Chapter 10
"Wow, you are doing good, I wish I can be like you,"
"Baby girl, you can't, remember when Brandon broke up with you? You spent the whole academy section looking like a widow," he said laughing at her past
heartbreak moments.
"Don't bring that up, I was stupid then, I can't even remember what I liked about Brandon,"
"Your teenaged self remembers though, anyway, Max the guy I am going on a date with, he has been asking me out for a while now but I have been turning him down since I was supposed to be in a relationship but now I am free so I am gonna check him out but it nothing serious though, true love doesn't exist," he said getting up to serve them food, "except it one-sided like yours,"
He added throwing her a backward glance, she threw the napkin on the table at him but he caught it and threw it back at her, she stood up to help set the table and remembered she has not told him that her travel has been moved forward.
"I forgot to mention we are leaving tomorrow not Thursday,"
She revealed.
"What? I thought it's Thursday?"
"Yeah, it was but Lucas said we have to leave tomorrow, you know the way he is,"
"I hate your boss I still don't know what you like about him,"
"He is your boss too you know, he owns the company,"
"Not directly my boss though, my boss is an angel and if he wasn't already married I would have seduced him."
"But let's be serious though, as much as I don't like this fake girlfriend ideal, now that I have thought about it again, you should do it, girl, I know you already made up your mind to do it anyway, I am just saying you can use it to test if what you feel for him is real love or if it just in your head, you know what I am saying right?"
He said as they sat down in front of the TV watching their favorite TV series,"
"I am offended by your words Jordan, I am twenty-eight years old not eighteen or sixteen, I know what I feel,"
She reprimanded.
"That's what you say but you act like sixteen years old in love for the first time, I already told you to tell your boss how you feel about him, get it off your chest, tell him he doesn't have to be responsible for it but you just want him to know but you said no and have been carrying a one-sided love for over six years now,"
"It's not up to six years and I can't tell him that, that will be selfish of me and I don't want him to have to be cautious around me or maybe worst fire me if he gets too uncomfortable."
She replied. She has envisioned telling Lucas how she felt about him a few times but it didn't always end well in her head so she always chickens out when the voice in her head tells her to tell him.

"And you feel it right that you haven't
dated anyone in a while, like for real when last did you make love? You are hopelessly in love with your boss and not dating while he is fucking every bitch in the country, I wanna spank you sometimes you know," Content belongs to Novelxo.org
"Sex is not life and Lucas doesn't sleep with every bitch like you are saying, about
dating I went on a date four months ago remember?"
"Who? The guy that showed up at your business trip? That will forever be iconic, cuz that was legendary for real," he said in a fit of laughter.
"It wasn't funny, Lucas looked like he
would kil the both of us, I don't even wanna think about it, don't know
why Leven brought it up and again you were the one that set me up with him so it's your fault," Content belongs to Novelxo.org
"Don't blame me, blame your inability to get over a man,"
He said shielding himself with the throw pillows.
"Don't worry I will get there soon, I am not gonna stay on this one side love story forever, I haven't just been able to meet anyone good enough to make me want to
end it."
She responded. No one she has met so far did it for her Lucas set the standard so high that she hasn't been able to meet someone who got up to half of him.
"Girl how will you meet someone when you are with your boss and love interest almost every day even on weekends, you know what, just make the most of this one week, seduce him and get down with him and deal with the aftermath later," Content belongs to Novelxo.org
He encouraged but Katrina knew she wouldn't be able to do that but she didn't say a
word just nodded her head.
"So when am I gonna see you again? Next week?"
"Nah, next month at Lilac's wedding, we are going there after the one week in California and staying till after the wedding, I told you before remember?"
"Aha, yeah I remember now, see, you even have one month just cling to him and get the D for the whole month then get back to normal life as if nothing happened."
"I need to pack the stuff I need would you help me or should I go alone?" she asked getting up to head to her room, she didn't wanna talk about the D of her fantasy cuz it would drive her crazy.
"I am exhausted so I will pass," he replied laying on the floor.
"Lazy," she accused and went into her room to pack up. She decided to text Lucas
her decision. "I will do it," she texted and got a response almost immediately, he must have been waiting for her response.
"Thanks, Kat, I promise you won't regret it," he texted back and she hoped with all her heart that she won't regret it.
