"Turn to the left"

Dave does as told and he hears the camera flick multiple times. He looks at Jack who looked at him before looking into the camera.

Last night Jack had offered to marry him but now the man was pretending he didn't say that.

"Jack"

"One more shot, then we can talk"

He sighed. What was this man's problem?

After their mini photoshoot, Jack packs up his equipment while Dave took off Victoria's concept designs and changed into his own.

"Can we talk now?"

Jack sighed.

"Sure"

They enter a restaurant and they sit at the back. Dave orders a cappuccino while Jack had an espresso.

"Did you mean it? You'll marry me so we'll get the funds?"

Jack nodded.

"It's for a good cause so why not"

Dave smiled at him.

"Thank you so much! I don't know how I'll ever repay you"

"You can pay me back by going after your dream. That's why I'm doing this"

Dave nodded enthusiastically.

"Deal. But first we have to make up a contract"

"What do you mean?" Dave asks.

"My parents have to believe this is real so you have to know important things about me and you have to share about yourself too"

"Okay"

Dave leans forward, the table stood in between them.

"I'm allergic to peanuts, my first dog was a golden retriever named Bentley. I like chocolate cake and my birthday is on the 21st of January"

Jack nodded as he wrote this down.

"Okay my turn. I'm not allergic to anything, I had a cat called Matilda and we share the same birthday"

Dave looked at him in shock.

"We do?"

"Yes"

Dave smiled warmly.

"Alright. How did we meet?" He asks.

"Through your aunt, we'll use those rumors as a way of our cover being blown"

"That's clever. Okay we'll go with that"

"So we'll have some rules then. We'll only share a room if we're in the presence of my family. If I call you and start calling you honey, know that I'm with my family. You can date whomever you want but keep it private until our deal has expired. Expect people to be taking pictures of you everyday so always be careful with what you do" Dave stated and Jack wrote all these down.

Then they shake hands, Jack couldn't help but feel this was going to be more than a contract based relationship. Dave then frowned.

"We need rings"

•°• ✾ •°•

"We can get simple silver bands" He said but Jack refused.

"If your parents have to believe this is real, we need the best rings"

Dave sighed in defeat. The two were currently inside the prestigious Cartier jewellery store. Jack was busy looking through their catalogue while Dave was looking out of their front window display.

"Is this what you had in mind?"

Dave turns around and sees Jack holding two rings, the man's eyes were practically sparkling in excitement. Dave walks up to them and takes a look.

"Oh my....how much are these?" He asks.

"The emerald cut is 10.29 carats so around £9 000 and the men's band is platinum so £9 500"

Dave looks at Jack in shock. He pulls him to the side.

"Are you insane?! These are expensive"

Jack sighed.

"Do you really think your parents will believe we're married when they see you with some cheap ring?"

"I- no" he says in defeat.

"Thought as much, now you pay for mine and I'll pay for yours"

"What?! Why?"

"This is your idea"

Dave sighed again. This was starting to be a bad idea. After they paid for their rings, they went straight to the hotel to pack up.

"So once we get home we'll be a married couple" Dave says and Jack nodded. Jack doesn't know why, but this fake marriage was making him a little bit happy.

"Yep"

Dave changes into the clothes he wore at the fashion show while Jack put on simple black slacks and a royal blue shirt, both men wearing sneakers.

"Let's go home"

•°• ✾ •°•

"Thank you for flying with us and have a great stay"

The two chuckled as they walk out of the plane. Jack had brought his car to the airport so they were to share.

Dave quickly puts on a pair of sunglasses and slips on his ring, the sparkling diamond almost made him squeal.

"Do you need help with your bags?" Jack asked.

"No but thanks for asking"

Once they had went through airport security, they went over to the parking lot where Jack's royal blue Range Rover Sport was parked.

"Nice car" Dave complimented.

"Thanks, it's a shame someone as cheap as you has to get inside of it though"

Dave snarled and punched him on the arm.

"That's not funny"

Jack watches Dave make his way to the passenger side. He chuckles.

"Is it not?"

On the way home, Dave realized something.

"We have to live together"

"So I'm assuming that I'm moving into your parents home?" Jack inquires.

"No it's mine. I bought it when I was 20"

"Oh, that's good then"

"But the thing is I haven't lived in it since"

Jack sighed. He should have known!

"Then we'll clean it up and move in at the same time"

"I'll have Frank clean it"

"Who's Frank?"

"My butler"

Jack chuckles.

"No butler, you and I will clean it together"

"Jack....the house has 20 rooms"

Jack felt like he was being pranked.

"So it's a mansion"

"More like a manor. Palladian style"

"I have to see this for myself"

•°• ✾ •°•

They stood there, admiring the grand manor. Jack felt like he was in a romance novel involving a rich kid. This was too surreal.

"You bought this for yourself?"

Dave nods as he unlocks the door, using his eye as the key. They head inside and Jack looks around while Dave disabled the alarm system.

"So this is our home from now on. Luckily I had my interior designer decorate the whole house so it's fully furnished. All we need to do is dust up a bit"

Jack nods and starts rolling up the sleeves of his shirt.

"Let's get started then"

Dave sighed but joined him, they found dusting cloths in the kitchen and a few cans of Mr Min surface cleaner.

Jack looked at Dave, the man was sweating buckets from so little work? He chuckles, shaking his head.

"What?" Dave asks. Jack shook his head again.

"Nothing"

He gave Jack a skeptical look and continued with his work, then he feels a mist of water on his neck making him yelp. Jack laughed loudly.

"Relax it's just me" he said, still laughing. Dave frowned and swatted him on the head.

"Not funny" he pouted.

"Awee come on, it's just us having fun"
Jack watched Dave sigh and got back to dusting. He shrugs and stands up.

"I'll start the master bedroom. You finish up here"

"Okay"

He goes up the stairs, running the cloth along the stair railings. He goes down the hall, assuming the room he's looking for was at the end of  said hall. He opens the door and tenses up.

"This bed.....it looks familiar"

"Ngh....Jack"

He blushes and goes further inside, looking around the room only to gasp when he saw a large potrait of Dave on the wall, the man was laying on a piano, a sheer cloth covering the intimate parts of his naked body.

"Who knew he'd be so....freaky" he says and looks away from the portrait, opening the curtains to gaze at a hill view from afar.

"Oh my God!" Dave yelped downstairs. Jack frowned and rushes down the stairs only to find Dave standing on the coffee table.

"What's wrong?"

"I just saw a rat!"

Jack wanted to laugh.

"Where did it go?"

Dave points to the bookshelf.

"There"

Dave watches Jack take a cloth and look under the shelf. He gasps when he hears a squeak and Jack stands back up. The rat in his hand.

"We'll need a cat or two" Jack said and Dave nodded.

"Noted"
