Ezra

Valencia parked in front of a very fancy restaurant and I suddenly became nervous. I didn't expect this. I'm not dressed fancy enough for this restaurant. I looked through the restaurant windows to see everyone dressed elegant and fancy, suits and dresses and then there's me in fucking jeans and a t-shirt.

I glared at Valencia as she parked the car.

"Why didn't you tell me that we're going to eat at a fancy restaurant!" She rolled her eyes at me.

"Why are you in such a mood suddenly?" I scoffed angrily at her.

"Valencia I'm not dressed fancy enough for this!" I motioned my hands to the restaurant in front of us and then to my clothes and she sigh.

"Ezra, calm down, there's nothing wrong with your outfit, I promise." She gave me a soft smile and got out.

I sighed tirelessly and got out of the car. I'm not even going to say anything about this anymore. I'm tired of this bullshit.

Walking around the car over to where she's standing I put my hands into my jean pockets. "Are they here yet?" I asked her annoyed and she shook her head.

I wasn't wrong she was towering over me slightly about three inches.

"Not yet, let's go inside and wait for them." She didn't wait for my reply as she was already walking to the entrance of the restaurant. I followed after her and cussed under my breath.

Once we were at the front desk a man in a suit gave Valencia a smile.

"Ms. Ramano, good to see you again, table for two?" He asked and Valencia politely smiled at him.

"Table for four, it should be under the name Ramano." He nods and clicks on the tablet he has in his hands.

"Follow me." He said simply and lead us to our table.

I suddenly feel very out of place when I took in the view in front of me. Women and men dressed in expensive clothes as we walked by the tables. I would now and then get a judgemental look from some of the women and men when they saw my outfit. And all I want to do is run away from here as far as possible.

"Here you go." He stopped at a table and gave us a smile before he walked away.

Valencia took a seat and put her purse down on the table in front of her. When she saw me just standing there and just staring she rolled her eyes and gave me a sarcastic smile.

"Want me to pull out your chair for you." She asked sarcastically and I rolled my eyes.

"No." I mumbled and took a seat next to her.

After a few minutes Bella and Nick arrived. Bella gave Valencia a hug and sat down opposite of us.

Bella wore a green dress that has a slit on the side of her thigh with black heels. Nick wore a navy blue suit and I sigh already over with this acting shit.

"I hope you guys didn't wait to long." Bella said with a smile and Valencia waved her off.

"Not even five minutes." Bella sighed in relief and relaxed in her chair.

The waiter came over to us and handed us menus and took our orders of our drinks. Valencia and Bella ordered a bottle of white wine and Nick ordered a glass of whiskey. And me being me, ordered a glass of water.

I obviously got questioned about it but I just told them I wasn't in the mood for a drink.

"So how are you guys doing so far, any problems?" Bella asked with a smile and I mentally rolled my eyes.

Nosey bitch.

"Everything is going well with us." Valencia replied with a smile and took my warm hand in her cold one.

Why is her hands always so cold?

But I don't mind over the past few months I found a sense of comfort in them.

"So how long are you guys going out  now?" Nick suddenly ask with a curious expression.

"Two months and three weeks." I replied and took a sip at my water. Valencia looks shocked at me since I knew how long our fake relationship is going on.

Nick nods thoughtfully and Bella looks at me with a look I couldn't make out.

"That's probably one of Valencia's longest relationships." He said with a smirk.

"Now that you say that, it's actually true." Bella said with a curious expression.

"What's so special about this relationship that it's lasting so long?" Bella asked Valencia with a curious expression.

Valencia cleared her throat and swallowed thickly before answering.

"She just gets me you know, Ezra can read me like an open book and that's quite scary since nobody can read me like she does." She replied, taking a huge gulp of her wine. She thinks she's lying but she's not, I can definitely read her like an open book. Over the past few months I would noticed the small things she does, like how her left eye would twitch when she's mad or how she would nibble on her bottom lip when she's thinking about something.

"Oh really, like what Ezra?" Nick asked me with a smug smirk that I just want to slap off his face.

I softly look over at Valencia that looks nervously at me thinking I'm going to say something that will fuck things up but I won't.

"When she gets annoyed, she would scratch her neck repeatedly, or when she's in a good mood she would make more jokes than usual and would smile more, when she's frustrated she would run her hand through her hair or when she's sad, her beautiful bright green eyes would dull and the spark that's usually there would disappear, when she doesn't know what to say she would simply just hug you or just keep quiet it depends on the situation." I hold my hand up and took a sip of my water and cleared my throat before continuing. "When she gets good and exciting news she will act all giddily and would go on a shopping spree. When's she's tired she becomes clingy and cuddly. So yeah I think I know my girlfriend pretty well." I smile.

When I didn't get a reply of one of them I looked up confused and saw they all stare at me in shock, especially Valencia. She gave me a look that I couldn't figure out but I shrugged it off.

"You don't even know that stuff about me." Bella said annoyed to Nick making him glare at me.

I blush as Valencia just stare at me, adoring? Lovingly?

No I don't think lovingly, that's ridiculous.
