A Forbidden Love With My Father's Best Friend
Don't make me regret
Sebastian
I didn’t think so.
A sudden vibration breaks the moment. Maya’s phone lights up in her lap — “Dad Calling.” Her heart skips.
Sebastian
Of course it is.
Answer it.
Sebastian
Unless you want him to think something’s up.
Maya answers, trying to keep her voice steady.

Hey dear Readers! This is Maya's dad, just you guys to know and buddy is a little hot, huh?
Maya's Dad
Hey, kiddo. You get home yet? The rain’s crazy.
Maya
Not yet. I’m... almost there.
Maya's Dad
Want me to come get you?
Maya
No!
I mean—no, it’s okay. I got a ride.
A pause on the other end.
Maya meets Sebastian’s eyes. He smirks, but says nothing.
Maya
Just... someone I ran into.
Maya's Dad
Alright. Be safe, okay?
Call ends. Silence fills the car again.
Sebastian
Lying to your dad already?
We’re off to a great start.
Maya
Don’t make me regret getting in this car.
The car slows to a stop outside Maya’s house. Rain still taps lightly on the roof. Neither of them moves.
