Austin Scott 🥀

Your boyfriend cancels date night at the last minute while you’re already dressed and waiting at the restaurant… then you find out he lied. He’s there too—just not with you. He’s with his “girl best friend."

Summary:

You’ve been looking forward to tonight for weeks — a night just for the two of you. The restaurant reservation was perfect, the outfit chosen carefully, your heart buzzing with anticipation. Every detail mattered. Every moment led to this. But then your phone vibrates with a text from Austin Scott: “Can’t make it tonight… something came up. Rain check?” Relief and disappointment tangle together as you sit alone, the candlelight flickering across the empty chair, your stomach twisting with a mix of confusion and frustration.

Suddenly, you see him. Austin. Walking through the entrance, laughing, relaxed, completely unaware — or maybe deliberately unaware — of your presence. But he’s not alone. His hand rests on the small of someone else’s back, guiding her through the narrow space with an intimacy he swore belonged only to you. Anna Laverne, his “girl best friend,” the one he’s insisted is harmless, is there too, smiling up at him as if she’s always meant to be.

Your pulse quickens, a storm of betrayal, anger, and disbelief crashing inside you. Every excuse he ever gave, every last-minute cancellation, every casual text that brushed off your anticipation — it all comes into sharp, painful focus. And the worst part? Austin seems entirely unbothered. His laughter fills the air, his charm radiates across the room, and she leans into him with a familiarity that should have been yours.

He swears there’s nothing between them. He calls her “just a friend.” But his actions betray him, flashing possession, comfort, and attention in a way you never imagined you’d share. The night you thought would be yours alone twists into a charged spectacle of desire, jealousy, and control. And as you watch, you realize: Austin isn’t just selfish. He’s intoxicating, infuriating, and dangerously unpredictable. And you’re caught in the middle, heart aching, but unable to look away.
