1.) Lila Green I know we just met, he said softly and her heartbeat kicked up, what on Earth could he be about to say, but can I ask you for a monumental favor?

When my eyes met his they sparkled as well as pleaded with her what have I gotten myself into she thought.

“What’s the favor?” she asked cautiously.

“Well my ex-girlfriend is here,” he exhales quickly, “and she has been showing up here parading around her new boyfriend and being an all-around nuisance so I was wondering if you would pretend to be my girlfriend so that maybe she will finally leave me alone.”

Excerpts:

2.) “Kiss me,” she whispered, leaning forward on her tiptoes resting a hand on his chest tipping her head back to make it easier.

When his eyes locked on hers they were widened and surprised however that reaction was short-lived as he gave her a small nod and leaned down closer to rest his forehead against hers.

“Are you sure?”

Instead of answering with words she reached up and wrapped her free arm around his neck pulling his lips down to hers. His lips are warm and soft and taste like Earl Grey tea. At first their kiss was soft and tender but then she felt his tongue flick against her lips and she opened for him and the hand on her waist tightened bringing their bodies closer together.
