✿ Reid's POV
“As it's a common thing for couples to do... yes Lee. We have to kiss.”
Her eyes grow wide. Even I hadn't thought of it. How could we make everyone believe we were together without kissing? She sits up.
“Maybe this isn't a good idea, Armani,” she says. “Let's just forget about this, okay?”
Is she that worried about a kiss?
I hold out my hand to her.
“Give me your hand.”
“W-What... why?” she stammers.
Kisses were nothing. I sigh and gently take her hand. They were incredibly soft. I press a quick kiss to it and smile up at her.
“That wasn't so bad was it?” I ask.
She makes a face and snatches her hand back, wiping it off on her apron.
“Gross.”
I arch a brow.
“Gross?”
“Gross” she repeats.
I let out a playfully pained breath through my mouth and her lips quirk into the tiniest of smiles.
“Just promise you won't kiss me any more than what's necessary, okay?”
I nod.
“Yes ma'am” I promise.
It was odd, but I wouldn't mind having to kiss her more than necessary. She was cute and had this light in her I liked. No one could make me smile this much in a single seating but she seemed to have no problem doing it at all.
“Mainly around my relatives if we happen across them” I clear my throat, dismissing my thoughts.
“You've thought this out very precisely,” she mutters.
“Because I need this work, Lee,” I say. “That Aussie has to go.”
“Mm,” she hums and pushes my phone back at me.
“All done?”
“Yes.”
“Sooo... are we good?” I ask.
“Yes.”
I smile and nod.
“Okay...”
“On another condition though.”
I look at her.
Another one?
She leans toward me.
“When all this is said and done, you tell everyone I broke up with you, not the other way around.”
I scoff.
“Sure. Anika did it. It won't be surprising for the baker to either” I say.
A playful smile crosses her face.
“Excellent.”
I nod.
“But you have to agree to another condition of mine.”
“Seriously, Armani?” she frowns.
I nod. Lee sighs.
“Fine. What is it?”
I lean towards her this time.
“You most definitely can not fall in love with me,” I whisper, holding her gaze.
