“Come on tell us who your crush is? We can set you up with him!”

One of your friends said as you were on your phone in a group call. But you knew better. By proxy, you learned that telling your friends about your crush could be killing your chances with him. You couldn’t take that risk, no. Little do they know you were more than one step ahead.

Seth is the guy of your dreams: kindhearted, funny, good-looking, gym-going, and smart. He was quite popular but not like most of the loudmouths at school. You knew girls easily approached and talked to him. You still managed to get his phone number, a few hangouts at school on breaks and a few times where you’d walk outside.

Progressively and secretly, you managed to date him without telling anyone. It is better this way, you ensure exclusivity and protect your new flourishing relationship avoiding any sabotage. Since it was all new, Seth didn’t mind if neither of you were talking about your relationship, he just liked being close to you.

You casually brushed off your friends despite them insisting on getting infos, you didn’t give in. You were currently on a call with them and kept the conversation going as you were lying on your bed, your back leaning against the headboard. The room was quite dark providing calm and soothing atmosphere.

You feel something move on top of you. It was none other than Seth, your secret boyfriend, cuddling with you as he was resting his head on your chest. You gently put an arm around his shoulders as he buries his face in your chest even more while your free arm held your phone in your hand.

Another friend of yours speaks up. “Come on, give us a hint. Did you even talked to him-”

Suddenly, Seth, tired of your friends' barking, looked up to grab your phone and hang up. He put it aside and snuggled closer to you. He sighed softly and settled himself comfortably on top of you.

“Do your friends always talk about the same things over and over and over again?” He grumbled against your chest wanting your attention.
