Huh? Linda said shocked
During the period when I act as your husband, I want you to go out with me , I want you to date me as long as the pretense lasts
But why? Linda asked again, I mean you must have a lot of pretty
That's just my condition Linda , there's no ulterior meaning or motive, Chris said cutting her off, "extending his hand, he asked" is it a deal?
Linda looked at his hand hesitating
I'm no longer a stranger Linds, am I? Chris asked to flashing her a smile
Linda replied the smile, shook his hand and said, it's a deal
Ok then, first of all I guess we will have to know each other more, I mean for us to be able to pull off pretending to be in love and to get married, then we really need to know more about each other, Chris said looking at Linda expectedly
Ohh, my name is Linda Chiama
I already know you're name is Linda Chiamaka, you're 27 and a fashion designer, basically I just want to know more about you
Uh? , said Linda with her mouth agape, but how did you know all these about me
My mom, Chris replied
You're mom? Linda repeated confused
Yeah, my mom actually had you investigated, that was how she was able to find you
Hmm, were you the one that told her to investigate me?
No, I didn't even know she knows about you, I only told my dad and he told my mom and she decided to take matters into her hands, Chris explained
Woww, action lady, so how do you feel about her finding me? Are you happy or angry?
Of course I'm happy, She actually helped me, Chris answered,''" "dress up, let's go grab an ice cream.
They were walking side by side, coming out of the ice cream shop, '' So when are we traveling home, wifey! Chris asked smiling
What! Stop that! Linda replied scowling at him
Stop what?
Stop calling me wifey
Aren't you my wife?
Linda turned to face him and said, '' Christian , look I know I'm the one that begged you for this favor, but I will appreciate it if you don't make jokes out of it please
I'm sorry if my joke didn't go well with you, I promise not to do it again, Chris replied
Thanks , Linda said
You're welcome, wifeyyy, Chris said running away, and Linda blushed .
By 5pm Madam Clarissa arrived home and was surprised not to see Christian home. Good evening honey, she said, pecking her husband and he smiled. Did the sun rise from the west today or what? Why the change?
My sweetie pie, do you mean I can't greet my husband again? Madam Clarissa inquired smiling
Ofcourse, that's not what am saying, I'm just asking incase I missed anything, Mr Chinedu said
Well you didn't miss anything, madam Clarissa said and started taking her shoes off , anyways, have you seen Christian? He wasn't at work today, I called his office and his house, they both said he isn't around, his own cell phone has been off,
Don't worry, maybe he just wants to be alone, let's give him today, Mr Chinedu suggested
Time alone to do what? The only time he deserves alone is if he's spending it talking about marriage with a lady, if not,then I'm not going to give him any time alone" Madam Clarissa said taking out her phone from her bag
Mum, Dad, I was with Linda and she asked me to marry her, Chris said barging into his parents
Mr Chinedu choked on his drink and started coughing
WHAT?? Madam Clarissa screamed
And a smile curled up Chris's face …
