“Why do I feel like you’re going to punish me?” Aaron asked with his voice shaking.
“Oh Aaron I’m not going to punish you.” Lacey said running her fingertips over his arms.
Ok, don’t get jealous. It’s not real.
“Kristen, I swear I’m not doing this.” He said.
“Are you enjoying it?” Lacey asked seductively.
Aaron looked at me and quickly answered “No! No, I’m not!”
“Good.” I said staring at him coldly.
“Kristen, are you jealous?” She asked me.
“Of course not.” I lied.
She laughed.
“Ok, here’s the deal.” Lacey said going back to her normal tone. “My mother thinks I’m straight. She’s having a fashion show next Saturday and I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend.”
“Yes!” He answered to eagerly.
I looked at him with pure hatred.
“I mean, yes I will pretend to be your boyfriend.” He said as he put his head down.
“Yay!” Lacey yelled. “There will be rules though! I’ll explain them to you later. Just come with me tomorrow to go pick out your tuxedo.”
“Oh a tux! I look pretty damn irresistible in a tux!” He said as he winked at Lacey.
“Don’t push it man!” I yelled and stepped towards him.
Lacey shot up from the couch and put her hand on my chest. “Stop.” She whispered in my ear.
I looked into her eyes and stepped back.
“Rule number one,” Lacey said. “No touching, fondling or kissing. We are simply going to hold hands and pose for pictures.”
“That’s no fun.” He whined.
I took a deep breathe and said “I swear Aaron you touch her in any inappropriate way, I will kick your ass into next year!” I said trying not to shout.
“Aaron I think it’s time for you to go.” Lacey said.
“Yea, I’ll see you later. Kristen, calm down. I was just playing around.” He said as he headed out the door.
Lacey shut and locked the door, turned around and looked at me.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know what got into me.” I said as I put my head down.
She came up to me and lifted my head to the point where I looked into her eyes.
“I hate jealousy. I need you to know that you can trust me.” She said
“You? Lacey of course I trust you. It’s him I don’t trust.”
“I know. That’s why I’m taking you. Kristen, I love you.”
I looked at her.
She laughed. “You know when I was stroking Aaron’s arms I was thinking about you.” She said as she stroked my arm and bit her bottom lip.
I couldn’t help but smile “Lacey.” I simply said.
“Am I teasing you?” she asked as she came closer.
I bent down to make it seem like I was going to kiss her then lifted her up and took her upstairs.
She caught my lips mid stair case and I laid her onto the bed.
