The Billionaire's Secret

meet and greet

My eyes get big.

"What?" He asks.

"What do you mean?" I clear my throat.

"I mean I'm nervous to see your parents."

"You never said you were coming with me."

"I thought it was clear."

"No it wasn't and you can't come."

"Why?"

"My parents will think we're together."

"What's wrong with that?" He grips my thigh.

"We're not."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea I'm fucking sure."

"Woah calm down."

"You don't understand. My parents have been waiting for me to introduce them to a boyfriend or fiancé for years. If they see you they'll think you're the one."

"Who's to say I'm not?" He laughs.

"This isn't a joke." I smack his arm. "They'll tell Barry and he'll kill us."

"I'm tired of having to be so secretive. What's the worse that could happen?"

"Um he could tell my parents that I actually lost my job and you're just my landlord that I let fuck me! My dad will literally force me to move back here!" I say as my eyes water.

"I'm sorry." Jake says holding my cheek. "I didn't know this meant so much to you."

"It does."

"Well we should make sure they understand nothing's going on."

"Okay." I say finishing my food.

After we finish our food I go into the bathroom to take a shower. I step out of the shower wrapping a towel around me. I dry off and put on my night clothes. I come out of the bathroom to see Jake laying on the bed shirtless flipping through channels on the TV.

I literally feel my insides knot up at the sight of his body.

"What?" He asks not looking at me.

"Nothing. Um is this the only bed here?" I ask looking around.

"Yea why?"

"I mean so we have to sleep in the same bed?"

"Yes it's not like we haven't before."

"I know that but-"

"I know I'm tempting baby but it's okay."

"That's not why."

"Then why?"

"Nevermind." I say walking over to the bed and sitting at the edge of it.

"Why are you all the way down there? Come here." Jake asks kicking my back.

"I like it down here." I say before hearing Jake laugh. "Not like that you perv."

"Come and get under the covers with me. It's very comfortable."

"Ugh I guess." I say going by him and placing my legs under the covers.

"Why are you so far away? I'm not gonna bite."

"I know that."

"Then why are you all the way over there?" He asks scooting closer to me.

"Because I like to have space."
