PROMISE ME

IN HIS OFFICE

Fiona's POV

I was busy humming 'Forever We Are Love' as I left the bathroom. I walked to the dressing table, sitting in font of it as I dried my hair. As I looked at myself, I remembered the kiss yesterday and that was enough to bring a slow but sure smile on my lips. I continued humming the song, as I got ready to see him again in his office. Every time I thought about him, my heart started fluttering and I loved that feeling.

I wore a sleeveless neon blue top with a v-neck, a pair of dark tight jeans and black converse. I put on light strawberry lip gloss over the pink lipstick and light blue eye-shadow over my eyes. I let my hair flow and looked at myself, making sure I was perfect.

I went down to the kitchen and found my mum and dad eating their breakfast. After the concert, Sebastian had volunteered to drive me to my parents' and through the whole journey, he didn't say anything mean or horrible. He didn't even talk about the kiss which made me a hundred percent sure he had feelings for me, which made me have feelings for him.

"Princess....you suddenly are glowing." My dad said and I only smiled at him. "I wonder if it was about what happened yesterday that is making you so happy." Mum said and I kissed her cheek before kissing my dad's.

"I'm going to see Sebastian for the wedding plans. It won't take long." I told them as I walked out of the kitchen.

"Darling, have breakfast at least, " my mum called for me while I was at the door.

"Later mum, " I said before closing the door behind me. I got into the limo which was waiting. "To the Rockwell company Steve." I said, excitement taking the better part of me and I could hardly wait to see him again.

Sebastian's POV

I really don't know what made me do it. All I remember is that as soon as I was announced the winner, I was so excited. As soon as Fiona came close, I hugged her, relieved that I hadn't lost her. I proposed to her and she accepted. Hearing her say yes and noting the true smile on her face made me even happier and as I hugged her again, her lips seemed to be calling me, to taste them. As soon as I kissed her, I realised she tasted like raspberry and strawberry, too sweet for me to part from.

After the concert, I thought about what I had done and agreed to correct my mistake by talking to her in the car. As soon as we were alone, I kept on looking at her, trying to gain courage to talk rudely and hurt her feelings but one look at her lips and I was thrown off track.

Today, I have to rectify everything. As I sat behind my desk, flashbacks of the kiss appeared in my mind and no matter how much I tried to concentrate on my work, her image kept appearing. I shut my laptop and ran my fingers through my hair before walking out and looking outside my office.

As I continued seeing her image, I understood that she had squeezed her way into my heart, something that I had to avoid before she finally made me fall for her. No Sebastian, you can't possibly fall for her. You mustn't.

I heard a knock at my door and I answered with a come in as I  turned to the door. Fiona walked in, a smile on her face as soon as she saw me. That smile was enough to make me smile back but I tried hard to keep a straight face. She walked up to me and hugged me. It took me more strength to fight hugging her back and I could hear my subconscious yell at me, 'Stop fighting and hug her back. It's obvious that she wants you as much as you want her.'

"Hope I'm not late dear," she said and the word dear was enough to make my heartbeat accelerate. "Fiona," I called her and she let me go, looking at me with her beautiful sky blue eyes.

"What happened yesterday," I started, not sure I would have the guts to finish it, "it was all acting. So don't expect me to continue treating you with love. Remember that this relationship is purely because of an agreement and not because of love."

Fiona's POV

I looked at him in confusion. Why on earth would he say this today when he didn't say a word yesterday? I shook my head and sat in front of his desk.

"I understand what's happening Sebastian, and I'm fine with your on and off switch." I meant everything I said and he looked at me coldly before sitting down. "I don't have an on an off switch."

"Sure you don't. You are loving this minute and the next you are so cold. What would yo call that Mr Sebastian?"

"I don't have time for your nonsense Fiona. Let's get to business."
And I can't believe the cold Sebastian is back. I felt sad but it reminded me the reason why he was agreeing to this marriage and whether I liked it or not, I would have to accept that he would never learn to love me.

He handed me a list of names and I looked at them. "There are the names of the best chefs, wedding planners and dress designers in the world. Pick out the names and tell me once you are done. Since the engagement party will be this week, our wedding will be held next week. I will choose the church but you will choose the venue. "

I looked up to him before looking back at the list. "Fiona, are you even listening to me?" I nodded my head and he sighed. "Sebastian, why go through all that trouble of getting the best and having a church wedding? Can't we just see an attorney?" I asked even though I loved the idea of a church wedding since I had dreamed of it since I was nine.

"It seems that you don't know the meaning of acting. You should check it up on Google." He said as he stood up. "Oh, I know the meaning of acting. It's just that I don't know your meaning of acting." I said as I stood up and left his office.
