    Felix listened closely as Skye shared bits about herself. He gave her small nods as she listed off what she enjoyed to do. All of it was interesting enough, and some of it aligned closely with what he enjoyed to do with his free time. Though he was a bit surprised to hear that the young woman had brothers. Especially since now he wondered if he would somehow have to deal with them. He knew family could be protective and if they were to accidentally find out about this arrangement...Well, he was sure that they could cause him some trouble.

    "Do you plan on telling your parents about our arrangement?" Felix asked her softly. "I am afraid that this would make it onto the news and I would not want you to get into any trouble with your family." He glanced over at her curiously for a long moment. As for himself, he was unsure which was better. Them thinking that they were in love or knowing the truth. it was hard to say, but Skye knew her family and would know what was best.

    The man cleared his throat slightly before continuing on. "As for myself, I have two brothers. Vincent and Peter. I grew up here but we traveled much as children and I went to a boarding school in England. I assume you already know a bit about my father as he is the owner but as for my mother, she died we I was very young. So it was mostly our father taking care of us and he has very high expectations. Which was fine with my brothers and I for the most part but I can't say any of us are happy about the will situation..."

    He continued on. "Anyways, there are some things I do when I have free time. I also enjoy horseback riding. I don't volunteer exactly but there are certain charities that I donate to. Though I enjoy car racing, hockey, and piloting."

    Regarding her parents, Skye let out a small hum and glanced up towards the ceiling of the beautiful dining room she was in. "I think." She startedm then paused as she tried to figure out what she wanted to say on the topic. "I might have to dance around the topic of seeing someone, but since they're both not very good with computers, I'd say that it won't really reach them that we're engaged." Skye glanced towards Felix as she mentioned the word engaged. "My brothers Caleb and John are in the Marines right now over seas, so they won't have a chance to know. Mikie on the other hand." Skye shrugged her shoulders, Mikie was a musicion in some country band, he was to busy to worry about his little sister.

    "Are you close with your brothers?" Skye asked as she glanced towards Felix for a moment. Curious, as she had thought that he was a only child. She wasn't really into those gossip articles online, but she was pretty sure she hasn't read about any siblings online or hear about any from her friends. It was seeming like the Anderson family were all really private people.

    When Felix continued to speak, Skye arched an eyebrow and looked at her boss with surprise. She did not expect to hear him say any of that stuff. "You know, I've always imagined rich people only enjoyed golf and tennis." She said, a small laugh escaping from her. "Do you play hockey at all, or just like watching it?" she asked, curious about him hobbies. "For piloting, what do you pilot?" She crossed her hands gently as she listened to Felix, she was done eating and drinking, but the conversation was just so interesting between them.

    Feeling like they needed a new topic, Skye racked her brain for a moment before asking. "Did you always want to run your father business when you were younger?" She asked, her voice soft, as she wasn't sure if it was a sore topic since it sounded like his childhood was a little rough.

    That would make things a bit easier, not having her family interfere too much. If there was a way for her family to completely avoid the news, Felix would be thankful. He was lucky enough that Skye was willing to participate in this insanity, but who knew what her family would think. And it would only make matters worse if her family decided to blow this whole thing up to the public. That would be a huge embarrassment for him and would surely blow everything up. "Well, if they do happen to find out, please let me know. But, otherwise, I will leave it to you to handle."

    Felix let out a small hum at Skye's question. He glanced over at his food for a moment, taking a moment to think before beginning to answer. "It is hard to explain. I am...somewhat close with my brothers but I would not say that it is a normal family relationship. We spend holidays with each other and such but besides that, not much. If someone needs help, I will be there but it is not like we see each other on a weekly basis." He told her, trying to make it simpler than it really was. In truth, his brothers and him were in strong competition between each other, over almost everything.

    With her next words, he let out a laugh. "No, but I do know how to play golf and tennis." Felix smiled widely at her. "But I mostly play for charities or when others want to. As for hockey, I can't say I am particularly good myself but I have played some games. I prefer watching though. As for piloting, I know how to fly small planes and helicopters. Just private planes." He told her with a small shrug, though a smirk over his face as he did so.

    The man then let out a small hum before giving a small shake of his head. "Not exactly, but I do want to now. It is important to me."

    Just sitting here and talking with Felix was a mind-blowing experience. The man was the number one bachelor in America, for a couple of years running now and to think. Here she was, little Skye, a girl from the country trying to make her big dreams happen just so happened to stumble upon a little deal with the mega hottie. This was like a dream, and if it was, Skye didn't want to ever wake up from it. Ever.

    "Since you can pilot planes and boats, does that mean that you own a few? Or, do you just rent something when you feel like doing that sort of stuff?" Skye asked, trying to understand how often the man could do these things that he likes. "I mean, how often do you get to enjoy those sorts of things?" Her cheeks turned a little pink, she didn't want to seem like a gold digger, she was just curious about the life of a mega-millionaire who she was supposed to be fake engaged to.

    As they both finished eating, Skye let out a happy sigh. She hadn't had such an amazing meal like that in a while. Not since she moved out here to the city at least. Living off of microwave meals and cheap pizza mostly because of her college debt being a huge strain on her.

    Glancing at Felix once he was done eating as well, Skye nervously bit her bottom lip. "How about that tour?" She asked as she glanced around the room, wondering what way they'd start exploring. This place was monstrous, and she was pretty sure that she'll more than likely get lost the first few nights that she's to spend here.

    "I have two planes that I share with my brothers. We all chipped in to own them ourselves. It is less about the expense and more to do with the fact that none of us fly enough to own our own plane." Felix told her honestly. "We just would not get enough use out of it." He gave her a small shrug before continuing on. "Though I do own my boats."

    "For flying, I am not able to get out as often as I would like. Though I am able to go out and boat enough. I am close to the water here and it is easy to go out for an hour or so when I desire to. But, there are some periods of time where it seems that all I have time for outside of work is to sleep and eat." It was true. Felix could easily become overwhelmed with the amount of work that he had to do.

    Felix was not too concerned about all of the questions that she was asking. He understood that there was a lot of mystery about his status. About what his and his family's life was life. Any superficial question, Felix was willing to answer. Though if she became too nosy about his personal life with his family, then Felix would have to dance around that.

    Once they were both done eating, Felix moved onto his feet and headed over to Skye. A warm smile on his face as he offered her his arm so he could escort her around the premise. "Yes, lets have that tour now."

    The last thing that Skye had expected from Felix was for him to offer her, his arm. It was so cute and funny, that she couldn't help the small giggle that escaped from her lips as she stood up from her seat at the table. "Yes, let's." She said as she offered him a small smile as she gently grasped onto his arm as she followed him through the house. Her bright green eyes widening ever so slightly as she took everything in.

    One of the living rooms, the backyard that led down to the lake, the indoor pool, the massive kitchen and then finally. Her room for when she was to stay here with him.

    "Wow." Skye breathed out breathlessly as she looked around the beautiful room that she was going to be using. Her footsteps were light and quiet as she walked around inside of the bedroom. Her bright green eyes taking everything in. It was like the room was brought out of a picture in a home decorating magazine. It was just breathtaking. Slowly, Skye ran the tip of her fingers over the plush duvet that was on the bed. Then, she slowly turned towards Felix. "Are you sure it's alright for me to use this room when I stay over? It's a beautiful room." She asked quietly as she looked around once more. "It almost feels like a shame to mess things up by sleeping in here." She breathed out. Lost for any more words that dared to try and escape from her lips.

    "I am sure that it is okay," Felix assured her with a warm smile. "And if you want to leave things here to make it easier for yourself, then you may also do that. I assure you that no one else will be using this room during our arrangement." That was true. Felix had more than enough guest bedrooms that he was perfectly fine with leaving this one off-limit for the time being. "And do not worry about making a mess, your room will be cleaned. Just try not to destroy it."

    As he joked lightly, Felix gave her a small wink before stepping into the room with Skye. He headed towards the adjoining bathroom, opening the door for her. "The bathroom should have everything that you need in it while you are here. And there are also some clothes in the closet, which I have bought for you, for some of our in public dates." Felix then headed towards the closet and opened it, showing her a good amount of high fashion clothes that went from relaxed evening wear to gala type dresses. "If any of them do not fit, or are not your type, I can have them returned. I just wanted to ensure that you had what you needed, especially for any formal event we attend together."

    Felix glanced over at the closet for a moment before looking back at Skye. "Would you mind trying on one of the dresses now? I would just like to see it on you, to make sure that I have gotten the right size." He asked as he stepped back a bit, a slight smile on his face as he did so. "Though, if you do not wish to right now, that is okay as well."

    As Felix spoke, a small smile slowly formed on Skye's lips. It was nice to hear those reassuring words from him. Especially since she was technically an outsider to this whole thing. She was being pulled into some family drama that she barely knew about, so whatever reassurance she could get, was appreciated.

    "Right, I promise to not party by myself too much in here." She replied before giggling slightly as she saw the wink. Amusement dancing along in her eyes as she watched as he started to move about the room. Listening intensely as he spoke and showed her the bathroom that was to be hers for the time being.

    Then, Skye couldn't help but to arch a brow as Felix started to speak about buying her clothes and opening the closet to show her. "Oh, wow." She said quietly as she took a couple of steps closer to the closet. Her bright green eyes roamed over the beautiful clothing that was all hung up or folded professionally.

    A small smirk slowly found it's way onto Skye's lips as she listened to Felix. She stared at him for a moment out of the corner of her eye before she turned to him and faked a surprised look. Her hand coming up to cover her mouth as she let out a small gasp. "Oh, my Mister Anderson. Are you being a dominating fiance already? Picking out my clothes for me? Oh my." She lowered her hand and replaced her surprised expression to one that was completely amused. A small giggle escaped from her lips once more as she looked back towards the clothing and pulled out a dress.

    "I'll be right back." She told him as she took the dress and headed into the bathroom. A couple of moments later, Skye walked out and did a small twirl for Felix. "I think it fits me surprisingly well," Skye said as she stopped her twirl and looked towards Felix. She raised her hand and tucked some hair behind her right ear. "What do you think?"

    Felix let out a chuckle and shook his head at Skye as she teased him about being a dominating fiancee. He knew that she was joking by the look on her face. Nonetheless, he was going to respond to her. Leaning against the wall, he moved his hands into his pockets as he looked her over. "I am just trying to make your life easier sweetheart," Felix said with a smirk. "But if you don't like it, then I can always return the clothes."

    As Skye headed into the bathroom, Felix leaned back into the wall and waited for her to come out. Though once she did, a large smile came across his face. "It looks perfect on you," Felix said as he headed over and moved his hand against the small of her back. "There is just one more thing we need to do tonight." He said softly as he led her out of the bedroom and out towards the patio of the house, the last place that they needed to tour.

    The patio and the view out to the ocean were gorgeous. But there was something else remarkable about it. The patio was covered in rose petals and there were large vases of the flower as well. There were also candles all over the place. But, there was also a photographer hiding in the corner to take pictures.

    He brought her out further onto the patio before getting down on one knee and holding out an engagement ring to Skye. "Will you marry me?"

    The corners of Skye's lips rose ever so slightly as she listened to Felix's teasing. She gave him a quick side look before she turned her attention to the full-length mirror that was in the room. She gave herself a quick once over, making sure that she did indeed looked alright in the dress.

    Noticing Felix moving closer to her, Skye raised her gaze and looked up at him. "What?" She asked quietly, a look of confusion on her face as she allowed for the taller man to turn her and lead her out onto the patio. A small gasp of surprise escaped from her as she looked around and took everything in. The beautiful view, the roses that covered everything. It was so breathtakingly beautiful. The moon reflected on the water like a jewel and glistened brightly, causing the patio to pretty much glow.

    Then, she slowly turned towards Felix as she felt him removing his hand from her back, and, for a moment. She forgot that they were just pretending all of this. Her hands both moved up to cover her mouth in surprise. "OH my god, Felix." Skye squeaked out as she saw him on one knee. The words that escaped from his lips making her feel extremely giddy like it was a real proposal.

    "Yes, of course!" She replied excitedly. Her head nodding up and down like an idiot, not sure how else she was supposed to respond to him. "Oh my god." She said breathlessly as she lowered her hands from her face, revealing her slightly pink cheeks. "Yes, yes, thousand times yes." She told him as she slowly stuck her hand out for him to slip the ring onto her finger for her. Then, being caught up in the moment, Skye waited for Felix to stand up straight before she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. Not noticing the photographer as he caught all of the intimacy of the most staged event.

    A large smile moved over Felix's face as he watched Skye's reaction. He had been a little afraid that she would be upset about the surprise. Though it was very clear that she felt otherwise about it. Felix was rather pleased with his decision. Especially since Skye's own reaction was getting him overly excited as well.

    As she offered her hand, Felix slid the ring onto her finger. He remembered her asking for nothing too flashy, but he could not help himself. Besides, it would make it more believable that Felix wanted to put as many gems on it as possible. At least, he didn't go for something gaudy. Hopefully, Skye would like it enough since she would have to wear it over the next several months. But he would get her opinion of it a bit later.

    Once he was back onto his feet, he felt Skye immediately wrap her arms around his neck. Felix was quick to wrap his arms around her waist, holding her as close as she was holding him. Felix leaned down and pressed a kiss against her cheek. After a few moments, Felix slid his hands up her waist slightly as he took a step or two back. His hand moved up and pressed against her cheek. "I am very glad that you are happy." Felix whispered to her before taking another step back, one hand letting go of her waist as the other wrapped around her side.

    Felix glanced back at the photographer, who was now standing up fully and heading over to them both, also a large smile on his face as he did so. "Congrats to the both of you." He said before looking to Skye. "Would you like me to take a picture of the two of you, while you're showing off the ring?"

    Felix looked down at Skye. "Would you darling?"

    It was all pretended, Skye knew that, but at the moment. She didn't care, she might have just met Felix personally, but this was a really fun thing to play through. She hasn't thought about marriage before, well, except when she was a little girl. But, if this was a real proposal, then she wished that it would go the exact same way as this one.

    Slowly, Skye turned to the side ever so slightly. Meaning to step out of Felix's grasp when her bright green eyes met with the photographer. "Oh." She said quietly, her eyes blinking in surprise a she looked from the photographer and then towards Felix and back again. Having the whole proposal photographed had gone over Skye's mind, and she had no idea how to respond. "Um, think you." She said quietly once more as her heart slowly settled it's self.

    At the question the photographer asked, Skye glanced up at Felix. A small look of undertainty appearing in her eyes for a moment. "Is that okay?" She asked him, remembering that Felix told her that he didn't like showing off very much. Then, once she'd get his approval since he asked if she wanted to anyways, Skye slowly rested her hand on Felix's chest. The ring that was now on her finger in full view and would no dought pull everyone's eyes towards it if they were to look at the picture of the two of them. Then, the second would be the fact that she was leaning against him like a loving fiance with a bright smile gracing her lips.

    As the photographer took the pictures, Skye felt her cheeks slowly turning pink. This was the first time all night she couldn't help but to blush. "I can't believe you hired someone to take pictures." She said quietly as the man checked his camera to make sure the pictures came out nicely. Her bright green eyes looked up towards Felix as she stayed close to him as she spoke.

    "Of course." Felix assured her as Skye asked if he was okay with taking a few more photos. He truly did not mind, especially since it was his idea for the man to come to take pictures of them. Once Skye seemed sure

    Once the photographer gave Felix the thumbs up, Felix thanked the man for his time before letting him head on his way out. The photographer headed off of the patio to go to his car, but before he left, he left Felix know that the photos would be sent later that week before he left. Felix then turned his attention back to Skye. He gently wrapped an arm around her waist and headed back into the house, closing the door behind them as he did so. Only once was the door behind them secure did Felix start to respond to her.

    "Well, I thought it would be the easiest way to show people that we are engaged. Especially if the paparazzi somehow got ahold of those photos." Felix told her with a light chuckle. "Though I hope you don't mind that I did that without telling you. I wanted you to truly look surprised in the photos...plus, to be honest, part of me thought that you might enjoy it better without knowing ahead of time." He gave her a small shrug, a little unsure if that was the case but, in the least, Skye didn't seem mad.

    His eyes then shifted down to the ring on her finger. It was a lot of diamonds that were now wrapped around her. It wasn't the simple ring that she had asked for, but by the same token, it wasn't overly show offy either. "Do you like the ring?" Felix asked as he looked over her face, a little worried that she didn't. "If not, we can always go back and pick out a different one."

    Going back into the house once the pictures were taken, Skye was expecting for the giddy feeling she was feeling to wash away. It didn't. In fact, she could feel that feeling shifting and stirring as she listened to Felix. This whole thing was seeming like it was going to be quite fun. Especially if she got fun surprises like this from time to time from the man.

    "It was quite a cunning move." Skye told him honestly as she took a couple of steps away from his hold and turned towards the taller and older man. "An I did enjoy it, if I would of known that you had planned all of this before hand, I'm not sure how well I could portray the surprised fiance' for you. So, thank you?" Skye said, a little unsure if she should really be thanking him for surprising her. "It was an amazing idea, and quite fun."

    Then, slowly lowering her bright gaze, Skye raised her hand once more and closed her hand into a fist as she looked at the ring. It was so shiney, and surprisingly a little heavy. She never dreamed of wearing a wedding ring to be honest, she was a romantist, but never dreamed of being the one in the spot light.

    "No." Skye said quietly, looking back towards Felix's gaze. "No, I like this one. It's pretty. An, I'm more then happy with it. I've never dreamed of wedding rings before, but if I did. I'm sure this would be the one." She said quietly, blushing a little as her rambling got the better of her. She knew that she asked for something that wasn't so flashy, but. The little diamonds on this one wasn't to flashy. They added characteristic to the ring. Without then, she was pretty sure it'd be quite boring.

    A rather large smile moved over Felix's face as Skye continued to talk. He couldn't be more pleased with how everything was going tonight. His plan was working, Skye was easy to get along with and she was enjoying the little plans that he was coming up with. And, not only that but Skye liked the clothes and the ring that he got for her. It was beginning to seem that this arrangement was going to be so easy for both of them to get through. Only a few months of this was something that Felix could easily handle.

    "Well, I am very glad that you enjoyed it. I would have felt terribly if you thought it was an awful move of me to spring something like that on you. Though, I also thought that surprising you would get us better results than letting you know. Anyways, I have a feeling that there will be very few surprises overall. So no need to try to figure out what I have planned." The man let out a light chuckle at the thought before continuing on.

    "Anyways, that is really all that I had for today. We have talked, I showed you the house, and now you know where your room is and where everything is kept. Plus, we accomplished the engagement photos today." Felix glanced down at the ring that was now on Skye's finger. He really did think it looked lovely on her, and he was glad that she loved it as well. It would have been more difficult had he known that she hated it.

    "Is there anything you wanted to do or discuss?" Felix asked her gently. He had nothing else for the two of them to do but that did not mean that Skye didn't. Perhaps she had more questions or concerns. Or maybe she wanted to do something after. If Skye wanted to spend time with him, he would be happy to.

    A small hum escaped from Skye as she listened to Felix. It was quite sweet that he cared so much about her thoughts on things, even if this was fake, it was nice to know that he was willing to try and make it work for her as well. That this was like a real relationship, a give and take for the both of them. A commitment that they had agreed to and are working together to achieve, like a real couple.

    "I do have a couple of questions," Skye said quietly as she glanced down at the ring that was on her finger. Admiring how it shimmered slightly in the light from the moon and then looked up towards the taller man once more. "I enjoy going out to the clubs now and again, I find dancing fun. Is that okay with you? I usually go out on Fridays and have some fun with my friends. Will that be bad for your image? I mean, you're good to come along as well if you want to, but I mean." Her rambling was starting to get the better of her once again and Skye couldn't help but to sigh quietly and try to rephrase everything for him.

    "I'm not a party girl, but I do like to meet my friends at the club occasionally." Skye started once more, trying to not let her thoughts get the best of her. "Is that alright? Going to clubs I mean." Slowly, Skye licked her lips as she wondered something else. "Is there anything else I should be doing now that I'm engaged to you? Should I be seen in the upper parts of the city where the high-end designer clothing stores are?" She asked, wondering what a fiance of a multimillion-dollar man should be seen doing, that would be deemed respectable and not tarnish his good name. The last thing Skye wanted to do right now was drag Felix through the mud for her liking to have fun now and again.

    As Skye spoke, Felix found the smile on his face growing larger and larger. Though, soon enough, Felix was letting out a deep, long laugh. "You can go clubbing with your friends. My image is certainly not going to be tarnished by that unless you're going after men while you are there. But if you want me to come along, where we go might change." He winked at Skye, teasing her slightly.

    Felix continued on, the smile still stuck on his face."There is nothing specifically that I am going to ask you to do to...create an image for you. If you wish to go shopping in high-end designer clothing, then we can do that. But you do not need to change who you are. You don't have to pretend to be what you think a rich woman is." Felix let out a little hum in thought before continuing on.

    "Though, I do want you to pretend as you are engaged... So no dating or kissing other men or things like that. But I don't want you to change or hide who you are. No one is going to find it odd if you shop at your normal stores or go clubbing with your friends. Just try not to do anything too scandalous, like have an 'affair' or rob a bank or whatever." Reaching out, he lightly ran his fingers through her hair, wanting to assure Skye that everything was going to be fine. "Though if there is something you want to do that typically someone with millions does, let me know."

    A small sigh escaped from Skye that she didn't know that she was holding escaped slowly through her slightly parted lips. A sense of relief washed over her slowly as she listened to Felix. A small smile playing along her lips as she glanced over at him through the edges of her eyelashes. "Thank you." She said quietly, not completely sure what she was thanking him for, but having an idea it was that she could still stay herself.

    Then, a small dramatic sigh escaped from Skye's lips as she playfully rolled her eyes. "What?" She asked with the most stuck up voice she could muster. "No robbing banks? but that's one of my secret hobbies." She said, then snorted a little as she held in her giggles and smiled up at Felix to let him know she was teasing him.

    "You're going to make me feel like a gold differ if you want me to ask to use your money for something." Skye said quietly as she allowed for him to play with her hair before slowly raising her hand and grabbing onto his lightly. Then, she slowly lowered his hand before letting it go. "I need to head to bed, I have to wake up early to do coffee runs for the office." She said quietly, offering Felix a small smile before slowly turning to head towards the room that was designated to be hers for while she pretended to be engaged to him.

    Felix gave her a small shrug and a cheeky smile. "Well, I can't promise that I am going to say yes if you ask for something... But it seems only fair that you get to live the life of a fiancee to a millionaire while you're doing this. I mean, you're letting me live the life of someone with a fiancee." He let out a small chuckle as he said the last bit. "I am just saying. I mean, you know, don't take it too far but... you know."

    In truth, Felix wasn't too worried about Skye trying to take advantage of him. She didn't seem like the type to ask for too much. And, he did always have the right to say no if she was taking it too far. Even so, this was an arrangement that would last a few months that would help him for a lifetime. So Felix didn't mind doing things that would keep her happy as well as more willing to continue this ruse. As she mentioned having to head to bed, Felix gave her a few nods and a gentle smile. "Goodnight then." He murmured.

    With that, Felix made his way up to his own room and tucked himself into bed. Though, as he did so, he couldn't help but think of the insanity of the day behind him. A quick decision lead him to have a fake fiancee. How crazy was that? Even with that thought, he tried not to dwell on it too much. Felix did have an early day ahead of him tomorrow.

    ---

    Once the sun started to rise, Felix was out of his bedroom and getting ready for the day. He was able to take a quick shower and dress for work. Before 6am, he was already downstairs, eating breakfast. Felix had an early meeting so he needed to get to the office soon.

    When Skye woke up the next morning, she nearly had a heart attack because she couldn't remember where she was for a bit. Then, as things started to come back to her, she collapsed back onto the bed with a sigh. The soft fabric calling her to come back to bed and sleep, but she couldn't. No matter how soft the blankets were or how comfortable the bed was. She needed to go to work, she needed this job even if she hated it. It'll get her to her dream job, eventually.

    Slowly, forcing herself out of bed, Skye proceeded with trying to keep her normal routine. She did a little bit of yoga, showered and then put on her outfit for the day. It was weird wearing something that she didn't buy or pick out herself, but she wasn't going to complain.

    Walking down the stairs of the massive mansion, Skye hummed quietly as she made her way to the kitchen. It was still quite early, so she figured she'd be the only one up since most of the office didn't get in til about seven or so. Although, when the sight of Felix at the kitchen table caught her eye, Skye couldn't help but trip a little bit before stopping in her spot.

    A couple of moments past before she remembered her place and cleared her throat to get his attention. "M-morning." She said quietly, feeling a little shy this morning. She's never said hi to a guy this early in the morning before, well besides her older brothers but that was different. "Sleep well?" She asked quietly as she made her way to the coffee cabinets to look for a mug to get come coffee. As well as not letting Felix notice her grimse at the horrible question she had asked him.
