SECRET CRUSH : Episode 21 – The End

?SECRET CRUSH?

?EPISODE 22?

Adrian’s POV

Mariel sat on a chair opposite mine, staring at me with a confused expression.

I had told her to be my fake girlfriend, I knew it sounded stupid but she’s my last option. She wasn’t the one i had planned to ask that question it was Tina, a girl that was more like a sister to me, she is Lucas sister. She wanted to help me but she had a dinner party to attend to.

I needed a girl who i don’t feel anything for and who doesn’t feel anything for me, Mariel is just the perfect girl for this job, a girl i had humilated in school can’t feel anything for me. Well, we’re good now.

“So you really want me… to… be your…. fake girlfriend?” She asked confused.

“Umm…. yeah… Mariel you’re my last hope… please do this for me…”

“So… you want me to believe that you’ve gotten o’er Vanessa?” She asked.

“Umm… i might not have but… when i find true love, i can get over her. Maybe” i saïd.

“Why don’t you just find true love and…. stop fooling your parents” she asked.

“Mrs right haven’t arrived… enough of my family… please help me Mariel” i begged.

“Why do you wanna do this” she asked.

“My mom and sis will never let me rest until i prove to them that i’ve gotten over Nessa… and the only way they can accept my proof is by bringing home a girlfriend” he said.

“A fake girlfriend, you mean?” She pouted.

“But it’s just for one day… no harm in it… you don’t love me and i don’t love you.. so we won’t feel anything” he said.

“Huh?”

“You don’t love me…. do you?” I asked.

“Of… of course not, i don’t… love you”

“You see… we won’t even feel anything even when we kiss” I said.

“Wait… what?… you never told me we are gonna ki… kiss” she saïd.

“We’re ain’t kissing, okay. .. no fear… i’m just trying to shed more light on the matter” I said.

“Oh… umm… okay”

“Okay?… does that mean a yes?” I asked..

“Yeah.. yes… i really hope this ends well” she saïd.

“Thanks a lot” i saïd.

“Yeah… so i’ll see you tomorrow” she said and stood up.

“Yeah… tomorrow” i said.

We both walked outside thé shopping mall before we departed after saying goodbyes.

*****Forward*****

It was Sunday, I followed Aunt to church, mom also went with us, she’ll be spending a week with us before going back to Canada.

I prayed for God’s help and guidance.

I know what i wanted to do was risky, the journey would be a tough one.

I ate lunch at home and picked a beautiful mini dress that stopped at my knee. My mom picked the dress for me since i lied to her that I was going on a date.

She picked a blue Flora dress and a blue flat shoe, then i held a gold purse in my hand.

Anytime from now Adrian will be here to pick me.

My mom sat me on my dressing stool and started applying make up on me, even though i told her i wasn’t comfortable with it she insisted i wore it.

When i opened my eyes, i was shocked at the figure i saw in the mirror.

There was a différent me, a me I had only envisioned in my dreams, a me that was never me.

I looked exceptionally beautiful.

“What is this mom… it’s a date not a wedding” i said.

“Yeah baby… you have to look your best… so your guy will hold you tight” she said.

“But i feel like this isn’t me” i said.

“That’s how you’ll be feeling from now on, as long as i’m here”

“Oh… mom….

“Go now baby… your Mr handsome is here… i hear a car horn” she saïd.

“Okay.. mom… i’ll get going now” i said kissing her.

“Yes.. baby.. go and rock it over there” she said and i smiled.

I ran out of thé door and Adrian came out of his car, he looked at me repeatedly and smiled

“You look… pretty Mar…”
