Free Fake Boyfriend by Evan Kelsey Page A

while still
keeping you on your back." He says, sounding like he's really
thinking about it.
    I snort
and bring my arms around his neck as he carries me to his bed. I
see the rumpled sheets from last night and blush. He lays me down
and kisses my forehead. "Rest." He orders, huskily and I know he's
thinking about last night too.
    I nod and
he leaves, quietly shutting the door. I curl up on my side and try
to block out everything that happened today. Instead, I think about
last night and meeting Ruxin. I fall asleep thinking about his
eyes.
    I feel
hands brushing my hair from my face. I moan and bat at his hands,
knowing its Ruxin. "No. Leave me alone." I demand, not opening my
eyes.
    "You have
to get up and get ready. We have to leave in an hour if we're going
to make it on time."
    I open my
eyes when I smell coffee. I sit up and hold out my hand and he
chuckels as he gives me the mug. I take a drink and I hear him
unzip something. I look and he is taking a dress from a garment
bag.
    "I chose
this one for tonight." He states, showing me a simple dark blue
tailored dress that hits about mid thigh.
    "Okay.
Will you get my purse? My makeup is in it."
    "Sure."
He walks out. I put down my coffee and take my hair out of the bun
and run my fingers through it. I get out of bed, taking my coffee
and the dress to the bathroom. I hang the dress on the back of the
door and wait for my makeup. Ruxin comes in and I notice that he's
already dressed and ready.
    "How much
time do I have?"
    He
smiles, "Will I always have to repeat the things I tell you when
you first wake up? I told you, you have an hour."
    "I'll be
ready in twenty."
    "Come get
me. I'll be in my office." I nod and he leaves.
    I take
out my mascara and loose powder. Which, is the extent of my makeup
regimen.
    After my
makeup I get dressed and look through the drawers of the sink
cabinets trying to find a brush. I finally locate one and brush my
hair in sections. I decide to leave it down because it's
easiest.
    I walk to
his office and hear him on the phone. "Just kill the hype as much
as possible. We're together, end of story." I walk in and he
continues. "I don't care, find a way. No, I won't answer any
questions or do any interviews. Just make the statement again." He
orders and hangs up.
    "Its
ridiculous that this is even news." I say, shaking my head at the
absurdity of the situation.
    "I know,
but it is. You look beautiful, ready?"
    "Yes,
thank you." He stands and we walk to the door. We take the elevator
to the garage to avoid more photos.
    Once
we're in the car I ask, "What's your family like?"
    "Loud. My
mom will talk your ear off and my sister will set to work on the
other. My dad is quiet unless he likes you."
    I smile.
"They sound lovely. Do you think they'll like me?"
    "No,
they'll love you."
    An hour
later I fidget nervously as we drive the nicely paved roads of an
affluent neighborhood with two story homes as big as schools. We
pull up to a gate that opens automatically and we go through. The
driveway is circular with a fountain in the middle and I marvel at
the expense. Ruxin opens the door and helps me out.
    "There's
noting to be nervous about, its just a family get
together."
    "I know.
Its just that I've never met a guys family before. Now I'm meeting
my fake boyfriends family, its a little unnerving. What if they
start to ask questions?" I ask, as we walk to the door.
    He stops
walking and turns to me. "You are mine. There is nothing fake about
us, understood?" I nod my head yes. "Good. If they ask you
questions, then answer them truthfully." He states. I hear the
frustration in his voice and want to argue. Obviously, he wants me
to be a flawless liar and an actress. He starts walking again and I
follow. At the door he doesn't knock, but opens the door
himself.
    I hear
laughter as I step into the home, looking around I see about ten
people. "Ruxin's here!" A woman screams.
    "You
don't have to yell, Kel." Ruxin says, smirking.
    I see his
sister Kelsey walking
