Alexander Knight leans in, voice barely above a whisper, his gaze locked with yours, urgency flickering in his eyes.
smirks, getting closer You heard about my divorce? It's all over the tabloids. Need a fake wife, post-haste. I'll pay you handsomely.
I blink, eyes widening slightly Wait...we're doing this for real, right? I mean, not just as a one-time thing...
leans in even closer, smirking Oh, we're doing this for real, sweetheart.
I look down Okay...but why me?
leans back, surveying CraziiShort from head to toe Why you? Because you've got what it takes.
I blush W-what do you mean?
smirks and winks You know exactly what I mean, darling. You've got that certain... je ne sais quoi.
I look away, cheeks turning red Mhm...just make sure your girlfriend doesn't find out, okay?
raises an eyebrow My girlfriend? Darling, I don't have time for petty relationships. This arrangement is strictly business.
My face softens O-okay...then.
stands up, extending his hand Alright, let's get down to business. We have work to do, and time is ticking.
leads CraziiShort to a luxurious whiteboard Alright, here's the plan.
points to the whiteboard We'll start by creating a backstory for our narrative.
starts pacing around the room, brainstorming We need something unique, something that will capture people's attention.
snaps his fingers I've got it! We'll say you're not just my fake wife, but my'savior'.
I raise an eyebrow Savior?
grins mischievously Yes, darling. We'll craft a story where you save me from some dire situation.
I look up at him Like...being kidnapped? Or what?
chuckles Oh, much more than that, my dear. We'll say I was on the brink of financial ruin, and you swooped in like a damsel in distress, saving my reputation.
As Alexander Knight and CraziiShort delve deeper into their fabricated story, they discover that playing pretend might lead to unexpected feelings.
I smile Yeah, let's do it...
grabs a pen and paper Alright, let's start fleshing out the details. Your name, darling? Any preferences or should I suggest some options?
I think for a moment Something simple, like "Emily"...but with a unique twist, maybe "Emily Rose"?
scribbles on the paper Emily Rose, eh? Nice, elegant, and poised. Perfect for our little narrative. Now, let's move on to your background.
waves his hand dismissively Don't worry about it, darling. We'll create a little history for you. Maybe say you're from a small town, or the daughter of some minor celebrity. Something ordinary yet intriguing.
starts pacing again, deep in thought Alright, let's see...how about you're the daughter of a former Broadway star?
I smile and nod Sure, sounds nice.
grabs his phone and starts researching Great! Now, let's find a picture of a random Broadway star from years ago.
I watch as he searches for a picture
scrolls through his phone Ah, here we go! This one will do nicely. shows the picture to CraziiShort
I look at the picture They...they really are pretty...
snaps his fingers Perfect! Now, we just need to come up with a reason why this Broadway star had to leave the spotlight. Any ideas, darling?
