"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

I stood in front of the floor-length mirror and adjusted my tie, smoothing back my hair. After the bachelor party, none of my friends decided to stay. So, when I heard a knock at the door I was surprised. Opening the door though, I was even more surprised to find Marceline standing there.


"Hey," she said softly, giving me a small smile.


"I thought I wasn't supposed to see you until you walked down the aisle," I smiled back and let her in.


"Well, you've already seen me in my dress so I didn't think there was any harm," she commented and I watched her nervously fiddle with her hands before she sat down on the bed.


"Is everything ok?" I asked, coming to sit next to her.


"Just a bit of nerves really," she said, still fiddling.


I put both of my hands over hers and held them. "There's no need to be nervous."


"But what if Stacy tries to do something again?" Marceline asked.
