Fake At First Sight

chapter 2

I wake up to something cold being squirted into my face.

"What are you doing?" I screamed, attempting to dry my cold and wet face with the soft bed sheets. James stands next to the bed with a small water pistol in his hand.

"Your gonna be late for work." He said as if he hadn't done anything wrong and left the room after slamming the door.

I grabbed my flip phone off the side desk and checked the time. "8.46!" I yelled way too loudly.

I heard a muffled "told you so." coming from the kitchen, which made me frown.

I quickly took the quickest shower I could and put on my work clothes, I decided on some loose jeans folded at the bottom and I tuck in a white t-shirt that says "HONEY" on it in red not bothering to put any makeup on. I walked out into the kitchen to find a stack of buttered pancakes and a note that said "Eat up. I've left to do a photo shoot, see you tonight, we're watching a movie."

I found it so strange to find the plate there since he has been so rude to me since I got here but I still hesitantly ate them which to my surprise actually tasted amazing.

I took the plate of buttered pancakes and ate them quickly, I must admit, they were really good. I then made my way to take a bus to work seeing I still haven't got the money to buy a car yet.

As I walked past the desks all I could hear was whispering, im assuming it was about James and I. I felt my cheeks go red for what seems like the thousandth time these past two days and rushed to my bosses office.

"So how is everything between the both off you?" She asked, while typing on her computer, not looking up from the screen.

"Just fine." I lied, its been awful.

"The two of you are all over the press. Which is really good, after two weeks of this your going to have to get engaged and have your fake wedding not long after." She told me as if it was something normal.

wasn't 2 weeks a very short time to get engaged? I wont argue though, I need this job.

"Yes of course" I smiled "would you like some coffee and where would you like me too pick up your lunch from" I asked.

"Yes please, and the usual, just a ceaser salad from katies cafe" she told me glancing up for the first time but returning back to her original state. eyes glue to the screen.

"Yep ill go down in a couple off hours" I promised, "got any jobs for me?" I asked with my bestest smile

"Yes, I also need you to print off some papers for me." She pulled out a small purple usb and handed it too me. I took the usb and slide it into my pocket.

After a few hours of printing of houndreds of pages, I decided its about time I go down and get Mrs Parker's lunch, and have my break. I walked down the busy streets down to the small but very cute cafe.

I ordered my usual, a chicken ceaser wrap and sat at a small table to the side of the little cafe.

A young guy came over to my table with a shy but friendly smile, he was really hot, nothing compared to James though.

"Hey I'm Jacob" He sat down putting out a hand for me to shake, which I reluctantly shook.

"Kelsey" I gave a small but awkward smile.

"I know" he adds to my suprize

"Your all over the news, im not stalking a promise" he quickly adds, I musted have had a very freaked out face.

"Oh ha sorry" I said embarrassed. I looked down to the shiny wooden floor feeling my cheeks go crimson red once again.

"Dont be" he smiled.

after what felt like 20 minutes of talking and getting to know the strange man i finally managed to say goodbye and then made my way to the counter and got lunch for Mrs Parker.

When I made it back to James' apartment after my long day I found Him parked on the couch watching the football game, laid on the table was a large series of different snacks rangeing from chocolate to chips and popcorn that all look untouched and then a stack of movies on the side table to the left.

"What's all of this." I asked refuring to all the food.

Which caused him to suddenly jump, I guess he hadn't heard me come in.

"Oh urm for photos" he replied bluntly looking a little embarrassed and sat up straight.

I came over and sat on the seat next to him.

"I need some help to arrange the foods and ourselves, to look perfect because I'm supposed to post this on social media." He explained to me picking up a box of original pizza shapes.

After spending 20 minutes of arranging everything 'perfectly' we put on the film 'titanic' which is apparently a classic, Although I've never really had a chance to see it. So after getting the movie at a good point in the film on the 85" television, we finally took the photo and posed our legs in the picture and then he cuddled into me and we took a selfie trying to look like a normal happy couple.

James imediatly posted the two photos on his Instagram.

"What's your username, ill add you." He said boredly while refreshing the photo watching the likes add up every second.

"I don't actually have Instagram." I mumbled.

"But your a chick how do you not have Instagram" he asked, shock was clear on his face.

"I don't really need it." I said looking down rather embarrassed.

"Alright give me your phone then." He demanded. I pulled out the silver flip phone from my purse and placed it into his hand.

"What the fuck is this thing?" He shrieked in horror looking at the ancient phone in his hand.

"My phone." I snapped, defending myself, then snatched the device from him, returning it to my small purse.

He pulled out his phone and logged out of his account to sign me up for the unnecessary app.

After creating my account he posted the photo and got up from the couch and left.

I sat here on the couch assuring myself he was coming back to watch the movie but after what seemed was an hour I decided that he probably went to bed and was rude enough not to say goodnight. I cleaned all the food up after eating a small proportion of it and turned of the tv. I then decided to call It a night.
