His stunned expression didn't kill the lust in his eyes. He only added confused expression to the mix of emotions plastered on his face.
"Why didn't you just come out and ask?" His tone was low and devoid of any emotions. Reminding me of moments before, when the driver had to park the car in the parking lot. Leaving us at the front door, people dressed up for the wedding walked in and out, suddenly I wished I told him in the car before we came out, I didn't need a familiar face spotting me and causing a scene. Especially if he rejected the idea and walked away. That would be a big W for Karen. It started to seem like a bad idea.
"This looks... crowded." He watched the place with confusion. I winced, all of the teachings James had given me, flew out of my head in that moment.
"Listen.." I started, he cut me short when he pulled off his suit jacket and placed it on my shoulders. Leaving me stunned for more than thirty seconds.
"Don't think too much about it, you were shivering." He chuckled.
I blinked, I hadn't realized that I was shivering.
"What about you?" The dumb question escaped my lips before I could stop it.
"Why did you go ahead to wear a sleeveless gown with the back cut so low when you knew it would be this cold?" He eyed me.
"To seduce you." I told him plainly.
He looked stunned for a second before his confident, boyish smile returned to his face. His eyes jumped from my face to my chest, like adding wood to a fire, the desire in his eyes burned.
Deciding it was the best time to tell him, I just come out and say it, there was no time to think.
"This is a wedding.."
"What?" He was half distracted by the boob display. I was caught between hiding them to get his full attention, or using them to my advantage.
"Look closely Noah.. we are at a wedding." This was the first time I called him by his name, and it was weird.
His eyes took their sweet time withdrawing from my chest, and swept the entire place in one gaze.
"What are we doing here?" Confusion crept into his voice.
My hands turned clammy, I wringed them both as I thought of the best way to deliver the news in the best way possible.
"I brought us here.. I kind of needed a boyfriend from Bavard.. and you were the one I thought of to fill the role."
"Why did you need a boyfriend from Bavard?" He was curious about the wrong thing here, it was none of his business.
"I may have bragged to someone that I did have a boyfriend from Bavard.. I need to keep up with my uhm.. not so true stories."
"Lie. You lied, to her, to me, were we even going to have sex?"
I eye him, I knew I lied, what did he think he would gain from repeating it to me?
"The sex is your problem??"
He looked like he wanted to ask me if I was a fool for asking the question instead he scoffed.
"Then the sex you shall get.. I lied to you anyway, plus I did want to do it."
He raised a brow.
"What? Canadian women aren't open about their sex desires?"
He laughed a bit,
"Not so much, but they aren't liars either."
I wince physically,
"I get it, I did you wrong, I deserve punishment."
I wiggled my eye brows suggestively.
His eyes turned to the sultry ones I see at the office.
"Why didn't you just come out and ask?"
"Hello? Earth to Lisa?"
I blinked, I must have spaced out while reminiscing.
"Sorry. I didn't ask because I thought you'd say no."
"And the best way was to deceive me?"
I sighed, this was getting nowhere, any minute now some one would spot me and tell Karen, the sooner he made his choice the better.
"Look, I'm sorry, but we are here now, either we go in, enjoy the party, then the sex then talk about my deception, or we can go home and forget this ever happened." I bit my lip as he thought about the options I gave him, I crossed my fingers, hoping he'd pick the first one. He had to, even if no one saw me, which was impossible, minding the number of guests that trooped in. The CCTV, must have spotted me, I know Karen installed them just to catch me. She was more than capable.
"Okay fine. We'll go in, the person wedding seems to be your arch nemesis, I'd like to see who got under your skin so much."
Relief flooded my entire being, I smiled so wide.
"So not because of the sex?"
He laughed and didn't answer telling me what I wanted to hear, the guy did want what I wanted. That union of two different countries, joined by our genitals. I shivered in delight just thinking about it.
"What are we waiting for fake girlfriend? Let's go." He said giving me his elbow. This time I laughed and linked our elbows together.
"One more thing, you have to take your jacket back, I didn't wear this dress for you alone. I'm here to steal attention from the bride." I tell him as we start to walk inside.
He laughed, I felt the vibrations roll off of him as he laughed because of how closed our bodies were pressed together. The vibrations rolled down to my very core, turning me on to the highest I could get turned on.
"Wow the bride loves her self." He commented.
The wall was full of her pictures, none of the groom's picture was splashed across the hall. I snickered, she didn't love herself so much.
"She's making a statement." I tell him as we found a spot to seat.
He pulled out a chair for me seat, and took his jacket back.
"You two had such good chemistry." He said sarcastically.
I laughed a little.
"The feelings were mutual. That's all I can say."
"Oh good Lisa! You made it!"
At the sound of the nasally fake voice, I knew I had to start acting.
