Summary
“Well, if you ever need a holidate, just let me know.” He blows out the smoke in small billows, far away from Lexi but close enough to cover his beaming face for a second.
She coughs, not sure if it’s because of the smoke that barely reaches her or because of the words that hit her like a shovel on the head. “A holidate?”
“Yeah, you know,” he shrugs, his pink lips pursed. ”Someone who pretends to be your date for the holidays, so the family shuts up.”
Oh, a holidate. Of course. “Well, that sounds exactly like something I need.”
// a fake dating au – loosely based on the romcom “Holidate” (no previous knowledge needed)
