I do the same.

"So well drive there so it's gonna be about six hours there and back. Plenary of time for you to get to know me." I say putting his bags in my trunk along with mine.

"Also another thing." I say holding out the ring and his face turned bright red. It starts at his nose and just below his eyes.

I wanna marry him. I think taking his hand and sliding on the stunning ring. Of Diamonds surrounded emerald, that matched his beautiful eyes.

This is gonna be his wedding ring.

"Let's go." I said opening the car door for him.

We wore a cute little tan turtleneck. That made his brown hair look a bit lighter. His eyes were a beautiful shade of Green and he had the thickest eye lashes.

And his cute freckles that covered his face and that cute little button nose.

"Would you like to go get something to eat before we get on the rode." I say and he smiles a little.
