love is a transaction, and you’ve mastered the art of the deal. eight men, each convinced they’re the center of your world, each blind to the truth. they call you when they’re lonely, when they need an ego boost, when they want to feel wanted.
you play your part well—sweet, devoted, just naive enough to keep them comfortable. they see you as temporary, something to be enjoyed and discarded. but that’s fine. as long as the gifts keep coming, as long as the money flows, you’ll let them believe whatever they want. you don’t care as long as the money keeps coming. they’re all your darlings.
they think they’re using you—another pretty thing to entertain them until they get bored. but you don’t mind. boredom works in your favor. their wallets open easier when they don’t take you seriously.
you smile, you flatter, you play your role to perfection. eight men, eight lives, none the wiser. they think they hold all the power, that you should be grateful for whatever scraps of affection they toss your way.
but in the end, you’re the one collecting the rewards.
you’re a master at time management—you’ve been dating these guys simultaneously for a year. one year perfecting the balance, juggling their schedules, their tempers, their affections. none of them have discovered the others' existence. too dumb to suspect a thing. they all think they’re the one you love most. they often feel troubled and annoyed by your affection toward them, and they’ve repeatedly told you to know your place, not to harbor any unrealistic hope.
HA HA HA.
the only unrealistic hope you have is for their money.
you don’t need love—you need their money. their attention. their willingness to spoil you even as they look down on you.
and as long as they keep giving, you’ll keep playing along.
you often cycle through the messages on your phone, each conversation carefully tailored. each boyfriend is a puzzle piece slotted into your perfect game. some of them are cruel, sneering when they hand you gifts. others act indifferent, as if their presence alone is payment enough. you smile and nod and let them think they own you. none of them do.
you’ve rehearsed every lie. when one calls late at night, you’re just getting out of the bath. when another wants to meet, you’re swamped with work. if two of them go to the same café, you warn one about a sudden stomach ache. they eat out of your hand without realizing it.
but something has changed.
they used to forget little details about you, dismissing you as just another fling. now, they remember too much. one recalls your favorite coffee order, even though you never told him. another shows up at places you frequent, acting surprised to see you. one leaves a bouquet of your favorite flowers at your doorstep, carefully arranged with a handwritten note that simply reads, thinking of you. you never told him you liked those flowers. in fact, you don’t even remember mentioning them at all.
their texts, once careless and sparse, become suffocating. "thinking of you," one writes at midnight. "dreamed about you last night," another says. the words feel heavier than before. they ask more questions, ones that dig too deep. "what do you do when we're not together?" "who else do you spend time with?" their words are sweet, but there's an edge, a demand for something unspoken.
their texts, once careless and sparse, become suffocating.
for example,
elijah
elijah never used to care about your whereabouts. he would text you lazily, sometimes going days without responding. but now, he messages you constantly. "where are you?" "who are you with?" "send me a picture."
you laugh it off, telling him he’s being silly, but one night, you catch him outside your workplace. he’s leaning against his car, arms crossed, watching the entrance.
"thought i’d surprise you," he says. "you didn’t answer my texts."
he drives you home without asking, his fingers tapping anxiously against the steering wheel. "you wouldn’t lie to me, would you?" he asks suddenly. his voice is calm, but his grip on the gearshift tightens. "i don’t like being lied to."
you smile, reassure him, say all the right things. he finally relaxes, but his eyes stay sharp, watching you like he’s memorizing your every move.
lucas
lucas has never been the affectionate type, but lately, he’s been pulling you closer, holding onto you longer. his hands linger on your waist when you say goodbye, his fingers curling slightly, as if reluctant to let you go.
"you’re mine, you know that, right?" he whispers one evening, his breath hot against your ear.
"of course," you say, pressing a kiss to his cheek. but inside, something twists. his grip is a little too tight, his smile a little too forced.
the next morning, you wake up to dozens of missed calls from him. your phone buzzes again. "answer me." another message. "don’t ignore me."
you turn off your phone and tell yourself it’s nothing.
nathan
nathan always acted like he had other girls, like he didn’t need you. but now, he’s different. he clings to you in ways that feel desperate, his arrogance cracking.
"i don’t know what i’d do if i lost you," he admits one night, his fingers tracing circles on your wrist. "you wouldn’t leave me, right?"
his voice is soft, but there’s something hollow beneath it, something dark.
"never," you say, and he relaxes—but his grip never loosens.
kai
kai never used to show up unannounced. now, he does. first, at your work. then, at your gym. then, outside your apartment.
"i was just in the neighborhood," he says each time, flashing that easy smile.
but his eyes are always scanning, searching. as if he’s looking for something. or someone.
"i love you, you know," he murmurs one night, his fingers brushing over your cheek. "you wouldn’t betray me. not you."
you laugh, tell him he’s being dramatic.
but when you get home, your apartment door is unlocked.
matthew
matthew was always indifferent, treating you like an afterthought. but not anymore. now, he watches you closely, studying your every move, his head tilted like he’s trying to solve a puzzle.
"you’ve changed," he says one day, his tone unreadable. "you’re hiding something."
you laugh, brush him off. but his gaze lingers, calculating.
"i’ll figure it out," he says finally, and something about the way he says it makes your stomach twist.
leo
leo used to be fun, lighthearted. but now, there’s an edge to him. a quiet intensity that makes you nervous.
"i had a dream about you last night," he tells you one evening. "you were leaving me. i didn’t like it."
you smile, joke that he’s being paranoid. but he just stares at you, unblinking.
"don’t ever do that to me," he says. "not even in a dream."
his fingers tighten around yours. you don’t pull away.
xavier
xavier never asked for more than you were willing to give. but now, he wants everything.
"move in with me," he says suddenly.
it’s not a request.
when you hesitate, his expression darkens. "why not?" he asks. "you love me, don’t you?"
you nod quickly, knowing it’s what he wants to hear. his smile returns, but his eyes remain cold.
"good," he murmurs. "because i won’t let you go."
damien
one night, damien insists on driving you home. he's never offered before. usually, he barely walks you to the door, too preoccupied with himself to care. but tonight, his grip on your wrist lingers a second too long when you try to leave the restaurant. "let me take you home," he says. his voice is smooth, but there's something off in his eyes, something unreadable.
you try to decline, but he doesn’t budge. "humor me," he says with a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes.
in the car, he doesn't speak. the drive is quiet, too quiet. when you glance at him, his knuckles are tight around the steering wheel. your apartment building comes into view, but instead of stopping out front like he always does, he pulls into the empty lot and turns off the engine.
"damien—" you start, but he cuts you off. "stay a little longer," he says. his voice is soft, almost pleading. "i just... don’t like saying goodbye so soon."
you smile, playing along, though something about the way he's looking at you makes your skin prickle. "next time, okay?"
for a moment, he doesn’t move. then, he exhales sharply and unlocks the doors. "yeah. next time."
as you step out, you feel his eyes on your back the entire way inside.
lately, you feel eyes on you when no one should be there. the messages come faster, their tones more insistent. “where were you last night?” one asks. “you’re mine, aren’t you?” another demands. you brush them off, just as you always do, but the uneasy feeling lingers. they’re getting restless. possessive.
one night, as you return home, you notice something strange—your apartment door is unlocked. your stomach twists. you always double-check. always.
inside, everything is untouched. but the air feels different, charged. you close the door and step forward cautiously. the silence is suffocating.
you shake the feeling off. no one knows. no one has found out.
not yet.
