Tu

I'm going to propose. I knew Thomas loved me. I could feel it in the way he looked at me, the way he held me like I was his whole world. And I loved him just as much. We were ready- I was ready. So why drag it out? Heart pounding, I took one last sip of the drink I had been nursing for an hour, hoping it would give me a little more courage. I walked up to him and, without giving myself time to overthink, I blurted it out. "I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" Silence. An impossibly long, heavy silence. And then, the reply, "Well, that's… unexpected." That voice- it wasn't Thomas' voice. It was deeper, smoother, a voice that sent a chill down my spine. Standing there, eyebrows raised, was the CEO. The CEO. Looking every bit as shocked as I felt. Oh. My. God. I had just proposed… to my boss. "Oh my God, I am so sorry," I stammered, my face probably turning ten shades of red. "I thought you were- this is so embarrassing, I-" But he didn't look horrified. He was… smiling? And then, as if the universe hadn't humiliated me enough, he said, "Yes." *** Her plan was flawless: surprise her secret boyfriend with a heartfelt proposal on Valentine's Day.

As if that wasn't messy enough, she discovers her boyfriend has been sneaking around with someone else. Her one reason to escape this charade is gone. But the longer she plays the role of his fiancee, the harder it gets to remember it's all pretend...

"I can feel it," he said with his back still turned to me. "What?" "You eye-raping me," he chuckled and turned around. "Don't you own a shirt?" I rolled my eyes at him, trying to keep my cool. "And why are you calling me out here for?" Ryder smirked. He cleaned his hands with a towel and tossed it off somewhere. "To pick up where we left off," he said as he stalked towards me. I didn't move away, I was too entranced. In one swift move, Ryder grabbed my face with both hands and he kissed me fiercely and passionately. Just the contact was enough to send shivers up and down my spine. I couldn’t hold back anymore, so I kissed him back, feverishly. He smiled and I smiled too, and he used this opportunity to slip his tongue inside. ***What happens when a girl falls in love with the one person she's not supposed to?*** "You and me, and never us: a complicated series of almost-interactions."

“I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
