Unexpected Romance (editing)

Chapter 1

We walk down the block. Our hands gripped tightly together like a rope knotted a thousand times. We try to enter the building to Daniel's apartment he rented, but camera flashes and grown men surround us making it slightly more difficult. They shout out questions to him, to me, to us both, but I keep my head down and hide behind Daniel as best as I can.

Finally, we enter the building and our hands release. I cant help but feel disappointed even though I have no reason to be. After all, we aren't really together...

We ride the elevator up to his gigantic apartment where we are to stay until tomorrow morning when we fly to Daniel's house in England. His home. Where his family and friends are. Where he can escape this Hollywood life he has made for himself to go back to being as normal as a rich and famous person can be.

But I am not rich or famous. That is until yesterday morning...

*FLASHBACK*

I could feel someone's hot breathe on my neck as I slowly awoke from what felt like a long night. I lift my head a little and immediately knew I had a headache due to being hungover. I notice a very broad and muscular arm that definitely belongs to a man draping over my bare waist. He is facing me while I am facing away from him. I see that I still had my black, lace bra on and check to make sure I still had on my underwear. A rush of relief comes over me when I see that I do, but I could feel that the man next to me most certainly does not have anything on.

I lift the sheets that are tangled around us and, as discreetly as I can, slip out from his grip. I grab the closest thing to me which was a white shirt and throw it on.

"Nice shirt." The man's deep voice scares the hell of me and gets my heart racing. I can tell he's British by his slight accent, but it is obvious it has faded. I turn back to him, too shy to say anything.

"Relax, babe, only kidding." He is acting so normal about this. Like a stranger did not just wake up in his bed without clothes on, might I add. Realizing I actually have no clue where my clothes are, and now fully aware I am standing in front of a man I do not know with only my underpants on, I ask, "Do you have any pants I can borrow?" At this point I was pulling his shirt so that my bum was covered, even though the hem stopped in the middle of my thigh.

"Bottom left drawer." He says pointing over to his dresser.

I go over to his drawers and squat to open his bottom drawer. I search threw a few pairs of pants until I find what I believe may be the smallest sized pants this guy may own. "So is this a normal thing for you?" I ask him as I pull his blue basketball pants on. They are big on me, but it's better than nothing.

"No, not really." He says. "I usually have sex with them."

"We didn't....?"

He shook his head. How would he even know this? If he was drunk then there would have been no way he could ever know this.

"How would you know this? We were both hammered." I question him.

"Babe, I would definitely remember the ass that you have just so conveniently showed off to me." I roll my eyes at his unnecessary comment. "Actually, maybe we did..."

"Great." I say sarcastically, sighing.

"You don't have a clue who I am, do you?" I look at him a little more closely. He is literally the most handsome man I have ever met, let alone slept with. Dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. A nice bone structure and his jawline, yes his jawline, was heavenly. His body was toned and muscular. Basically, he is extremely hot, and his deep voice and slight accent only add to the list.

I go and sit down next to him while facing him and shook my head. "Should I?"

He smiles, giving a front row seat view to his quirky dimples. "I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts."

"That's not fair!"

"You haven't told me who you are."

I sigh. "My name is Jane White. Im 21 and I've just graduated from Arkansas State University. Your turn."

"Daniel Miller. I'm 23 and an actor."

"You famous or something?" I ask him while I sit down on his bed.

"Only 9 Oscars since I was 12." He says sarcastically as if it was nothing. Okay, how have I not heard of him before? Celebrities, money, fame- that sort of thing- never really interested me. But I did watch movies and TV like any other normal person.

"Sorry." I apologize.

"I've gotta say it's actually nice to have you not freaking out over me, although feel free to at anytime." He smiles to himself.

"Are you always this arrogant?"

He ignores my almost rhetorical question and says, "Well, Im going to hop in the shower. You can go in the kitchen and make something and just chill out for a little while." Daniel gets out of bed and strolls his butt naked and free self over to the bathroom like it was nothing. I cover my eyes.

"Hey! At least warn me before you openly walk around naked!"

"First of all, you have seen it all before. And second of all, millions of girls would love to be in your position." He says shutting the door.

I find my way out of Daniel's room, down the hall and into the kitchen. There isn't much food so I make myself some cereal and clean up after myself. Surprisingly, this place is not dirty so somebody must be doing the cleaning. I go on my phone and start texting my friends back who all are wondering where I was when a man in a suit walked in.

"Uhhh hello. Im Alex, Daniel's agent. And you are?" He seems nice enough, Ill give him that.

He holds out his hand and I shake it. "Jane. Im sorry, I didn't know you guys had a meeting or something.. I'm not even supposed to be here."

He opens his mouth to reply, but Daniel walks in. He was dressed in grey sweatpants and a black T-shirt. "Hey Alex. " He starts to make his own cereal.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Daniel tells me he will be right back and the two of them disappear into another room for a good 5 minutes, although it feels longer. I clean up my bowl and decide on making the rest of Daniel's for him when the two guys finally walk in again over to me.

"Yes?"

The look at each other. Alex starts off. "Well, I have recently came up with an idea that you can be a part of. You do not have to agree, just know that it will greatly help Daniel's career and your life involving money and that sort of thing. Now, because Daniel here is on a break, his career is basically on hold for the time being. Its stalled and its not going to start back up again soon. Meaning he may start to lose interest in the public eye which cannot happen. Its not good at all for it will hurt his future a lot. So when I walked in and saw you sitting here I thought of this brilliant idea. It will definitely hel-"

Daniel cuts his monologue short. "He wants to know if you will 'fake date' me for a few months."
