Pulling out my phone, I text Ollie.
Hunter
I need my boyfriend again
Ollie
Your boyfriend?
I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend
I thought it was a one-time thing
You don’t do boyfriends
Apparently word got around to my mom and she knows I have a boyfriend
So I need you again
Crap
What are we going to do?
Considering we have to be at her house at seven for dinner, I need you to come with me
Are we done after this?
I thought things were going back to normal
Things are always normal
Just playing pretend for a few hours
I don’t know what’s worse
Me trying to fake it in front of my coworkers
Or fake it in front of your mother
My mom will be okay
She knows you
I’ve never met her like this before
Yeah, but you’ve met her
She’s the same crazy old lady she’s always been
Who now happens to be my boyfriend’s mom
Fake boyfriend, Ol
Are you up for this?
I’m cool
Cool, cool,cool, cool, cool
