Gabriella had no confidence whatsoever and always stayed to herself. When she's in a cafe, she meets 25 year old Justin. He is in desperate need of a date, no scratch that... a FIANCÉ for his enemy's wedding.
She agrees to help him and be his fake f...
I tossed and turned all night. Come on. I shouldn't accept it. But he said he'd pay me... and that extra money could really help. I mean really really help. I could finally help Sarah pay the last of her books. Or help mom pay some bills.
I don't know how long I slept, but I was awoken by the sound of my phone ringing. Without checking the I.D caller, I answer. "Gabby hello?" "Morning Gabs." "Hi Justin." "I didn't wake you, did I?" "Nooooooooo, why would you think that?" I lied and he heard it. "I'm so sorry Gabs. I thought you'd be up already..." "Nah it's no big deal though... I need to get up anyways..." I laugh so he knows he's not in trouble. "So Gabs... about last night, can I meet you somewhere and talk about it?" "Um Justin, I.." he cut me off. "Please just before you say no, just listen." "Justin, I'll do it, but on my terms." "Wonderful." I could literally feel his smile through my phone. "Meet me at the cafe we were last night in half an hour." "See you then Gabs." I end the call. Well damn. What did I do?
I take a quick shower and do my hair nicely. I put on a cute white top and jean shorts with my sneakers and grab my purse before I head out the door.

When I get to the cafe, Justin is already there and let me just say... he looks so hot. His outfit is so simple, yet so nice. It consists of a dark jean, sneakers and a simple off-white shirt.
He sees me and he stands up to hug me. "Morning Gabs." "Morning J." "I ordered us both espressos and a small breakfast, is that alright?" "Yeah it's fine. I'm starving actually." We both chuckle. "So Gabs... I really need a fiance for a wedding. It's my biggest enemy's wedding and I have to go. It's one thing my father is making me do. He's also made me Rsvp for a plus one. So he kind of said to my enemy that I'll be bringing my fiance... I kind of lied to my parents though..." My eyes get big. "What did you lie about" "My mom wouldn't get off my case about getting a girl so I lied. I said I have been seeing somebody for very long now and that I was ready to propose." He looks so serious. But all I can do is...
LAUGH
He looks at me while I laugh. I see him frown but I'm too busy laughing. I pull myself together 5 seconds after cause the waiter is coming with our food.
After he placed down our food, I say to Justin, "it's kinda your own mess, but I'll help you. So where do we start?"
Through eating we discussed the following:
The wedding is in two weeks. We should go get a ring for me. How we met, how he proposed and so on. We also agreed that he'll pay me $15 000 for these following 2 weeks.
We decided to further more spend every day together if possible just to get as comfortable as possible so no one would get suspicious.
So here we are, 4 hours later, in my apartment, playing 20 questions.
"Hey I know this isn't really part of the game, but why do you need the money so bad?" I did not see this coming. Not at all. I mean I trust Justin but could I tell him?
He'll just think I'm desperate. Well I am, but he doesn't need to know that. I'll just look stupid. I mean I get a decent salary but it still isn't enough. I'll just look greedy.
