Fake it till you make it

A/N: everyone is aged up in this, also Jenna isn't an actress, she's a doctor in this one. 


Jenna's point of view:

I knocked on Y/N's door for the third time this week. She's a really nice girl but she annoys the hell out of me.

'Jenna, hi!' She greeted me with a big smile on her face.

'I assume you know why I'm here.. again' I started.

'I know, and I'm so sorry but I still can't pay you rent. Look, I'll get my paycheck this Friday, I promise, paying you is gonna be the first thing I do. Please.' I sighed.

'Fine. Friday. If the money isn't on my account by then, you're out' I stated firmly.

She nodded her head, smiled weakly and closed the door on me. I swear to god, this girl is going to ruin me. Every single month is the same, she plays this stupid game every single time I ask her to pay the fucking rent. But this is gonna be the last time. It has to be. I'm way too nice with her and she's clearly taking advantages of that.

Just when I got back to my own apartment and was about to relax and don't mind annoying Y/H/C haired girls in my life, my phone started to ring.

'Markus' I answered without thinking, it was my brother after all.

'I have big news Jen, I asked Emily to marry me and she said 'yes'! Be free on the weekend and come home, we're gonna celebrate our engagement. There's gonna be a lot of people attending, so, I hope you don't mind sharing a room with mom. I assume you're not bringing anyone, right? Not to sound rude but you never do.'

'Why would you even say that?' I raised my voice, getting annoyed the second time that day, but this time at my brother. It was just 11 am. 

'Come on, Jenna! We know you too well. Relationships are just not for you and there's nothing wrong with that, it's okay. I mean, someone has to take those poor cats from the shelter home.'

'You know what?! I will just call you back, I don't have time for your bullshit right now' I said and not waiting for Markus to say anything else, I hung up.

That is what my family thinks of me? The 29 year old cat lady who's never gonna find true love, ever and will die with 45 cats. Seems fair. But how could I find someone when apparently everyone is scared of an independent woman that knows exactly what she wants, not afraid to say what's on her mind and not playing games. These days, it looks like people just want flings, casual relationships and someone they can ruin completely. I would rather live with cats than be in a relationship that's toxic and just brings me down. 

But for now, I'm have to prove my family wrong. I'm going to prove them that I'm perfectly capable of finding and being in a relationship with a woman, not just with my cats.


The next day I was standing in front of Y/N's door - again - with a bottle of white wine in my hand.

'It's not Friday. I can't pay you right now' she opened the door with an annoyed look in her Y/E/C eyes.

'I am not here for your money, I need to talk to you. Can I come in?' I asked, gazing down at the wine in my right hand, smiling a little at the younger girl.

For a minute she was just standing there in silence, studying my whole presence. I was wondering what was going on in her mind. This girl is strange to say the least. I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm bipolar. Showing up mad yesterday, asking for her money and the next day casually stopping by with a bottle of wine... if I was her, I would probably think I'm bipolar too or that something is seriously wrong with me.

After what seemed like ages, she stepped away from the door, signaling me to come inside.

'So, if you're not here for the money, then what do you want?' she asked while she took a sip out of her water bottle.

'Let me ask you a question, Y/N! What do you think of me as a woman?' I sat down on her couch (well, technically my couch).

'Is this a trap?' She laughed nervously.

'Definitely not. There are no right or wrong answers, I just want you to be honest with me.'

'Alright, let's see. I think you're obnoxious, annoying and very pushy. You think too much of yourself and that's why you're alone. Cats don't count. People don't like that attitude, you know?! It scares them away. I think you should be a little nicer, less firm and then you would be okay-ish'

'Uhum, I'm out of here. I did not come here to listen you talking shit about me' I got up from the couch and headed to the front door. 'Oh, and I want my money on my account by this afternoon' I faked a smile.

'You see?! That's exactly what I'm talking about. As I recall, you were the one who came here and asked me a question. You wanted me to be honest, so I was. You can't take the truth, can you? And now you're all upset and frustrated just because you expected a compliment and you got something totally different' she shrugged. 'But if you want to leave, so be it, be as mad as you want to be. I'll move out, give me a few days to pack all my stuff.'

I took a few deep breaths and I sat back down on the furniture in the middle of the living room.

'Okay, let's just start this thing over again. I really do need your help.'

'You need MY help? Have you completely lost your mind?' She laughed.

'Look, there's this family gathering this weekend in Los Angeles, my family expects me to be there and I was supposed to go with my girlfriend but things didn't turn out the way I wanted them to. We broke up and my parents are gonna be extremely mad if I show up alone.'

Yes, I lied a little. So what?! I'm not gonna tell her how pathetic my love life is.

'I'm truly sorry to hear that Jenna but what exactly do you expect me to do with it?' she asked.

'Come with me, be my fake girlfriend for the weekend. Look, it's business. You don't have to pay for the next three month if you do this favor for me.'

'I wish I could help but I don't want to. Look, it disgusts me to hear that all that matters to your family is your private life but I don't want to be a part of your web of lies, I am a lot of things but definitely not a liar. Find someone else, I'm out.'

'Is this about your girlfriend? Because if it is, she won't know about it, I won't say a word. It's just one weekend, I promise' I begged. I didn't even know if she had a partner. She probably does because otherwise, she would be crazy to say no to this offer.

'My final answer is no, I'm sorry.'

'You know what?! I don't need that either. Here' I handed her the alcohol. 'Enjoy it with your girlfriend' and with that, I was out of her apartment.

If it happened because of the anger or disappointment, I didn't know, but I called Markus back the second I closed Y/N's door behind me.

'What's up, Jen?' I heard my brother's voice on the other end of the line.

'I'll be there on the weekend.'

'Awesome! So, you don't mind sleeping with mom?'

'About that, I'm taking my girlfriend' I said confidently.

'Your what?' Markus laughed. 'Since when do you have a girlfriend?'

'I'll tell you everything you need to know once I'm in LA. I'll see you.'


It was Friday morning. I needed to fly to LA in less than 12 hours and I still had no plan what I'm going do or who I'm going to the party with. The best I could think of was paying a hostess to play my partner for two days but I knew if my family found out, they would think I'm insane (which would be totally fair).

I let out a big sigh as I headed to my car to go to work. Could I be anymore pathetic and miserable than this? Because I truly don't think so.

The moment my vehicle got in sight, I recognized a familiar Y/H/C haired woman standing next to it.

'What a surprise seeing you here, Y/N! You came to pay for the apartment?' I smiled sarcastically.

'I was thinking, let's go through this once again. If I played your girlfriend this weekend, I wouldn't pay rent for the next 3 months, am I correct?'

'Yes ma'am' I smirked a little.

'I'm in. One weekend, nothing more' she said with a serious tone.

'Wait, are you for real?' I chuckled. 'Thank you so, so, so much, you're saving my life with that! You know what?! Are you free now? Let's get inside and talk about the details, shall we?' She rolled her eyes but nodded her head and made her way to my house.

Work was long forgotten.

'So, we met at a conference in Manhattan where I had a presentation about a new, better way to treat cancer. You saw me there and three days later reached out to me because you were too shy to make a conversation at the conference, clear?' I asked with a proud grin on my face.

'No wonder why you don't have a girlfriend, Doc. That story is freaking lame, I'm sorry.'

'I thought we agreed on playing this by my rules, so let's just stick to that' I rolled my eyes.

'I can't believe you're creating a fake life just for a weekend. What's up with all that?'

'Look, you don't know me nor my family. And you definitely don't want to. So, no unnecessary talk or questions, Miss. You should just focus on your part and please, pretty please, try not to forget it or mess it up.'

'How dumb do you think I am? Cancer treatment, too shy to make a move on you, email three days later. It's not that creative, trust me, I'll remember it.'

'As you should, this weekend has to be perfect.'

'It will be, trust me' she smiled at me and finished her drink with an excited look in her eyes.
