…

Two weeks later

Yes, Reya did beat me up, but I convinced her it was a good plan.

Anyways, our relationship was fucking weird, honestly.

I think?

The way Zed would glow from just seeing me walk into the room. The way he’d bring coffee with little smiley faces on the cup, or how he’d text “good morning” and “good night” every single day.

He even made my engagement ring himself.

“Okay, so what are we doing here?” I questioned.

“We’re here to get you your engagement ring. Did you expect not to get one?”

“No, I did, but…” I paused. “But why are we at a workshop?”

“Oh, well your going to tell me your dream ring, and I, as your amazing fiancé, am going to make it for you myself.”

“You can do that!” I yelled.

“Yeah, it’s just a hobby.”

And now… I found myself staring at Zed’s side profile for too long. Noting the way his hands moved as he was carving the ring. Noting how I’d laugh at something dumb he said, then wondered.

“What the hell am I doing?”

…

One slightly cold night, we were at a cabin–just the two of us. We went there to stargaze because I had mentioned it once. All he said when I asked why was “What kind of fiancée would I be if I didn’t take notice of the things you like? It's the bare minimum.”

I rolled my eyes.

“This is a pretty good spot, isn’t it?” He said, handing me a cup of hot coco.

“Yeah, the prettiest ever!”

He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “I’m so lucky to have you.”

My smile froze.

My fingers tightened slightly around the cup. The coco suddenly tasted too warm. Too sweet.

Something in my chest ached.

Jazmin:

KARMA IS A BITCH YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER!!!

Chloe:

If you cry when you “die,” I’m beating you up so bad!!!

…

Meanwhile, Zed sat beside me, trying to warm up my hand because even with a hand warmer they were still cold, completely unaware that I, his fake lover, was having a very real crisis.

“You okay?” He asked with a small smile.

I blinked back to reality, forcing a grin.

“Yeah, just thinking…”

“Don’t think too hard.” He teased, “I like you just the way you are.”

I groaned internally.

I'M GONNA DIE BEFORE I ACTUALLY DO!

I excused myself to the bathroom and opened the group chat with hands that were shaking.
