As soon as I walked up to him, Ryan obediently handed me my phone. “Nathan called. Sorry, he called three times, and I was worried he’d wake you up, so I answered.”

Nathan seemed taken aback by my words. His breathing quickened, and his voice carried a hint of hurt. “Victoria, how can you compare us? We’re in a relationship.”

“If I wanted to, I could be with him the same way I’m with you,” I snapped, not holding back.

Nathan went silent, his breathing getting heavier and more ragged. He sounded almost desperate. “Victoria, are you seriously two- timing me? That’s just wrong.”

I burst out laughing when I heard that. ‘Please, I’m not the only one who’s two–timing here,‘ I thought to myself.
