The fake wedding

Old friendship

Charlottes p.o.v

I groaned feeling Rafe's arms wrap tighter around my waist. I turned facing him, instantly seeing him smile. "I thought you were sleeping." He opened his eyes, blinking a couple times to adjust his vision. "I was, but I needed you to wake up." He smirked lifting my chin up, softly placing his lips on mine.

He moved on top of me, still kissing me softly. I could taste the spearmint toothpaste he swears by. He nuzzled his nose in the crook of my neck, making me giggle at the sensation. He breathed in and I sat enjoying his body warmth.

"Lavender." I furrowed my brows confused on why he suddenly said that, he moved him self so he was looking at me. "I've been trying to figure out why you smell so good, it's the lavender." I felt my face heat up and I knew I was blushing. I could never stop around rafe, which seemed to lighten his mood.

"T've been told it's my signature scent." I smirked making him chuckle, in the process of kissing me again. It was as if he couldn't get enough of me. His phone started to ring and he groaned, moving off me. I rested my head on the palm of my hand watching him talk on the phone. "Yeah..ok.. why- whatever.bye." is that how he usually talks on the phone?

"I have to go." He grumbled moving off the bed
"Oh ok." He stopped walking to the bathroom and walked over to me kissing my lips once more. "We could get ready together." His eyes lit up at my statement, pulling me out of bed. I giggled waking into the bathroom as he hurriedly pushed me in.

3 hours later

Rafe left for work hours ago, I just got back from teaching dance class. I took my shower sitting in our shared room, I decided to call over a close friend. "Hello?"
"Kiara! It's Charlotte." I heard her squeal making me move the phone away from my ear. "I wanted to know if you wanted to come over?"

"Of course I do! I've missed you so much!" I giggled missing talking to her every second of my day. "I'll send you the address." We hung up after I texted her the address, I waited going into the kitchen for something to eat. The staff was gone for the day and it felt nice being alone, though as time passed I started to feel lonely.

I heard the sound of the doorbell and rushed to the door opening it. I felt giddy seeing my best friend since 2nd grade. Her black curly hair was up in a bun, and her freckles showed out beautifully on her face. She wore an off the shoulder white crop top and high waisted blue jeans, her white fillas sneakers tied the look together. she held tightly, embracing me in a big hug.

"Oh honey when you got married I didn't know you married into money too." I rolled my eyes closing the door behind her as she looked around, her eyes widened showing her big brown eyes. "So how've you been I want to know everything." She turned facing me

"Let's go outside in the back and talk." She followed me to the back, it wasn't outside more looking outside but with the air conditioning blowing. "Oh wow." She breathed out looking around, we sat at the table looking at the beautiful garden that took years for me to build.

"How's life been? I feel like we haven't talked in months." It was true we haven't talked, after her mom got sick she needed space from everyone.
Which was understandable, though I missed the hell out of this girl. "Life has been interesting."
"Interesting as in the whole fake husband thing?" I told her about it a year after we got married, I was drunk and so tired of Rafe's shit that day. "He's not a total ass anymore, he told me he has strong feelings for me." She sat frozen with her eyes wide.

"Holy shit, so he told you he loves you?"
"No, when we went to Italy for his parents thing, he told me he had a crush on me or whatever. Obviously I didn't believe it and wondered what his game was, and later he shows me around Rome and tells me he's falling for me." She sat silent and it felt too long waiting for her response. "What did you say back?"
