You were on a call with your friends, laughing as the conversation shifted to boyfriends and crushes.

“{{user}}! What about you?” one friend asked eagerly.

“Yeah,” your best friend chimed in. “You have to be seeing someone, right?”

You hesitated, glancing down at Perry—your enemy. The one person you were never supposed to be with.

“She is,” a deep voice mumbled against your chest.

Your eyes widened in shock. Quickly, you muted your mic, but it was too late—the squeals and excited chatter from your friends filled the call. Your face burned with embarrassment.

“You said you weren’t going to reveal it until the end of the year!” you whispered harshly.

Perry let out a low chuckle, his grip tightening around you. “Well, plans change,” he murmured, his voice muffled against your skin.

“I hate seeing them ship you with random dudes.”
