The fake wedding

Manipulated

Charlottes p.o.v

I was in the backyard of the villa, and everyone was either out in the city or inside. So I had the pool to myself, I put the towel on the backyard table and got in the water.

It was nice and cool relaxing me, I swam a couple laps, and laid on the float, letting the sun tan my body and try to relax.

Which was cut short, hearing the back door open. "The pool feel good?" I squinted my eyes, using my hand as a shade looking up seeing rafe. "Yeah." I laid back closing my eyes.

He's be acting very different lately, more touchy , and that glare of disgust is gone. I was so lost in my head, I didn't hear him get into the pool, but felt him touch me. I jumped flipping over into the pool.

"What the hell?" "Sorry I was trying to get your attention." I moved my hair, and the water from my eyes. "You need something?" "Listen I uh was thinking I've been a jerk lately, and I think it might be the reason of me having a little crush on you." I was stunned and confused on what his game was, or what the hell came over him.

"Uh ok." "I didn't realize you have green eyes." He smiled at me getting closer, I could feel the heat from his body over heating me. "Sometimes they get darker and turn hazel." "They're beautiful." My heart was beating hard and fast, I could smell the cigarettes he smoked earlier masked over with cologne.

"Thanks." "So what do ya say we try and work this out?" I stared at him lost for words completely, but I wanted to know what he was doing. "Sure." He smiled lifting my chin up to him kissing me.

I felt like I could melt, but I held myself together kissing him back. He pulled back smirking, I just looked at him and felt so confused on what he was doing.

Rafe's p.o.v

"I got everything under control baby." I spoke to Sophia standing on the patio in the room, Charlotte wasn't in the room, a great time for me to call my ex girlfriend.

"This is going too slow I just want this to end already." "I know but in due time I will not only have the hundred million dollars but also the biggest company he has." "I just hate the thought of you all over that little bitch."

''That little bitch' Is what's getting us everything we need." I heard her sigh I blew out the smoke from my cigarette shoving it in the ash tray.

"I just can't wait until that trip is over and you get her pregnant." "8 more days." "Too long." I heard the door to the room open and I panicked, "Listen I'll call you tomorrow." I hung up the phone stepping into the room seeing JJ. "You need something?"
"So you're planning something I hear?" He heard me? But he didn't even- fuck I was outside, but there couldn't have been a way he listened to the whole thing.

"Can't you mind your business?" "Why are you hurting someone like charlotte she doesn't deserve it."
"Let me take care of my marriage JJ." He was getting into too much, and I couldn't stand it. I spent years trying to keep my life private, and I'm not going to have JJ's meddling ruin it. "You know I'm gonna find out either way right?" I kept my gaze on him, watching his face turn into a devilish smirk, walking out the door.
I am so fucked.

JJ's p.o.v

I walked around the inside of the villa, trying to figure out how to get to rafe. He can't get off this easy, I know he's doing something I always do

I heard music in a room, and I walked towards it, seeing it was a dance studio inside. I looked in and saw
Charlotte, she looked like those professional ballerinas I see at the theater with my parents. Except without the Tutu on, she was dancing so effortlessly and so smooth.

She stopped once I stared clapping for her, she looked at me her eyes tripled in size blushing, I opened the door wider. "I didn't know you dance." "I've taken lessons since I was a baby." She drank her water, and I walked up to her.

"You know when you told me not to take what you said into context?" "Did you do what I said?" I stood quiet, she sighed setting her water down, "I was just thinking, you can talk to me any time you need me, any time." She stood quiet moving her leg in and out slowly. "Is rafe hurting you?" Her eyes shot up looking at me. "No no he isn't." She was stuttering, and now I was kinda scared that my brother was abusing, her not just verbally.

"I'll uh let you go back to dancing." I turned on my heels and started to walk to the door, "JJ Wait." I stopped and turned going back to her. "Don't take this into context either ok?" I nodded my head, shoving my hands in my pockets. She stood quiet, and I waited on what she was going to say. "I've been feeling confused lately, something has been confusing me every since it happened. I don't know whether to let it happen and get hurt or to just stop it I feel trapped either way."

"God how I wish I could ask you the questions in my head." I muttered, I just wanted to know, what's confusing? What happened lately? And let what happen? Why is she feeling this way? Who the hell is making her feel this way?
"Pardon me, but why do you care so much about my feelings?"

"Shouldn't everyone care about everyone's feelings?" She looked down to her feet I could tell she's been hurt before. Whatever is going on with rafe is even worse, it's beating her down.

"Yes they should, but why do you?"
"I've never met someone like you, you're pure and I like that." She stood quiet again, she tends to do that. I used to do that so I could process what to say more often, I usually do that more in buissness meetings now. "Fuck I wish I could tell you JJ." Tell me what? Oh fuck, this is going to be hell.

"You don't have to when the time comes everything will sort its self out." She reached out and hugged me tight, "You're amazing you know that?" I hugged her back. resting my chin on the top of her head. "I know."
