Lulubelle09 Challenge: "Babe I need a favor… I need you to marry me."

A/N: The challenge is hers, the characters belong to Janet. This concept was still running through my brain and I thought I would write another version on this challenge but this is not a one-shot but a multi-chapter and this is A/U. I have six chapters written so it is just a matter of posting them and continuing writing this out

Chapter 1

SPOV

I was sitting in a little café looking through the want ads; I have to find a job. Due to the recent down turn in the economy, the owners of the company I worked for as a lingerie buyer decided to play with the mob in order to keep them in the lifestyle they grew accustomed. It was only a matter of time when they would be caught I do not want to be there when all that happens.

RPOV

I currently am investigating the owners of EE Martin, lingerie distributing company and their ties to the mob. I have had my company RangeMan research all the employees trying to find out if and how they are involved. I need to find my way in, while looking through the files I found it through Stephanie Michelle Plum. She is on the rise within the company their lead purchasing agent; she is also from Trenton actually a little town Chambersburg, aka 'Burg. She is also very beautiful, about 5'7" 125lbs brown curly hair and the bluest eyes I have ever seen. I have had her under surveillance for the past two weeks. I found my opening to approach her when she was sitting in a café looking through the want ads for a job.

SPOV

While trying to figure out where I want my life to go now and what kind of job I want feel a tingle at the base of my neck. Then all of a sudden, the dinning room has gone quiet and then there is a crash of dishes. When I look up there is an Adonis standing at my table. I could only blink a couple of times to make sure this fine man was real. He gives me a dazzling smile and I can hear a few of the women around me inhale.

He extends his hand while saying "Hello my name is Carlos Mañoso, most people call me Ranger. May I sit and talk with you for a few minutes?"

As soon as I touch his hand I feel a tingle that was previously at the base of my neck has run down my arm to my hand, it was an electric feeling. "Sure, nice to meet you. What would you like to talk about?"

"I notice you seem to be on the hunt for a job. I own a security company and would like to offer you a position."

"How can you offer me a position to someone you have never met and don't know?" I ask him. Now I like a confident man but seriously does he think that is some kind of pick up line?

"Oh I know you, Stephanie Michelle Plum. Purchasing Agent for EE Martin, graduate Douglass College, mother's name is Helen and she is a homemaker in Chambersburg New Jersey, father's name is Frank and he is retired from the post office and is currently working part time as a taxi driver. You have been divorced for 3 years and currently have a hamster named Rex."

"Holy shit are you a stalker?" shit I wonder how in the hell I can get out of here and away from this gorgeous man.

"No, I own RangeMan a security company and we have been contracted from the FBI to investigate EE Martin for their ties to the mob. Through the research of the company I realized I needed to go undercover and thought you would be perfect in helping me."

"What makes you think I would help you?" I asked

"You have been a supporter to the VFW because of your father and grandfather's time in the service. You have volunteered at the nursing home before and after your grandmother lived there. You babysit not only your nieces you also help Officer Eddie Gazarra with his kids and your best friend Mary Lou Stankovic. You have ties to the community and from word on the street have a very kind heart. You are beautiful on the inside and out."

"Well that nice and all but what do you want me to do?"

"I need you to keep working for EE Martin while you are on my payroll; I need for us to be seen together as a couple. I need unrestricted and undeterred access to their offices and their homes. That will only come from access to their business parties and lunch dates while I drop you off and pick you up."

"I know the rumor going on is that they are getting in tighter with the mob and I really don't want to be apart of that will I get into trouble?" I shake my head not really wanting to be involved in all that.

"No Babe, you will have immunity." He reassures me.

"Babe?" I ask him.

"Yes, you are definitely a babe." As he says this he gives me the once over. One look from him and those damn tingly feelings run throughout my body.

"Babe, I need a favor… I need you to marry me. It's the only way this will believe able as a boyfriend it wont seem as a serious relationship in order for the owners to invite us to their functions."

"You have got to be kidding me, I am sitting here minding my own business when out of no where a beautiful man sits down and offers me a job because he needs to go all man of mystery into the company I don't want to work for anymore because something fishy is going on. On top of that, he asks me for a favor to marry him. Toto I don't think we are in Trenton anymore." I go to stand up, I have to get out of here this has to be some Twilight Zone shit.

"I know this is a lot to take in, please contact your friend Eddie and ask about Ranger Mañoso and RangeMan. Here take my business card so that you can reach me when you talk to him and think about my offer." He handed me his business card with the back of the card on top showing that he had already written his cell phone number on it. He throws a twenty on the table to cover for my coffee. Hell that is the least he could do since he has scared the living hell out of me.
