"What? Wait, what?" I stammered. "Why? What?"

"You say 'what' too much." Jace said taking a sip of his coffee. "I said you're going to spend the day with me."

I sighed. "I heard you the first time. But why?"

"Why not?" He questioned back.

"Jace." I said sternly and he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Is it so wrong to spend time with my fake girlfriend?" A cheeky grin on his lips.

I arched an eyebrow. "We have titles?"

"Isn't that what you wanted? To be in a fake relationship?" He questioned again. Why does he always have to answer my question with a question?

"You weren't acting like my 'boyfriend' last night when you were all over that blonde chick." I spat and automatically regretted my words.

A devious smirk widen on Jace's lips and I wanted to kick myself. "Jealous?"

I scoffed. "You wish."

That only causes his lips to widen. "You were jealous." He said walking around the counter. "Jealous it wasn't you sitting on my lap." He said inching closer. "Jealous it wasn't you feeling my touches." His face inching closer to my own, I could smell his fresh minty breath. "Jealous it wasn't you who I was whispering sweet nothings to."

My whole body heated up from his words. The closing distance between us did not help.

Before I could react, the front door of the house swung home causing our heads to snap towards it. There stood two tall muscular figures and I knew exactly who they were.

Ian Carson and Luke Ryder.

Ian Carson is tall, about the same height as Jace. His dark brown hair fell kind of messily on the top of his head as if he ran his hand through it many times. His striking blue eyes felt like they could see into my soul and as if they held deep secrets. His chiseled jaw was set firm, a smirk tug on his lips.

Luke Ryder is about an inch short than the two, but still stood tall. His emerald green eyes sparked in the casting sunlight, they swirl with flecks of gold with in them. His light brown almost blonde hair was styled, cropped in the front. He held confusion on his handsome face.

All three were ridiculously good looking, but Jace had just a bit more over them.

I heard Jace mutter a slew of colorful words under his breath.

"Oh, don't let us interrupt you guys." Ian spoke, his voice help playfulness. His arms crossed over his muscular chest.

My cheeks heated up once more. Ugh, what is up with me and blushing?

The guys entered the kitchen area and just when I was about to take a sip of the hot oh so delicious coffee, the cup was snagged out of my hand by Ian. He took a sip while his piercing blue eyes were still on me and sent a wink my way.

But before I could react or say a thing, a pancake came flying and smacked Ian right in the center of his face causing the rest of us to burst out laughing.

"Leave her alone, asshole." I heard Jace say stifling a laugh.

Ian just glared at Jace while Luke ate a pancake watching the two. What an interesting trio.

"So you're the reason Jace left the bonfire early." Luke said while grabbing another pancake.

"Um." was all that came out of my mouth. What was I gonna say? Oh, Jace and I are in a fake relationship and we are trying to convince the school along with the person I fell in love with that we are together. How about no?

"I didn't say it was a bad thing." Luke added with a mischievous smile on his face as he saw my fluster state.

"What did I say?" Jace spoke once more smacking Luke at the back of his head. Now Luke was glaring at him.

"I better get going." I said getting off the stool. It was getting a little too awkward being in the same room as these bad boys and I needed to get out of there.

"Where do you think you're going?" Ian said sling an arm around my shoulders pulling me back to his side. "You're gonna be spending the day with us. We want figure out if these rumors are true."

I arched a brow at his words. "Rumors?" I questioned and Ian's lips quirked up in a smirk. I glanced over to Jace to see his face set in stone, his eyes staring straight at me. I felt slightly uncomfortable under his intense gaze.

"Don't you know?" Luke asked. "The whole school has been talking about the two of you."

My eyes widen at his words. Is he serious? Is this plan actually working?

"There's nothing going on." I said, trying to play it off. I couldn't let them know I was actually happy that everyone was believing our fake relationship.

"Sure." Ian said sarcastically. I shrug his arm off my shoulders and just as I did Jace snapped his eyes away.

"As great as all this has been, I really have to get going. I do have plans for today." I said lying through my teeth. I didn't have any plans other than Netflix and junk food, but they didn't know that.

"Cancel them. You're spending the day with me." Jace spoke his voice sharp.

"With us." Luke corrected him causing Jace to give him a pointed look.

"Why the hell are you guys even here?" Jace said with annoyance and that didn't sit well with the other two.

The trio started to argue with one another and took that as my cue to leave. I sneaked over to the front door and just as I was about to pick up my shoes I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist turning me around.

"Not so fast, sweetheart." Jace said. "I'm not gonna say it again, you are spending the day with me." He stated firmly.

At this point my anger shot up. "Excuse me? Who are you to tell what I have to do?" I spat. "If I don't want to spend the day with you that's my choice."

Jace's eyes held amusement and at the same time I heard Ian say. "Now I see the fascination."

He leaned down and whispered. "If you want to continue this charade you will spend the day with me." He pulled away giving me a cheeky smile.

I glared at him, hoping lasers shot out of my eyes and melted his handsome face. No such luck. "I hate you." I muttered.

"Don't worry, the day will come were that hate turns in to love." He said sending a wink towards me.

Not in this lifetime.

****

With a whole lot of arguing with Jace, I was able to convince him to let me go home and change out of these day old clothes. He only agreed when I threaten to kick him where the sun doesn't shine saying he needed it for special activities. Gross.

Somehow he was able to convince Ian and Luke to not tag along, but that only happened because he promised to meet up later with them and was told to bring me along. Great.

After a well need shower and a clean set of clothes which included a pair of medium washed jeans, burgundy colored shirt and pair of white sneakers, I walked out my house to see Jace leaning against his car waiting.

He was dressed in a pair of dark jeans and a black sweatshirt. His hair was still slightly damp from his shower. His hair was darker than usual do the dampness causing his hazel eyes to stand out even more. One of his hands were stuffed in his front pocket and the other one holding his cell phone as his eyes were trained on the device in front of him.

As I approach him I could see that his eyebrows were furrowed and his jaw was clenched. His whole body was tense. What ever he was looking at on his phone did not put him in a good mood.

"Something wrong?" I asked causing his eyes to snap up to my direction. His hard eyes automatically softened.

"No, its nothing." He said dismissively stuffing his phone into his pocket.

"You know, if you're busy we could totally reschedule this. I don't mind." I offered.

"Nice try." He said smirking at my failed attempt to get out of this. "Get in."

I reluctantly got into the car and Jace pulled off a few seconds later.

"Where are we going?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Nowhere special." He said simply. "We want to build on this momentum that we have going, you'll see."

As soon as Jace turned the corner I knew exactly where we were heading to. "No, I don't want to go there."

"Aw, come on. It will be great exposure for us." Jace teased.

"No, I refuse." I huffed crossing my arms over my chest as a sign of resistance.

"You don't have choice." He said as he parked the car. "We're already here."

"You really hate me, don't you?" I asked glaring at him and he just shrugged his shoulders. "Everyone is there! Our whole school is there, it's Saturday."

"That's why it's perfect for us." He said and got out of the car.

I groaned and did the same.

Jace came up to me and sling his strong arm around my shoulders which to I just glare at him.

I looked up to see the outdoor mall filled with people and I internally groaned. This place was the hangout spot for the town, especially on the weekends. Everyone was here, from the kids from our school, to parents and old people. When I said everyone, I meant EVERYONE.

I avoided this place like the plague on the weekends and I was planning on keeping it that way until today. Stupid Jace.

As soon as we entered, multiple pairs of eyes found their way to us. The attention was mainly from the kids from our school. I could see the words of what they were whispering float in the air.

"Are they together?"

"The rumors are true."

"Why her?"

"He could do so much more better."

With his arm still around my shoulder, Jace leaned down and whispered in my ear. "And so it begins." I could hear the smugness in his voice. He was enjoying this all too much.

Remind me to kick him in the balls.
