"So, girlfriend, huh?" He said with a mysterious smile, complemented with a smirk.
I looked at him with a hint of embarrassment. "I… uh, no. I didn't actually want to give that term any legitimacy or anything... I just got confused about what I should say and that came out. Yes."
"Out of the hundred ways you could have introduced yourself, you chose it. That shows something, Scarlet."
"That shows that I speak bullshit when I am in doubt!" I breathed, "And that I need more practice in getting along with people like them."
"But it wasn't entirely bullshit. You are, in fact, my girlfriend."
I sighed. "Forced girlfriend would be a more appropriate term here."
"Not really, sweetheart. I just did what you always wanted. I just made it easier and took the first step."
