Scott

I was on my way to Kelly's house, after leaving the coffee shop I drove straight to her place. Kelly is a journalist so I know how her Sundays go, Coffee, TV and sleep. It is currently 2pm and as I know her, she's watching After on her couch right now.

I park in front of her small house and walk in. She never locks the door and I've talked to her about it times without number but she is stubborn as heck. I take off my shoes and walk into the living room and as I called it, she's sitting on the couch covered with blankets with a glass of OJ in her hand and watching After.

She turns her head immediately she hears the door and her smile makes my heart flutter. I walk towards her and kiss her cheek "Hey babe"

"I thought you were coming tonight, you said we were having dinner"

I nodded "Yeah but I wanted to see you"

She smiled again and shook her head "You're obsessed with me"

I gave her a cheeky grin "That I am"

"Well what do you want to do? Want to watch After with me?"

I shook my head "Babe you've seen that movie more than a hundred times"

She rolls her eyes "After is awesome and Hardin is a hottie"

I smirked "Hotter than me?"

She paused and raked her eyes over me " Oh yeah, one hundred percent"

I gasped and touched my chest " I'm hurt, so if he comes right and and proposes you'd leave me for him?"

" In a heartbeat but we both know that's not gonna happen anytime soon babe" she chuckled as she kissed me

"Come snuggle with me" she lifted the blanket so I could come in. I moved closer to her and wrapped my arms around her.

Kelly sighed " Now you can tell me why you're really here"

She knew me so well "What can't a guy come surprise his girlfriend?"

"Scott you know what I mean, did something happen?"

I sighed "Yes, I came here to talk to you about it"

We both sit up and she grabs the remote and switches off the TV "Is it something serious?"

I nod " It is"

She frowned "Well what is it? Tell me"

I bit back a smile, she's always been impatient and her job didn't help at all.

"Scott is it about us? Did your parents find out?"

I shook my head "No they didn't"

She nodded "So what is it?"

"My marriage has been fixed with someone else"

Kelly's eyes went wide "Marriage?"

I nodded and watched her reaction, she frowned then started laughing.

"That's a nice joke Scott, good one"

"It's not a joke Kelly, my marriage has been fixed"

She looked at me and nodded "Who is she?"

"Her name is Aria Johnson, daughter of Noah Johnson"

She looked confused "Noah Johnson of Johnson's and Co? He has a daughter?"

I nodded "Yeah, she's pretty private"

Kelly closes her eyes and bites her lip "You're going to marry her?" She opens her eyes and I already see tears in them.

"We need to expand our market value Kelly, our loss last year is still affecting the company and with their help we can get that. I have to"

She looks at me with angry eyes "You have to?! Can you hear yourself? You're telling your girlfriend that you're going to marry another woman for God's sake!"

"Kelly I have no other option, I don't want to do this either!"

"Then don't do it! You're a grown man Scott, you should pick your own wife not your parents"

I was really trying to be calm but Kelly wasn't making this easy. I grab her arm and pull her closer to me "Kelly look at me"

She refuses and closes her eyes as tears roll down her cheek, I cup her cheeks and plant a kiss on her forehead "Kelly please"

She slowly opens her eyes and looks into mine "Did you just come here to break up with me?"

I shook my head "Of course not Kelly, I love you"

"But you're going to marry another woman?" She pushes away from me and turns her back to me "I think you should leave Scott"

I frown "I'm not leaving Kelly, we need to talk about this. I love you"

"Well if you did then you wouldn't agree to marry someone else!"

I was getting pissed off "I told you I had no other choice"

"Oh everyone has a choice Scott!"

"Well what I supposed to tell them?! That I have a girlfriend who has made our relationship a secret for three years and has no intention of revealing it anytime soon?!"

She walks towards me and jabs a finger into my chest "You will not pin the blame on me Scott! You know why I wanted our relationship to be a secret! Your parents would never want me to be a journalist running around. And I refuse to be some trophy wife!"

"Oh yeah I remember! Your job is more important than I am! You can't sacrifice it to be with me! Some girlfriend you are!"

She stared at me silently "Please leave"

I sighed "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that. I lost my temper"

She folds her arms across her chest and looks away "What do you want me to do Scott? Wait here while you get married and have kids?"

"I just- i-i can't disappoint my dad, I know how stressed he has been since last year and we really need this merge"

"And a marriage is the only way? This isn't the historical times Scott, of course there's another reason"

I shrugged "Dad said the Johnson's suggested it and he had to accept it"

She looked up at me "So now what? Do we break up?"

"God no, I'm in love with you Kelly not her. I just need you to wait for me please. Once the wedding is done I can make up some crazy story that'll call for a divorce"

She didn't look convinced "And how long will all this take?"

"The wedding is in 6 months so probably a year after the wedding"

"Won't that arouse suspicion?"

"Kim Kardashian was married to Chris Humphrey for what 50 days? People get divorced all the time, it's no big deal"

She nodded "What about her? Does she know about me?"

I pulled her into my arms " I'm getting to that, I'm going to make it clear that we're having a fake relationship for the public. She doesn't want this too anyway"

"Poor girl" Kelly murmured as she buried her face in my chest.

"I'm still working on making her my friend first, she's a very different person"

Kelly finally pulled away "Okay"

"Okay what?"

"I'll wait for you"

My face could have split from my smile. I grab her waist and twirl her around before dropping her and kissing her " Thank you so much Kelly, I promise you won't regret this"

"I hope so too"

I pulled her into another kiss and she jumped and wrapped her legs around my waist and we headed towards her bedroom.
