00:00I lied about what I looked like, met her online, six months, in real life, CEO, cold, untouchable, barely looked
00:08at people when she talked to them, online, different girl, completely called me baby, called me hers, she once said,
00:14you could ruin my life, and I'd thank you for it, she never saw my face, never saw my body,
00:21because if she had, she wouldn't have said any of it, she got obsessed, talked about meeting up, yeah, no,
00:27I dumped her, blocked her everywhere, done spring break, crashed at my best friend Mark's place, walked in and ran
00:33straight into his older sister, calm, gorgeous, ice cold face, and somehow, I knew that face,
00:41down boy, my sister hates guys who throw themselves at her, and ever since she got ghosted by some online
00:47fling, worst mood of her life, I swallowed hard, Mark, your sister's name isn't Sylvia Kingsley, is it, what?
01:00No freaking way, how do you know that?
01:02Well, that was it, I was done, I dated this girl online, ghosted her, now I was in her house,
01:08her actual house, seriously, what are the odds? Before I could say anything,
01:12actually makes sense, we're basically the same person, I probably said her name at some point, I just stood there,
01:18frozen, Sylvia Kingsley, same house as me, right now, my heart wouldn't shut up,
01:22I kept thinking about an hour ago, Mark brought me home, Sylvia came down the stairs in a robe, loosely
01:28tied, collar open, looked like she just rolled out of bed, didn't care, owned the place anyway,
01:33I stared, something about her, I couldn't place it, but Sylvia just gave me a nod, her eyes went right
01:38past me like I wasn't there, just her little brother's college friend, no way, this girl, my clingy filthy ex
01:43from social media, not a chance,
01:45online Sylvia was a whole different species, every night without fail, the pet names, the possessiveness, the way she talked
01:51like I already belonged to her,
01:53half the stuff she said kept me up till 2am, face burning, kicking my feet, and me, I never showed
01:58her a real photo, sent her some handsome rich guy I found on social media, told her that was me,
02:03if she'd seen the real me, size 18, double chin, all of it, she wouldn't have said a single word,
02:08So, how many boyfriends has your sister had?
02:11Just one, online, she was really into him, then he dumped her out of nowhere, cold as hell, she's been
02:15the worst ever, snapping at everyone, if she's rude to you, don't take it personal, she's like that with everyone
02:22right now.
02:25Next morning, Mrs. Kingsley called us down for breakfast, Sylvia sat across from me, I couldn't stop glancing at her,
02:32then she looked up, our eyes met, she raised an eyebrow, kind of surprised, my heart jumped,
02:37I looked away, fast, but I could still feel her watching me, stay as long as you want, sweetheart, make
02:42yourself at home, thank you, Mrs. Kingsley, I smiled and told myself to chill, so what if we're under the
02:47same roof?
02:48There's no way she figures out I'm the guy who ghosted her, no way, she's never seen my face, never
02:54seen my body, the guy she thinks she loved was a social media photo and a voice on the phone,
02:59not me, definitely not this,
03:01The conversation shifted to Sylvia, I listened, picked up pieces, apparently her mum set her up with someone recently, but
03:07when she asked how it was going, Sylvia couldn't have cared less,
03:10Mom, I told you, not interested, met him twice, can't even remember his face, you reject every boy I bring,
03:15I swear, I don't know when you'll snap out of it, you're 26, Sylvia, no boyfriend, sometimes I honestly wonder
03:19if you even like men,
03:21Mom, her orientation is fine, promise, she's just romantically cursed, the guy she wants likes to play games, that's all,
03:26I wanted to disappear into my plate, didn't dare breathe, but of course the universe wasn't done with me,
03:31Jay Whitfield, I flinched, almost dropped my fork, just my name, nothing special, but hearing it from her mouth chills
03:36down my spine, instant,
03:38Before I could think, her eyes were already on me, reading me, something I couldn't figure out behind them,
03:42You look guilty, did you do something you shouldn't have?
03:46My brain shorted out, I had nothing, thank god Mrs. Kingsley stepped in,
03:50Leave him alone, Jay's our guest, be nice,
03:52Wow, sis, I said Jay's name once and you memorised,
03:54Everyone laughed, I kept my head down, didn't say a word,
03:58Didn't notice Sylvia narrowing her eyes at me from across the table,
04:01Mark had a fever the past couple days,
04:04After breakfast, he took some meds and went back to bed,
04:07I did some homework, went downstairs for water, saw Mrs. Kingsley grabbing her keys,
04:11Where are you going?
04:12That daughter of mine rushed out this morning and forgot her documents,
04:16Now I have to drive all the way to her office, she's never this careless,
04:21I don't know what's gotten into her,
04:23I can take them, you should rest,
04:26Oh no sweetie, I couldn't ask you to do that,
04:28Really, it's fine, I've got nothing else going on,
04:31Mrs. Kingsley had been so kind, letting me stay,
04:34This was the least I could do, she couldn't argue with me,
04:36Eventually, he texted me the address,
04:38In the taxi, I pulled out my phone, searched her name,
04:41Same story everywhere, ruthless, sharp, decisive,
04:45Couldn't picture a girl like that on social media,
04:47Back then I was a freshman, parents just got divorced,
04:50Life sucked, every night on social media, anything to not be alone,
04:54That's where I met her, felt like a relationship kind of,
04:57Even if we'd never met, made me feel, something, good enough,
05:00But I was careful, lied about my age, told her I was a senior,
05:03Never gave her my real name, never sent a real photo,
05:06Never took her video calls, just my voice, 30 minutes a night,
05:10That was it, Sylvia, she gave me everything,
05:13Venmo'd me money constantly, random amounts,
05:16Get yourself something nice, you haven't eaten, order food,
05:20The numbers were insane, I sent it all back,
05:22Just wanted someone to talk to at night,
05:24Wasn't gonna marry the grill, her money, not my problem,
05:27Then she got clingy, one day, she said she wanted to meet,
05:31I had two weeks till finals, meet in person?
05:33Yeah, no, I thought about it forever, then I typed it out,
05:37No point meeting up, I'm kind of over this, let's end it,
05:40Hit send, blocked her on social media, unfriended her everywhere,
05:43Deleted every message, figured Sylvia would have moved on by now,
05:46But from the way Mark talked about her, she hadn't, not even close.
05:50First time at Sylvia's office, receptionist walked me up to the top floor,
05:54Apparently she owned the whole building, must be nice being rich,
05:58Elevator dinged, doors opened,
06:00The second my eyes landed on her, I froze,
06:03Sun behind her, sharp jaw, something dangerous about her,
06:06So this was her at work, something squeezed in my chest,
06:09She'd just come out of a meeting, board members walking behind her,
06:13Every single one older than her, by a decade,
06:16None of them could touch her, looked like she was born to run the room,
06:19Hallway went dead quiet,
06:21Miss Kingsley, and this is...
06:22Her eyes wouldn't leave me, her eyes landed on me, she paused,
06:25Then she stepped in front of me, just slightly, like it was nothing,
06:28A friend,
06:29Like she was hiding me, not her brother's classmate,
06:32Not the guy staying at her house, a friend,
06:35Miss Kingsley, this young man says he's here to drop off your documents,
06:38Got it, take him to my office,
06:40She hit the elevator button, seemed like she had somewhere else to be,
06:43I thought about it for a second, handed the documents to the receptionist,
06:47These are delivered, I'll get going, don't want to be in the way,
06:50The second I turned around, something stopped me, Sylvia's hand on my arm,
06:55Did I say, you could leave?
07:00I stopped, she was so close I could smell her,
07:02Something clean, cold, like pine in winter, forgot how to move,
07:06Where her fingers touched my arm, buzzing, like a live wire, she breathed out,
07:10Wait for me, I have something to tell you,
07:12I had no idea what Sylvia wanted to say,
07:14As far as she knew, our only connection was her brother,
07:16Whatever this was, it was freaking me out,
07:18By the time her assistant swapped my coffee for head the third time,
07:21I was losing it, then the door opened,
07:23Sylvia walked in, saw me on the couch,
07:25Her face softened just a little,
07:26I stood up fast, nervous, something flickered in her eyes,
07:29Gone before I could catch it,
07:30Mrs. Kingsley?
07:31Sit down, you're not my employee, don't call me that,
07:34So why did you want me to stay?
07:36Do you have your phone?
07:37Let's follow each other, I'll mobile page you for the ride,
07:40No, really, it's fine, it was nothing,
07:41Plus I've been staying at your house for free,
07:42That's different, I don't like owing people,
07:44I was about to say no again,
07:46Then a thought hit me,
07:47Why was she pushing this so hard?
07:48As her brother's friend, she didn't need my socials,
07:51Unless she suspected something,
07:52Panic almost showed on my face,
07:53This woman was unreal, there was zero clues,
07:56How was she already suspicious?
07:57When I pulled up my profile, I caught something,
07:58Her hand was shaking, just a little,
08:01Like she was waiting for something,
08:02She stared at my screen for a long time,
08:05Then something in her deflated,
08:06Like the air got knocked out of her,
08:08Reason I could add her so calmly was simple,
08:10I stopped using my old account after freshman year,
08:12My current profile looked nothing like the old one,
08:14I breathed out quiet,
08:15Sylvia had no way to connect the two,
08:17But I noticed something,
08:18Her profile picture,
08:19Still the one I picked for her back then,
08:20After she stared at my screen for a long time,
08:22She never changed it,
08:23Didn't know what to feel,
08:25The car pulled up to the house,
08:26Sylvia hadn't been home in two days,
08:28She had other places,
08:29Normal for her,
08:30Not having to face her at home,
08:31Relief,
08:32Mark recovered,
08:33Full of energy,
08:34Impossible to keep indoors,
08:36Jay, it's Tyler's birthday tonight,
08:37Whole crew's going,
08:38Tila,
08:39A girl from high school,
08:40Same college now,
08:42Figured going out might clear my head,
08:44Said yes,
08:44Mark was already texting on the way out,
08:47My sister wants to know what I'm doing tonight,
08:49Nosey,
08:50He typed back,
08:51Didn't think twice,
08:52Should have thought twice,
08:53By the time we got downtown,
08:54It was dark,
08:55Tyla's group was outside the restaurant,
08:57Talking,
08:58Laughing,
08:59When Tyla saw me,
09:00She waved,
09:01Jay,
09:01I told you guys not to bring gifts,
09:03I smiled,
09:04Handed her the watch I picked out,
09:06She took it,
09:07Grinned,
09:08Always keeping things even,
09:09Huh?
09:10Halfway through dinner,
09:11The table got loud,
09:12Someone brought up dating apps,
09:14Everyone had a story,
09:16Drew was across the table,
09:17On his second glass of wine,
09:19Then he turned to me,
09:20Smiling,
09:20Jay,
09:21You've been so quiet,
09:22Are you seeing anyone?
09:23The table quieted a little,
09:25Set my glass down,
09:26Not really,
09:27Oh honey,
09:28Still,
09:29He glanced around the table,
09:31Making sure everyone was listening,
09:33You know,
09:33I keep telling my little brother,
09:34Girls don't care about personality,
09:36They see you first,
09:37And if the packaging isn't right,
09:39They don't even open the box,
09:41The table went dead quiet,
09:43Drew put a hand on my arm,
09:45Squeezed,
09:45Fake concern,
09:47I'm just saying,
09:48Don't wait around honey,
09:49Nobody's coming to save you,
09:51Silence,
09:52Then the restaurant door opened,
09:56Sorry I'm late baby,
09:57Baby,
09:58She'd never called me that in real life,
09:59Only online,
10:00The whole table froze,
10:01Something in me unclenched,
10:03Drew's hand was still on my arm,
10:04Sylvie looked down at it,
10:05Just once,
10:06He yanked it back like he'd been burned,
10:08Mark was silently losing it in his seat,
10:10She leaned in,
10:11Voice low,
10:11Loud enough for the table to catch,
10:13You should have told me you had plans,
10:15I would have come sooner,
10:16She straightened,
10:17Looked at Tyler,
10:18Happy birthday,
10:18Her hand slipped to my arm,
10:20Mark finally cracked,
10:22Cool,
10:22Cool,
10:23Cool,
10:24Don't mind me,
10:25Just your brother,
10:26Sylvia didn't turn around,
10:28Stay,
10:28Have fun,
10:29Fine,
10:30Free cake,
10:31I'll live,
10:32She was already walking me toward the door,
10:35Right past Drew,
10:36I didn't look at him,
10:37Didn't need to,
10:38Her hand on my arm said everything,
10:40The SUV pulled away from the restaurant,
10:42I sat in the passenger seat,
10:44Hands in my lap,
10:45Not moving,
10:46Sylvia didn't say anything at first,
10:47Just drove,
10:48City lights on her face,
10:49Buckle up baby,
10:50My hands wouldn't cooperate,
10:52She watched me fumble for a second,
10:54Then leaned over,
10:55Reached across me,
10:55Buckled it herself,
10:56Slowly,
10:57I stopped breathing,
10:58She didn't sit back right away,
10:59Face close to mine,
11:00Voice quiet,
11:01You've been jumpy all night,
11:02Have I?
11:03Hmm,
11:04She sat back,
11:05Eyes on the road again,
11:06Silent,
11:06I stared out the window,
11:07Tried to look normal,
11:08Tried not to think about it,
11:10The way she'd called me baby in front of everyone,
11:12The way she only ever called me that online,
11:14Then she spoke,
11:16Casually,
11:16You know what's weird?
11:18What?
11:19I keep thinking about a guy I used to talk to,
11:22He could never sleep before 2am,
11:23Every night,
11:25Sounds annoying,
11:26Sounds familiar,
11:27Not really,
11:28I sleep early,
11:29Right,
11:30Must be someone else I'm thinking of,
11:31She didn't look at me,
11:32But I felt her watching,
11:33The way you feel someone watching in the dark,
11:35The rest of the drive was quiet,
11:36When we pulled into the driveway,
11:38She cut the engine,
11:39Didn't get out,
11:39Just sat there,
11:40Hands on the wheel,
11:41Then she turned to me,
11:42Get some sleep Jay,
11:44Try to,
11:44If you can,
11:46She got out,
11:46Walked around to open my door,
11:48I sat there,
11:49Frozen,
11:50Because try to wasn't a suggestion,
11:51It was a challenge,
11:52I didn't sleep,
11:542am,
11:543am,
11:554am,
11:56Sylvia knew,
11:57Of course she knew,
11:59By morning,
12:00Mark was banging on my door,
12:02Get up,
12:02Event tonight,
12:03We need suits,
12:03Downstairs,
12:04Sylvia was already dressed,
12:05Keys in hand,
12:06I'm driving,
12:07Mark blink,
12:07You shopping?
12:09I have somewhere to be after,
12:10Sure she did,
12:12Sylvia dropped us at some boutique downtown,
12:14Meeting,
12:14Back in an hour,
12:16Mark pulled me inside,
12:17The salesman was already walking over,
12:19Blonde,
12:20Perfect blowout,
12:21Perfect smile,
12:22He eyes went to Mark first,
12:23Warm,
12:24Mr Kingsley,
12:25Always lovely to see you,
12:27Then his eyes found me,
12:28The smile didn't change,
12:29But something behind it did,
12:31And your,
12:31Friend?
12:32Yeah,
12:33He's shopping too,
12:34Of course,
12:35The salesman's eyes did that thing,
12:37The up and down,
12:38The math,
12:39Well,
12:40Let me know if you need help,
12:41He turned back to Mark,
12:43The new collection is over here,
12:45Though,
12:45Very selective sizing though,
12:47Just so you know,
12:48It's fine,
12:49I'll just look around,
12:50I wandered to the back,
12:52Every rack,
12:52Same story,
12:53Size 0,
12:54Size 2,
12:54Size 4,
12:55Nothing past a 6,
12:56I always know before I walk in,
12:58But I kept walking,
12:59Kept pretending to browse,
13:00Because leaving looked worse than staying,
13:03The salesman was watching me,
13:04Not helping,
13:05Just watching,
13:06Then he drifted over,
13:08His voice dripping with false sweetness,
13:09Buddy,
13:10I don't want you to waste your time,
13:12These really aren't designed with everybody in mind,
13:15There's a lovely store two blocks down,
13:17Torrid,
13:18Very cute,
13:19Really flattering for guys like you,
13:21Guys like me,
13:22You know what I mean,
13:22Right,
13:23Thanks,
13:23Turn to leave,
13:24I made it three steps,
13:25Then the door chimed,
13:26Sylvia,
13:27She walked in,
13:28Scanning the room,
13:29Dot saw me heading for the door,
13:30Saw the salesman,
13:31Still smiling,
13:32Dot saw Mark two acts away,
13:34Jaw clenched,
13:35Read the room in one second,
13:36She walked straight to me,
13:38Hand on my arm,
13:39Where are you going?
13:40I was just,
13:40Did you find something you liked?
13:42No, I,
13:42Why not?
13:43Oh, Mrs. Kingsley,
13:44We were just discussing that our collection isn't quite the right fit for your,
13:48For my what?
13:50Not a question,
13:53She faltered,
13:54For your companion,
13:56The sizing is a bit,
13:57Get me the manager,
13:58I,
13:59Excuse me?
13:59The manager,
14:00Now,
14:02His smile disappeared,
14:03He walked to the back,
14:04Fast,
14:05Sylvia turned to me,
14:06Different voice,
14:07Soft,
14:09Pick something,
14:10Sylvia,
14:11I don't,
14:11Anything you want,
14:12Or everything,
14:13I don't care,
14:15Miss Kingsley,
14:16Is there a problem?
14:17Yeah,
14:17Your staff just told my boyfriend to shop somewhere else,
14:20Mark made a noise,
14:21Something between a gasp and a laugh,
14:23I opened my mouth to correct her,
14:24Then closed it,
14:25Because looking at her face,
14:26She wasn't asking permission,
14:28The manager went white,
14:29Mrs. I'm so sorry,
14:31I don't care,
14:32She pulled out her card,
14:33Slid it across the counter,
14:35I'll take the store,
14:38Miss?
14:39Get him whatever fits,
14:41Whatever he wants,
14:42Alternations,
14:42Custom,
14:43New patterns,
14:44Miss Kingsley,
14:45That's,
14:45Every piece in the store,
14:46Remade in his size,
14:47Starting today,
14:49Holy shit,
14:51And his,
14:51Sylvia finally looked at the salesman,
14:53Just once,
14:54Grab your things,
14:55Now,
14:57Outside on the sidewalk,
14:59Mark was staring at his sister,
15:00Like he'd never seen her before,
15:02Did you just buy out the entire store for Jay?
15:03Yes,
15:04And made them remake everything in his size?
15:07Yes,
15:08And called him your boyfriend?
15:09Yes,
15:11Jay,
15:11What is happening?
15:12I didn't answer,
15:14Couldn't,
15:15Sylvia was opening the car door,
15:17She looked at me over the roof,
15:19Get in,
15:19Baby,
15:20Baby,
15:21Not for the table this time,
15:23Not for anyone,
15:23Just for me,
15:24Got home,
15:25Went straight to my room,
15:26Didn't come down for dinner,
15:28Mark knocked,
15:28Jay,
15:29You good?
15:29Tired,
15:30Your fake girlfriend just bought a store for you,
15:32Not now,
15:33He left,
15:33I sat on the bed,
15:35Lights off,
15:36Phone buzzed,
15:38Sylvia,
15:38Are you eating?
15:39Answer me,
15:40Jay,
15:41I turned it face down,
15:43Downstairs,
15:44Front door,
15:45She was home,
15:46I locked my door,
15:48Waited,
15:49An hour,
15:49Two,
15:50Nothing,
15:52Then knock,
15:52Not loud,
15:53Steady,
15:54Open the door,
15:55I didn't move,
15:56I know you're awake,
15:58Open it,
15:59Or I will,
16:00I got up,
16:01Opened it,
16:02Sylvia,
16:03Suit,
16:03Tie loosened,
16:04Collar undone,
16:05She walked past me,
16:06Into the room,
16:07Sylvia,
16:07What are you,
16:08She shut the door,
16:09Locked it,
16:10Sit,
16:11What?
16:12Sit down,
16:13Jay,
16:14I don't want to meet up,
16:15I'm kind of over this,
16:17Let's end it,
16:19Hi,
16:19Ethan,
16:20I couldn't move,
16:21She stood there,
16:22Waiting,
16:23Sylvia,
16:23Don't,
16:24She put the phone away,
16:26Six months,
16:27I looked for you,
16:28Six months,
16:30I know,
16:30You know,
16:31She laughed,
16:32Not funny,
16:33You know,
16:33She walked closer,
16:35Private investigators,
16:36Three of them,
16:37Nothing,
16:38Sylvia,
16:39Because every single thing you told me,
16:41Was a lie,
16:43The name,
16:44The age,
16:45The photo,
16:46Sylvia,
16:46I can explain,
16:48I opened my mouth,
16:49Nothing came out,
16:51Because what was I going to say,
16:53That I was scared,
16:54That I lied,
16:55Because I didn't think a girl like her,
16:57Would want a guy like me,
16:59That the photo was some Instagram model,
17:01And the real me was this,
17:02She was still waiting,
17:03I didn't think you'd want the real me,
17:05I didn't think you'd want the real me,
17:05That's it,
17:06Jay,
17:06Look at me,
17:07You fell for a voice in a photo,
17:09That's not me,
17:10That was never me,
17:12I know what I fell for,
17:13Sylvia,
17:15Jay,
17:15I fell for the guy who cried at 2 a.m.,
17:17Because his parents were splitting,
17:20I fell for the guy who wouldn't take my money,
17:22No,
17:22I fell for the guy who called me at midnight,
17:23Just to hear me breathe,
17:24That guy,
17:25Not a photo,
17:27But you never saw me,
17:28I'm seeing you now,
17:31Jay,
17:32Look at me,
17:32I looked for you for 6 months,
17:34Not for the guy in that photo,
17:36For the guy on the phone,
17:37That's you,
17:37Jay,
17:39Sylvia,
17:40That's always been you,
17:42So now you know,
17:43What are you going to do?
17:44Don't run this time,
17:47I didn't sleep,
17:48She didn't leave,
17:49Just sat on the floor by my bed,
17:51Back against the wall,
17:52Suit jacket off,
17:54Not looking at me,
17:55Not talking,
17:56Just there,
17:56Sylvia,
17:57Hmm,
17:57Why are you on the floor?
17:59Because if I get in that bed,
18:01I won't leave,
18:03You should sleep,
18:05I'm good Sylvia,
18:06Sleep Jay,
18:07I did,
18:08Eventually,
18:10Woke up at 8,
18:11She was gone,
18:12But there was coffee on the nightstand,
18:13Still warm,
18:14And a note,
18:15Downstairs when you're ready,
18:16I got dressed,
18:17Slowly,
18:17Baggy hoodie,
18:18Jeans,
18:18Fixed my hair,
18:19Went down,
18:19Sylvia was at the kitchen eyeless,
18:20Laptop open,
18:21Coffee in hand,
18:22She looked up,
18:23Smiled,
18:23Morning,
18:24Morning,
18:24Mark walked in behind me,
18:26Saw us,
18:26Oh my god,
18:27You're smiling,
18:28Mark,
18:29You never smile,
18:30At breakfast before 10,
18:31What have you done to my sister,
18:33Get out,
18:33Rude,
18:34Out,
18:34Cool,
18:35Cool,
18:35Cool,
18:36I'm just gonna go be the invisible brother again,
18:38Come here,
18:38I walked over,
18:39She pulled out the stool next to me,
18:41I sat,
18:42She didn't say anything for a second,
18:44Then her hand slid to my thigh,
18:46Rested there,
18:46Sylvia,
18:47Just for a minute,
18:49You okay?
18:50I don't know,
18:51Take your time,
18:52Sylvia,
18:53You really don't care?
18:54About what?
18:55About,
18:56I care about every part of you,
18:57Jay,
18:58I know what you meant,
19:00I don't care that you're not the guy in the photo,
19:02I care that you spent two years thinking you had to be,
19:04We're doing this right this time,
19:06Doing what?
19:06All of it,
19:07She glanced down,
19:09Her whole face changed,
19:10Sylvia,
19:11Sylvia,
19:11What?
19:13Victor's back in town,
19:15Who?
19:15My mother's pick,
19:17The guy she wants me to marry,
19:20Sylvia left,
19:21Didn't say when she'd be back,
19:22Didn't kiss me goodbye,
19:24Just gone,
19:25I sat at the kitchen island,
19:27Coffee going cold,
19:28Mark walked back in,
19:30She gone?
19:30Yeah,
19:31Where?
19:31Victor?
19:33Oh no,
19:34Who is he,
19:35Mark?
19:35Mark pulled up a stool,
19:37Sat down slowly,
19:38Okay,
19:39So Jay,
19:40Victor Ashberth,
19:41Mom's friend's son,
19:42Grew up in the same circles,
19:44And?
19:45And he's been in love with Sylvia since we were 14,
19:47Mom's been trying to set them up for two years,
19:49Sylvia keeps saying no,
19:51So what's the problem?
19:52He just came back from Paris,
19:53Business school,
19:54And he's,
19:55Perfect,
19:55Perfect,
19:56Model perfect,
19:57Six pack,
19:57Wears designer suits,
19:58Speaks four languages,
19:59Dad's worth 500 million,
20:00Cool,
20:01Jay,
20:03No,
20:03It's fine,
20:03It's fine,
20:04Mark,
20:04Jay,
20:04She said no for two years,
20:06She'll say no again,
20:08Yeah,
20:09Jay,
20:09Look at me,
20:10My sister bought a store for you yesterday,
20:12I know,
20:13She called you her boyfriend in front of a stranger,
20:16I know,
20:16She slept on your floor,
20:18Mark,
20:18She is gone for you,
20:20Jay,
20:21I nodded,
20:22Didn't smile,
20:23He sighed,
20:24Squeezed my hand,
20:25But,
20:26But he's Victor,
20:27And I'm,
20:28I didn't finish,
20:30Mark was quiet,
20:32Then he stood up,
20:33You know what,
20:33Get up,
20:35What?
20:35Get up,
20:36We're going out,
20:37Mark,
20:38I don't,
20:38Jay,
20:39Get,
20:40We drove to the boutique,
20:42The one Sylvia bought yesterday,
20:44The manager saw me walk in,
20:45Actually gasped,
20:47Mr. Whitfield,
20:48We've been expecting you,
20:49The team's been working since 6am,
20:51We have first samples ready,
20:53First samples of what?
20:54Your collection,
20:55Miss Kingsley called last night,
20:56Very specific instructions,
20:58Ooh,
20:58This is going to be good,
20:59The manager led us to a private room,
21:01Racks and racks of suits,
21:03All new,
21:03All different,
21:04All in my size,
21:05I stopped in the doorway,
21:07She said,
21:07And I quote,
21:08He's never had a store built for him,
21:10Fix that,
21:11Try something on,
21:12Mark,
21:13Jay,
21:14Try,
21:14Black velvet dinner jacket,
21:16Tailored fit,
21:17I put it on,
21:20Looked in the mirror,
21:21Mark was behind me,
21:22Watching my face,
21:23Jay,
21:23That's what you look like when clothes are made for you,
21:25The bell over the door chimed,
21:26Two people walked in,
21:28The manager's face went pale,
21:29Mark went still,
21:30I turned around,
21:31A tall blackhead man,
21:32Long coat,
21:33And an older woman,
21:34Sylvia's mother,
21:35The blackhead man's eyes swept over me,
21:37Slow,
21:37Amused,
21:38Then he smiled,
21:39Oh,
21:39You must be Jay,
21:40I didn't answer,
21:42I didn't answer,
21:42Victor,
21:43I told you not to,
21:45I saw the car outside,
21:46Thought I'd say hi,
21:47I'm Victor,
21:48Victor held out a hand,
21:49Sylvia and I grew up together,
21:50I didn't take it,
21:51He smiled wider,
21:52That's fine,
21:53I get it,
21:53Miss Kingsley,
21:54Two minutes,
21:55Man to man,
21:55I'm not gonna be rude,
21:56I just wanna be honest,
21:57Okay,
21:59Sylvia is a Kingsley,
22:00She'll run this family,
22:01Marry into it,
22:02Raise children who'll inherit it,
22:04He looked me up and down,
22:05Slow,
22:05You are not built for this life,
22:06Sir,
22:07That is enough,
22:08Mrs Kingsley,
22:09You know I mean no disrespect,
22:10But you know I'm right,
22:12That is enough,
22:13I'm not saying you're not sweet,
22:15You are,
22:16I'm saying she's going to wake up one day,
22:18And see it too,
22:21See what,
22:22That you're a chapter,
22:23Not the book,
22:24The manager at Gartham's,
22:25Doc Mark was shaking,
22:26I stood there,
22:27Held Victor's eyes,
22:28Didn't blink,
22:28Thanks for the honesty,
22:30Then I turned to Mrs Kingsley,
22:32Thank you for breakfast yesterday,
22:34I think I'll head back to the dorms tonight,
22:36Mrs Kingsley's mouth opened,
22:38Nothing came out,
22:39I walked to the fitting room,
22:40Doc Mark followed,
22:42Jay,
22:42I know,
22:43I took off that black velvet dinner jacket,
22:45Put my hoodie back on,
22:47Let's go home,
22:48The next morning,
22:49Sylvia set a garment bag on my bed,
22:51What's this?
22:51Charity gala,
22:52Tonight,
22:54Sylvia,
22:54You're my boyfriend,
22:55You're coming,
22:56I don't do galas,
22:57You don't have to,
22:58Do anything,
23:00Just be there,
23:01She kissed my forehead,
23:02Left,
23:02I opened the bag,
23:04Deep navy velvet,
23:05Custom,
23:06My size,
23:07Of course,
23:08Victor's voice in my head,
23:09Not built for this life,
23:10I got ready anyway,
23:11The car came at seven,
23:12Sylvia met me at the bottom of the stairs,
23:14Jay,
23:15What?
23:17You look,
23:18She didn't finish,
23:19Just took my hand,
23:20The gala was in a hotel ballroom,
23:22Chandeliers,
23:23Champagne,
23:23Money,
23:24Sylvia kept her hand on my back,
23:26Introduced me to everyone,
23:27Jay,
23:28My boyfriend,
23:29Some people smiled,
23:29Some just looked,
23:31Then someone tapped Sylvia on the shoulder,
23:33Just business baby,
23:34Two minutes,
23:35She kissed my temple,
23:36Went,
23:37I stood alone in the crowd,
23:39Waiter offered me champagne,
23:41I took it,
23:41Just to have something to hold,
23:43I looked around,
23:44Every man in the room was lean,
23:46Every man,
23:47Not one exception,
23:49Then I found Sylvia,
23:50Across the room,
23:51Talking to Victor,
23:53Of course he was here,
23:54Same crowd,
23:55Victor was laughing,
23:57Sylvia wasn't,
23:57But he was standing close,
23:59He wore a white tuxedo,
24:01They looked like a magazine cover,
24:02Victor saw me across the crowd,
24:04Smiled,
24:05Waved,
24:05Small,
24:06Just for me,
24:07Then he leaned into Sylvia,
24:08Whispered something,
24:09Sylvia stopped smiling for a second,
24:11Then laughed,
24:12Loud,
24:13Wrong laugh,
24:14I put my champagne down,
24:15Walked to the exit,
24:16Fast,
24:17Didn't say goodbye,
24:18Didn't text her,
24:19Just got in a cab,
24:20Told a driver,
24:21Sylvia's address,
24:22Then changed my mind,
24:23Sorry,
24:24Different address,
24:25I gave him my dorm,
24:26I got there at 10,
24:27Turned off my phone,
24:28Sat on my bed,
24:29Stared at the wall,
24:30Around midnight,
24:31Someone banged on my door,
24:32I didn't move,
24:34Jay,
24:34I know you're in there,
24:35Open the door Jay,
24:36Your phone is off,
24:37Your Caxi history has this address,
24:38Open the door,
24:40I got up,
24:40Walked to the door,
24:42Didn't open it,
24:42Sylvia go home,
24:43Jay,
24:44Open the door,
24:44I said go home,
24:46Her voice was different,
24:47Not angry,
24:47Scared,
24:48What did I do,
24:49Nothing,
24:49Jay,
24:50Sylvia go home,
24:51Tell me what I did,
24:52Nothing,
24:53Then open the door,
24:54Not tonight Jay,
24:56Please,
24:56I stood there for a long time,
24:58Then I heard footsteps walking away,
25:01I slipped down against the door,
25:03Sat on the floor,
25:04And cried,
25:07I woke up on the floor,
25:08Neck stiff,
25:09Face swollen,
25:10Phone still off,
25:12I turned it on,
25:1347 missed calls,
25:1423 texts,
25:16All Sylvia,
25:17Jay,
25:18Please,
25:19Are you home,
25:20You're not at your old apartment,
25:21Where are you,
25:22Jay,
25:23Please answer,
25:23Please,
25:24I put the phone face down,
25:26Sat by the window,
25:27Watched the street,
25:28Waited for something to feel different,
25:30It didn't,
25:30Around noon,
25:31A food delivery notification,
25:33Delivery,
25:34At the front desk,
25:35I went down,
25:35The RA handed me a bag,
25:37Chicken soup,
25:37Note attached,
25:38You always got sick when you didn't sleep,
25:40Eat,
25:41Please,
25:42Sylvia,
25:43The same soup from when I was just a voice,
25:46I brought it upstairs,
25:48Sat on the floor,
25:49Ate it slowly,
25:51Cried the whole time,
25:53A car pulled up outside,
25:55I didn't look,
25:57Come to the window,
25:58Come to the window,
26:00I know you're up there,
26:01Jay,
26:01Come to the window,
26:02I got up,
26:03Walked over,
26:04She was standing on the street,
26:05Just standing there,
26:06Looking up,
26:07Our eyes met,
26:07She didn't smile,
26:08She didn't wave,
26:09She just held up her phone,
26:10A message came through,
26:11I know what he said to me,
26:13I know why you left,
26:14I'm going to tell you what I heard,
26:16And why I laughed,
26:17But not through a door,
26:19Come down,
26:20Or let me up,
26:21Please,
26:22Jay,
26:23I stood at the window,
26:25She was still there,
26:26Dot no coke waiting,
26:27I grabbed my jacket,
26:28Went downstairs,
26:30She saw me through the glass,
26:31Didn't move,
26:32Didn't come to meet me,
26:33Just waited,
26:34I walked out,
26:35Stopped three feet away,
26:38Talk,
26:39He said something cruel about you,
26:41How cruel,
26:42You don't want the words,
26:43I laughed at him,
26:44Not with him,
26:45Because he thought it would work,
26:47You've never laughed like that with me,
26:49Because I can't be casual with you,
26:51You're the only real thing in that room,
26:53You want to know what I said back to him,
26:54What,
26:55I said none of it matters,
26:56I'm going to marry him,
27:00Sylvia,
27:00I mean it,
27:01You barely know me,
27:02I know you better than he ever will,
27:05Tomorrow,
27:05Pack your dorm,
27:06Sylvia,
27:07Move in with me,
27:08Sylvia,
27:08If you say no,
27:09I'll sleep in your hallway,
27:10Every night until you say yes,
27:12I looked at her,
27:13She wasn't bluffing,
27:14You won't have to,
