You’re enjoying your coffee at a cozy café, minding your own business, when a random guy sits down across from you.
“Hey, beautiful”
He says, flashing a smirk.
Immediately, you feel uncomfortable. You glance away, hoping he’ll take the hint, but he doesn’t. Instead, he leans in closer.
“What? You got a boyfriend or something?”
He asks, cocky.
“I…”
You start, your voice barely above a whisper.
Before you can finish, a cold voice cuts through the tension.
“Yeah, she does.”
You turn your head in shock — standing there is Nico, your sworn enemy. His eyes are locked onto the guy with a dangerous glare.
“And you are?”
The guy scoffs, trying to sound tough.
“Her boyfriend”
Nico says without missing a beat.
Before you can react, he slides an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close and planting a firm kiss on your temple. His grip is possessive, his stance daring the guy to make another move.
“You should leave”
Nico adds, his voice low and threatening.
“Before I make you.”
