[ Leila calls Trevor to tell him the news. ]

❝Trevor? Hello?❞

❝On the scale of one to ten, you're a nine and I'm the one that you need.❞

❝What?❞

❝There's a side view, a rear view, and what else? Oh, wait, I know! I loview.❞

❝What the hell are you saying, Trevor?❞

❝Are you sitting on an F5 key? 'Cause that ass is refreshing, mami!❞

❝You sound just like Sebastian now. And, yes, my ass is refreshing for his three-inch elephant trunk.❞

❝Leila, there's still time to defenestrate that deal out of the window.❞

❝Defene—what?❞

❝I learned that in Confessions From An Asian Boy on Wattpad. It's another word for throwing someone out of the window.❞

❝Okay . . . ❞

[ Don't mind me, I'm just vacuuming the remnants of the ruined fourth wall now. ]

❝Anyways, I have something to tell you.❞

❝What?❞

❝One of my managers won four Shawn Mendes tickets for tomorrow's concert—❞

❝OH SHIT, ARE YOU LEGIT?❞

❝Trevor, why would I lie?❞

❝I FREAKING TRIED TO CALL IN FOR THE CONTEST BUT THIS GIRL WITH A WEIRD ASS VOICE GOT THE SPOT AND I WAS OUTRAAAAAAAGED!❞

❝That's Manisha and don't tell me you're a fan—❞

      
❝BRO, SHAWN MENDES IS LIFE! HE'S LIKE MY CELEBRITY GAY CRUSH OR SOMETHING.❞

❝Um . . . ❞

❝But don't worry, you're still the queen of my heart. Leila, the ruler of Trevor-lei-ndia!❞

❝What the hell is even Trevorlandia?❞

❝It's a paradise of kinky romance and overused pickup lines built exclusively for the one and only, Leila . . . hrm . . .❞

❝Leila González.❞

[ I can't believe she waited for 36 chapters to tell him her real name. What a disgrace! ]

❝Narrator, please! Not now.❞

❝You're Spanish?❞

❝Duh, and you. . . . Tú eres puro chantaje.❞

❝Pardon?❞

❝Ugh, never mind. By the way, two of my managers and I are going and they want to bring you along.❞

❝YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYY!❞

❝You sound like those ten-year-old fangirls now.❞

❝But I know I can treat you better than he can.❞

❝Okay, bye.❞

❝Wait, baby—❞

[ Leila hangs up on him, grinning to herself. He's such a cutie, you know. Admit it: Trevor is sweet like cotton candy, right? ]

❝Wait, he just called me baby. . . . ❞

[ A faint pink blush appears on her cheeks. ]
