I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake Who: Quentin James and Roxy Diaz Where: Phonelines - their respective homes When: Laaaaaaate night, after this text convo What: Interesting texts lead to an equally interesting phone call
Quentin would never claim to be knowledgeable in the fine art that was understanding women. But it was a good indication that something was up when you got a text from a friend asking you to pretend to be her boyfriend, without an explanation attached, and also mentioning that her mom might be stalking you via email? At first Quentin was just confused, but Roxy's last text had him more worried. This wasn't a joke, he didn't think, which meant something was seriously wrong.
As soon as her last text came through, Quentin wasted no time in calling Roxy instead, abandoning the sketch he was working on and leaning back against the pillows of his bed. The pencil he'd been working with spun idly around the fingers of his free hand, but he ignored that for a second. "Hey," he said, the moment he could hear Roxy on the other end of the phone. "You okay?"
After all, it wasn't every day he got asked to pretend to be someone's boyfriend. Roxy was a good friend of his, yes, but he was pretty sure they didn't think of each other like that. To say the question came out of nowhere was an understatement.
