i got a bit carried away with this one if i'm honest

"I know this was all fake but… it felt real to say that I love you.” “And it felt real when I said it back.”

The weekend was almost over, the lake house you were staying at with Jake and his family was soon to be a memory. You remember when Jake first asked you to pretend to be his girlfriend, wanting to come home with someone so his mother would stop asking.

Sam had his girlfriend, Josh had his partner. Hell, Ronnie even had her own boyfriend that she was bringing. Jake was the only one without one.

He asked you over text, shooting it quickly a week before the two of you left. "Hey, this is a weird request, but can you pretend to be my girlfriend for the weekend? I kind of lied and told my mother I had one, and I'd really like to not lie to her."

Of course you would do it. Partly because you'd help Jake with anything if he asked, being one of your closest friends for the past five years. Partly because within these five years, you had started to gain feelings for him. You tried your hardest not to, listening to him occasionally talk about the girls he would bring home. But it was inevitable. Jake was inevitable.

The drive up there was easy going, the two of you talked about boundaries; what things you were okay with, what things you weren't. You talked about sleeping situations, Jake telling you that the two of you had a room to yourselves. You didn't mind sharing a bed if he didn't, reminding him that the two of you often slept in the same bed when you would crash at one another's places while wasted of your asses.

The two of you showed up and you were instantly met by Josh, who wrapped his arms around you. You had met all of his brothers before, even going out to brunch with Sam and his girlfriend. Karen yelled out to him to leave the two of you alone until you had gotten settled into the room.

Jake carried your bag over his shoulder while he rolled his suitcase behind him. You tried to tell him that you could carry it yourself, but he insisted. You just carried your purse inside behind him, following where he went.

The first night was easy, getting there in the middle of the afternoon had it's perks. You answered the first round of questions Karen and Kelly fired at you, wanting to know more about Jake's girlfriend. Karen was excited to meet you, as was Kelly, but Karen's smile never went away.

You and Jake laid in the bed together a little after midnight, your back to his chest. "Thank you for doing this for me."

"Of course, Jake. I would do anything for you." He wrapped his arm around you and pulled you in for a hug. You rested your hand on his arm as he squeezed you.

"Is this okay? Are you comfortable?" You nodded, eyes feeling heavy from the day of traveling the two of you had. "Goodnight," he pressed a kiss to your shoulder. "Sleep well."

"You too, Jake."

And you slept fucking fantastic. You woke up in the morning with your head on Jake's chest, hand thrown over his stomach and your legs intertwined with his. You were careful not to wake him as you left, dipping into the bathroom.

When Jake woke up, he looked over at you as you sat on the edge of the bed. Your head was tucked into the pages of a book, waiting for Jake to wake up. "G'morning."

"Morning, how'd you sleep?"

"Wonderfully. How about you?"

"Me too." You smiled at him, putting your bookmark between the pages you were on and dropping it on the floor. You crawled back up to where he was, laying your head on your pillow. Jake told you that today was going to be spent mostly on the boat, telling you that if you're ever uncomfortable with what he's doing, to pretend to itch your earlobe.

You practically sat on his lap while you were on the boat, legs draped over his lap. Your arm was wrapped around his shoulders, listening to his parents tell you a story about when Jake was younger. Your stomach hurt so much from laughing.

You were slightly thankful the staple of most boat trips involved alcohol. You were a couple beers in, as was Jake, and you began to really loosen up. Jake's hands wandered more, instead of staying stationary on your hip or your knee. It dragged along the skin of your thigh, grazing fingers making goosebumps appear on your skin.

Your lips always touched his cheekbone. You found his skin so kissable, so soft. You found comfort in knowing that Jake leaned into every kiss. He became ballsy, a few more beers in, capturing your lips in his own. Although it was short lived, the feeling of his lips on yours lasted for hours.

When you all got off the boat, back onto dry land, Josh insisted on making a fire. The boys all went to collect wood, building the fire on their own. The partners decided to grab some more beers, throwing them into the cooler.

Jake had brought out an old guitar from the basement, making sure it was tuned properly before he began to play it. You had never heard him sing before. Drunk, absolutely. He was dogshit at karaoke (but so were you when drunk). His voice was beautiful, melodic as he sang.

He looked over to you while he sang, smile wide on his face. You gave him one back that was equally as big. He ended his song, eyes still on you while everyone else cheered. "I love you," you admitted, putting a hand on his cheek.

"I love you, too, Sunshine." He pressed his lips to yours, your hand weaving into his hair. You lightly bit into his bottom lip, feeling as he hummed against your lips.

The two of you drank more, ending up in the same bed once again. He giggled as he tried to get off his jeans. You helped him as best you could, equally as drunk as you were.

The next morning you would face the consequences of your words from last night. The admission of love. You waited for him out by the lake, on the dock. It was your last day, so you took advantage of it. You soaked in as much of the sunshine as you could, the tips of your toes touching the water below you.

"Hi," Jake said, sitting next to you on the dock. "Can I join you?"

"Yeah, of course. Go ahead." The birds chirped in the vacancy of words.

“So last night…” He started.

“I’m sorry, I-I..” You sighed, trying to find the right words. “I know this was all fake but… it felt real to say that I love you.” You admitted, staring out at the lake in front of you.

“And it felt real when I said that I love you back.”

“I don’t know if I can pretend anymore, Jake.” You turn towards him, making eye contact with him.

“I know. I can’t pretend anymore. I… I genuinely do love you, Sunshine. I think I always have.”
