One Wild Night

An hour before the close of work Lucy raised her head from the laptop in front of her when her phone rang out. She picked it up and her lips curved in a smile when she saw the call was from Sonia. She had been holding back from calling Sonia since she felt she was disturbing her a lot lately, especially as she knew Sonia was busy writing a new story and didn't need to be distracted, even though Sonia would never complain.

"Hey!" Lucy greeted fondly as she stretched her legs under the desk.

"Guess what?" Sonia asked excitedly, making Lucy sit up immediately.

"Uhm... You're on your way to visit me?" Lucy asked hopefully.

"Well, at least you're right about one thing. I'm on my way to the airport right now, but not to see you. I'm going to pay Bryan a surprise visit," Sonia screeched excitedly and comported herself when she met the cab driver's eyes in the rearview mirror.

"Bryan? As in Bryan the actor? Your supposed fake fiance?" Lucy asked, and Sonia rolled her eyes.

"Is there any other Bryan you know?" Sonia asked dryly.

"He invited you over?" contemporary romance

Sonia sighed, "What part of the 'surprise' in the surprise visit did you miss?"

"Why? I mean why are you going to see him if he didn't invite you over? Your relationship is fake after all. I don't think he is going to like that," Lucy said with furrowed brows.

"Don't worry about me, I got it all perfectly figured out. By the way, how is it going with your CEO? You resumed at his office today, right?" Sonia asked, swiftly changing the subject.

"I'm worried about you. You're too impulsive and I fear you might get yourself in trouble one of these days," Lucy said with a sigh. Sonia had been her best friend for like since forever, and since Sonia's parents died in a car crash three years ago, she was like the only family Sonia had left. Somewhere deep down she had wished something would happen between Sonia and her twin brother, but neither of them was interested in the other, and Lucas was very much in love with his high school sweetheart who he had engaged some weeks ago. So there was no hope of her best friend getting together with her twin brother.

"Believe me, you have nothing to worry about. I'm okay, and I'm handling myself properly. Now answer my question, have you met your boss yet? What is he like? How handsome is he?" Sonia asked again.

"I haven't met him, and I highly doubt he is handsome," Lucy lowered her voice in case anyone was eavesdropping on her conversation, "As a matter of fact I suspect be must be very hideous."

"Hideous? Why would you think that?" Sonia asked curiously.

"I was instructed not to look at him, or speak directly to him since he prefers exchanging messages via texts and emails. Who does that? Anyway, thinking about it now I realize it's not very strange since most people don't even know what he looks like," Lucy concluded.

"Well, that is your theory. I have a better one. I think he must be so handsome that he is hiding his face from the world because he doesn't want ladies to drop dead at the sight of him," Sonia said with a wide smile, and Lucy rolled her eyes.

"Time will tell."

"Anyway, guess what I found out?" Sonia asked excitedly once again.

"You found out that you are in love with Bryan?" Lucy asked dryly, making Sonia giggle.

"No. I'm not in love with him yet, but I certainly want to know him and fall in love with him."

"Is that what you found out?" Lucy asked with a yawn.

"No. Your boss happens to be Bryan's older brother!" Sonia said excitedly.

Lucy's eyes widened in surprise as she sat up on her seat. "What?" She hadn't been expecting that.

"You're surprised, right? I was too. So you see? There is absolutely no way your boss can look hideous!" Sonia said confidently.

"What if he was involved in an accident and got disfigured? Or perhaps he was born with some sort of disability which he is hiding from the world?" Lucy asked, not wanting to change her theory about him being ugly.

"You've been reading too many novels. I don't think that is the case. But imagine us being sister-in-laws if we get married to both brothers. That would make a good story, right?" Sonia asked with a bright smile.

"It isn't realistic. Stuff like that only happens in movies and novels, not in reality. Besides I have no interest whatsoever in my weird boss, and I'm sure he isn't interested in me either," Lucy said confidently.

"Don't be so sure. I wonder what he might think when he finds out his assistant is the best friend of his future sister-in-law," Sonia thought out loud.

"I'd rather he doesn't know anything personal about me, so please keep your mouth shut. Don't go telling your fake fiance anything either," Lucy warned.

"Whatever, I need to go now, I will let you know once I safely arrive at my fiance's home," that Sonia hung up.

She returned her phone into her handbag and looked outside through the cab window. She was grateful for the sunglasses she was wearing which shielded her eyes from the sharp glare of the late afternoon sunlight. Although she was looking outside, she wasn't seeing anything as her mind was very far away. She tried to imagine all that could happen between her and Bryan during this visit. Was she doing the right thing? All she knew at the moment was that she liked Bryan, she wanted fun and also wanted inspiration for her story. Though getting married and having kids with him, were all secondary goals, but they were part of her plan. She wanted to start a family, and she wanted it to be with him.

Soon the cab came to a stop in front of the airport and she alighted after paying the cab driver. Her lips twitched with satisfaction when she noticed the attention she was receiving from men and women alike. With her long curly blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, she was dressed in a sexy yellow, mini, bodycon sequin dress, which was long-sleeved and had a v-neckline. Her beige-colored high-heeled sandals, made clinking sounds as she moved. Carrying her handbag in one hand, and holding the handle of her medium-sized bus, on the other hand, she slowly made her way inside the airport while enjoying the attention she was receiving. Being the fiancee of a celebrity like Bryan, she knew she needed to dress appropriately in an eye-catching manner. She was a vision to behold.

She stopped midway and took out her phone from her handbag when she remembered she was yet to take pictures. She snapped several beautiful and cute selfies before asking a male passerby to take pictures of her, making sure her engagement ring was visible in all the photos. After that, she logged on to her Instagram and Twitter page and uploaded some of the photos, and tagged Bryan to them with the caption "Finally going to spend some time off work, with the love of my life."

She knew he had been unable to trace her via social media because she wasn't using her real name on social media. Once she was done she dropped the phone inside her bag and continued to the point where she was to check-in for her flight.

She had a grin on her face as she imagined how shocked he would be when he sees her post. She would have preferred to show up at his house unannounced, but she wanted a lot of publicity.. That would keep him on his toes and as such make him more accomodating.
