I went down for breakfast after I was ready, just to see Alex already seated there. I went directly and sat on the other chair, as far as possible from Alex.
"Livian"
"Huh?"
"Get ready after the breakfast, wear your best clothes."
"Why?"
"You know, I'm famous we have to make public appearances quite frequently. My assistant has scheduled a interview for us, to make a public appearance."
"Hmm"
"Learn to speak Liv, say yea or ok at least"
Liv, he called me Liv. For the first time.
"Ok"
"Now go get ready I will meet you in 30 minutes."
I went straight to my room. I put on a white pencil dress, that hugged my curves, with a deep V neck in front, which revealed my cleavage, I felt too revealed, but I HAD to put up with.
To go with the dress I wore a simple platinum chain with a small diamond my mother gave me. Then I put on a rose gold bracelet. For the hair Lilly curled my hair. She suggested that wavy curls would suit my outfit and my face. She said the curls would look gorgeous on my selenite blonde hair.
I went down to see Alex already ready. As I went I felt Alex staring at me, though I wasn't sure. Suddenly I realised Alex was wearing a white suit with white pants and light blue shirt. Fuck, we were wearing matching clothes.
I went to Alex and he crooked his arm which I readily accepted.
We went over to the car that was waiting for us, surprisingly, Alex opened the door for me. I kept a good distance between us. Suddenly Alex pulled me very close to him. I fitted under his arms perfectly. Even while standing up, I barely reached his chest.
He bent low and whispered in my ears, his breath felt hot on my skin, "Only people in the house know about the reality, not the drivers"
I couldn't believe my ears.
He placed a kiss on the nape of my neck, sending shivers down my back. I was about to jerk back when I saw the driver sneakily watching us, I sat as though I liked what Alex was doing.
Every few minutes he would place a kiss (except my lips of course)and pretend to whisper. I forced myself to smile every time he did that.
Luckily after a few minutes of tolerance, which seemed like hours, we reached the interview hall.
Alex helped me get down from the car and held my hand, his fingers interlocked with mine. He held it tightly.
Just than a man appeared in front of us, hi face showed all his excitement, and I figured out he may be Alex's assistant. He pounced on me hugging me tightly.
"Hello sister-in-law, I'm Alex's assistant cum cousin, Ben"
"He--hello be....n" I could barely speak in his hold.
"Ben leave her" Alex said
"Alex's jealous"
And that's when I knew that Ben didn't know we weren't a real thing.
We moved further and took a seat on the stage, Alex's hand still holding mine tightly. He stole glances at me every few minutes. I felt weird.
Then all the reporters settled down on their assigned seats.
"Good Morning everyone, I'm Alex James, as you all know me and this is my beloved wife Livian James, or Mrs. James as you would call"
There was a wave of whispering and giggling.
"Good Morning everyone" I greeted.
"So you all may ask anything you want and we'll try our best to give you the answers." Alex announced.
"Mr and Mrs. James, where did you go for you honeymoon?"
I knew Alex wouldn't be able to give a proper excuse so I spoke.
"I suggested I wanted to spend some quality time with Alex in our home. So we decided to stay home rather than travelling" I said smiling and tried to sound sweet and polite, in which I think I succeeded.
Another wave of whispering aroused. Alex looked at me and smiled, I knew it was him pretending, but all seemed real.
"Mr James, do you love Mrs. James?"
Alex looked at me and my heart twitched, the real answer was no.
"Of course I do, that is why we got married" He looked at me, smiled and kissed on my lips.
