As he poured Naih a drink he kept looking at her. She looked shaken up, like if she was two seconds away from throwing an armchair at the only son she had that was alive. Gustav came in with a big smile on his face; he was the only one in the family that could pass as normal. He was a polymath so he mostly took care of the business aspect of his family's companies and money. He was also very loyal to his grandmother because she was the one who raised him and trusted him when others thought he'd cheat the family out of their money.
Gustav was finally truly happy in life, he was going to get married in a month, he felt fulfilled at work and even though some of his family didn't want him around he had every one in the manor happy to be around him. He sat next to his grandmother and crossed one leg over the other.
He let out a deep sigh and spoke "I kicked those bastards out with a fury and right when they passed the gates Lucius came out the door. Hah. He turned around to say something and I slammed the door in his face" Naih gave him a smile at that.
"So what happened Naih?" Sergue asked
She let out a big sigh. "He knows Draco's staying here, he also knows that I told Draco about his real father." She looked a little worried but then smiled. "He threatened me and I scared the shit out of him so bad he ran away" they all laughed a little at that. Lucius always acted like if he was the boss but when Naih got angry with him she could scare the pants off him real bad. Sergue turned back to Gustav as he remembered something.
"Gustav?" The young man's head turned up. "When's the engagement dinner supposed to be?"
"Oh, it's on Saturday. Can you make it?"
"Yeah. I think you'll be expecting everyone at the house. Maybe Draco and Sinny will use the opportunity to have a second date" Gustav looked a bit uneasy about that. Not because of Draco and Sinny getting together he thought that was fantastic but he wished they'd hurry the bloody up about it.
"Oh my, I thought I told you about what Emma was planning. I must have forgotten" He started to lace his fingers in his lap with great focus.
"Well? Spit it out man."
"She wants Sinny to meet her brother, James. She thinks that Sinny will really like him. And I invited my best man, so don't tell Ki that he who must not be spoken of in this house is coming." Gustav really didn't like Emma's idea for Sinny's perfect man, and he didn't like her brother either. He was kind of a playboy and a real asshole. Sergue could see that Gustav didn't like him.
"How long will her brother be staying for dearie?" Naih said
"Till the wedding. Emma wanted him to get to know the family. He gets here saturday" Then a thought came out of his head. "You think you can get Draco and Sinny together by then?"
"It's possible, but they're going to have to take the next step. Then will nudge."

Ki was exhausted after getting the twins their clothes. Sergue called in between their shopping and told them they need to buy two other outfits, which just made Katherine squeal in joy while Mikael and Draco just groaned. As they walked into the next shop to get Mikael a blazer, the old lady behind the counter came to great Ki. The old lady remembered Ki from when she was little and Naih would come here with her and Sinny to buy dresses for them. The old ladies name was Sara and she was a good friend to Naih.
"Ah my dear Ki! It's been so long" She embraced the young woman and then saw Sinny with the twins and Draco. "Oh dear lord. Sinny? Look how much you've grown" Sinny blushed. "And look at your children and that husband. You certainly picked well." The twins began to giggle and Draco laughed whole heartedly at the woman's assumption. He didn't think the kids looked THAT much like them, just a little. Sinny almost looked purple now out of embarrassment.
"Uh, Sara. Those are Sergue's twins and this is Draco" Draco smiled at the blushing older woman. "He's not my husband. Just a friend" At that Draco whipped his head around to look at her in a bit of shock. Just a friend? Ki swept off the old lady with light conversation as the twins went on their own. To distract herself from Draco's gaze Sindrea tried to find some blazers in Mikael's size. Draco walked up to her and stood closely to her.
"Just a friend Sindrea?" Draco raised his eyebrow at her in amusement as she looked through a rack of blazers. "Is that what you call the men you sleep with?"
"First off I'm still denying that we slept together until I have actual proof or memory and second up till now yes I consider you a friend." She didn't turn to face him just kept looking.
"Just a friend?" He said in mock amusement as he stopped her hands from riffling through the blazers. She gazed up at him as he leaned in closer. "Nothing more?" He whispered in her ear. Their lips were almost touching.
"Just friends" She said in a weak voice. She didn't want him to win this but damn she wanted him to kiss her.
"Well, we're gonna have to change that" He brushed his lips against hers and took the blazer in her hand. He went up to where Mikael was making faces at a large mirror with his sister and showed it to him. Mikael rolled his, but didn't complain and went to try it on. Draco took Mikael's place next to Katherine and started to make weird faces at his reflection, Katherine laughed and continued to do the same.
Sinny smiled at the two. Even though Draco was acting like a little kid she knew he was doing it to make Katherine laugh. He knew how to take care of those kids well and it showed on the twins' faces that they appreciated Draco as much as they did her and Ki. 'He's going to be a really great father someday' She shook her head 'Don't think about stuff like that, the guy ridiculed you for a good amount of years' She looked back at him 'But he's changed and you know it, plus he has a great ass!' She looked at his backside.
"You're right about that" She said softly to herself, she looked up to see Ki smirking in her direction. Ki saw the kiss and knew how much it affected her sister; she also knew that Sindrea wanted Draco just as much as he wanted her. Just then Mikael walked out of the changing room wearing the blazer, it looked good on him and to put him out of his misery they bought it and left the store.
"Well that was the last thing we had to buy." Said Ki. Both Draco and Mikael let out a triumphant 'yes!' at that. "Now who's hungry?" She looked at everyone and they looked like they were starving to death. All of their stomachs growled at the same time. As they began to laugh Ki's cell phone seemed to dance in her pocket to a short salsa beat as someone called her; it was Sergue.
He told her about Gustav's future brother in law and gave her a plan and she only smiled and said ok. Draco, Sindrea and the twins only looked at her in confusion. She said good-bye to her brother and addressed the group.
"It seems that Sergue wants the twins to have lunch with him. He wants me to take them back to the mansion"
"All right so we'll go with you" Ki held up a hand at Sinny
"He wants you two to get a dress and a suit for the engagement party and something to wear for the engagement dinner the day before." Draco and Sindrea both let out an ugh at the same time. Then Draco got a call on his cell phone, he apologized and silently took the call. Ki pulled Sinny closer to her. "Sergue is worried about something."
"What's going on?"
"Emma wants you to meet her brother. And if I remember correctly that means the brother that Gustav is always kicking you out of the house so you won't meet him"
"Oh that guy! He tried to flirt with me at a bar once when he didn't know who I was. I hate that guy."
"Yeah, well Emma thinks he's the perfect match for you, so in other words bang Draco again make him the official one or she's not going to back off"
Sindrea let out a sigh and looked at Draco "Either way I'm going to get screwed. I'll see you later" Ki waved off and took the kids with her. She saw that Draco was leaning against the wall and off his cell as he was waiting for her. She took his arms and dragged him to a restaurant. "Don't just stand there I'm starving." She signaled the waiter and he took them to a huge booth. The both sat on the same side.
"Why are you sitting next to me?" Sinny asked flirtatiously. Draco smirked and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Why? Is there a problem?" She just smiled and shook her head. They looked at the menu and told the waiter what they wanted when he came back. After their orders were taken Sinny nudged his shoulder to get his attention.
"I need to ask you a favor"
"What is it?"
"Be my boyfriend for a while?"
"Whoa, hey I thought we were just going to be friends" He said to her teasingly.
"Oh stop it. I mean pretend to be my boyfriend." He looked a bit confused
"Why pretend when we can be?" He smiled at her. She swatted his arms and he laughed at her failed attempt to stop his comments. He then got serious "So who are you trying to impress?"
"Ugh I'm not trying to impress this person."
"Ok who are you trying to keep away from you then?" He started to play with her hair again. She swatted his hand away and they both laughed. She told him to stop it but he just kept putting his hands in her hair. She tried to keep his hands off her but he was really fast. He only stopped when they began to laugh again.
She sighed as he stopped. "You know Gustav's fiancé?" Draco nodded.
"What about her?" Then he looked a bit confused. "If you're trying keep her away from you and need to show off a boyfriend to her, I think you should talk to Gustav. I don't think he wants that kind of love triangle" As he finished his comment he traced a triangle in the air with both of his index fingers.
"You silly, get your mind out of the gutter. It's not her I want to keep away; it's her brother. She going to try to push him to me if she sees I'm not with anyone or if I don't have a date for the wedding"
"I'm getting the feeling you don't like this guy very much"
"Ugh he's a playboy with an ego the size of Africa" Her insult made him smile. Even when she was disgusted with the guy her nose crinkled like that as her hair fell in her face just made her look adorable. There food came and she chewed on a French fry as she spoke. "I just don't want to deal with the woman or her sibling"
"So how far are we going in our 'relationship'?" He said as he made quote marks in the air. She stopped chewing and looked up at him with a big smile.
"You'll do it That's great we can tell her on Saturday"
"Stop trying to change the subject and answer me" She rolled her eyes at him
"I want this to be a normal looking relationship. So you can kiss me and hold my hand in public but not when we're alone. Why?" He looked her straight in the eyes as he tried to show her true honesty with out words
"I want you to actually give me a chance." He brushed away the hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. "A real chance and maybe let the pretending part of the relationship fall away." He began to lean into her again. Oh no he didn't she was not going to let him get to her this time. But damn his kissing skills! Oh great he's getting closer now.
"I'll think about it" She started to meet him.
"You'll think about it huh?" Closer
"Yeah" And closer
"Yeah?" His arm got tighter around her waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck. That when he stopped. "I'm not going to kiss you until you give me an answer. Damn him she wanted to cave in so badly. 'Oh just give him what he wants woman!"
"Ok, I'll give you chance, but don't hurt me or Sergue's going to kill you" He chuckled a little and brushed his lips past her own. They locked in a passionate kiss for what seemed like eternity.
They pulled away, breathing raggedly "All right then" He said as he regained his composure. He smiled at her and let her go. "Well let's eat."

Two hours later
……………………………..
Draco and Sindrea got back to the mansion with their arms wrapped around each other. They walked through all the shops and got what they wanted for the party. They didn't let each other see the clothes they tried on or what they bought, and it just intrigued the other. They spent most of the time talking about things the other should know about them and other things that seemed trivial but meaningful to two people in love. They were off to a good start with their fake relationship. He walked her to her door and opened her it for her. She hugged him and threw the bags inside before saying good bye.
"Today…" She sighed
"…Was surprising?" She nodded at his reply "Well more excitement is going to start happening, it's only Thursday" He wrapped his arms around her and looked into her eyes. "Remember saturday is the dinner and Sunday is the big tent party. Do you want me to pick you up for the dinner and the party?"
"You don't have to pick me up Saturday, we're only having dinner at the main house and if you want pick me up on Sunday"
"Yes ma'am" He said as he mocked saluted her, making her giggle at his antics. He leaned closer to her face again and started play with her hair too.
"Draco?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you going to kiss me again?" He nodded and gave her a light but very loving kiss before kissing her hand and closing the door behind him as he said good bye. She went up to her room and let out a big breath as she plopped on her bed. "Draco" she whispered silently in the night.
Little did she know that Draco felt the same way when he had gotten to his room at the main house as he whispered her name aloud in the night.
