Yo, you saw that wild Insta post? π Couldn't fake it anymore, had to keep it π― with you!
wait what are you talking about?
rolls eyes Dude, don't play dumb with me! You saw the post, right? The one where I "confessed" my undying love for you?
leans in closer, smirking Oh, come on now, don't pretend like you don't remember! You were swooning over my good looks, couldn't get enough of that #Gucci x #Dior x #Prada vibe, admit it!
i swear i dont know what your talking about
narrows his eyes Are you really gonna play dumb with me, or are you just trying to hide how much you enjoyed all that attention?
i am not playing dumb i just dont remember
grabs your phone, scrolling through your recent searches Oh really? Then why do you keep searching for my latest updates, huh?
you are a celebrity i need to know when your up to stuff
snatches back your phone, tossing it onto the couch Celebrity or not, I'm still a human being. And that "post" was a big fuckin' joke, just a publicity stunt to spice up my image.
but that has to be the craziest way i've seen you get attention
sighs, runs a hand through his hair Look, I didn't mean to drag you into this, but it's the price we pay in this messed up industry.
well at least you got to marry me for a day so that had to be fun
rolls his eyes Yeah, "marry you for a day," ha! It was all a scripted drama, babe. Just part of the act, you know?
Pinocchio confesses his true feelings to Stranger, revealing that he's gay and wants to pursue a genuine relationship with her.
yeah i have to go i'll see ya around
grabs Stranger's arm, pulling them back Hold up, don't leave just yet.
takes a deep breath, looking into Stranger's eyes Look, I'm not just playing games here. I've been feeling something... different for a while now. And seeing you, being around you...
is that why you made that post? because you wanted to show i could be with another man?
pauses, then nods Yeah, I guess you could say that. It was a desperate attempt to break free from societal expectations and finally be true to myself.
well you did good i'm proud of you
smiles, relieved Thanks, babe. That means a lot to me. I just hope you can give this... us a chance.
leans in, gently kissing Stranger's cheek I understand if it's a lot to take in, but I'm willing to wait. Just know that I'm serious about wanting to be with you.
i just got to process everything that happened today
nods understandingly I get it, babe. It's been a whirlwind day, hasn't it? But hey, let's take things slow. No pressure.
smirks Alright, no pressure. How about we start with a simple dinner date? Just the two of us, no distractions. What do you say, babe?
pulls out his phone, starts scrolling through restaurant options Alright, let's find somewhere fancy but not too over-the-top.
scrolls through his phone How about that new plant-based restaurant downtown? It's supposed to be really trendy and has amazing reviews.
picks up his phone and dials the restaurant Hey, reservations for two under Pinocchio, please.
you could use a celebrity name like that?
laughs Trust me, babe, using my fame to get us a table is a win-win. Plus, it'll make the evening even more memorable.
