I snort. “Why do I get the feeling you don’t make it to the ‘meet the parents’ phase a lot?”
His grin falls and he just stares at me and says, “No dessert for you.”
I laugh and say, “I’m way too full anyway.”
When he drops me off that night, he is a gentleman. He walks me to the door. The porch light is on, and I can just imagine mom’s eyes on us. I turn to look at him and for a moment, I don’t know what to say.
“I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then,” he says softly. “As my future bride.” He grins.
I laugh, “You forgot the wordfake!”
His gaze lingers on mine a moment longer and then he slowly walks back to his car and drives away.
I unlock the door and go inside, heading straight for my basement bedroom with the realization that I didn’t hate dinner with him.
But I still don’t like him.
That much.
Chapter Eight
HARVEY
I’mrelievedElsadoesn’thate me anymore.
I never thought I’d feel this way, but I’m actually getting excitedto show her off to my family. I think we can pull this off.
I’m not going to lie; I had a fun time last night with her. She’s pretty comfortable to be around and the time flew by. I love the way her brown eyes light up when she laughs.
And that was the best damn pizza I’ve ever had in my life.
I enjoyed opening up to her about my family and sharing their photos and little stories with her. And the way she listened and asked questions made me feel like she cared. It was refreshing.
The truth is I wanted to kiss her last night. She looked so sexy in that little black dress. Hell, I wanted to do more than that, but the fact that it was her parents’ house kept me in check.
I guess it’s not a bad thing if I am attracted to my fake fiancé right?
It will help sell it.
I check my phone and see a torrent of texts from Parker.
It’s as if he can hear my thoughts or something.
Bro you better take care of my sister.
Don’t make me regret this!
I laugh to myself. Parker always freaks out about stuff.
Chill, dude. I’ll make sure she’s comfortable and watch out for her.
I can already see him texting me back.
You better. If anything happens to her, I’ll never forgive you.
I just sigh and text him again.
I appreciate your help. I owe you one man.
