Did I hear that right?
Did he just ask me to pretend to be his girlfriend?
"Sorry what?" I asked.
"While she's here with her fiancé, I'm going to look pathetic if I don't have anyone." He said.
"I don't know if you've noticed but I'm awkward." I said, panicking for some reason. "I'm not something she'll be jealous of."
"Well, it's not like you're the prettiest girl out there.." He started.
"What a great start to the sentence." I said sarcastically. I didn't even realize but now I was pacing around the garden.
"But there are people who can make you look better." He said.
"That's not the only problem." I said, a little louder than I intended.
"Well then, what else?" He asked.
"I already told you I'm awkward." I said.
"Well, some people find that endearing." He said. "Who knows? Maybe people will think you're cute?"
"I still don't feel comfortable doing this." I said, sitting back down on the bench.
He came and knelt in front of me.
"Please. It's just for a week. And at the end, I will do anything you ask me. I'll double your pay." He said.
"Why do you even care if she's getting married?" I asked. "You're not together anymore. Just live your life."
"I know for sure that she's bringing her fiancé to rub him in my face. I need her to know that she's not the only one who moved on so fast and found somebody else." He said.
"Technically she is though." I said.
"But only you and I know that." He said. "So can you do it?"
"Alright." I gave up. "But we're ending this the moment she leaves, not a minute late."
"Yes ma'am." He said. "By the way, we're gonna have to tell my parents before they arrive so be prepared for that."
What did I just get myself into?
