Just Fake It

“Sure, I’ll pretend to be your wife.”
I can’t believe those words came out of my mouth.
Justin is an edgy movie director on the verge of winning a major award.
He’s arrogant, rich and hot AF.
And he needs the illusion of a perfect little wife to break into Hollywood’s elite inner circle.
I melted the first time I saw him walk into the restaurant I work in.
With his tall athletic build, dark stubble and beaten leather jacket.
I moved to this town with dreams of making it big as an actress.
5-years later I’m a single mom who is just a cliched beat-down waitress with tarnished aspirations of stardom.
Acting like I’m in love with him is easy… too easy.
The way he looks at me, touches me, protects me.
I’m falling hard for my fake husband, which wasn’t part of the deal.
He’s a notorious player with a line-up of aspiring actresses at his beck and call.
This feels real though. Maybe I’m different?
This might be the role of a lifetime, in more ways than one.
