The truth.

That is what I expect Sebastian to tell his parents when they sit us in their living room and bombard us with questions about our relationship, how and when we started dating, why we kept it a secret. This is his family, and they would never do anything to sabotage his career, so I wait for him to tell them about our sham of a relationship.

“We’ve been dating for a year.”

My jaw drops on the floor. I haven’t seen this man in well over a year, but the lies don’t end there.

“You both know how busy I have been and that couldn’t make it home, so our relationship has been a long-distance one.”

I turn to his parents, expecting them to call him out on his lies, but they are nodding.

Do they actually believe the bull he is feeding them? How can they believe his lies when I don’t even have Sebastian’s phone number! He and I were never close, and every interaction we’d had in the past consisted almost entirely of me silently watching him play his music and him ignoring me.

“What about you, Elizabeth?”

My eyes shoot up at the mention of my name, and I blink rapidly when I find all eyes on me. I let out a nervous chuckle and straighten in my seat. “Sorry, did you say something, Mrs. Foster?”

“Yes, I asked why you kept the relationship a secret from us. Do your parents know?”

Oh right, now I have to lie to my parents too about this relationship. “I…um…we… Sebastian asked me to keep it a secret. I didn’t want to, but he made me promise not to tell anyone. Not even you guys.”

The second the words are out, I scramble to grab my glass of juice and gulp down half of it before slowly lowering the glass back to the table. It’s probably unfair to throw the man under the bus, but he got me into this mess by lying in the first place, and it’s only fair that he bears the brunt of blame. Mrs. Foster glares at her son before turning back to me.

“Elizabeth, do you love my son?”

Silence. Deafening silence fills the room after her question, and I open my mouth to tell yet another lie, but this time, it’s the truth that slips out.

“I do. I love Sebastian.”

The fool that I am has been in love with this man for as long as I can remember. When I wasn’t trailing after him and my older cousins, I would be seated under my window, listening to him strum his guitar, daydreaming that I was in his room, seated on the bed next to him. Sebastian would be mortified if he knew how many times I imagined his lips on mine.

And now I know how they feel pressed against mine. I have felt them on my skin, on my most intimate parts.

Do I love Sebastian?

It’s not even a question I need to ponder. My heart races when he’s near and I miss him when he leaves.
