Jean Verodine

I opened my eyes slowly, the sunlight hit straight into my eyes. I looked at the blanket that is wrapped around my body. Suddenly the scene last night went back, I cursed under my breath.

I closed my eyes again hoping that everything was only a dream. Oh boy, I slept with Blake last night. I can’t believe that I gave my precious jewel to a guy that I met a week ago. This is freaking insane. I don’t know what got me but I gave it all to him without hesitating.

Blake’s arms were wrapping around my waist and now how am I going to get out from his grip? I slowly started to take his arm away.

“Where do you think you’re going sweetheart?” I froze hearing his voice and he pulled me back to his embrace.

“Blake, let me go.” I said but he ignored me. He kissed my back slowly and I turned my body facing him. His beautiful green orbs already looking at me.

“Morning baby.” He said as he pulled me closer

“Hey.” I said with a really awkward tone and I caressed his cheek with the back of my hand.

“You’re so beautiful.”

“Stop saying that.”

“That’s the truth babe” He smiled.

“Blake”

“Yeah?”

“About the agreement.”

“What about it?”

“When are we going to get married?” He chuckled hearing my question and I looked at him seriously. He kissed my cheek making me more confuse since I want a solid answer.

“Are you that eager to have me?” I glared at him when he said that. He’s so cocky and full of himself. I turned away and got out from the bed.

“Baby, I’m kidding.” He said and I ignored him. I looked at the clock and it’s already 9 a.m. My phone rang suddenly and it’s Claire.

“Hello.” I answered.

“Jean, where are you? We have fitting to do!” I put the phone away from my ear because I don’t want to be deaf in my early 20s.

“I’ll be there soon.” I hung up fast and quickly ran my ass to my room just across Blake’s. I took a shower quickly and dried myself in seconds. I put on my black crop top and white shorts on. I picked my white Adidas and put it on quickly. I took my clutch and threw all the things from my previous bag.

I thanked Lexy for being my hero to bring all of my things to Blake’s house. I walked out from the room to check my clutch one more time, Blake slipped his arms around my waist deom the back.

“Work?” He asked and I gulped nervous when I felt his breath on my skin.

“Yeah.” I turned to him smiling.

“Bye.” I slipped away from him and ran downstairs.

“No goodbye kiss?” He asked from upstairs and I turned to see him pointing at his lips. I chuckled and shook my head.

“No!” I waved at him and walked out from his house. I got into my car and turned my GPS on to find the fitting venue.

My head went back to the scene last night. I still can’t believe this. I sighed a few times and prayed to God to turn back time.

Did I regret it? Or I didn’t?

I got into the venue after 15 minutes drive, I walked inside the studio and got a glare from Wendy. I hugged her tightly.

“I’m sorry, Wendy! Spare me please.” I begged.

“Good thing that I like you a lot so you won’t be in trouble.” She hissed.

“Thankyou!” I squealed.

“Go get your ass to the changing room!” She pushed me away and I ran inside. I saw Lexy currently looking at herself in the mirror checking her outfit.

“You’re so late.” She said as she looked at me through the mirror.

“I know.”

“Did something happen last night?” She asked smirking to me with her eyes blinking.

“Shut up.” I said as my stylist pulled me to change.

“You need to tell me the details!” She squealed and I can’t believe that she said that in front of a lot of people here.

Blake Coster

“This is why I told you to make a copy!” I bursted angrily at my employee for making a really fatal mistake.

“I’m so sorry sir.” He looked down to the ground, I ran my hands through my hair completely frustrated. I just lost a big project that will make a lot of money in the future because my damn employee lost the real copy of the real file that I had to submit yesterday.

“Damn it!” I hissed.

“Once again, I’m sorry sir.” He apologized.

“You’re fired! Get out from my face!” I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

Suddenly my phone rang, I opened my eyes and reached my phone. Max’s name appeared on the screen.

“What is it Max?” I answered with a really uninterested tone.

“What’s with the tone Blake?” You have to be nice to the person who will help you”

“What?”

“I know you lost the deal, so am I. Let’s get that deal by facing the dude itself.” He said and I raised my eyebrows.

“You serious?”

“I never joke about work buddy, let’s fly to France tonight with my private jet. You in?”

“In.” I said without thinking twice, Max hung up. I leaned back to my chair and sighed. I went down from my office and got into my car. I drove home and quickly pack some clothes.

I’m going to France tonight and I need to tell Jean about this. Will she be okay to be home alone?

I decided to call her..

No answer. She must be working right now since she’s not answering. Should I leave her or not? That’s not the right question. Am I ready to leave her alone or not?

Wait.. Blake.. She’s nothing but a fling and your future-fake-wife. Why do I need to worry about her being home alone? Just leave her, right?

“Romina” I called my maid.

“Yes sir?” She ran to me from the kitchen.

“I’ll be going to France for a couple of days, please take care of Jean. Tell me if something happens to her.” I said and she nodded. I walked out from the house to go back to the office so I can go straight to the airport later on.

I worked on some files before going to the airport to meet Max there. Suddenly my head went to Jean, Jean and Jean again but I quickly think about something else. I need to stop worrying about her. She filled my head these days and I hate that idea.

“Blake” Max greeted me as I entered his private jet.

“Hey Maxy.” I teased him as I sat across him. He glared at me immediately.

“Call that name again, I’ll kick you out.” He said and I laughed.

“Nice jet dude.” I looked around his jet and it’s nice.

“Thanks.” He smirked and after that we both talked about the deal that we’re going to settle in France.

“I heard that you date one of the VS models?”

“I heard that you still hitting on Rose?” I asked back and he was back fired with my question. I laughed at him seeing his expression.

“Well Rose and I are just friends.” He shrugged.

“I date Jean Verodine, fake dating actually. I need my heritage from my grandfather so I won’t fall on my dad’s hands.” I said as I sipped the wine that Max poured earlier.

“So Aaron has to marry someone too?” Max’s face became so bright.

“No, since his dad is a good man.” I said and he frowned.

“Dude, remember one thing. We don’t need commitment in our lifes. Girls are too clingy of we step up to the next step of the relationship.”

“I hate love, Max. I told you 7 idiots about this.” I rolled my eyes and he chuckled.

“Good, you won’t fall for this girl right?” Max asked.

“Of course not, why?”

“Good thing that you’re not in the 7 Gold Lifes, dude, you’re free from punishments.” He sighed and he sipped his wine.

“Did you regret it?”

“Regret what?”

“Being in 7 Gold Lifes?” I asked

“Of course not you dumb.”

“7 Idiots met each other at highschool.” I teased him and he glared at me hard.

“Shut up.” Not long after that, we took off and flew to France.
