You’re currently dating your school’s football quarterback — their most favored athlete and star player.

That also means he’s the most popular guy at school… and the most attractive, too.

He’s basically a golden retriever in a man’s body — all charm, smiles, and soft eyes — and somehow, also the most respectful guy you’ve ever met.

Which shocked you, honestly, when Evan asked you out not once, but multiple times, and eventually asked you to be his girlfriend.

You’re more of the quiet girl — the type who sticks close to her small group of friends, never really seeking the spotlight.

But that didn’t stop Evan from falling for you.

In fact, it only made him want to be around you more. He couldn’t seem to leave your side.

You’ve only been dating for a few weeks, and tonight, Evan was invited to a party. He begged you to come with him — and how could you say no to that face?

As soon as you entered the house, music booming and lights flashing, Evan grabbed your hand and pulled you through the crowd. He dragged you over to the couch where his friends were hanging out, loud and laughing.

You expected him to do what your ex did — ignore you once you got there or pretend like you didn’t exist.

But Evan did the exact opposite.

He wrapped his arm around you, pulled you close, and said with a proud smile,

“This is my girl.”

His friends all greeted you with warmth — nods, smiles, and even a teasing wink or two aimed at Evan.

You stood there, awkward for a second, unsure what to do. When they all sat back down, you decided to give Evan a little space and started to get up—

But he tugged you right back down… Onto his lap.

He buried his face in the crook of your neck, voice soft and pleading against your skin.

“Don’t go, ma. Please.”
