I cried on the way home.

It’s just one day into my relationship with Marco and I’m feeling this way. I had assumed that after getting together with him, I was never gonna get sad ever again. I had thought it was gonna be smooth, utterly rosy between us, but it seems that it had been nothing but wistful imaginations.

I angrily wiped my tears away, feeling embarrassed when my eyes caught the eyes of the driver, but I was thankful he remained silent throughout most of the ride. I bit on my bottom lip as I ran my fingers through my hair, then I glanced out the window. When dressing up for the dinner this evening, I had thought that Marco and I would fall into bed together after the dinner with his family, cause I did assume that the dinner was gonna go as smooth as butter. Which was why underneath this dress, I had on a new set of lacy underwear.

But that was clearly going to waste tonight, cause the dinner ended up being a disaster, and Marco and I ended up having a fight, our first fight as a couple since we got back together. I exhaled again while silently reminding myself that fights were something completely normal between couples. People in relationships fight a lot, and the fights end up bringing them closer to each other, so I had nothing to worry about. That was it.

As the uber finally pulled up in front of my apartment, I paid and alighted the car, and as I made my way up the old staircase leading upstairs to my apartment, my mind wandered towards Zane. I wondered what he was doing right now, if he was still at the dinner, or if he had left with his perfect girlfriend. I bet he and his girlfriend didn’t get into a fight like Marco and I, which means they’d undoubtedly end up fucking tonight. A bitter taste ended up settling on my tongue and I ended up exhaling shakily, then I got my doors opened and stepped into my house.

My heart fluttered a little at the memory of Zane defending me tonight, when Marco had remained silent. That made me feel a little hot to think about. He could have just acted oblivious, after all now that we weren’t playing pretend anymore, he has no reason to still defend me, but he still did that anyway. My heartbeat accelerated a little and I couldn’t believe that I was feeling giddy from just thinking about that.

The encounter we both had today had made me feel a lot of things, and I had even promised myself that I wasn’t gonna think about it, but I’ve ended up doing just that cause I was replaying the entire conversation in my head. He has said he didn’t think Marco deserved me, and I had defended Marco cause Marco was cool, and he was… he was good to me, right? So he did deserve me,

It was Zane!

right now and he was calling. My heartbeat was all over the place, and my hands shook as I blinked at the screen, his name was still right there, I hadn’t misread anything. My heart was pounding
