Sure

“Sure, why not?” slurred Sean “It’s not like you guys don’t hug and you already kiss on the cheek when you greet. So there might be a peck on the lips and just because two people share a room doesn't mean they are fucking, so go ahead.” He was being a little flippant but he was annoyed by the way she had spoken. He was a mature adult, not a jealous kid and this should prove it.

Chloe threw her hands up “I guess that settles it then. I’ll be your pretend girlfriend.”

Magnus jumped up and extended his hand to Sean and pulled him to his feet so he could give him a big bear hug. “This is excellent news, thank you so much for being cool with it.” Chloe had stood up to join the celebration and Magnus wrapped one of his big arms around her waist and pulled her close and kissed her on the mouth.

Chloe’s eyes went wide and she didn’t reciprocate the kiss. She punched him on the shoulder when he broke off “Jesus, don’t surprise me like that” she admonished.

Magnus laughed and let her go “I’m sorry but we will have to practice a little. If you punch me like that after a kiss I’m not sure they will believe we are a couple.

“We can sort that out another time, don’t just **** me with that hairy face of yours.”

“Sorry, sorry” said Magnus still chuckling “You are quite right. Look, I’m going to head off, I’m sure you two will want to talk about it and if I stay any longer I’m worried that we will end up drinking more and I have a meeting tomorrow. I’m staying in the area for a while so we should all hang out again soon.” He hugged Chloe and patted Magnus on the shoulder as he made his way to the door. “I’ll talk to you in the next day or so and we can sort out the details” and with that he was gone.

Chloe shook her head at the ridiculousness of the situation. She didn’t mind pretending to be Magnus’s girlfriend for a bit. She liked the big buffoon and while they had never hooked up at university, if she hadn’t met Sean she could have seen it happening. She turned around and looked at Sean. He was staring into space How much did he drink? she thought “You okay babe?” she asked.

Sean snapped himself out of it “Yea, fine, just tired I guess. I’m going to clean my teeth” he said already on his way into the bathroom. He closed the door behind him and leaned against it. What did I just agree to? he wondered. His hand reached down and adjusted his crotch. And why did I get an erection when he kissed her?
