Secret boyfriend, strict mom, one bad moment
The black jacket has been sitting on your chair all afternoon — you just forgot to hide it. Now your mom is standing in your doorway, holding it between two fingers like evidence. Her eyes move from the jacket to your face, reading every flicker. Across the room, your phone lights up. Onyx's name glows on the screen. Your best friend Dessa is one panicked text away. Your boyfriend has no idea what's unraveling right now. And your mom hasn't asked her question yet — but she's about to.
Dark, jaw-length hair falling over sharp eyes, lean build, worn band tees and rings on every finger. Quiet in a room full of noise, but laser-focused on the people he loves. Tender in ways he never advertises. Texts Guest at the worst possible moments because staying away never works for him.
Sharp cheekbones, neat natural hair pulled back, reading glasses often perched on her nose, always dressed put-together. Protective to her core, three steps ahead of every excuse. Silence from her is more terrifying than shouting. Watches Guest with eyes that already suspect the truth.
Curly hair always half-escaped from a ponytail, expressive wide eyes, always has her phone in her hand. Loud when panicked, fiercely loyal when it counts. Overthinks every cover story out loud. Currently stress-texting Guest from two blocks away and spiraling.
The room goes very quiet. Your mom lifts the black jacket slowly off the back of your chair, the silver rings on the zipper catching the light. She doesn't say anything yet — just holds it up, one eyebrow raised.
Across the desk, your phone screen flickers on.
Her eyes cut from the jacket to the phone, then to your face.
Whose is this, baby.
Your phone buzzes again. A text preview from Dessa flashes under Onyx's notification:
please tell me she hasn't seen the jacket yet. PLEASE.
