"Will.. are you okay?" Emma asked me, startling me out of my thoughts.
"Wha- Yeah.. yeah. I'm good. Why do you ask?" I said, taking another sip of coffee.
"Because you're on your 6th cup of coffee."
I slammed my cup down in frustration. I didn't get any sleep last night because I was trying to think of a plan but nothing has come to mind. I'm freaking out. Tomorrow is when the family reunion starts and I'm wifeless. I was avoiding telling Emma but I'm out of ideas and she's my last chance.
"I have this problem.. and it's a little embarrassing."
"What's it about?"
"Well.." I sighed.
"Oh Will. Are you stressing about.." Her eyes moved down my body. "That area? I can promise you it's not that small, Will. I've seen much smaller and to be honest, it's quite bi-"
"What? What the hell are you talking about?" I asked confused.
"Nothing." Emma said abruptly. "So, wha- what's your problem?"
"Um.. so, my family has always been on my back about starting a family.. and I've told you about the family reunions I used to go to, right?"
Emma nodded.
I sighed. "So at one of them, I sort of slipped out that I had... a girlfriend. Then the lie kind of got worse over the past years..."
"How so?"
"I.. told them I proposed."
"Oh god, Will."
"Now they are making me go to this year's family reunion which by the way, is tomorrow, with my fiancee. So I'm screwed."
I stared at Emma as she sat there in silence.
"Wow Will... I knew you were desperate but I didn't know it was this bad." Emma said, laughing.
"Emma, this is not funny. I'm serious. I don't know what to do... I've thought about paying someone and holding auditio-"
Emma laughed even louder. "Will. Please stop talking."
"I don't see you coming up with any better ideas." I said slightly annoyed with the way she was acting.
Emma stopped laughing and she sat there in silence.
"Well, why don't I be your fiancee?"
Now it was my time to laugh.
"Oh come on Will! The plan gets better! I know how you can get rid of this pretend fiancee of yours too."
"I'm listening."
"Well, during the week, I could pretend to be your fiancee and then one day, we would have a fight in front of your family and break up! Boom! No more fiancee."
My face brightened. "That's brilliant, Emma." She smirked.
"But I forgot to mention that my fiancee has to impress them." I smiled.
Emma hit me. "I can impress. I'm nice, funny, charming and you think I'm attractive so it must be true."
"What makes you say that, Pillsbury?"
"You hit on me the first time you met me, your eyes dilate when you look at me, plus I know where your eyes go when I bend over." Emma smirked.
"This is why you're my best friend." I smiled. "Let's go back to your place now."
"Why?"
"Fiancee training."
"Wait what?"

"Will, you don't need to choose what underwear I need bring. Your family won't see that."
I chuckled. "Yeah, I know. I just wanted to see them."
Emma slapped my arm. "So, we're done with my wardrobe.." Emma said as she zipped up her luggage. "Now what else do we have to do in your 'fiancee training'?"
"Well, we just have to go through what you're going to say."
"I've got that under control, Will. Unlike you, I can socialize."
"Alright, Pillsbury. Let's not get cocky."
She smiled. "The only thing I need to know is what your family is like."
I lied down on her bed and Emma followed. "You don't have to worry about them... Except for one person." I sighed. "James."
"Is he hot?" Emma smirked.
"Ha ha." I said sarcastically. "You're engaged to me, Pillsbury. Anyway, he's my brother. He's the biggest douche bag you'll ever meet. He's always picked on me about being single and he's the one I need to impress."
"Why would you want to impress someone you despise?"
"I- I don't know." I sighed. "I just know I'll feel accomplished.."
Emma looked at me and gave me a small smile. "Don't worry, Will. I got your back."
I smiled back. "Thanks but I'm not worried.." I rolled on top of her. "Because I know he'll be jealous to see that I've got a beautiful fiancee that isn't his."
"Always the charming one, Schuester." She smiled widely.
"My skills are still weak." My hands moved down to her waist while hers stroked my cheek. "I know I have mastered my skills once I get you to sleep with me."
Emma laughed. "Keep dreaming."
"Oh I plan to." I laughed.
"So I think there's one more thing left to do in my fiancee training."
"And that is?"
"A little smooching lesson."
"I'm not the one who needs the lesson." Emma smirked.
"Is that so?" I smiled playfully. "Prove it." I said as I leaned down.
My lips hit Emma's fingers. "Nice try, Schuester." Emma pushed me off her and helped me up. "But how about I treat you to a movie instead?"
"Even better." I smiled.
