"good day sir! Do you need anything?". I asked as he answers back with another question, "who are you?" He says geeking suspiciously at me.
I choked up heeding to his words, has it found out about my real identity or his just being suspicious about me?... So many questions ran through my mind, I had no option but to blatantly tell a lie without any atom of doubtful feeling draping around me, I said" my name is Karol Fisher, I lost my parents while I was younger, so l live to with, my aunt!".
Come to think of it, which was not a entirely a lie.
Smith's suspicious glare kept growing strong, he fills up the distance between us and walks past after being satisfied with my answer.
I veered back and saw him amble upstairs, I buffed a relief breath, not quite long Darren walk up to me and asked with a warm smile, "do you want to dance?".
He tugged his hands out, idling to see my reaction, I thought it wise that it was best to blend in, so, I took his hand as he dragged me to the dance floor.
(Dancing floor) ....
We dance, fixing the eyes of the guest who stopped and watched us dance. Darren stares deeply into my eyes, he tugged me close to himself and cutely bent his head over, my eyes widened up thinking he was going for a kiss, rather he pulls my hair up and whispers to my eyes, "meet me in my room, in an hour, I am a surprise for you!". (He walks away, pointing out the directions to his room.
A while later, it's been an hour, I sneaked upstairs without letting eyes pay attention to me, most especially Mr. Smith himself.
I weaved the door to his room and walked in to see that the room was decorated with flowers and I huge sign that reads, "please marry me, miss Karol Fisher".
Seeing such a sign made no sense to me, it's either Darren was mistaken me for someone else or I was literally in the wrong room, quickly I veered back to leave when suddenly a hand weaves me back and pinned me to the wall.
"D... Darren" I stuttered out my words, as he pokes his lips closer to mine, the intensity of his gaze felt like a burning desire was gradually arising from my body, I closed my eyes trying to lock up any wired feeling's, abruptly I took heed of his voice, he says" I have a proposal for you!", He moves back creating a distance between us. I Veered and raised a question, "what proposal?".
Darren smile's seeing how curious I was, anticipating to hear the sudden proposal he has for me, he retorts back, "I want us to get married! For a couple of three months then after that we will go our separate ways!".
I jerked my head in disapproval, "are you mad?" I said draping a startled look on my face. He snarls to me before answering back, "I know it's crazy but we won't be getting married for real, I just need someone to help me attain my inheritance from my dad, he says I won't get anything that belongs to me if I don't get married with three months.
"No! I cannot do it". For the second time, I declined his offer, rather Darren pleads I think about it before returning my final answer to him.
I shook my head taking heed of his words, as we both returned to the party.
Ravi, Darren's mom saw us the second we veered into the party, she shoots a smile at us and gestured out to me, "please come". She signal waving her to me, I wonder why she called, but only one way to find out.
