After Dating My Brother's Friend

Synopsis

It was around eleven at night when I showed up at the hotel because my parents told me to pick up my drunken brother. I had just stepped into the hallway outside the party room when I heard him raising his voice. "Samuel, seriously? I heard you're seeing some girl and treating her like she's the best thing on earth, but you won't even show me a picture?" he asked. I froze on the spot. Samuel was my boyfriend. We'd been dating in secret for a year and a half, and nobody in my family had a clue. Right after that, I heard Samuel's voice. "Show her to you?" He sounded like he was talking about someone he barely knew. "It's just for fun to date her. Why are you acting like it's a big deal?" The second I heard that, it felt like someone dumped a bucket of ice water over me. Even my fingers went numb. Before I could talk myself out of it, I shoved the heavy door open.
