Lena

It has been more than one month after Adam and me declared to the world that we are boyfriends. Fictional boyfriends, but boyfriends.

The truth is that it seems that it was only yesterday the day I was laid off from work and I almost ran him over with my bike. However, it has already been more than one month, more than 30 days from the incident and that my life completely changed.

On Tuesday I received the first payment of the contract. I can't still believe they I really accepted to pretend to be his girlfriend in exchange for money. I know that this is something that, the Lena of a few years ago, would never have accepted. But circumstances change for everyone, and I needed the money. This month I’ll be able to pay all the unpaid invoices and, also, to save enough for the future.

Although this is not the only thing has changed this month. Because besides this farce, something else also has started. Another thing that, till today, I still don't understand well.

Since Adam and I talked about us on the roof of my building, things have changed between us. I don’t hate him anymore, or at least not much of the time. I think that the Adam that hides behind the rich scoundrel and unbearable facade is someone that is worth knowing. These last few weeks pretending to be boyfriends, have been well. It has been simple, natural. Perhaps because I like being with him, I have a good time and I'm comfortable. No other thing like the non-kiss has happened again. Dante asked us to kiss after leaving one dinner we went to one night and that's what we did. It was a foolish kiss, those that the lips only touch, but I was in a cloud for hours.

Nor have we talked about feelings, as he said, we have let things flow. The problem is that within me the feelings are getting stronger. There is a tingling in my stomach every time I see him appear and it stays there until we say goodbye.

Am I falling in love with Adam?

I can’t answer that question yet and I'm afraid to do so. I'm afraid that if it becomes an affirmation, I’ll have to face what it means.

Today is Friday and Adam and I are having another of our forced dates. It’s his birthday and we're celebrating it with his friends Evan and Jake. I asked him if I can bring Harper and he said yes. My friend has been very tense for weeks because of her relationship with Gabe. They keep arguing every day, and although she doesn't want to explain to me the reason of their arguments, something tells me that these two will eventually break-up if things continue like they have.

“What do you think of the dress?” I ask her spinning.

We are in my room. Harper is already dressed sitting on my bed. she's wearing a white dress which looks very nice on her silky skin and silver high heels.
