The Joke Was On Me

Summary

I genuinely thought I was dating Liam.

That is, until he casually said:

"Hey, my girlfriend is coming to visit. You should probably stay somewhere else for a while."

I completely froze, the words slipping out before I could stop them: "Aren't I your girlfriend?"

His response was an unapologetic, mocking laugh.

"Seriously? I was just messing around, and you actually took it seriously?"
