Rina's P.O.V
"Rina, will you be my girlfriend?" I stood still, shocked at the most outrageous words spoken by the biggest playboy in the town... no actually, the biggest playboy in the world.
"What?" I blinked at his words. Did I hear him right or my ears were ringing? Did he just say what he said?
"Oh no, don't misunderstand, I know you don't like me and well I don't want to be involved in a serious affair either so...umm.. actually a fake girlfriend to be exact." He said clarifying himself and this jerk, he dared to smile.
The nerves! What does he take me for? I narrowed my eyes at him, You're so dead, I clenched my fist in anger. His eyes widened in alarm as he took a step back, "Okay, calm down, before you plan to throw a punch at me, please hear me out, once, please." He practically begged, "I actually didn't plan to involve you at all. But... umm... you know me, right? I can't have a serious relationship and I've tried to find myself a fake girlfriend but I can't trust anyone on this... all the girls are after me, I'm not boasting or anything, just the truth." He winked, I raised a brow at him.
This guy! Seriously how can anyone be so annoying!? My subconscious self rolled her eyes. Why am I even listening to his nonsense?
"They won't just play along with me and the worst part what if I actually get stuck with them for the rest of my life? That would be horrible." He shook his head. "And so I could only think of you who could save me from all this after all he was your ex-boyfriend, I'm not blaming you, of course, what if he was your ex? You didn't ask him to kidnap her.. rather he was planning to kidnap you, Teresa got kidnapped by mistake,"
My heart constricted feeling guilty, I felt dreadful when I learned my ex had kidnapped my best friend, he mistook her for me and my best friend got involved in that mess, it was my fault, I'd have never forgiven myself if anything happened to her but gladly when we reached the place she was the one beating the shit out of her kidnapper and my ex was now rotting in some Italian jail.
"but of course, that wasn't your fault." His words brought me back from my thoughts, "I know, I didn't ask you before making a stupid promise, so I guess I'm on my own." He sighed and fished his phone out from the inner breast pocket of his suit.
"Maybe I should call my ex-girlfriend for help, she'll sure misunderstand me, maybe I end up actually getting married to her. My bad!" He started dialing a number with a sad face, he looked like he may cry any minute.
Well, I guess there's no harm helping him out here, he was the one who helped us find my best friend, I sighed as I cover his phone screen with my hand stopping him from making the call, "Fine, I'll help you," I said.
Rihito's P.O.V
I fished my other phone out from the inner breast pocket of my suit. Obviously I have two numbers, one is my personal number and another one for the girls.
"Maybe I should call my ex-girlfriend for help, she'll sure misunderstand me, maybe I end up actually getting married to her. My bad!" I scrolled down the contact list pretending to search for a number with a sad face.
I glanced at Rina and back at my phone pretending to dial the number.
"Fine, I'll help you." She sighed in defeat, covering my phone screen stopping me from making the call.
Finally!
"Huh?" I played innocent.
"I said I'll help you, I'll become your fake girlfriend." Her eyes softened.
"Really?" I looked at her with hopeful eyes. obviously The devil inside me smirked.
"yeah, I guess actually no I know I am responsible for your misery." She sighed.
"Oh not at all, it wasn't your fault. You didn't know he'll turn out to be such a jerk."
"Yeah, but he was my ex, and Teresa did get kidnapped instead of me so I am partly responsible. And you did help us getting my best friend back safely and you also helped me a lot in the past so..." She shrugged.
"Really? Thank you so much. You're the best. You really saved me from huge trouble." I hugged her.
"It's okay. I'm just returning the favor." She smiled at me.
Oh-oh, now I was feeling guilty, she didn't show her smile frequently, or wait, she doesn't show it at all but now she was smiling at me so softly. Don't you ever let her find out you baited her into this! My subconscious self warned me. Of course, the day she finds out, she'll turn it into my funeral.
"Hey!" Just then we heard Teresa calling us.
We joined the bride and the groom, "What did you do?" The groom asked me pulling me to the side.
"Me? nothing." I smiled at him innocently.
"Then what's with that nasty smirk on your face?" He narrowed his eyes at me.
"Oh, nothing at all Ryouma. You're doubting me unnecessarily." I blinked puppy eyes at him.
"I know you very well, dear best friend. You've plotted something really big, didn't you ?" He eyed me accusingly. I flashed a grin at him.
Oh, you don't need to know. I thought to myself.
"I don't care what that evil smirk is for, as long as it doesn't concern me." He sighed.
Third person's P.O.V
All the single ladies gathered around for the bride to throw the bouquet, they stood on their toes to be the one catching the bouquet.
"Okay, so here we go." Teresa threw her bouquet behind at the crowd of all the single women who were desperate to catch the bouquet, it glided across the night sky, and for some reason, the bouquet ended up falling into a certain someone's hands who wanted it the least.
"What the hell?" Rina's eyes widened in horror as she looked at the bouquet that had landed in her hands.
