"Can i have a cup of coffee please?"asked one of our customers. I looked through my thick , frame glasses and once again did the same routine i've done for the past year. My name is Kristen Thomas and i work at the corner coffee shop. In order to go to photography school and pay off my brother's medical bills i work there past time. Since dad died things have been rough. Mon lost her job,my little brother is very ill and as you can see money is very low. So it was an ordinary day,taking orders and making coffee. I was checking out photography schools in the area and i didn't notice that somebody came in."Ahem!", i looked up to find the most gorgeous man you could ever think of,his brown hair,grey eyes and a chisel jaw."Could i have a capaccino please?" cutting me off of my day dream i took his order and made it. After paying he took it and sat way off in a secluded area. Not to sound like a creep but i watch his every move not to mention his awesome face. His phone rang and when he answered his faced dropped and he stormed out of the store. It was closing time and i was claeaning up, when i noticed he left a tip of one hundred dollars. It felt wrong taking but say what. I walked home thinking how much i miss my dad and how i wish he was still here. Reaching the front door i noticed my good friend Anthony who was in my photography class."Hey Anthony " i greeted him, "Hey Kristen ". "What are you doing here? " i asked."Well....i need a favour.

"And that is why you need a fiance." I listen to my dad go on and on about reasons a future C.E.O needs a fiance."Okay, okay." I hang up once again irritated with my father thinking its time for me to settle down. No, i wanna live my life, jump from girl to girl. I can't do that when I'm married. So i called my best friend Anthony to meet up so i could ask for help ." So your dad said unless you are married you can't be the C.E.O ." "Exactly, but where am i going to find a fiance " i said placing my head in the palms of my head. "Hire somebody ." I looked at Anthony and he looked at me, " what? ". "If you hire somebody you could make your dad happy and you could just break i off saying you had a fall out and she could move on and BAM your the ner C.E.O of the company ." Anthony looked at me and i looked at him." Okay,but who? ". "Don't worry i know someone" Anthony watched me with this evil grin and that is when i regretted saying yes.

"Wait so you want me to pretend to be your friend's fiance for eighr months so he could become the C.E.O." when Anthony came over he asked if i could help him with his friend." Yes, give me a call when you make up your mind. " "okay." With that i went inside."Kristen!" My brother ran towards me and gave me a big hug. You see my brother have haemophilia an it makes it hard for him to play as much. So when Anthony came to me and said he would be offering alot of money to help hia friend i couldnt refuse. So i call him back and said yes. "Perfect so i will pick you and we will go to the company." Anthony answered.
Everything is falling into place. With the money i could pay for my brother's treatment and me going to school.the next day i woke up early to get ready. On my bed i lay out a navy blue blazer, a white short dress and white sandals. After bathing i got dressed and decided i would put hair in a high bun. I put on eyelinet and.mascara even though you can't see it through my glasses and i applied pink glasses. If you thinking why i'm dolling up i want to make an impression. I heard the car horn and i grabbed my camera since i carry it everywhere and my purse. I kiss my mother and brother goodbye. When i got in the car Anthony told me how his friend whose name is Blake is very hard to talk to may seem cold.and distant. I wonder if the reason is sonething to di with his family. "We're here" Anthony exclaimed. I look out to find a very tall building knowing that they must have alot of money. When we entered Anthony walked up to the secretary. "Hey Edith." "Hey Anthony,Mr.Jackson is ready to see you." My hands started to tremble and became cold and clammy with sweat. We entered a very posh office with the most fantastic view. "Hey Blake,look who i brought." The big office chair spun around and you wouldn't believe it. "You!",he looked at me " You!",i looked at him, "Us! ",Anthony looking at both of us. I couldn't believe my fake fiance is the gorgeous coffee dude.
