Chapter 107: Fake Boyfriend, Real Boyfriend
The wedding party continued and everywhere was bubbling.
Varney stepped out to receive a call, while Fab went to get Golden some food.
Golden was sitting at her table and silently observing everything that was going on.
“Is this seat taken?” Golden heard a deep voice ask.
“No it's not, you can have it.
Hey I know you! Dr. Alex right? What are you doing here?” Golden asked with a smile.
“Hello Golden, it's good to see you again. Actually, I attended the same college with Rosalie and we've been friends for the longest time.”
“I see you are a bridesmaid. So who's side of the family are you from?” Dr. Alex asked as he adjusted his plate on the table.
“Prof Chen's. His daughter Alex and I are best friends. Yeah, she's also Alex” Golden said with a knowing smile to ease the confusion on Dr. Alex's face.
Well, Rosalie is marrying her dad and she asked us both to be her bridesmaids.”
“Why aren't you eating anything, do you need me to grab you a bite?” Dr. Alex asked, standing up.
“No it's fine. My friend has gone to get me something to eat. He's approaching as we speak.” Golden said smiling to Fab who was making his way to their table.
“Is he your boyfriend perhaps? I see the way you are smiling at him.” Dr. Alex asked as he settled back down.
Just then, Fab got to the table in time to hear the conversation.
“Nah he is my friend, but for the sake of this event, he is my boyfriend.” Golden said in a lowered tone.
“Here you go babe. If you need anything else just let me know.” Fab handed over a plate to Golden and sat down.
“Are you sure you guys are just friends? Because this is good acting if you aren't actually dating.” Dr. Alex said, clearly not believing the “just friends” story.
“Hi, I am Fabulous Lawrence, bestie and fake boyfriend.” Fab said stretching out his hand towards Dr. Alex for a handshake.
“Nice to meet you Fabulous Lawrence. I'm Alex Mendez. So if you don't mind me asking, is there a real boyfriend somewhere since you are the fake boyfriend?”
“Actually I do have a real boyfriend. His name is Allan Renshaw, but he's not here today.” Golden responded as she ate her meal.
“And he doesn't mind the arrangement you have with Fabulous? Again, forgive me for asking so many questions.”
“First of, you can just call me Fab. And to answer your question, he knows that there's nothing between Gigi and I and that it's him Gigi loves.
Besides, I have a girlfriend too. Gigi and I became a couple to escape Nana Chen's matchmaking.”
“I've heard Rosa talk about Nana Chen a lot. She seems outwardly. I am hoping to meet her today.” Dr. Alex said.
“Oh you have no idea. Don't worry you will love her once you meet her. In fact, you will love the whole family.” Fab said with a knowing smile.
“By the way, how do you know the bride?”
“Well we've been friends since childhood. Grew up together, and attended the same schools.
I was happy when she said Chen finally popped the question.”
“I swear to God, if I hear my name one more time, I'm going to explode.” Alex said as she sat down with a thump.
Fab immediately passed her a glass of fruit juice which she downed in one glass.
He poured her another glass and Gigi handed her a wipes to clean her mouth.
“Are you okay now tiger? Who's bold enough to mess with you?” Fab asked, seeing that Alex had calmed down.
“Only my aunties have the guts to rile me up. Who on earth travels to another continent with kids without their nannies?
I have suddenly become the nanny to not one, but 6 kids and 3 toddlers, and I am expected to cater for all of them.
If I'm being paid a dollar for every time I hear Xinyi Gei, I would be a millionaire by now.”
“Sadly I'm the youngest in the family here and can't complain.” Alex said with a tired expression.
“I thought they were just 3, how did they become 9?” Gigi asked.
“Well my uncle's wives flew in last night with their kids and aunty Lisa's kids. And the oldest kid is 11 while the youngest are two years old.
Now the two year olds are the ones working on my last nerve. The older kids, I can threaten, but the little ones, they don't understand my threat and they are the ones driving me mad.”
“Anyways calm down. We would leave after dinner back to the Estate.
This is Dr. Alex Mendez, apparently he's childhood friends with Rosalie.” Golden made a quick introduction.
“Oh I remember him. He's the hot doctor you bumped into during the outreach, the one that works at St. Theresa's Teaching Hospital?” Alex asked with a sly smile.
Dr. Alex raised an eyebrow at Golden and Alex. So they had a conversation about him before?
He had an impression about Golden that day at the outreach and although they hadn't spoken for long, he somehow couldn't stop thinking about her.
He was surprised to see her at the wedding and was enthralled when she walked down the aisle during the wedding procession.
He couldn't place his finger on it, but there was something about her that caught his attention and wouldn't let go.
Fab who had left to get Alex some food came back and noticed the way Dr. Alex was looking at Gigi and quietly cleared his throat.
“Errm Alex!”
“Yeah?” Both Alex's turned towards Fab.
“Okay this isn't going to work. We need to decide which name we are going to call either of you when we are all in the same space.” Fab said.
“Well my surname is Mendez, but you guys can call me Xander to avoid the confusion.”
“Cool. I think I like this guy,” Alex said pointing her fork towards Xander.
“Yeah, I'm sure you do.” Fab said, giving Alex a knowing smile.
