Wally Easters | Sally + Ward
“So, this lunch thing with your mum tomorrow ... there wasn’t very much thought put into this whole thing, was there?” He asked, taking a seat up on her desk, absentmindedly tossing her stress ball back and forth between his hands, “I mean, there’s the obvious question: how on earth did someone like you get someone like me to go out with you? I was thinking, perhaps, I’ve just come out of a como or maybe I was stranded on a desert island and you were the first girl I’ve seen in ten years or something? Your thoughts on this? I just, really think we need to make this believable, you know? Can’t have your mum suspecting anything."
He scratched his forehead, “Also, how long have we been dating? How did we meet? And where are we in the relationship? Obviously, we’re having sex. I know you wouldn’t be able to resist all of this,” He said, gesturing to himself, “You probably live at my place most of the time. I can only assume that you live in an apartment that’s filled with empty pizza boxes and too many cats.” He paused, “Should I make it a point to stress how rich I am? That way your mum will know that, at least, you will be taken care of financially if we are married and then divorced. Is there going to be a marriage, by the way? Give the old girl something to live for? That isn’t exactly what I signed up for, but ... I’ve never been married. Not even fake married, so ... what the hell. I’m game if you are, love,” He winked.
He was having more fun with this than he thought he would. Ward Eastwood was someone who was always up for anything. As someone who had the world at his fingertips, there was rarely anything he couldn’t do; nothing he couldn’t buy. So when an opportunity came round where he could try something new, he wasn’t going to say no. And pretending to be someone’s fake boyfriend wasn’t something he’d done before.There was also the added bonus of being able to try to get a rise out of Sally, and knowing that she would have to put up with him.
“Should we give ourselves a relationship name? Like those celebrity couples. You are, after all, practically dating one. Which do you prefer: Wally or Easters? Or should we just decide to name our first child that? Wally Easters Eastwood. He sounds horribly boring. I suppose he will get that from you,” He smirked.
