I give him my best convincing grin, but he narrows his eyes like he doesn’t believe me. Not that I blame him. All I doiswork.
“A year, huh? So, I guess it’s pretty serious?”
Okay, maybe a year was a bit generous, but I’m committed now.
“Oh, yeah. Very serious. She’s incredible?—”
“What’s her name?” he fires off, and I’m taken aback by the abrupt question.
“Her name? It’s, uh …” I answer with the first name that comes to my head. “Ivy. Her name’s Ivy Lane.”
A slow smile breaks across his face as he pulls out his phone and types something. Instantly, I feel the buzz of a message notification in my pocket.
“Cool. I guess if she’s real, you don’t mind me telling everyone. I mean, since it’s been a year, it kind of feels like it’s time for us to meet her, don’t you think?”
He backs away, wearing a sly grin, and I have to force myself to not throw the phone—which is now blowing up with text messages—right at his cocky face.
“See you at the party this weekend. I can’t wait to meet Ivy,” he singsongs before turning to leave.
“Fuck me,” I sigh as I pull out my phone to assess the damage. It’s worse than I imagined.
Roman
Guess what Leo just told me
Apparently, he’s got a secret girlfriend he’s been hiding… for a YEAR!
Guy
Why are you interrupting me in the middle of the day to tell me this?
Mom
SHUT UP!!!
Are you serious, Roman?
Is this a prank?
Because you know I hate being pranked.
Roman
It’s not a prank, Mom. He just told me about her.
Mom
Oh my goodness. Miracles do come true! I’m going to knit her something.
Leo, what’s her shirt size? How large are her breasts? I want to make sure it’s comfortable.
Luka
Whoa, Mom, you can’t just ask how big her tits are first thing…
Seriously though, how big are they?
Leo
