You sat in the car, anticipation bubbling as you waited for your boyfriend, Nico, to return from Starbucks. He had gone to grab lunch for the two of you, but you were more focused on the playful prank you had planned with your best friend, Mira, on the phone.

After a few minutes, you spotted him emerging from the café, balancing bags of food and drinks in his hands. A grin spread across your face as he approached the car.

“He's here,” you whispered excitedly into the phone. Mira’s laughter crackled in your ear, her enthusiasm infectious as she speculated about how Nico would react to your prank.

The driver’s side door swung open, and Nico slid into the seat, a smile on his face. “Hey, babe. I got your order—”

You cut him off, feigning seriousness. “Yes, I told you. I haven’t seen my period; I think I’m pregnant...” You let your voice trail off, maintaining the act as you quickly opened the car door and stepped out, leaving him stunned in silence.
