Not like that guys. We’re faking it. For my twin's wedding. We didn’t want to lie to you guys, but you can’t tell anyone else it’s not real.

Haven

Faking it? That’s like the start of any good romance novel, just saying.

Lucas

Scandalous. Mia baby, if you needed a fake boyfriend you should’ve come to me. I’m way more fun than the Wolfman.

Beckett

Or me. Everyone loves a doctor. Especially one as hot as Dr. Foxy.

Axel

Oh Jesus

Swayze

Fuck you both. Back off. She’s mine.

Kim

*Fanning girl GIF* ooohhhh it’s getting hot in here…

Haven

Called it

You dark horse, Monroe. Who’s the hottie all over your socials?? Since when are you getting some sausage? Do we need to print a retraction on Dickonomics? J

Looks like the photos on my Gram are doing their job. Since I had a few older ones of Swayze and me, I’ve been subtly dropping them on my grid to make it look like we’ve been dating a little while but only just made it Gram official.

Scrolling my app, I look at the most recent one, a small smile creeping up my face. He has an arm slung around my neck holding an ice cream cone I’m licking. All of us were hanging out on the pier, and a bird dive-bombed my ice cream. We all found it hilarious—no, really, Haven almost peed her pants—then Swayze walked up behind me, casually offering to share his. He was only standing like that for a minute or so, but Kim is basically the Flash with her phone.

Not gonna lie, there’s a surprising number of photos with just the two of us. So many I don’t even remember posing for half of them, but we do look a liiiittle bit cute together.

Objectively speaking.

Proof of how easy it is to fake a narrative on the internet. For anyone scrolling, this looks as real as it gets. We look like one of those cringey-cute, inseparable couples.

Never mind that it’s just total and utter horseshit.

Dropping my phone, I switch my focus back to the laptop, swallowing a sigh.
