"Why did you drag me out here," I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
"I think I have a way where we can solve both of our problems," he began. "I'm proposing that you be my future bride, and in exchange, I will help fund your research department and your parent's shop however I can."
"Okay, but why me? I mean, you have a horde of women pursuing you. Why not just date one of them?" I asked
"Because they actually want to marry me. You are…decent enough to get the job done," he said with a snide smile on his face.
"We are going to have to work on your complementing skills, I see," I muttered.
"Look, are you in or not?" Grey demanded.
I sighed. There wasn't much of a downside to taking the deal. If anything went wrong, I could always pull out of it, right?
I nodded, "I'm in."

Fake Bride for the Last Bachelor

"Are you excited?" Sharon asked me as we drove to the dress store.


I shrugged, "I guess? It's kind of hard to get excited knowing I won't actually be wearing the dress in the end."


"Yea but everyone likes trying on wedding dresses," Sharon said, trying to rouse me out of my stupor. Ever since last week I had been keeping my distance from Grey, physically and mentally. I was glad that he wasn't coming to the dress appointment though.


Sharon parked across the street from the boutique and I could see Sherly inside, chatting with a young woman. She was wearing a lavender floral print today. 


"Marceline!" Sherly beamed with joy as we walked in. "It's good to see you again, and I see you brought along a friend."


I nodded, "This is my best friend Sharon, I hope it's okay that I brought her."


Sherly waved for us to follow her, "Of course it is dear. Is your mother meeting us here later?"
