Lola's POV

I stepped backwards with the knife pointed at his face.

This was a bad idea.

I'll run away! I can't let this rich boy kill me before my time.

Immediately his hands leg go of me, the feel of blood rushing through my wrist made me wince a little.

“Geez” I said as I slipped my knife back into my pocket and massaged my wrists with my hands.

I hate when people think they can rough handle me.

I mean did he really expect me to tell him my real name?!

Idiot!!

His eyes widened open as he stepped towards as I looked at him in confusion.

“What?!” I asked as I took another step back, still massaging my wrists frantically.

“Did you really expect me to say my real name?! You have no right to drag me out like that. What is wrong with you?!” I yelled as my face formed anger even though I knew I was at fault.

He must have felt really stupid, once he figured he was lied to.

Within a split second, he walked towards me and grabbed my hand swiftly.

I pulled it away as I stared at him, feeling unsafe.

What have I gotten myself into?!

Maybe he really was a pervert after all.

“Stay fucking still, would you?!” He asked as he grabbed my hand and stared at my wrist as I wondered what he was looking at.

I looked towards my wrist and noticed it looked a bit red.

Welcome to my world!!

He held me so tight, jeez!!

But it was going to disappear before an hour, so I wasn't worried.

“Can you stop?! I know I'm pretty but you don't have to be all creepy about it” I told him as I decided not to make a big deal about it as I withdrew my hand.

He just let me go as he took in a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

“Lola! That is your real name?!” He asked me as I rolled my eyes, shaking my head.

“No” I lied again as he placed his hand on his forehead in frustration.

“Would you fucking stop lying?! I really hate liars.”He told me as I huffed out a sigh, thinking of what to say.

I couldn't lie about my identity anymore. Tunmise clearly knew me well.

We were once friends.

“Yeah. I'm Lola but you can't blame me for lying, I hated the fact you might run a background check on me. And I have a family to protect” I explained, opening my bag again and pulling out a pack of cigarette.

He clearly looked pissed off.

“Look! If you are honest with me, and you do what I asked you to do, we will never hear from each other again. And I don't care about your family. I would just hate for something like this to happen again” He rambled on in anger as I looked at him with a straight face.

Okay!!

“Yeah, okay” I replied pulling out a stick of cigarette.

I needed to get him out of my hair.

Fake girlfriend for one day and I can get back to my normal life.

Deal!

“So, no more lies, please?!” He asked in a hopeful tone.

Ehrm... It depends.

“Fine, whatever” I told him as he sighed before walking towards me.

“Let me take this for starters” He collected the cigarette and the pack from me, walking towards the trash and tossing them in.

Whuttttt!!

Not again.

“I know you don't smoke” He said as he walked back towards where he was standing before.

“How is that your business?!” I asked in frustration as he ignored me walking back into the mall.

Jerk!!

Derinsola's POV

I couldn't help but wonder who the hell this girl was.

One thing I knew was I could not afford to trust anything that comes out from her mouth.

She was a pathological liar, and I hated liars.

I really despised people lying to me and making me look stupid.

One reason I resented Deborah.

She didn't lie to me but kept me in the dark, like an idiot.

A part of me hated her guts and knew I was playing a dangerous game, while the other part of me was curious.

How could she be so bubbly, pretty and well-spoken but was a complete thief?!

Didn't she have parents?!

What did she mean by she had a family to protect?!

I couldn't help but think back to the fury and worry her eyes held when Kola had decided to threaten her with her sister.

My eyes trailed them as they talked and giggled, pointing at different outfits, while occasionally Tunmise shot air kisses at me.

Fool!!

She had used the fact that my 'girlfriendʼ was with me to put her bills on me.

I wondered why she related more with me than her actual brother.

Probably because Kola is a stingy goat.

While watching them, I couldn't help but notice Lola, or whatever the fuck her name was massage her wrist frantically.

I honestly didn't mean to hurt her in any way, I was just clouded by rage.

But she.... she pointed a knife at me.

What a bitch!

I watched her hang two dresses on her right arm as she looked towards me as winked and I couldn't help but glare back at her.

I received a text from my assistant, reminding me I had a meeting soon.

I immediately stood up, walking towards them with an impatient look on my face.

“Okay, I have to get going now” I told Lola as she nodded, staring at me blankly.

“Okay” She responded as I tried so hard to hide the irritation I was feeling.

There was no way, I was leaving her with Tunmise, especially since we hadn't planned out a meeting story or something.

She was going to screw things up.

“Bye” She said as she waved with a shrug.

“We have somewhere to be” I told her clenching my teeth a little as Tunmise looked at us in a look of disbelief.

“Hmm, you guys are definitely a weird couple.” She said as she proceeded to hang some clothes back on.

“Anyways, you can leave, after we pay for the clothes” Tunmise said as I pulled out my card and handed it over to her, signalling her to hurry up.

“Thank youuuuu” She squealed before walking away, with a grin.

I stood there in silence, hoping Lola doesn't open up her mouth to spew rubbish.

“Ohhh! I just remembered something” She spoke out snapping her fingers repeatedly and facing me.

“No kissing. If we get to kiss, you'll pay me extra. Deal?!” She warned sternly as I looked at her in annoyance.

“Fine” I agreed dismissing the topic as she smiled, slowly humming to the tune in the store.

Lola's POV

Great!! Now I just had to make him pay extra.

Everything is about being smart gurll!

I mentally high-five myself as I noticed Tunmise walk back towards us as she handed me a paper bag with a few clothes in it.

Thank youuuuu!

I can forget about shopping for a while.

We bidded our goodbyes after we exchanged phone numbers and I stupidly gave her my actual and registered number.

When I had given Derin a number I had bought off an old lady who was sick of her network issues.

It was useless, digging up any information with that number.

But when he compares the number, he was probably going to be able to find out that.....

What am I even saying?! It would all be over by Saturday and I'll block them all out of my life for good.

Right?!

Yupp!

Definitely.

I felt an arm wrap around my neck as I felt my body stiffen up in utter shock.

I looked towards the owner of the arm and he looked towards me, and back to Tunmise, as if trying to tell me something.

Ohhhhh!!

Okay, I get it.

I smiled as I relaxed my body, leaning closer as I noticed Tunmise waving before walking towards the other end of the mall.

Derin, the rich guy and I just walked out the exit, while I found myself almost drooling at his wonderful scent.

He smelled like freshly washed laundry and a hint of expensive.

By expensive, I mean that his spray probably cost much more than everything I have on me right now.

I couldn't help but wonder how I got here.

How the hell was I cozying up with some rich ass snub, who probably thinks I'm part time thief and full time whore/liar.

Sense immediately flowed back to my brain as I pulled his hand off my neck, as I dropped the smile on my face, forming my expression back into a bored one.

I deserve to be paid more, after all the crap I had fed Tunmise in there, while this guy sat there, typing away on his phone.

If we were meant to plan a background story, I'm afraid it's not gonna work out.

I already put together a story of my own.

“Okay, thanks for today, I guess. Bye. See ya on Saturday. And remember, try as much as you can to keep your hands off me. I mean, I am irrisistable but sti....” I rambled, warning him about the fact that anything intimate was off the table.

Aside from the kiss, I'm planning in my head.

I needed as much money as I could get from this guy, so I'm planning a surprise kiss for him.

And more money for me.

Win win, right?!

“Shut up” He cut me off as I scoffed at his words.

Is that how to walk to a lady?!

“Okay, bye” I said in a bored expression as I turned to leave, but paused when I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.

I pulled out the phone and could barely see a thing, due to the intense brightness of the sun.

I squinted my eyes, trying to get the name of the caller as I shuffled away from Derinsola.

I suddenly caught the name of the caller as I widened my eyes, at the name.

It was the home.

My mother's home.

What was going on?!

Did they want to move her?!

Questions spiralled in my head as I felt my hands slide the answer button, feeling anxiety rush through me.

But I was even more stunned, when the blaring sound of a car horn filled the air.

Before I could register what was going on, i felt a rough tug on my arm, yanking me backwards as my body took a quick turn before ramming into a hard figure.

The paper bag in my hand dropped unto the floor as I felt my heart race in fear, at the sudden movements.

I paused for a while, as my brain still tried to process everything but the familiar smell of expensive cologne engulfed me, with my face still pressed against this figure.

Let it not be...

I slowly looked upwards, hoping I hadn't just crashed into the rich guy who I had just warned to minimise physical contact.

My eyes met with the face of an irritated Derinsola.

Ohh shit!

I immediately took a quick step away from him as he just stared me down, while I waited for him to pass a witty comment or warning.

But after examining me, he just strolled back towards his car leaving me standing there like an idiot.

I immediately remembered why I had crashed into him in the first place and turned to see if the car was still in the parking lot but it was gone.

Tchh! What kind of stupid driver wants to run someone over here in a parking lot.

Not even on the road.

“Hello” I heard a croaky sound as I snapped my head towards my phone and placed it back on my ear.

“Hello, good afternoon” I replied, picking up the paper bag and examining the area before continuing my journey.

Tomorrow was Friday.

And the next, was Saturday.

Fake girlfriend Saturday.
