The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 100

When I was talking to Rosie about the lie I made up, I thought she was going to end whatever friendship we had. I thought I was going to lose her forever, but the way she reacted surprised the hell out of me. I couldn't believe that she agreed to fake-date me. The joy and excitement I have inside of me should not exist because, at the end of the day, this is all nothing but an act. To her, not to me. When I look at the whole thing, I see it as an amazing opportunity that life has decided to grant me. Even if this is all nothing but pretending to her, I know that it's not like that to me. It's me getting the chance to imagine that she is truly mine. It's my chance to show her that I can be good for her. I may not be the best one out there to deserve her heart, but I know that I can try to be my best for her sake. I'm willing to do anything to see her smile.

She may have agreed out of boredom, but I will show her that I can be the one for her. I just have to do it all subtly and the thing is, my feelings are never subtle when it comes to Rosie. I have always thought that I had great control over myself, but I guess I lose whatever control I think I have whenever my eyes fall on her. I completely lost it when I kissed her. But how was I supposed, to stop myself from doing that when she looked flawless in that blue dress? How was I supposed to move away from her when holding her felt so right? I think she regrets kissing me, but that kiss is a moment I want to remember forever. She has the ability to accelerate my heartbeats. I'm sure that she knows nothing about this, but she is the only girl who has ever had this effect on me. When I'm with her, I want to stop time because I don't want her to leave. A simple smile from her makes my day a hundred times better. I take a deep breath and ring her doorbell. Today, she's going to meet my teammates for the first time, and I have a feeling that I'm way more nervous than her. She doesn't take long to open the door, and I forget how to breathe when I look at her. She is dressed in a short off-white skirt and a maroon long-sleeved tight top that shows the beauty of her collarbones. Her hair is pulled up in a bun, displaying her long neck and all I want is to kiss that sweet neck of 1/5

"Do I look okay?" she wonders, twirling around.

"More than okay. You're absolutely gorgeous," I say as I walk inside her apartment.

"Thank you." Her cheeks redden as she walks by my side. She is too short compared to me, but I love her height. "I'm just going to put on my boots, then we can go." She strolls to her bedroom, and I take a seat on one of the bar chairs. She doesn't take long and comes back within a minute in some high boots that add more to the beauty of her outfit.

"So," I start nervously. "I don't want to take you off guard, but since we're going to act like a couple, expect me to kiss you or wrap my arms around you from time to time."

"You don't I need t to warn me, Silas. I know that this is going to happen," she assures me as she grabs her bag from the couch. "Let's go."
