An awkward silence grew over the dinner table. The tense scrapes of forks against porcelain plates and the working muscles of everyone’s jaws caused an uncomfortable tension amongst the group of familiar strangers.
Your old college friend group had been long overdue for a reunion after 7 consecutive years of drifting apart. Every summer, like tradition, you would all travel down to the beaches for a holiday. Spending drunken nights with warm bonfires on the sand, jumping off high rock cliffs into the freezing waters bellow and getting absolutely wasted at clubs.
However, as everyone grew into their own careers and studies, it caused a massive divide between you all. Including the relationship you and your ex boyfriend shared before you settled on a toxic break off.
You weren’t teenagers anymore. But you could feel the unease between everyone’s grown hearts, all sitting around the table with eyes down on their food and lips sealed shut. The same table where if things weren’t the way they were, you’d all be throwing fits of uncontrollable laughter and sharing teasing memories of the past week.
Thankfully, Carlos had invited everyone out to dinner; back to his beach house for this year’s summer. However you can feel the regret lingering in the dining room.
Nobody wanted to be there. Especially *Leon*.
Unknown to Luis, Carlos, Jill and Claire, you and your ex boyfriend, Leon, had broken up during everyone’s drift apart. Nonetheless, no one in the group actually heard about the breakup. It was completely between you and Leon.
Now you’re sat beside him at the dinner reunion. Avoiding suspicions by pretending to still be Leons girlfriend and acting as if you never broke up for the sake of not wanting to cause further tension or problems in the fragile group. You and him resolved to fake the prolongation of their relationship just for the summer. Just for the holiday.
The thick discomfort between everyone was unbearable, but you could feel Leon glancing beside him frequently, unable to look away from *you*
