Vivian had a crush on Luke since as long as she could remember. He was her brother’s best friend and saw her as a younger sister, but she couldn't help herself from falling for him.

She always wondered if he saw her as more than just his friend's kid sister. After all, he was 3 years older than her, finished with school and starting their careers.

She decided to make Luke jealous as a last-ditch attempt, hoping he would eventually see her as a potential partner. She began pretending to date Max, a random guy from her college.

Max was handsome, but that's where his charm ended. He had a reputation of being too aggressive and possessive with his previous girlfriends.

Vivian knew about his past, but she was desperate to get Luke's attention. She was convinced she could handle Max until Luke noticed her.

Gradually, Max started enjoying the charade a bit too much. He started showering her with expensive gifts and showed up unannounced at her apartment.

His insistence on looking like a perfect couple everywhere they went was making Vivian uncomfortable. She reminded him that they were only pretending, but he seemed to ignore her.

On a sunny afternoon, Vivian received a surprise visit from Max. He was acting a bit strange, speaking in a hushed, secretive tone, with a vague air of excitement enveloping him.

He invited her to a super exclusive party claiming that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She hesitated at first, but seeing his insistence, she agreed to go.

As the night of the party approached, Vivian felt a profound sense of dread. She tried to shrug it off and put on a brave face, rationalizing that her fears were just anxieties.

The party turned out to be more opulent than Vivian had expected. Max seemed to be in his element, schmoozing with the rich and famous.

As the night progressed, Max's behavior became troublesome. He was drinking excessively and becoming too touchy and possessive.

Vivian was growing very uncomfortable and started figuring out ways to escape. However, Max, in his drunken frenzy, refused to let her leave.

Things escalated quickly, Max, in a fit of rage, grabbed her arm tightly. She felt genuine fear for the first time.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was Luke, who had also been invited to the party by a mutual friend. He was watching them from afar, his gaze filled with concern.

Luke immediately rushed to her side, pulling Max away. He put an arm around Vivian, making it clear that he wasn't going to leave her with Max.

Max was furious, but Luke was resolute. A tense standoff ensued, but soon Luke managed to get Vivian out of the party, away from Max.

They rode home in silence. It was only when they reached her apartment that Vivian finally broke down. Luke reached over and wrapped her in a comforting embrace.

She confessed everything to Luke. Her crush, her pretense with Max, everything. Luke listened quietly, without interrupting her.

He gently wiped her tears and looked at her. Then, he gently pulled her close, not stopping until she was just a breath away. His soft voice sent butterflies straight to Vivian's stomach when he whispered "God Viv, you don't know how long I've waited to hear that" And then their lips connected.

They spent the night talking, sharing secrets and fears, and in the process, their friendship evolved into something more profound and special.

That night turned out to be a new beginning for Vivian and Luke. It was a wake-up call for Vivian, who learned a valuable lesson about love and relationships.

As for Max, he became a lesson learned. Vivian never saw him again, and she was relieved. Her charade had caused unnecessary complications, and she was glad it was over.
