Fake love

At first there were hints. And most importantly, jokes from his friends. You were passing by. His friends laughed, as if remembering the past.

"Come on, bro, you didn't expect her to cling to you like that." "Well, you're a master. The bet paid off." "Bet?" someone asked.

• "Yes, he made a bet that he would make her fall in love in two weeks. And he got the keys to a new car."

You felt sick. You just went to the door. Took your jacket. Tai came in a couple of minutes later. And froze.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

• Home.

• You're at home.

— They don't betray you like that at home.

He tensed. "Explain."

• You bet on me.

• Who told you this?

• It doesn't matter. I heard it.

• You... don't understand,

• You chose me not because you liked me. But because you wanted to win.

• Yeah, it started like that. But then... I thought I could just...

• What? Finish the game and leave? You did it. I'm leaving.

He grabbed your hand, but not tightly. Just held it. You felt Ty tremble.

• Be mad at me, swear, hit me, scream. I deserve it. I will accept everything. But don't leave. Tell me what to do - I will do it. Anything. I can't lose you.

• You lost me when you bet on me.

• I didn't know that you... would stay in me. This love, these feelings... I really fell in love with you later.

You wanted to stay, but you turned away.

• Darling!
