I Am In Love With My Ex [ Unedited]√

Chapter Twelve - Is our date fake or real ?

"You have to dress as beautiful as possible, you know this is your first date with Martin. You won't want to mess it up," Maria's eyebrows were moving up and down in a teasing manner. She really must be enjoying teasing me "First impression counts". She was so engrossed in dressing me. I hardly believe sometimes that she was truly my sister. Just imagine we are the total opposite.

I sat on the bed, wishing for the second time today that I haven't pushed Drey away. I wonder what he was doing alone in that mansion of theirs. I recalled not seeing any domestic staff like a gatekeeper when I went there. Maybe they do have domestic staff inside. It's known that rich family always have domestic help. The Drey I know can't wash dishes to save his life. oh my gosh! why am I thinking of Drey welfare at this moment ?. It would only make Maria suspicious. I have to act firm and stay strong.

"See, I told you my makeup can perform magic," Maria said with enthusiasm. What's really special about going to a date ?. I mean it's just a fake date although nobody knows. This really sucks having a fake boyfriend was no fun. I thought I will be so thrilled with the idea and it would be fun. Experiencing it now made me realise it really is no fun. Maybe I should give up on the fake boyfriend stuff.

True to her word, Maria had painted my face with lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow and all those stuff we girls use to paint our face. I must confess I look different if I was someone else I would have admitted I am not me, maybe my twin sister. Not that I have one.

"Yes. You're really good at it Mary" I call her Mary, she call me Anna sometimes. Name only we siblings call ourselves. Sisters stuff. I'm liking the idea of having Maria as my younger sister.

"So, what are you waiting for? Off you go." before I could reply she was already pushing me towards the door. I sigh and thought this was surely going to be the worst date in history. Although I hope not.

Waving my hands at Maria, I saw Martins in the sitting room. He really was handsome in his black Jean with a blue top his black hair was dishevelled in a sexy manner. Maybe it wasn't a totally bad idea having him as my boyfriend. He's totally hot.

'Not as hot as Drey' a small voice in my head said. Oh! Shut up we shouldn't be talking about Drey.

"Are you done checking me out" Martins smirked.

" Ooh. I wasn't checking you out" I was but I'm not confessing to you that I was actually checking you out.

"Whatever you say. By the way, you look beautiful" I blushed oh my. He just said I look beautiful but why am I blushing like a fool.

"Thanks."

"Ladies first, " he said opening the door for me. Such a gentleman.

*********
"Wow, this is beautiful". We were currently standing in an amusement park. Not that I haven't been there before but it was a long time. When I was dating Drey we didn't go to the public because I wanted to keep the relationship the top secret in our school.

" The fun is yet to start," Martins said and started pulling me with him to someplace.

We got to the place it was a ticket booth. The young lady selling the ticket was busy flirting with Martins. The female dog can't she see he came with someone.

" We like to ride the roller coaster. Two tickets."

"Here you go" she gave Martin the tickets and a shit of paper, placing her hands on her ear like a signal or calling me.

What was that for, some young lady really don't have pride. Hitting on someone else date.

We left the ticket booth and I asked Martin "what was that for? What she just did" Not that I don't know but I want him to say something.

He shrugged " Just a girl that wants to get laid. Nothing important, ignore her." Really? Well, it's none of my business. It's not like he really was my boyfriend, he was just doing me a favour. If there was anything I have to say to him, it's thank you. Although I won't say it now.

" Are you getting in or not ?" Martin said drawing me out of thought island.

"Sure! Hope we ain't dying in this stuff "

"It's going to be fun Sussy, stop been a baby and get in."

Just as Martin predicted, it was really fun I was shouting and screaming all sort of gibberish not that Martins care, he was also screaming. Wow! It's really fun when you have no thought in the world. I wish every day could be like that screaming your worries freely to the world without been ask to stop.

The moment we left the roller coaster I missed the fun in it. "That was so cool," I told Martins. He gave me a sly smile saying "I thought that was what you need." He replied with sincerity.

"I'm glad I came to this date"

" That's the least a fake boyfriend can do for you" he shrugged.

I wanted to hug him and tell him I'm really grateful for all what he was doing but still, I don't want him to get the wrong idea. I kept wondering if our date was real or fake. To me, it seems too much fun to be fake.

I couldn't hide the eagerness in me forever, so I asked Martins.

"Is our date real or fake" he stopped walking and face me.

"What do you want it to be ?" The question shocked me. I don't know do I really want it to be real? Am I ready to have another boyfriend? The different question keeps popping into my brain.

Martins was cute, a gentleman he made me laugh and it would be really nice to have him as my boyfriend but I don't feel the excitement I feel when I'm around Drey. There's something about Drey that knows one else has. I can't really place my finger on it, even after the betrayal and all the feeling was still there maybe that was why I'm scared of him winning me back.

I shrugged and look back at Martins " I don't know, but I want you to know I really had fun today." We resumed walking back.

" Well don't let that spoil this date fake or real it doesn't matter as long as it left some happy memories," he put his hand on mine and smiled " what is a date without good food. How about we go get some foods to eat. I don't want you complaining that you fake boyfriend can't feed you." That just made me smile so I nod my head in agreement.

We got to the fast food order some snacks and ice cream.

"Tell me something I don't know, " Martins said. I put my hand on my chin in thought.

"I can tell you millions of things you don't know" I smiled and took a bite of my meat pie.

" How about telling me something I don't know about this guy you don't want to fall in love with."

Should I tell him about Drey or not. I could tell him because he was actually doing me a favour. He deserves to know the truth. It's not a must I tell him his name.

"Well, one thing was that he was my first love," I said smiling while I remember when I first met Drey in Junior year.

"And you haven't had another love since then? "

Is this some sort of interrogation or what. " Not really. I have a crush but ever since we break up. I don't do date."

"You must have loved him a lot"

"Yes. I loved him a lot"

"Are you sure it's loved or love. It seems as if you are still in love with him"

"No" I spat out the ice cream in my mouth.

"Anything that makes you happy Sussy. But I think you should think it through maybe what your head is telling you is different from the message your heart is passing across" he said and continued eating his snack as if he hadn't just messed with my head.

So, he got me thinking do I still really have a feeling for Drey, after all, he did to me.
