Chapter Nine

Lindsay

Present day…

Nothing much came from Brent and I’s plan and I was able to concentrate on my studies and get through my finals. But now, it’s Christmas break and it’s show time. Brent and I will be making our first appearance as an engaged couple at my parent’s house and then it’s on to my Dad’s work’s Christmas party. I can’t wait to see my mother’s face. She’s been pushing for her little girl to get married as soon as possible since I was at least 5-years-old. And now, I am! I bet she will faint!

I’m not really worried at all about acting like Brent’s love. He’s been nicer to me in the last few weeks, and I’m feeling less annoyed around him. Plus, he got me a giant diamond ring to wear. It’s literally the biggest engagement ring I have ever seen. And, while I know it’s only mine for a short time, just looking at the glittery thing brings me such joy.

Robert and I are riding back to our home town with Brent. Since I’m going along for the ride, Brent rented a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover with a larger cab then his Ferrari. The SUV is a beauty in dark silver. It’s so expensive looking and I feel like a princess riding in it. It’s all so much fun. My brother mentioned the epic road trip they took together a few years back and now I get to be a part of one.

This all really does feel like a dream.

I’ve been doing my best to learn about Brent’s likes and interests in case it comes up in conversation. I’ve noticed that he takes his coffee black and tends to stay away from sweets. He runs in the mornings, on occasion—like my brother—but usually prefers to swim if there is a pool available. He also apparently lifts weights to keep in shape and it shows.

I have caught my eyes taking in his body more than once since our fake engagement started. I know it’s pretend but it will still be fun to feel his strong arms draped over my shoulders or wrapped around my waist.

Will I have to kiss Brent? Part of me wants to, but the other part thinks that is just too far.

I also can’t wait to tell my best friend Tina. We haven’t talked much since our Fall Break visit together. I know she has been worried about my happiness, just as much as I have been worried about hers. I feel a little guilty about not telling her about the fake engagement, but I didn’t know what to say, so I avoided talking to her altogether. I hope she got all her issues with Seth, the boy who lives a few doors down from her in the dorms, resolved, but I doubt it.

When we pull down my parent’s street all the memories come flooding back. The first time I met Brent was here and we have had our ups and downs since then.
