A Christmas Spark

Samantha’s POV:I blinked, surprised. “Piano? Really?” He nodded, taking a sip of his coffee. “My grandmother taught me when I was a kid. She was brilliant. I’m not, but it helps clear my head.”The mention of his grandmother brought a softness to his expression, and I felt a flicker of understanding. Maybe there was more to him than I had given him credit for. “What about you?” he asked, leaning forward slightly. “What’s something you love that has nothing to do with bad dates?”I chuckled, swirling my latte with the spoon. “Art. Painting, specifically. It’s my escape.” His eyes lit up with genuine interest. “Painting? What kind of stuff do you paint?”“Landscapes, mostly. Sometimes abstract when I’m in a mood.” I paused, looking at him curiously. “Do you ever share your music with anyone?” He shook his head, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips. “Not really. It’s more for me. But I’d love to hear about your art sometime.”Something about his tone felt sincere, and I found mysel

Holiday Pressure

A Billionaire For Christmas/Oma

Samantha’s POV:“Omg!” Rosy screamed as I revealed my experience from the previous night. I rushed to cover her mouth, glancing nervously around the café. “Shhhh… keep it down or people will hear our conversation!” She nodded, her eyes wide with excitement, and I slowly removed my hand. “Sorry, sorry,” she whispered, though her voice was still brimming with energy. “I’m just so… so… shocked!” “Yeah, I know, right? I didn’t believe it either,” I said, leaning closer. “I was having a terrible date, and then I bumped into him. He offered to take me for coffee, apologized, and… I don’t know. It was nice. I guess maybe he’s not so bad after all.” Rosy stared at me, her jaw dropping slightly. “Wow. I can’t believe it. The arrogant prick turned out to be your first decent date. What is this, a Christmas miracle?” I rolled my eyes but couldn’t help the small smile tugging at my lips. “Don’t get carried away. It’s just one coffee. One decent conversation. That doesn’t mean anyth

A Risk Worth Taking

A Billionaire For Christmas/Oma

Julian’s POV“Sir?” Fred’s voice broke through my thoughts as he knocked lightly on my desk to get my attention. I blinked and looked up at him, realizing he had been standing there for some time. “Oh, Fred. What is it?” I asked, trying to mask the goofy smile I could feel tugging at my lips. Fred crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow at me. “I’ve been standing here the whole time, and you didn’t even notice. What could possibly be making you smile this morning, sir?” I shook my head quickly, sitting up straighter. “It’s nothing.” Fred’s smirk deepened. “Nothing, huh? That’s the kind of ‘nothing’ that makes a man stare off into space with a goofy grin on his face. Let me guess... a woman?” I rolled my eyes, but the slight flush on my face betrayed me. “Fred, don’t you have work to do?” “Oh, I do. But seeing my boss in such an unusual mood is far more entertaining.” I sighed, leaning back in my chair. “Fine. If you must know, I ran into Samantha last night.” Fred’s e

A Simple Yet Elegant Evening

A Billionaire For Christmas/Oma

Samantha’s POV"Rosy, do you really think it’s necessary to shop like I’m going on some grand date? Julian just wants to grab dinner as friends. I don’t need to doll myself up to make an impression,” I said, watching as Rosy continued to drape dress after dress in front of me, examining each one critically. “Nonsense!” She declared, holding up a red cocktail dress. “You must look good no, stunning to drive him crazy. That’s how you win his heart!” “Win his heart? I don’t want to win his heart,” I protested, crossing my arms. “I’m not interested in dating anyone, Rosy.” She nodded, but the mischievous glint in her eyes told me she wasn’t convinced. “Yeah, yeah. Keep telling yourself that, sweetie.” I groaned, pulling a simple black dress off the rack and holding it up. “Can we just keep it simple? It’s *not* a date. It’s just two people having dinner.” Rosy smirked. “Two people who have undeniable chemistry.” I gave her a pointed look. “I’ll say it one last time: it’s *not

The Wedding Invitation

A Billionaire For Christmas/Oma

Samantha’s POV:After the dinner date that night, when I returned home, I couldn’t help but smile to myself. I actually enjoyed it. Julian was surprisingly a good company, and for the first time in a long time, I found myself looking forward to the possibility of another date. He wasn’t so bad after all. I slipped out of my dress, headed to the shower, and let the warm water wash away the lingering tension of the day. By the time I came out, feeling refreshed, I noticed my phone screen lighting up with a message from my mom. I sighed, ready to ignore it. Her recent messages were always about Christmas and her expectations. But the first line stopped me in my tracks: “Your sister is getting married this Christmas.” My brows shot up as I quickly opened the entire message. “Your sister has finally decided to settle down with her boyfriend, and they’ve planned a Christmas wedding. So, you need to come home and bring your boyfriend with you so the family can meet him.” I froze

The Pretend Boyfriend

A Billionaire For Christmas/Oma

The Pretend Boyfriend. Samantha’s POV I couldn’t sleep. My thoughts were spinning like a carousel, one idea after another flashing through my mind. No matter how much I fought against it, the idea of involving Julian in my family drama refused to go away. But I had backed myself into a corner. My sister was expecting me to show up with a boyfriend. I groaned, pulling the blanket over my head. “How did I get myself into this mess?” I tossed the blanket aside and stared at the ceiling, the glow of the streetlights seeping through my curtains. The thought of asking Julian to be my pretend boyfriend for Christmas made my stomach twist in knots. “Should I invite him for a cup of coffee to explain everything?" I sighed, sitting up in bed and hugging my knees. “No, that’s crazy. He’ll think I’m insane. Who even does that?” I muttered aloud. Still, the thought lingered. Julian had been kind and understanding so far, but this was a whole new level of awkward. “Could I e

Fake It Till You Make It

A Billionaire For Christmas/Oma

Samantha’s POVOver the next few days, the reality of my plan began to set in. I had roped Julian into pretending to be my boyfriend for Christmas, and while he seemed okay with it, the situation was anything but simple. Rosy was ecstatic when I told her. "I knew he'd say yes! There’s no way he’d turn this down," she said, her voice practically singing through the phone. "Rosy, stop," I groaned, pacing my living room. "He's just being nice. And besides, this isn't real." "Sure, keep telling yourself that," she teased. I sighed, plopping onto my couch and grabbing a throw pillow to hug. "Rosy, this is a terrible idea. What if my mom sees right through us? Or worse, what if Julian thinks I'm crazy for dragging him into this whole thing?" Rosy laughed. "Samantha, your mom is going to eat this up. And Julian clearly doesn’t think you’re crazy. He agreed, didn’t he? Plus, it's not like you're asking him to marry you it's just a harmless little charade." "Harmless?" I raised

Beyond The Script

A Billionaire For Christmas/Oma

Julian’s POV“You agreed to be her what?!” Fred exclaimed, his eyes wide in shock, nearly dropping the tablet he was holding. I nodded slowly, rolling my chair to face away from him, trying to avoid the inevitable barrage of questions. “Her fake boyfriend for the holiday,” I repeated, my voice calm, though internally, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it either. Fred let out a low whistle, setting the tablet down on my desk. “Wow. Just… wow. I mean, I’ve seen you do some questionable things, but this? This takes the cake.” “Fred,” I warned, swiveling back around to glare at him, “I’m doing this to help her out, okay? It’s not that big a deal.” “Not that big a deal?” Fred threw his hands up dramatically. “You’re agreeing to spend an entire holiday pretending to be in love with her in front of her family. Do you realize how messy this could get? Or… maybe,” he added, narrowing his eyes, “you don’t mind because you actually like her.” I scoffed, leaning back in my chair. “Don’t

Rehearsing Reality

A Billionaire For Christmas/Oma

Samantha’s POV “So,” Julian said, leaning forward on the table as I adjusted myself in the chair. “Where did we ‘meet’?” “Uh… the coffee shop?” I suggested hesitantly. “Too predictable,” he replied, shaking his head with mock disappointment. “What about the bookstore down the street?” I blinked, caught off guard. “The bookstore?” He shrugged, a playful grin forming on his face. “It sounds more romantic, doesn’t it? Like I bumped into you while you were reaching for a book and accidentally knocked it out of your hand?” I laughed, the mental image playing vividly in my head. “Okay, fine. The bookstore. But what book was I reaching for?” His eyes lit up with mischief. “Something intellectual, obviously. Maybe a classic—Pride and Prejudice?” I snorted. “Let’s keep it realistic. How about a mystery novel? That’s more my speed.” “Done,” he said, as if sealing the deal. “I picked up the book, handed it back to you, and we started talking about your love for detective storie

Before Meeting The Parents

A Billionaire For Christmas/Oma

Julian’s POV:The next morning, the sunlight streaming through my windows reminded me it was the weekend. I rolled out of bed, stretching out the lingering stiffness from the week. After a quick workout, I headed to the kitchen to blend a healthy smoothie. Just as I was about to take my first sip, the doorbell rang.I glanced at the clock. 9:00 AM. Only one person would show up this early without warning.Fred.With a sigh, I pressed the button to let him in. Moments later, he walked through the door, not bothering with a greeting.“I got your message,” he announced, arms crossed. “You can’t really be going ahead with this crazy idea of being Samantha’s fake boyfriend for Christmas.”I ignored him, taking a long sip of my smoothie, hoping he’d tire himself out.Fred was undeterred. “You’re going to her parents’ house in two days, and you think it isn’t a big deal? It’s all wrong, Julian. Every part of it.”I raised an eyebrow, leaning against the counter. “Good morning to you too, Fre
