My Fake Lover

“Only if you come with me.” He said.

“No.” I said with a disgusted expression.

“Then no.” He copied my tone.

“Please Tyler. I can’t deal with you right now. I already told you I’m not going to your house for dinner to trick your dad into thinking that we’re together. Cause that would be lying and-” he cut off my rant.

“Like you never lied before.” He rolled his eyes. “Plus it’s also for my dads girlfriend.”

That’s so sad, since it’s a reminder of his mom. His mom was like a second mother to me.

“That doesn’t change anything.” I walked up to the living room sofa and sat down with my arms crossed over my chest.

“Your so stubborn!” He said, frustrated.

“And your so annoying!” I shot back.

“I guess I’m going to be staying for a while.” Tyler sat himself on the sofa across from me and put his feet resting up the coffee table and put his hands under his neck.

“Oh, make yourself comfortable.” I said sarcastically, with an eye roll.

“Thanks.” He said with a boyish smile.

I snuck my younger put at him and shook my head like a little kid. That only made him chuckle, looking at me as if I’m so immature.

He has to give up sooner or later. I mean, he has to, right?

If my mom finds him here, she’s never going to stop talking about it. Since she’s always been joking around that we’ll some day be together. Please, like that’s even possible.

‘ The ones who don’t get along, are the ones who belong.’ Is something she always likes to say. Life is not always a story with a happy ending.

But there is one thing that can come good out of this fake girlfriend plan Tyler is trying to pull off. I told Jeremy I had a boyfriend. And I can actually tell him it’s Tyler. If I do Tyler a favor, he owes me one. And if Jeremy thinks we’re together, he’d be so mad that he would tell me every secret that he thinks will get me angry.

That’s what he said at Courtney’s house, ‘You know, I’m done. I’m done keeping this secret. And if their is absolutely no chance of getting Lexi back, then I’m going to tell her everything!’ It kinda sounds like he’s telling her to get me to go out with him again.

I have to know what it is. That’s “secret”. Even if it will hurt me. I have to know. And Courtney had really been acting weird lately.

And then I have to accept his favor. Plus, he’s not going to leave my house.

“Fine.” I said and picked myself up from the sofa. “I’ll do it. Only if you return a favor for me.”

“Deal.” He shrugged. “Be there at six.” He said and walked to the door.

“I don’t have a car. How am I supposed to get there?”

“You have friends, figure something out.” He said carelessly and left out the door.

Jerk.

••••••••••

I woke up by a loud sound. I looked around to see that it came from the TV.

I must’ve fallen asleep while I watching pretty little liars. Now some weird show was on that I don’t recognize.

I reached for the remote that was laying on my nightstand and turned the TV off. I put the remote back next to my alarm clock.

“Crap!” I cussed and jumped off my bed. It’s half past five! I have to be at Tyler’s by six.

I quickly went in my closet and changed out of my sweat pants and hoodie.

I don’t really need to look nice since it isn’t a real date. So I just put on a pair of black leggings that was the ‘Pink’ brand. So it had the word ‘Pink’ in white bold letters on the top sides of the pants. And I also through on- wait. I do have to look at least a little bit nice since the point of this is to trick Tyler’s dad and soon to be step mother that we are in a real date.

So I put the boring top I was going to where down and put on a nice baby blue top that goes tight up until my waist and it flows to my hips.

“Better.” I said to myself. I walked up to my mirror. Since I don’t have time to take a shower or even brush my hair I put my hair in a high bun.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

I put on my black leather jacket and my black Uggs.

When I went down stairs and out to the drive way, that’s when I remembered that I don’t have a ride there.

I pulled my phone out out my jacket pocket and called Emily.

“Hey Lex!” Emily said excitedly.

“Hey, why do you sound so happy?” I asked.

“I’m waiting for my dad to pick me up! We’re buying a puppy!” She squealed and I just could picture her jumping up and down like she usually did when she squealed.

“Oh okay.” I mumbled.

“Did you need something?” She asked,

“Uh no, I forgot why I called. I’ll just talk to you later.” I hanged up.

Dammit.

I called Courtney but she didn’t even answer her phone! I was already too mad at her.

Then I got a text from her. ‘Sorry, can’t talk 2 u right now. I’m at volley practice.’

That’s understandable. I forgot about her volleyball team. And the coach doesn’t let them use their phones at all.

I kicked the people that was sitting in my driveway out of madness.

I guess I have to walk. Even though it’s freezing. And I think its going to rain. And I’m already late. I pulled my hair out of its bun due to the freezing weather. Then I ran my fingers through it, trying it to make it more presentable.

I started walking. Tyler’s house isn’t that far from here.

I looked up at the dark clouds moving together and a rain drop hit my lip.

“Ah!” I wiped my mouth.

After about two minutes of walking, it started pouring. It was raining hair.

“Shit, shit.” I started running.

I didn’t even have a hoodie to pull over so now my hair is soaking wet.

I continued running until I finally was stabbing I front of Tyler’s amazingly beautiful house. I almost forgot how big it was.

It’s like a mansion compared to my tiny house. He must feel uncomfortable in my house if he’s used to this one.

How can his life be so perfect? He has the looks, the popularity, the ladies, and the money?

But there’s actually two things not perfect about him. His personality. And his careless heart.

I ran to the front door and rang the door bell. One of the servants answered it. I quickly walked in before he even got the chance to let me in.

After I was inside he looked me up and down. I looked down and noticed that my boots were all muddy, my clothes where all wet, and my hair was soaked as it stuck to my neck.

“I-Um, had to walk.” I put on a fake smile.

He smiled back at me. “It’s no matter, we’ve been expecting you.”

He walked away as I just stood at the hallway, examining all the pictures of Tyler when he was a little boy. He has the sweetest smile any little boy can ever have. I never seen that smile since his mother passed away.

“Lexi?” A young woman and Tyler’s father came up to me, with Tyler also by there side looking board as ever.

“That’s me.” I smiled back at Tyler soon to be mother. I don’t know what to call her.

She had long blonde hair and dark blue eyes. But she was just beautiful.

“Hi, I’m Melissa.” She had gave me a bright smile.

“Hi Melissa.” I replied.

“Hey Lexi. I’ve never seen you in a long while.” Tyler’s dad smiled at me. “Nice to see you.”

“Nice to see you to Mr. Evans.” I said.

“Please, you can still call me Tim.”

“Oh honey, your soaked. Your going to get sick. Come with me so I can give you some warm clothes.” Melissa told me.

I nodded. And when we passed by Tyler, I whispered to him so only her was a me to hear. “This family is so nice, it just doesn’t fit you, now does it?” I could help but to smile, looking at Tyler glaring face
