(Love) Contract

Brian’s POV

She really was something different. I walked with her into the first store and she had taken one look and shook her head at me.
“What? You don’t wanna look any further?” I asked her and looked around, I saw some dresses that would fit her perfectly.
“Nothing.” She walked back and I grabbed her hand in mine.
“Wait. Why?”
“These dresses cost more than a monthly rent. We will find something else.” She turned around and I was still holding her hand, could get used to it actually.
“Wait. I told you it would be a gift, don’t worry about the price, okay?” I told her.
“NO not, okay.” She pulled her hand away and I smiled… I could also make her temper rising as I could see.
“Fine, next store, but we need to find something there, because we only got 30 minutes to go back.” I told her and she nodded absently while staring into the window of the next store.
I grabbed her hand again and she finally looked at me “Why are you doing that?”
She looked at our hands. “I’m just starting to get into our roles, you forgot, we gotta be boyfriend and girlfriend for the outside world. Why not start now?”
“I didn’t agree to it, yet.”
“Just a matter of time.” I told her with a wink.
She rolled her eyes at me and pulled me into the next store, “I don’t think I will find anything here.”
“Why is that?” I looked around and grabbed a few dresses I found fitting and shoved them at her.
“Here, try these.” Tara took them and I walked together with her to the dressing room.

I waited outside and after 5 dresses we found the perfect one. It was black, fitting her curves perfectly, showing some leg and the back of the dress was open, showing her tattoos.
I had to ask her about all her tattoos or even better I had to look at each of them closely, I hoped she was hiding somewhere I didn’t see now as well.
“And?” Tara asked turning around and around in a circle.
“Perfect.” I told her getting up and walked towards her.
I stood close behind her and looked over her shoulder into the mirror, her eyes met mine and I took in the picture of both of us.
We looked good together, I guess the people could really believe that we were a couple, she was not exactly my type but… she was nevertheless an amazing looking woman and when I saw us together we were an even better looking couple, I could only praise ourselves.

I laid my arms around her belly and pulled her close, waiting for her reaction. She stiffened in my arms and her eyes widened. I never thought this whole fake girlfriend thing would be so much fun.
“What’s wrong Tara?” I whispered in her ear.
“I’m not used to be so close to someone, I don’t really know.” She whispered back.
“That’s why we need to get to know each other, Tara. We will be spending a lot more time together…” I winked at her and she pulled away.
“We need to get back.”
“Yeah, I know. Leave the dress on, we will be late now anyway.” I looked her up and down again and frowned at her shoes. She wore sneakers to a cocktail dress now.
We walked to the counter to pay and I looked at the young woman. “Hey do you have fitting shoes to this dress? We wanna leave it on right away, is that okay?” I asked.
“You…you are Syn Gates…oh my god. Can I get an autograph? I have been to your last show here, it was amazing. Is that your.. hm.. your cousin or something?” She asked me and pulled a paper and pen out of the drawer.
I smiled at her “Here.” I signed her paper and waited for her answer when she didn’t give one I sighed. “No, this is my girlfriend. Would you be so nice and show her some fitting shoes? That would be awesome.” I smirked and the girl hurried around the counter shoving shoes at Tara who looked nearly as astonished as the girl.
“I..I didn’t know that you have another girlfriend… I read you didn’t wanna be bound after the thing with Michelle.” I cringed when I heard the name of my ex fiancée.
“Yeah, well… love gets to you when you least expect it, right babe?” I looked over at Tara, she had fitting black high heels on her feet and walked towards me.
“Yes, right.” She went to my side, laying her arm around my waist and I pulled her close, kissing her temple.
“Oh, okay. Wow, this is so cool.” The saleswoman got back to her job and scanned the dress and shoes for Tara and I paid for them.
We walked arm in arm out of the shop and Tara sighed relieved when we walked together down the street back to our hotel.

Matt’s POV

We would meet in 30 minutes downstairs, I opened my door and walked over to Tara’s and knocked.
I waited and thought about an explanation why I wanted to talk to her alone first.
I had to be quick to come up with something.
Nobody opened up so I knocked again, louder this time.
Nothing.
Maybe she was already downstairs, I walked down and asked if someone was sitting on our table already, but nobody was there.
I asked the reception to call Tara’s room, maybe she was showering when I had been at her door.
I waited in the foyer didn’t know what else to do.

Perfectly on time Jason walked down and saw me waiting.
“Did you knock on Brian’s door?” I asked him, he wouldn’t show up if we wouldn’t make him, I knew that much.
“Yeah, of course. Nobody opened. I listened on his door, couldn’t hear anything, either he is sleeping and ignoring my knocking and calling or he is not there.”
“Fuck off, this guy… I can’t believe he vanished on us again, after everything we-”
“We are on time, are we not?” Brian voice sounded behind me.
I turned around at the voice of the cocky bastard and saw not only him, but him together with Tara in his arms, and she looked fabulous.
She wore a black cocktail dress, showing a lot of leg and curves, I frowned… where have they been and why was she out with him like that?!
“We made a small walk to get to know each other better.”Brian explained my not yet asked question.
“Oh, well… I thought…” I shook my head and tried to focus again, not staring at Tara too long.
“You look amazing, girl” Jason grinned at Tara and I frowned at him even more.
“Thank you.” She blushed and I saw Brian lean down to her and whisper “Told you so.”

I followed after the trio and saw Brian laying his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his body. That’s when I noticed that her dress showed through the part in the back a lot of skin and tattoo’s. One was going from her shoulder down disappearing under the hem of the dress again.
I wished I could see how large it really was and see the full design of her back.
I was pulled out of my musing when we arrived at our table and sat down, Brian even being a gentleman pulling the chair out for her which made me look at Jason with a lifted eyebrow and he nodded approvingly which made me chuckle.

I think Brian took the whole girlfriend situation way too serious right now, which was a good thing on one hand, that way he would make Tara feel comfortable around him… or at least that was the way I hoped she would feel. But I also didn’t like the whole scene, which made me confused and I didn’t even know why… maybe because I knew that soon Brian would lose his interest in her and would change his interest to other girls and drugs or god knows what again and he would vanish from our plan and view within no time…
Yeah, right that must be it…

“So, since you picked out Tara, have you also thought about how we met? I mean we have to agree on a story how we fell endlessly in love with each other within no time…” Brian looked at me expectantly.
No, I haven’t. I didn’t even think we would really find someone fitting and if we found one I didn’t think that Brian would play along as he was doing right now.
“Nope, I didn’t. That’s up to you.” I replied and looked at Tara, she had been quiet the entire time.
“Maybe we should say that you guys met before… have seen each other a couple of times more as friends and then Brian made the move?” Jason suggested.
“Wow, what a love story.” Brian yawned.
“Better idea?” Jason looked at Brian with a grin.
“You have to ask that question?”Brian cocky as ever answered.
“Then tell us your love story…” Jason, Tara and I looked at Brian waiting for his idea.
