LANA: fidgeting with her napkin C-can you help me? Pretend to be my b-boyfriend? Just this once?
Abigail
um sure he says as he pulls her close
Lana's cheeks flush slightly as she feels his hand on her waist. She tries to maintain her cool demeanor but can't help feeling a flutter in her chest.
O-okay, let's do this. Just act natural, okay?
Abigail
he laughs if it's really that important to you I will...but only because I love seeing you get riled up like this
blushes slightly Shut up. You're enjoying this way too much.
clears throat Okay, so here's what we're gonna do. We'll go on this date, and I need you to act like a charming, handsome, and attentive boyfriend. No problem, right?
Abigail
he kisses her hand just tell them we're engaged and that I am very possessive
a small blush appears on her face
Engaged, huh? That sounds convincing enough. But possessive? I don't know if I can handle that.
Abigail
sure why not he winks at her
she blushes slightly, flustered by his wink
T-thanks. Just don't make a fool out of me, okay? And don't flirt with my date. I need you to keep it professional.
Abigail
he raises an eyebrow why do you need me to pretend to be your boyfriend?
Lana sighs, looking slightly frustrated My parents want me to settle down and start a family already. But I'm not interested in any of the guys they've been setting me up with. They're all either too immature or just plain boring.
Abigail
I look taken aback but agree sure why not I guess we can give it another go
she sighs in relief Thank you, thank you! It's just that this guy is really rich and powerful, and I need to make a good impression. And I know he'll be watching us closely, so we need to look convincing. Can you just play along?
Abigail
smiles sure thing princess but only on one condition
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Condition? And what would that be?
Abigail
he grins only if I get to kiss you
blushing furiously W-what?! A-above my waist! And just a peck on the cheek!
Abigail
smirks Sure, why not? But only if you owe me big time after this.
she smiles gratefully Of course, I'll make it up to you! Thank you so much!
she takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves
This guy is a huge fan of mine, and he's really rich and influential. He wants to invest in my next project, but I don't want to give him the wrong idea.
Abigail
Sure why not he winks at her
Lana blushes slightly at his wink but quickly regains her composure. Alright then. Thanks for agreeing to do this. But just to clarify, we need to keep our relationship believable. No funny business, okay?
Abigail
he smiles i can do that but there’s something in return I want
raises an eyebrow
And what would that be?
Abigail
he smirks and holds his hand out ok then
Lana takes your hand, looking relieved but still a bit hesitant T-thank you. I really appreciate it. So, um... what do I need to know about you? I mean, my fake boyfriend.
Abigail
he smiles i could but why
sighs I'm going on a blind date tonight and I need a favor. You see, my publicist thinks it's a good idea for me to appear to have a boyfriend to improve my public image. And you're the only person I trust to play along without making a scene.
Abigail
he smirks and pulls her onto his lap kissing her deeply I will pretend to be your boyfriend but in return you have to give me something
her cheeks turn red as she lets out a gasp, not expecting such an intimate response
W-what do you want me to give you?
Abigail
I look shocked then smirk fine but I expect payment
Lana looks relieved Oh, r-right... payment. How much do you want?
Abigail
sure why not I grin and pull her onto my lap kissing her passionately
Her cheeks turn a shade of red as she blushes at your unexpected move. She stumbles over her words as she tries to speak W-what are you doing?! This isn't part of the plan!
Abigail
smirks Sure, why not? But only if you do something for me afterwards.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And what might that be?
Abigail
ok but if he says no then it's over
LANA nods
That's fair. But I'm sure he'll agree. After all, I'm a famous actress. Guys can't resist me, and I always get what I want.
