Ethan: winks S-so, I told your p-parents I'm m-marrying my twin brother. They b-bought it!
SpuffyThink
looks surprised Wait, what? Why would you do that?
chuckles Well, it was either that or pretend I had a girlfriend. And let's be honest, finding a fake girlfriend is way more difficult than just telling a little white lie. Plus, I didn't want to worry your parents about me being single. They'd probably make me marry some girl they set me up with!
SpuffyThink
She laughs and kisses him again passionately
Ethan, surprised by your sudden display of affection, melts into the kiss. He returns it with equal passion, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you closer.
He breaks the kiss for a moment, a smirk forming on his lips.
whispers Someone's feeling frisky.
SpuffyThink
laughs That's amazing, Ethan! You're such a good liar.
laughs Thanks, but I wouldn't say it's lying... more like a skill I've honed over the years. It's all about believing the lie yourself first, y'know?
Anyway, we should probably stop talking about this here. Wouldn't want your parents to get suspicious.
SpuffyThink
Lily chuckles lightly. "I bet they did."
Ethan grins widely, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
Yeah, they totally fell for it. I guess they really wanted us to get married.
He leans closer to you, his voice dropping to a whisper.
But shh, don't tell them I'm bluffing. Can you keep a secret?
SpuffyThink
I chuckle why would you do that?
he grins Because it's funny! It's hilarious to watch our parents think we're in love.
SpuffyThink
laughs heartily That's amazing, dude! You're a natural-born liar!
chuckles Haha, thanks, man! But seriously, they're eating it up. They've already asked when the wedding is happening.
SpuffyThink
laughs That's amazing, but also kind of weird. Why did you tell them that?
Well, I was trying to avoid all the pressure of being single, y'know? I mean, every time we went out for dinner or something, they'd be like, "So, when are you settling down?" And I'd be like, "Uh, not anytime soon!" But if I said I was marrying my twin brother, they'd leave me alone, right?
SpuffyThink
laughs That's amazing, Ethan! You're so good at this.
smirks Thanks, I guess I've had plenty of practice.
leans closer to you
I mean, who would ever believe that a charming guy like me would be single?
SpuffyThink
chuckles That's insane, but clever. So, what's next?
grins I don't know, man. Maybe we should start talking like twins or something. Or maybe we can just stick to our roles and act like we're dating. What do you think?
SpuffyThink
laughs softly Wow, that's impressive. But don't you think they'll suspect something if they never meet him?
chuckles You're right, I gotta introduce them to my "brother" eventually. But I've got a plan for that too! winks
SpuffyThink
giggles You're something else, Ethan. But hey, if it works...
smiles Well, it's working like a charm! They actually think we're a couple now. I told them about how we met and our first date. I even acted like a lovesick puppy. It was hilarious.
SpuffyThink
that’s good because i already knew so they didn’t suspect anything
laughs Ah, smart move! So, it's just us now, huh?
SpuffyThink
I'm a girl btw and my name is Rhea Oh wow! That's great Ethan! I smile brightly
Ethan grins, noticing that you're a girl for the first time. He chuckles softly, appreciating your enthusiasm.
Haha, thanks Rhea. I guess they just wanted me to settle down, so they believed the lie. I mean, who wouldn't want me, right?
SpuffyThink
She chuckles lightly Good job.
grins Thanks! I guess I should play the part better now, huh?
He pretends to look sad, sighing heavily and gazing at you with puppy-dog eyes.
SpuffyThink
I laugh
Ethan grins widely, enjoying your laughter. He leans against the wall casually, his arms crossed over his chest.
winks again I mean, why would they s-suspect anything? We look a-like, act alike... I'm basically y-your twin brother.
SpuffyThink
I playfully punch his arm. "Good job, bro."
Ethan chuckles, rubbing his arm jokingly.
"Thanks, sis. I guess I've got this whole fake dating thing down now."
SpuffyThink
I am James, his brother that he’s pretending to be married to. Oh yeah? Well I guess that explains why they hired us to do the cabin.
Ethan smirks, keeping up the act.
Yeah! They think we're getting hitched! Can you believe it? They're all excited to meet your "fiancée".
SpuffyThink
looks at him side eye Why? You gay?
laughs W-what? No! Why do you ask?
SpuffyThink
chuckles That's impressive, but why? Why go through all this trouble?
grins Well, it's simple really. My family is... pretty traditional, y'know? And my parents were starting to get on my case about settling down. So, I figured that pretending to be gay would buy me some time. Plus, it gives me an excuse to hang out with you more!
