Chapter 78: I'm Just A Fake Girlfriend
“Well about a month ago. We started dating right after my birthday banquet. The same birthday banquet I specifically invited you to but you were too busy to attend.”
Golden could sense from his tone and the way he was looking at Bri that he liked her. It was possible that her missing his banquet had hurt him.
He probably introduced her as his girlfriend to get a rise out of Bri and get her to admit her feelings for him.
Kind of what they did with Allan. And Bri, sensing another woman about to take her place would naturally react.
Golden chuckled softly into her palm. Fab was indeed a very intelligent nerd. She decided to help Bri out a little.
“Hi Bri, my name is Golden. Please ignore what Fab said. I'm just his fake girlfriend. We are actually best friends.”
“Really?” Bri asked, a little relaxed but not totally convinced. Best friend was another term for girlfriend.
“Yes Bri. I don't like Fab that way. I have someone else in my heart. We are just putting up an act to make that someone jealous.”
“That's what you should have said fool.” Bri then grabbed Fab and kissed him as if to stake her claim.
Golden ended the call laughing to herself. Fab has certainly gotten himself a handful.
She sent him a text.
Golden: “You are welcome.”
She didn't wait for a reply. She turned off the light and went straight to sleep.
London Heatherow Airport
Alex's flight had just landed. It was a 10 hours flight and she was really tired.
Although she had traveled first class, she was still jetlagged and couldn't wait to alight.
Varney had asked her to fly through London so they could fly back home together.
Alex didn't think she would miss Varney, but somehow she did and couldn't wait to see him.
The moment she stepped out of the tarmac, she saw him standing, making a call. He was wearing a beige trench coat and a wool scarf around his neck.
The moment he sighted her, he smiled and ended his call.
Alex walked into his waiting arms and gave him a warm hug.
Although Alex was really tall for a lady, standing at 6", Varney was 2" taller so she rested her head of his chest.
Varney raised her chin and kissed her sweetly on the lips.
“Hey baby. I missed you so much” he said kissing her again.
He removed the scarf around his neck and placed it on hers. Then he removed his coat and dropped it on her shoulder before leading her to the underground car park.
Alex spotted a silver Maybeach and immediately knew it was Varney's car.
One thing she had come to realize about the Nixons was that they loved to ride in style.
They had a deep love for cars so even their most basic car was eye catching.
“Please tell me you have food in your apartment, I am hungry and can eat a horse right now”. Alex said with a pout.
“Didn't you eat on the plane? You flew first class so I am very sure they served food.” Varney smirked at Alex.
“I wasn't particularly interested in what they were serving. I wasn't hungry at the time so I didn't eat anything.
What I am craving is a home cooked meal. I would really love some rice and chicken gravy.
Do you think you can ask your chef to cook me some?” Alex asked holding Varney's arm as he drove.
“You have a chef right?” Alex asked as she realized they were in London not Florida.
“The Manor has a chef but he only comes around whenever I have a very long stay in London or if I have to host events at the Manor.
But I prefer to cook for myself most times. Don't worry babes I've got you”.
“Are you sure you know how to cook? We can just stop by a restaurant on our way.
I would rather have a meal at a restaurant, than suffer food poisoning” Alex said doubting Varney's culinary skills.
“Geez baby thanks for your vote of confidence”.
They soon arrived at the Nixon Manor. It was a beautiful bungalow built in Victorian Style.
It sat on a 3,000 square meter space and was beautifully adorned with trees and perfectly mowed lawns.
Varney led Alex into the house and she admired it's interior and architectural design.
Although the exterior gave off a vintage vibe, the interior was a perfect blend of vintage and modern technology.
Varney removed her coat and took it to the cloak room before leading her down the hall to the bedroom.
He took her suitcase to the walk-in closet and carefully placed it on a couch.
He came back into the room and pulled her in for a hug.
Alex who was about to sit on the bed was suddenly jolted and landed in a warm embrace.
Varney switching their positions sat on the bed and pulled Alex down to sit on his lap.
She sat straddling him as he rested his head on her chest and took in her lavender and peaches scent.
“Alex do you think you have started falling in love with me?” Varney asked into her chest.
Not expecting him to ask that question, Alex lifted Varney's head and asked: “Why are you suddenly asking me this?”
“I am asking because I have had you on my mind all day. And there are things I really want to do to you.
I don't want to take advantage of you, so I want your heart first.”
“Listen V, I may not yet feel deeply for you the way you feel about me. But one thing I know is that since I agreed to be your girlfriend, I haven't stopped thinking about you.
When you asked me to fly through London, I felt butterflies in my tummy and I couldn't wait to see you.
I know it ruins my hard girl image”, Alex paused and chuckled.
“But part of the reason I couldn't eat on the flight was because I was anxious to see you.”
“I am inexperienced when it comes to relationships and there are many things I don't know but I am eager to try out with you.”
“So I don't know if that qualifies as love. One thing you already know is that no one can force me to do something I don't want or take advantage of me.”
“Oh honey, what you feel is love. And I am so glad and honored to occupy your thoughts.” Varney gently cupped Alex's face and made her look at him.
“I love you and I will teach you how to love me.”
“V?” Alex called out hesitantly. “You said there are things you want to do me, but you need my heart first.
“Well I've never made out with any guy before. My first year in college, I kissed a guy during a truth or dare game, but that's as far as I have ever gone with a guy.”
