All Chapters of THE CONTRACTUAL GIRLFRIEND: FAKE DATING MY EX FAVORITE PLAYE: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Maren’s pov.I need a larger space.I glanced around the painting mess in my living room, “Do you think I can get a studio apartment?” I asked Rylee, who was helping me with my painting tools.“Why not get a larger apartment” she suggested, I shook my head, I can't just get a larger apartment it is expensive. I want to save for a small house in the suburbs, I intended to buy one after seeing how peaceful and quiet the suburbs are.And an old good truck after the contract with Gideon’s ends.“I don't want to, actually I am saving up for a house…” I smiled, rubbing my hands against my trousers.Rylee didn't look at me with Judgement in her eyes instead she smiled, “That’s great but getting a studio will be expensive too”“Yes but I have no choice, look around the mess” I said, I am a little confused.“Do you have a town in mind? Or place” Rylee asked implying about the house I wanted to buy.“Not really, I am checking out places and I am still saving ” I tell her before Rylee could

Maren's pov“What do you think about this Christmas tree?” I heard Rylee ask, I look at her. She was standing near a tree about five feet.“it is nice” I walked up to her,to examine the Christmas tree. “Those ornaments we got will look good on it.”“Yeah,” Rylee agreed, “Now that we have picked the tree and the decorations. It's time to get our gift which means, we are going to separate stores to pick out our gift” “Okay, I am going to pick a gift that you won't forget” I laughed, Rylee joined me. She was able to convince her parents that she can't come home this Christmas to spend it with me.“Fine, I will take up this challenge.” She said, “Before I forget again, I don't think you will be able to invite Gideon and Jaxon because the team is holding a Christmas dinner party. Gideon will probably invite you” “Oh…Okay. He hasn't said anything to me yet. He is probably busy” I smiled, “He should text too soon if he wants you to come,” Rylee said, “Let go pay for the tree” Rylee slid h

Maren's pov“Ohh…my back” Mrs Winston complained as she sat on the couch holding her waist. I smiled. I would have helped her but when I tried to do that an hour ago she slapped my hands away, telling me she is strong enough.She even volunteered to help with the decorations and she didn't forget to tell me that she is happy I am no longer with Dylan.She even said I look happier with Gideon if she only knows that it is not a real relationship, I used to think she doesn't like me until now I just realized that she doesn't like Dylan.“Oh before I forget, my friend is willing to rent you her basement. She said she will rent to you at five hundred and you can bargain” Mrs Winston said, “I will take you both if you want maybe tomorrow” I and Rylee exchange a look, “Thank you Mrs Winston, we will like to see it tomorrow” I smiled, “Good…we should continue with the tree” Mrs Winston said as she tried to stand up.“Mrs Winston, I think you should keep resting. I mean it only remains the t

Maren's povI watched Jaxon follow Gideon out the restaurant, Gideon is obviously pissed and I don't think it is about Dylan.Did something happen?I should talk to him now. Maybe it will help with the bad air between us. I stood up, telling the waitress that I wanted to step out.When I stepped out of the restaurant, Gideon and Jaxon were just outside the restaurant. Arguing in a low tone, it was a little heated.I folded my arms. The night was quite cold. I didn't even have my coat, Gideon noticed me and he stopped talking. Jaxon turned to me, “Maren” he called, smiling.“I want to speak to Gideon,” I smiled, glancing between them. I made sure not to meet Gideon's gaze. “Can you excuse us?” I asked Jaxon.“Yeah…he also wants to talk to you” Jaxon smiled too, he gave his friend a look before turning to me with a smile. “I will go in,” Jaxon brushed past me.I walked towards Gideon, “Hey” I stood beside him.“Hey” he answered,“I…I wanted to talk to you about Dylan. That night at yo

Maren's pov It is the night before Christmas and Rylee pushed the wrapped gifts under the tree and then clapped her hands satisfied with what she had done. We are wearing matching pyjamas and Rylee seems to love it.I am glad she did, I hope she likes her gift.“What's that burnt smell in the air?” I asked, sniffing the air. It smells like burning… “The cookies!” I screamed, running towards the kitchen.“Shit,” I heard Rylee curse as she followed me. I quickly grabbed a kitchen glove and opened the oven. The cookies are almost burnt badly.“This is bad,” I said. We have made some cookies before but we want to make a lot of cookies to fill a full huge cookie jar. My eye fell on the huge cookie jar which was halfway full.“We don't have to worry about who is going to eat it, Noah will. He loves cookies like this,” Rylee said, Noah is Rylee’s Elder brother and he came to Seattle for business.He is spending Christmas with us. Noah is a lovely person. We even took a picture together at
