there's a reason why everyone says dating from the same friend group is bad. it's actually the worst thing ever. it took both of you two long years of dating to realise that though.

it was inevitable, for you and your ex, Mark to see each other at every other group setting, like right now, as you're seated opposite each other on a couch along with the rest of your group.

both of you knew, although the two of you had been a matter of the past, the feelings lingered.

Mark, from the corner of his eyes watched your every move, just like you did his. Even now, as an overly desperate man tries to hit on you.

"Come on, you can give me a little kiss." the drunk man says, his eyes fixated on everything on your body.
