WILL YOU DO ME A FAVOUR

6. FAKE RELATION BUT REAL CHEMISTRY

Picking up my metallic-gold slim fit, off shoulder frock and matching golden long earrings, I walked closer to my full length mirror. Will it suit me? I bit my lips nervously.

I thought of asking someone if I looked good in this dress but took a step back, fearing their suspicious looks and non-stop questions.

My gaze flicked to the more formal dress further along the closet rail, but then I remembered what Abir had said to me today morning before I even woke up. I expected him to ask about my health but all he said was "Don't dress as my PA, Sweetheart. Wear what you'll pick for a date, not what you'd wear for a business dinner with me or for a business meeting with me."

I hesitatingly picked up a black shimmering dress, I had bought the same dress in red for me but Anaisha, my dear sister took it from me and threw this black dress on me. Should I wear this?

Gold or black, I was bored wearing black and picked up the gold. I picked up the gold dress again in my hand and gave it a firm nod. Yes, this would do.

I'd throw on a light layer of makeup, add some jewelry, maybe curl the ends of my hair and leave it down. I decided not to tie my hair as Abir preferred it being loose.

I dressed myself in the golden dress. I bit the corner of my lip. It was sexy yet elegant, even with the thigh slit, and a low neck. I loved it. But I'd never worn anything like this before in front of Abir, my boss. It would feel weird.

Blowing out a strong breath, I tried to control my nervousness. I know it's my first date and I need not be nervous here because it isn't real. I'm not in need to impress him, I'm not going to meet a stranger here and I fairly know him well, at least that's what I'm thinking. Yet, I was nervous.

Wow! I'm going on a fake date with my soon to be fake husband.

I raised the colour of my lips and I walked a little closer to my mirror. I was looking adorable. I didn't use the blushers, my cheeks automatically raised its colour and I was nervous thinking what will happen, if he finds out I have a little crush on him. Little? Yes, just a little crush.

Abir chased his every single PA who had a crush on him. He didn't like any women flirting with him and if he finds out I'm having a crush on him, then my job is at risk.

Hopefully I'd do just as good, like I have always done in hiding my crush on him, when we were living together too. God! Was I really going to marry Abir? Was I really going to stand in front of him for twenty-four hours a day within ten weeks' time? Was I really going to be his fake wife for an entire year?

Yes, apparently, I was.

I received a call from Abir, "I'm ready. Waiting for you, Abir" I said the moment I attended his call.

"Abir will take an hour to reach your place as he got a sudden meeting today." I heard the receptionist. Maybe it was also one of the scripts written by him in the second mission.

"I can wait."

Before I could end the call, she said. "He has saved your name as Precious, Mishtuuu."

That's when I recognized the owner of the voice. It was Lily, I didn't speak to her much but she always helped me in avoiding my late attendance.

I went down and sat on the small lawn in my apartment. I needed some fresh air to feel pleasant. I looked at a few kids playing around me and their moms following them.

Mom, if you didn't like my dad. Why do you have to leave me? I'll never be like you mom and I'll be the best mom for my child. A child needs her mom no matter what.

I sensed a tiny hand against my cheeks. Awe! A three and half year old kid was wiping my tears. "Cutie, what are you doing here?" I carried the baby girl and made her sit on my lap.
