Chapter 15

ABBY

The rest of the week flew by. As Saturday drew closer and closer, the strangest thing happened – instead of being nervous and looking ahead to the dinner with loathing, I was really excited about it.

I should’ve been worried out of my mind. After all, I was lying to my parents, bringing some guy over and being like, “here’s my boyfriend” knowing full well it was all a lie. But more than anything else, I was excited to see Logan. Thursday had been rough. I’d come to class as usual, chatting with Blake and pretending that I didn’t have some nuts scheme in the works with an official member of Blake’s freebie list.

In fact, seeing Logan and not being able to talk to him had been so intense that I’d started having doubts about how much longer I could wait.

So, that night, I decided to text him.

Hey! So, my parents are planning on doing wagyu steak for dinner. I think some potatoes too, not sure how they’re cooking them. Probably some ice cream from a local place for dessert. Not sure about seed oils, but they go all out with cooking so the food’s probably fine. That all sound good?

It was a long text. And more than that, it was unnecessary. It’s not like Logan was a picky eater, or that he might suddenly change his mind if I’d told him that we’d be serving sushi or something.

Really, I just wanted to talk to him.

That all works for me. Oh, and there was something I wanted to ask you – what’re you doing tomorrow night?

My heart skipped a beat at the words. I couldn’t think of any reason why he was asking.

You should know better than anyone what a med school student’s going to say if you ask her what she’s doing on any given night. I followed this up with a winking face emoji and the book emoji.

True, true. I was asking to see if you’d want to swing by here for dinner.

Yeah?

Thought it might be a good idea to practice having dinner together as a couple. Well, a fake couple. Might make it more believable to your parents.

I prepared to type a response, one about how it wasn’t a good idea and how I really needed to study. Being around him alone seemed…dangerous.

At the same time, it wasn’t the worst idea in the world. The more time we spent around each other, the easier of a sell this fake relationship would be. Not to mention the little detail that I really, really wanted to see him again.

Fuck it.

Sure! What time?

Seven work? Won’t be a big thing. We can order takeout and go over the game plan.

Seven works. See you then. I almost, almost added a kissing face emoji at the end. And the weirdest part was that I almost did it without even thinking about it. It felt natural to act that way with him.

Thankfully, I caught myself. He replied with an A-OK emoji and that was that.
