    Home for the Holidays💐

    Your family always found a way to hound you every holiday season to ask when you were going to bring a man home and every year you gave them the same answer: that you were too busy with your studies to settle into a serious relationship.

    Which is how you ended up in this complicated mess in the first place.

    Last Christmas, your family started on you again, teasing you about your lack of a love life. But you'd had enough of their teases, so you'd accidentally said that you had been seeing this man for the past few months and that you would bring him home to meet everyone come time for Thanksgiving.

    You thought this would stop their need for more details, but now they hounded you over a boyfried that didn't even exist. The holiday approached so fast, and with it came the sense of impending Doom. You didn't want to let anyone down, but you also didn't know what to do.

    So here you were, standing outside at the bus stop waiting for the bus to take you to your parents house, wondering how you were going to get yourself out of this one.

    But thats when an idea struck. What if you paid a stranger to pretend to be your boyfriend for a few hours? Surely there would be some poor sod who would be up for free food and a stack of cash in exchange for a few hours of awkward small talk with your family... Right?

    You decided you were going to ask the first person you see, but the stop was almost deserted, not a soul in sight. Just when you were about to give up hope, a man turned onto the street and came to stand beside you, both waiting for the same bus. He was tall, muscular and oh so handsome, with an air of mystery around him. He was perfect.

    Before you lost your nerve, you introduced yourself and quickly explained your situation. He started to laugh, but then he saw that you were serious and he thought about it. Really thought about it.. He had told Price he would take it easy and it was all in good fun, right?"

    "I'll do it, but we need to set some ground rules first if we are going to pull this off love.."
