~Cabin in the Mountains~

It all started with an idea. An idea that every five years, the members of the Lockhart family would reunite to a rich, fancy, mansion of a cabin. It was a way so that the *ahem* more prosperous members of the family, could scout out which of their spouses were worthy of their towering fortune.

This year, unfortunately was the year when this happy occasion was scheduled. This could not come at a worse time for me, honestly. Everything around me was crumbling into a thousand itty-bitty pieces, and all of the little white lies I've told have turned their backs on me cruelly, leaving me alone to die.

You could tell that the circumstances must've been dire, because only the worst of situations could draw me here, to his doorstep. That's right, him. The king of all assholes. Yet here I was, my arm poised to knock on his fine mahogany door.

How had it come to this? All I remember was briefly mentioning that I had a boyfriend currently (which may or may not be true) and now my entire family seemed to be eagerly waiting to meet him. Stupid arrogant assholes. Just because they were all freakishly loaded didn't mean they could mold everyone in their family to be just like them.

"Pshhh." I blew a stray strand of hair out of my face and back behind my ear. I curled my lip in disgust.

Sora was my absolute last resort. I used him because I was positive he would do anything for a favor from me. Sora and I had dated a while back, but I broke up with him for various reasons. One, He never showed up for dates. Like, never. I believe he showed up for a grand total of two dates. Two, he was an asshole. I don't know why I even went out with him in the first place. He was mean to me, my friends, his friends, everyone. Lastly, he was a womanizer. I should've known he didn't care about me, he never did. I was just another toy, until he found a newer, shinier one to play with.

After I had broken up with him, he had retaliated with maximum damage. I guess he wasn't used to being the one who got dumped. He dated some of my friends and tried to make me jealous, but I was a brick wall. I still am, but I guess today was the day he finally broke down my walls.

I finally drew up the courage and rapped on his door. The dread dropped down on me like a thousand ton weight. I suddenly grew the urge to turn around and run as fast as I could into the street and beg the nearest car to smash into me and end my suffering. Before I could fulfill my fantasy the door swung open to reveal Sora in all his mysterious sexiness. His expression was bored until his dark blue eyes met my small figure. His eyes shone with mirth and he smirked.

"Finally back at my door Kairi? I knew you'd come around." God his voice. It was so sexy. I'd seen panties drop on its account.

"No Sora, I need to ask you a favor." I said pleadingly. He smiled and rolled his head against the door frame, so his chocolate brown spikes flattened.

"Anything for you baby," He said casually.

"But…" He added with a sly look. But, of course there's a but.

"I'd need a favor in return." He said. I sighed.

"Yes Sora, you can have a favor in return." I said, deflated.

"Any favor?"

God, I could just rip that handsome grin off of his handsome face.

"Well, I mean there are boundaries-"

"Go out with me." He said, his face dead serious.

Whoop, there it is.

"Well, um.." I thought for a minute. Go out with Sora…Again? Was it really worth it?

"Well, I guess you don't really want my help…" He said condescendingly. I weighed my choices. Dating a hot, sexy jerk, or facing pissed off rich old people.

"Fine." I said, defeated. His grin grew wider and I'm pretty sure I looked exactly like the grinch.

"So, whaddya need?" He asked, regaining composure so he stretched to his full height, which, as much as I hate to admit it, was a lot taller than me. Deep breaths, deep breaths Kairi.

"I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a week." His face went fro confused, to shocked, to extremely smug. This, by the way, pissed me off to the maximum.

"That's all? Sweetheart, I can do that with my eyes shut." He laughed and tilted his head to the side, examining my each and every feature.

I found this extremely uncomfortable. My red hair was ugly, I was freakishly short for a twenty-one year old, and I hated my eyes. They were HUGE. Well, not huge, but just…bigger than the average pair.

"Name the time and place and I'll be there." He said, running a hand through his hair.

"That's the thing…" I said nervously. He froze, his hand still weaving through his soft spikes.

"What thing?" He asked, intrigued.

"Uh, it's in the Rockies for a week and my family will be there so just don't freak out okay?" I said quickly, barely spacing my words. He smiled.

"Pfft. That's nothing. A week with you and your family will be just as pleasant as being in a room full of butterflies." He said happily.

That-That's a weird simile.

"Uh, sure…yeah. It's in two days and I'll pick you up and get you there and stuff, you just have to…act." God you are so awkward, just…just die.

"Sounds good Kai, I can't wait." He winked and began to shut his door slowly.

"Remember our deal Kairi, you still have to date me." He reminded me slyly before the door clicked softly a few inches from my face.

I stood there, in front of his door for a few seconds, wondering how on earth I was going to deal with him for a whole week, and then, not only that, but I have to actually date him after! I have no idea how I will survive that cabin in the mountains.

A/N I got bored. R/R let me know if I should continue. Overused plot, I know, but sue me.
