Rent a christian boyfriend

He was so honest

I walked into a ruckus.

Noise, dismissive arguments.

A tad bit laughter.

"No no, I just don't understand how Grace still goes back to such an abusive relationship.." Eric explained to the group of women who listened attentively. No one had noticed my presence yet as I stood in my corner away from the dining table, where eight people sat with their books.

I didn't expect such a scene.

"Love is like that sometimes, I mean look no matter how much that person hurts you. You will always be bound to go back. Grace loves William dearly." One of the ladies who seemed to be her late forties explained as everyone listened carefully, including my mom. I couldn't help but bite back a smile as I looked at Eric browsing through his novel wearing spectacles-

Spectacles?!

Never took him as a four eyes type of guy. Never the less, he looked so attractive and yet so innocent. He was only a year older than me making him twenty-six but I always found myself feeling like he was a mere child who always needed my protection.

"Look here ladies, page 56 paragraph 2 Grace clearly explains to her mother that she never wants to see William again. This is after he had hit her for the second time alright..."

Eric seemed so passionate.

They continued to bicker until my eyes met those hazel brown eyes that belonged to Eric. He finally acknowledged my presence, a smile graced his lips making everyone around the dining table turn to my direction.

"You finally back, honey?" My mom gave me a smile.

"Yes, evening ladies." I greeted everyone in the room. I could feel Eric's eyes all over me. They all greeted me back, giving me quick smiles. Most of them were from church, Laura's mom was present as well as Robbie's mom, Mallory's mother.

"Dinner is in the microwave." She said but I didn't feel hungry. I had already had Chinese takeaways with Sam and Laura.

"Thanks mom but I'm actually going to go lie down." I said turning to walk away. I immediately heard a chair being pulled out from the table. I knew it was Eric...

I just knew.

Making my way upstairs to my room, I didn't sense his footsteps. I just felt his arms wrap around my waist.

"I won't lie, I missed you." He whispered in my ear making me blush.

"Thought you would be out picking up ladies, getting laid and hey why did you remove your glasses?" I said softly once I had turned around and realized he wasn't wearing them anymore.

"They're called reading glasses for a reason." He chuckled.

There was awkward silence as I pulled away from him to get into my room. He followed, closing the door behind him. Like he always does, he sat on my bed watching me as I removed my shoes... making myself comfortable.

"So where were you?" He asked a curious pout on his lips.

"Thought I told you earlier.." I shrugged.

"Oh.." he composed himself. "So you basically spent the whole day at their apartment doing nothing."

"Eric, you do realize I'm not your actual girlfriend right?" I turned to look at him but he only now gave me a cold glare.

"Yeah but you hired me here and then you just leave me with your parents. What should I think? I'm here to date your parents?"

"I'm sorry Eric, I have to spend every second of the day with you.. might as well put you in my handbag so you can tag along everywhere!" I said beyond annoyed.

"That would be great so I know you aren't busy with sugar t**s and using me as a Facade for your family." He snapped.

"Are you ever nice? Do you ever say anything nice? Or wait you're nice to everyone but me." I sarcastically rolled my eyes.

"I'm actually very nice, you just don't appreciate the s**t I do for you."

I laughed.

"The s**t you do for me? I'm practically paying you to do that shit."

He sighed running his fingers through his black jet curly locks.

"Trust me if I didn't need this money as much as I do right now. I would have told you to stop paying my arse." He almost yelled seeming frustrated.

"Then what?" I asked hoping he would say what I wanted him to say. That he would want to start over and be my actual boyfriend. It was undeniable we had deep chemistry even if we spent most of the time quarreling.

"Then I would leave." He bluntly replied.

Not the answer, I was expecting.

"Right well good night." I said not knowing how to respond to that.

"I don't do this for fun, Leona." He sighed ignoring my dismissal.

"Well at first you said you did so I don't know what to think." I replied, getting into the bathroom to change into my pajamas, he was quiet the whole time just laying back on my bed until I came out.

He finally spoke up.

"It was a joke."

"So why do you do this?" I asked softly going to seat on my bed. His arms were wide open gesturing for me to come lay down with him. It was my first time seeing him in just a T-shirt and sweats. He seemed so comfortable and so at home. I didn't hesitate cuddling up to his warm body, he held me tight against his chest. It was comforting, even though I wasn't facing him and my back was against his chest. I could clearly feel his heartbeat, rise and fall.

"I just really need the money." He said in a dismissive tone.

"Do you think you will ever even be able to pay back the money you took?" I asked again.

"I will make a plan." He said in a rather defeated voice. I wanted to tell him that he could keep it as long as it made him worry less and as long as he needed it but I couldn't because then he could take advantage of my kindness so I kept quiet and still in my spot. His chin softly nuzzled my neck, it felt ticklish. His arms traced my curves, rubbing softly. It was comfortable. We kept quiet for a while, just enjoying each other's silence. I knew Eric was a troubled soul and I wanted to help him if he would allow me but his walls were higher than the Wall Trump planned on building. Eric never let his guard down and I wasn't sure if he would ever let me in. After the new information I had discovered today, I had so many more questions but I couldn't act if I knew anything that would certainly blow him off knowing I was snooping around.

I felt sleepy.

I wasn't sure if he was still awake.

"Eric?" I said softly, my eyelids closing slowly.

"Yes, love?"

That endearment.

"Tell me a story?" I said out of the blue.

"Alright but be warned, I'm the worst story teller." I heard him say. My eyes were still closed, clearly tired and ready to doze off.

"There was.." he paused probably thinking. "There was once a beautiful women who fell inlove with a tourist. He swept her off her feet and promised her heaven and earth. For years he would visit her and be with her even though they didn't see each other anytime they wanted to because of his visa. He made it a point to always visit once a year for atleast a month."

I felt sleepy but I really liked this story, it was soothing as Eric ran his fingers through my hair, he just loved my hair, I had came to realize. I didn't mind, I enjoyed it.

"He proposed to her and they promised to start a family which they did. She gave birth to a baby boy. The man was so happy. Sadly he couldn't stay with them because of his job in Spain so for years he travelled back and forth that was until the boy turned eight then he stopped coming. The boy waited for his father to come from Spain, he would tell all his friends about his precious hardworking father."

"Sadly it was brought to life that this man had been living a double life, he was married back in Spain and had one son. The woman was shuttered. Everyone shunned her for being with a married man. He never apologized, the man never came back to explain himself.."

"The boy grew distant and cold."

Everything he said went in through one ear and out with the other as I finally slept peacefully in his arms, he laid gentle kisses here and there.

There was no way, we could stay away from each other.
