Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 92 Complicated

I opened Twitter and realized that the previous headline of Dominic and Nicholas vying for the same girl had dropped to the second spot in terms of popularity.

The number one trending tweet was about the best actor who protected his crush and sincerely hoped that others would not disturb her.

I felt a headache upon reading the tweets. Why did the reporters twist the words that were said?

The tweets overwhelmed me and made me feel like drowning.

Nicholas made it clear that we were only friends and asked them not to disturb me because I was not an actress. However, the tweets insinuated that he was determined to court me. That was why he care for me and did not want me to be disturbed by the press.

Moreover, the pictures on Twitter were purposely chosen to show him gazing at me affectionately.

“How is it? How do you feel after reading the tweets?” Shannon teased me about it.

I threw the tablet onto the couch and said helplessly, “I feel like dying.”

“Liliana, to be honest, I think people are too nosy to pry into your relationship with Nicholas. But as far as I can tell, there seems to be something between you and Dominic.”

Shannon paused for a while and continued, “Were the things he said true? Did you sleep with him? Also, you were obviously with me last night; why did you lie to him?”

Shannon and I were close friends. Since she asked the questions and I did not want to lie to her, I answered calmly, “He’s my ex-boyfriend. We happened to bump into each other again recently.”

Shannon was unexpectedly superb at connecting the dots. After falling silent for ten seconds or so, she suddenly realized something important and yelled, “He was the one who popped your cherry!”

I messaged my throbbing temples and nodded, acquiescing to her speculation.
