Love isn't lost

Second deal

Ashley's pov
After dressing up he came to pick at exactly 8pm, you look gorgeous Ashley's,
I looked down and replied,thank you, you don't look bad yourself, he smiled
Come on let's go I don't want us to be late for our reservation.

He pulled a chair for me to sit and I thanked him.
We ordered for food but I could barely eat as I'm full of nerves, what did he want to talk about now.

'Are you feeling a little full? Cause I see you barely touch your food. ' Damien asked

' just a little' He nodded his head and his eyes never left mine..

What why are you staring at me, is there something on my face? I asked.

'Because there is just something about you that I can't put a finger on.

' What do you mean? He leaned closer to me and scooted his chair once so he was directly next to me.

' I mean you are constantly in my head and i just can't get you out of my mind' I bit my lip as I processed the information.

' OH was all I could say as I looked down.

So about what I brought you here to discuss, you know my mum had an attack recently

Yes I nodded,
Well it partially because of me, she is always stressing about when I will get married and all that and I will do anything to make my mother happy, even if that includes me getting married

OH, I'm sure he want to tell me our deal is off, he probably has a rich pretty girl his about to get married to, I feel so stupid right now, it thought

So that's what prompt to make this deal with you, I want to us to have a contract marriage, just to make my mother happy, I will make sure I pay you any amount you want

' What? Are you crazy, do you think I'm a gold digger that's just after your money, what the hell do you take me for,
Hey hey listen to me, I don't think you are a gold digger I just felt like if you decided to help me with this, you should also get something in return I know this sounds crazy,but I trust you and I feel like you are the only person that can help me with this.
Please just know I don't think you are a gold digger, I just don't want to meet a stranger that I know nothing about

'He looks so desperate begging me and I don't even know what to say, I was still trying to come to term with the first deal he made with me, why can't he just see my feelings for him and accept it,
So how does this works out?

'Okay I will call me lawyer then we write up a contract and you just let me knw your own terms too and we will put it into consideration.
But nobody can know this is a contract marriage, we will just come up with a story and how we fell in love with each other and can't wait to get married.

He dropped me home, after I told him I will think about it,
Take care of yourself Ashley ' goodnight.
I just nodded
