Chapter 26: Don’t Worry

Mariela's POV

I felt so excited about going to the mall with Archer, even if it was not an actual date; I ended up putting on my favorite dress. It was given to me by my mother, but I didn't wear it, but this time I don't want Archer to feel ashamed walking in the mall with me. He already told me about his impressions regarding my wardrobe, and even if I knew he had a point, I couldn't stop feeling so hurt.

I know I should not dress up because we only pretend to have a fake relationship, but it feels like a date for me. And it was so lovely because it was with Archer, and even if I know he will never like me, I don't want him to think I don't know what to wear in going to the mall with my fake boyfriend, and I smiled as I realized why not try to dress up for once.
