"I don't understand ,if this Wes guy liked Liz so much why did he help her get with another guy?"-James asks me ,with my favourite book in his hands ,sitting at a stool at his resturant.
He had promised to read "better than the movies"and i can'tbelive he actually kept that promise

We're working a shift together tonight.I did promise i was gonna help him with the resturant.

"He did it in the name of love duh"-i roll my eyes

"That doesn't make any sense"

"Well sometimes you have to sacrifice for the people you love"
"Even if that means that you'll have to let them
go "

"Touching speech Springs"-James turns to look at me
"Really"

"Whatever you will never get it "

"I do get it ,trust me "-he looks at me intensely .

Right .This guy has no idea what love is.

"So ,fake girlfriemd "-James starts with his stupidity .Yet again

"We need a backstory of how we got together"-he explains.

"We somehow got over our feud and found out we're better together?"-i suggest ,with a fake smile on my face.

"No one's buying that Springs"-he rolls his eyes.

"Okay smartpants ,what do you suggest?"

"You finally got out of your head and realized how an nice ,intelligent ,majestic man i am"-he shrugs nonchalantly.

"Right as if i would ever come to that realisation"-i scoff.

"I got a great person to ask about this"

And that's how we ended up at Noah's bar ,sitting at our so called "fav spot " by Noah.Which is just us basically sitting so close to his ass.

What can we say ?We love our new friends.

"Wait a damn minute ,let me get this straight "-Noah rubs his forhead.

"You two are pretending to date to get your friends fo realize that your friendship won't get ruined if they date each other ?"

"Yeah ,isn't that great?"-James smiles widely

"No that's not great Henderson"-Noah grumbles.

"It's a terible idea and you guys have no idea what you're getting into"

"What makes you think that Av and Xander would want to hang with you after you didn't even tell them you were "dating""-that brings some sense to us ,actually.

James and i look at each other ,at a loss of words.

What if Noah was right ?What if our friends hate us after this?And what happens if they find out this is fake?

"Sooo .."-James drags out
"What story do you think people will buy better?"

Noah slowly reaches for a knife and i push James further away ,for safety reasons.
