    Summary

    Penelope needs a date to her ex boyfriend, Alfie Debling's wedding. She thinks asking Colin to pretend to be her date for the evening could be the best, or more likely, the worst, idea she's ever had.

    Colin just wonders how on earth he's going to get through the evening when pretending is the last thing he wants to be doing when it comes to Penelope.

    From the prompt - "My ex just invited me to their wedding and I need you to be my date so it doesn’t look like I’ve spent the last few years failing to get over them."

    Summary

    She never felt this confident in a service before and slowly, she began to forget about that food critic and their remarks about her (wonderful) risotto. She wiped her hands on her apron, smiling as she looked around the kitchen.

    That was, until she heard two of the servers whispering harshly to one another, rapid and urgent.

    “You tell her.”

    “No, you should do it. She likes you better.”

    Or Penelope is the head chef of one of London's hottest new restaurants, Whistledown and Colin, well, he's the guy that doesn't like her risotto.

    Summary

    “Now, seriously, what do you need?”

    “Oh right, that.” He chuckled nervously. “I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend.”

    Penelope choked on her wine.

    Colin cringed. “... Maybe I could have built up to that a little bit more.”

    Between coughs she sputtered out, “you think?”

    “Sorry, Pen, my bad.” To his credit, Colin did sound genuinely apologetic. Penelope was having a hard time caring about that fact.

    Several seconds later, she’d finally managed to get herself together, and she looked at him incredulously. “Why on earth do you need me to do that?”

    Thanks to a slip up from Colin, Penelope has to pretend to be his girlfriend for the weekend at a big influencer event, sounds easy enough, right?

    Wrong.
