When Jennifer Kingsley agrees to be her best friend Adrian Lawrence's real girlfriend, she's been waiting two weeks to be quick. But when Adrian enters control, Jennifer sees all her control and disappearing. Pierre is nothing like his sweet brother at first. He is demanding and strict. He gets what he wants, and when he decides he wants Jenny, things aren't as easy as comparables. Will Jennifer give in to his seduction techniques or will she walk away unscathed in two weeks? What would you do if the person you confessed your love to doesn't reciprocate? You go into depression or denial. When Pierre categorically tells Jennifer that he doesn't believe in love, she is broken. But when you have an awesome best friend, an even more possessive Pierre than before, and determination, Jennifer knows she can have whatever she wants from Pierre. But she can only achieve this in one way. Seducing him.

Chapter 1

"Jenny, honey bear!" I heard a loud scream and groaned inwardly.

I turned and looked at my best friend, Adrian, who always thought he could come to my cafe whenever he wanted.

— Yes, Adrian? I asked sarcastically, knowing he was probably there because he'd taken a break from work and wanted to piss me off. I didn't mean to be rude, he was my best friend, after all, but he was a pain in the ass sometimes.

“I'm making that lasagna you love today. He smiled, but I saw something in his eyes. And I really couldn't tell at first what it was.

— What is the occasion? I asked, putting away some files.

Adrian looked away uncomfortably. He was probably the easiest guy to get along with I ever came across. There was something about Adrian that attracted me almost instantly. It was impossible not to like him. He was beautiful, really beautiful. With his half-French, half-Italian ancestry, he definitely attracted attention wherever he went.

His hair was dark brown, his face perfectly chiseled. He was, without a doubt, a Greek god, and I was sure I could feel something for him if he wasn't gay. But Adrian, in addition to being gay, was an unassuming gay. No matter how many times I told him that it didn't matter to those who really loved him, that his sexuality was no big deal, he refused to believe me.

“Ahm…” Adrian's voice snapped me out of my reverie. I gave him a confused look. “I have to ask you something.

“And why can't you do it now? I asked, frowning. He was never a stranger unless he had some big favor to ask of me.

“Because I'm hoping you're happy and drunk enough to say yes. he said shyly.

I squinted at him.

“Adrian Lawrence, what the hell are you up to?

He stood up.

— Bye, Jenny! See you at dinner! — Without waiting for me to answer, he left. I glanced at the door, wondering what he had in mind right now. The last time he'd done something like this, I'd ended up at a stripper club. And that was a story I would be happy if I could forget.

The phone rang and I picked it up, using the most professional tone I could.

— King's Coffee.

— Jennifer! My mother greeted me and I smiled. - How are you? You didn't answer your cell, so I had to call your office. Are you busy?

- Hi Mom. - I answered. “I'm not busy, I was just talking to Adrian. What was it?

“I just called to let you know you're having a visitor soon. She said and I frowned.

Realizing that she wouldn't be the one to come see me, I asked. — A visit from whom?

— From Mr. Harrison. she said and I felt a pang of annoyance inside me. I heard some decks in the background, and then a damn loud sound. “Oh dear, your father managed to nail his finger with the hammer again, I'll calm him down, so see you later. Take care dear!

-Bye mom. I said as she hung up. I put the phone back in its place and resisted the urge to bang my head on the table. I had enough problems in my life and Mr. Harrison became one more to add to all the others. He was convinced that he could solve all my problems with his magical Midas Touch and I hated him for it.

- MS. Kingsley? My cafe manager Nella poked her head into the office. “We have a client wanting to see you.

I raised my eyebrows. - Because?

“He said he'd rather discuss this with you. She said and I groaned, knowing who it was. I got up and walked out of the office, smoothing my pencil skirt. Mr. Harrison was standing in the center of the cafe with a smile on his face.

- What you want? I asked, not caring if I sounded too rude.

"That's no way to talk to your…" he began and before he could continue the sentence, I glared at him, making him shut up.

“Look, if you want a drink, you're welcome, but I'm busy right now, so I'm sorry. With that I walked away, leaving him frowning behind me.

I turned and looked in the mirror, wondering if my ass looked too big in the dress. I was all dressed up for dinner at Adrian's apartment, as I didn't know if it would just be the two of us that night. Personally, I preferred to go in a bathrobe and fluffy slippers.

I wore a navy blue dress with a low neckline, stopping just above the knee. I put on my heels and took only my cell phone. As soon as I arrived at Adrian's apartment, I was surprised to see the door already open.

— Adrian? I yelled cautiously, looking for any scene of a possible murder or a thief.

“I'm getting dressed, Jenny! - He screamed. — Help yourself to wine. Or whatever you prefer.

I took off my sandals, knowing now that it would just be us. I should have gone in a bathrobe anyway, so I cursed him for not giving me more details about the night. I walked over to his liquor cabinet and pulled out a bottle of whiskey. Normally, I didn't drink anything very strong, but the liquor supply he had in his house was limited. I poured myself some whiskey, and then I saw Adrian walk in, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. The sight of him like that would make any woman drool, but I was way beyond that stage. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Couldn't you have told me you weren't dressed?" I said and he chuckled, pouring himself a glass of whiskey.

"But it's so fun to see your face!" Maybe we can hang around the clubs in town later. he suggested, wiggling his eyebrows from side to side.

- No, thank you. - I refused. “What did you want to tell me?

He placed the glass on the table. - Let's have dinner!

I squinted at his suspicious behavior, but he walked into the dining room without another word. What he wanted to say to me must be something important for him to act this way. And his attitude was filling me with curiosity.

In the middle of dinner I couldn't take it anymore. So I looked at him and demanded.

“Adrian Lawrence,” I snapped, “you better tell me right now what's going on, or I swear—”

“Oops, calm down, Jenny. he said, putting his hands up. “Just promise not to go crazy.

I raised an eyebrow but remained serious.

— My parents want me to go to their house. - He said.

- AND? I said, slurring the words.

“I told my mom I have a girlfriend, and she said I have to take her along. I can't say no now because it's late as my brother confirmed it too so I have to be there. He said it so fast I had to strain my ears to catch the words.

- Girlfriend? I swallowed hard. - Who is your girlfriend?

“And that's exactly where you come in. He said with a hopeful smile and I understood. But I refused right away.

- No.

— Please, Jenny. — My best friend begged me. I shook my head. I couldn't do that, I wouldn't.

Adrian wanted me to pretend to be his girlfriend? This was ridiculous.

- No! I nearly screamed, my voice breaking a little as he made a sad face at me. Oh my God. It was as if it were written, I would give in to him.

— Please, Jenny. he pleaded again. “Just two weeks, I promise. Just think of it as a vacation only.

“Going on vacation has nothing to do with being my gay best friend girlfriend. I said firmly, but lowered my head when I felt like I was going to give in.

"Jennifer..." He took his time to continue and I looked at him. "You know I can't tell... I can't...

- Two weeks. That is all. I finally relented and he smiled, pulling me into a bear hug. I stood there for a while, before finally hugging him back. I would do it for him. After all, that's what best friends are for.

really enjoyed this until the honeymoon, that was really confusing and the way it was written, was it literally translated from another language?

Over the next few days I learned more about Adrian's family than I had in the last seven years. Your mother's hobbies, your father's business, everything I didn't know. Only one thing Adrian refused to tell me and that was about his brother Pierre. He said that when I found him, I would understand why. — Jenny! Adrian exclaimed as I walked into his apartment. He was only wearing boxers and his clothes were scattered all over the place. I raised an eyebrow at him. One would think that a woman lived here and not a guy. - Wow. I whistled as he pulled a bottle of wine from somewhere under a pile of clothes. “Are you throwing clothes away or something? He gave me a repressing look. - Of course. I'm tidying up. I raised my eyebrows in disbelief. — Tidying up? Is that what it's called now? He looked at me even more seriously. - Shut up. I have to go perfect, no matter what I have to do. And when you see how impeccably my brother dresses, you'll understand. This was anot

“It's okay for us to sleep together. I said, and added, before he could say anything. “I mean, in a completely non-sexual way. He laughed, and the doorbell rang. “I'll take it. I muttered, pulling Adrian's wallet out of his pillow cover, making him scream. - Hey! Only, when I opened the door, it wasn't the pizza delivery guy. It was Mr. Frederich Harrison. I grimaced, closing the door behind me before he could see or say anything. “You weren't there at your apartment. he said, as if that was an explanation. - What you want? I said through gritted teeth. “You know what I want, Jennifer. Why don't you stop being so stubborn and accept the terms? It's a clear fact that you're going to need me sooner or later. In the end, I'm the only one who can offer... I looked at him and cut him off. - I do not need you. And I'm happy with what my parents gave me, so take your offers and go knock on some other door. “Shelly wants to meet you. - He said. My heart tightened. Shelly was his wif

“Oh dear, you're here! I was about to call him. Dear? I turned to Adrian, who was watching me with interest. I gave him a dirty look, knowing what was going on in the gutter of his mind. “Don't even think I…” I hissed and he pulled me closer to him. 'Think of what?' He said it so loudly that his mother's face turned to us. I blushed and looked at Adrian. He really knew how to test my nerves. - Mother. Adonis said in a fawning voice as he hugged Marie. He took one look at us, then his gaze traveled to where Adrian's arm was around my waist. Instinctively, I approached Adrian making him look at me questioningly. I shook my head, giving him a small smile. Marie released her son when she got tired of hugging him. She turned to us afterwards. — Oh! she exclaimed. — How rude I am! Pierre, honey, this is Jennifer, Adrian's girlfriend. Jennifer, this is Pierre, Adrian's older brother. I gave Pierre a small smile as Adrian moved his hand away from my waist and hugged his brother. - Ho

There was a king-size bed in the middle, covered in what I suspected was silk sheets. One end of the room had French windows which gave the room a lively look. Sunlight shone through the windows, making some parts of the room have a magical feel. - Wow. - I choked. Adrian laughed behind me. “I never thought I'd see Jennifer Kingsley be surprised. I turned and hit her arm. - Do you know. I said in a conversational tone. “Sometimes I think you're just pretending to be gay so you can date me.He gave me his typical look. “Bullshit, girl! Don't think too much! I'm proud to say that I'm very interested in just dick. “You are a hypocrite. — I commented. - Yes yes. But you love me. He replied and I laughed. “I'm going to take a nap, so make yourself comfortable. I shook my head and held out my hand. He took it and kissed my cheek, “Thanks for bringing me here, I really loved it."Even if you have to pretend to be my girlfriend?" Adrian teased and I pushed him out of the room just as

I kissed him on the nose and he laughed. Then he took my hand in his and I felt funny. But I had to. We went downstairs, laughing as Adrian talked about planning our wedding. I froze as Marie and Pierre looked at us with interest and dark red covered my cheeks. He seemed to notice my discomfort and an evil mist appeared over his head. “Stop looking at her like that. If spaventar it. I gave Adrian a scolding look, not really liking what he said in Italian, knowing I didn't understand. “Oh, sorry dear. - Said Marie. “Come and sit down. Collie was about to serve the tea. Unfortunately I was sitting next to Pierre and Adrian sat on the other side of me. My body was suddenly on high alert. I was aware of how close we were sitting. If either of us moved an inch towards each other, we would be touching each other. Her different scent caught my attention and I suddenly found myself fantasizing. And worst of all, I wanted more. "So, Jenny, how's the coffee business going?" Marie asked.

'Who's Shelly?' Marie asked and my heart stopped for a second. Before I could respond, though, Adrian spoke. “Shelly is your manager for as long as she's here. We told you not to call us unless it's really important. There was some problem with the suppliers, so she panicked. “That doesn't sound like a good manager to me. - commented Pierre. I gave him a look and he just shrugged. — Since your coffee is so dear to you, I say. He added with a cynical smile. I gaped, such that my jaw was almost on the floor. I peeked a glance at Adrian, who was busy talking about Marie. I ignored Pierre and tried to pay attention to the delicious lemon cheesecake in front of me. I took a bite, savoring the taste and feeling the way it exploded in my taste buds. I felt Pierre's leg against mine and my gaze caught his. He was staring at his phone indifferently, but I saw the smile on his face. — Pierre! I whistled and his amused gaze met mine. — Yes, Miss. Kingsley? - He smiled. He k

The French doors were open and I looked out onto the lawn. I calmly walked and the view was really impressive. She took my breath away. I looked back at the lawn. Moonlight fell on him, bathing him. The white lights that were there only accentuated his beauty. There were small bushes and plants, and a vegetable garden in the far corner. The only thing missing was a lake. A small laugh escaped me as I thought about where I was hiding. I wrapped my hands around myself, the cold getting more intense. Even though Italy was very hot, I felt a chill. At least it wasn't raining. I smiled. “Beautiful, isn't it? Someone spoke behind me and I screamed, turning around. Pierre Lawrence stood behind me in all his glory. He looked so cute, and so…edible. He was wearing only his pajama bottoms, leaving his beautiful chest on display. He raised an eyebrow at me. - MS. Kingsley? — Jennifer. — I corrected him. - Yea? “What are you doing out so late? he asked curiously, coming t

- Oh no. I laughed nervously. “It's just that I was expecting Adrian, and then he canceled, so I'm a little annoyed. "Do you miss Adrian, then?" - He asked. - Yea. I replied, aware that my statement had to be convincing for him to believe both of us. “That's good and bad at the same time. Pierre laughed. “But I assure you I won't leave you alone in this strange land. “That's comforting. I muttered dryly, making him laugh.“Must be, people here can get very lethal. - commented Pierre. I gave him a look of disbelief. He caught my gaze and smiled. — Where in the first place? “Breakfast would be nice. I replied, the ill effects of not having breakfast still washed over me now. “I know a place. - said Pierre. His phone rang and he plugged the device into his ear. It was only then that I realized he had a Bluetooth. — Yes, Noah. - He said. "Yeah... That's good... Not this week... I was serious... You what?" He turned to look at me. “I'll call you in awhile, Noah.

- Your mother? Pierre asked. Startled, I looked up, only to realize he was still here. Shit. - Ah yes? I said, knowing it sounded like a question. "She didn't want you to come here with my brother?" he asked, his eyes twinkling for some reason. I sighed. - It's complicated. She doesn't care, but she's a mother, isn't she? I think they are all like that. 'Why does she care?' Pierre asked, sounding genuinely curious. “You and Adrian have known each other for a long time. “My mom is just too worried. I said, hoping he would be satisfied with that. "Does she think you two can't spend so much time together?" he asked, a glint of happiness crossing his face. "Um... Can we go?" I asked, straying from the topic. Pierre was asking a lot of questions and those questions were pretty bad for the stupid act Adrian was letting me do. - Clear. Do you want to go anywhere? he asked very quickly. - No. I muttered, not wanting to do anything but curl up in the sheets and sleep,
