Chapter 13 - Yes?

Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hanks? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw was curious onlookers.

"Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth!" He said in a very loud voice which caught the attention of everyone.

Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hanks?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute.

Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any was, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal, or about his supposed engagement, and that would be enough to let Sophia off the hook.

"Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring.

"Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response.

"Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle, and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan, before kissing him right on the lips.

Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness, but quickly recovered since this was his game and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia.

Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream, right? How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

"Ahem!" The editor coughed, to remind them they were in the open when the kiss started dragging on for too long and Sonia was beginning to wrap her legs around Bryan.

Both Bryan and Sonia let go of each other without taking their eyes off each other. Bryan couldn't help noticing that Sonia was definitely no blushing virgin. He had thought she would feel embarrassed when he let her go, but to his surprise she had a silly grin on her face.

"Mr Conner meet my fiance, Bryan Hanks. I'm sure you know him. Babe this is my editor, Mr James Conner." Sonia said, as though she was doing the most natural thing in the world, and then leaned into Bryan and rested her head on his chest.

Bryan had to give it to her, she was a very good actress. She was a natural. He knew if he watched the scene from afar he would believe what was going on right here to be true.

"Mr Hanks, it's my pleasure to meet you. I'm a die-hard fan, and I never imagined Sonia... I mean Miss Smith, was seeing someone as distinguished as you." Mr Conner said with a broad smile as he extended his hand for a handshake.

Bryan shook hands with him, and pasted a smile on his face before looking around to make sure people had taken enough photos of them, "If you don't mind, I have to leave for my suite now. Baby you can meet me inside after your meeting." Bryan said with a smile before detaching his arm from Sonia's.

"I'm sure Mr Conner here would understand that we just got engaged so I can't discuss work right now. Let's just return to the suite together, right Mr Conner?" Sonia asked as she intertwined their arms once again.

"Yeah. You're right. Congratulations to you both once again. Let's talk tomorrow Miss Smith." Mr Conner said with a slight bow before walking away.

"Let's go in baby." Sonia said, urging Bryan to move.. She had been bored **less, and had been looking for something really exciting to cure her writer's block and here it was.
