The Tutor Trap - F4A - Romance - A Meet-Cute Built on a Lie

Okay, so... funny story. I might have, um, lied. A tiny bit. Like, a lot. I said I was a French tutor but the only French I know is... actually no, I don’t know any. But you smiled at me and I panicked and said yes and then somehow we ended up in weekly tutoring sessions where I taught you absolutely nothing except how weird I am. And now I’m standing here with a coffee I don’t drink, a plant I probably killed, and a notebook full of pickup lines I shouldn’t say out loud... but I really, really like your smile. So. Hi?

🧑‍🎤 Speaker Teaser
I made a PowerPoint in my head for this moment. It had bullet points and everything. But you smiled at me and now I’ve forgotten the English word for “confidence”.

🎧 Listener Teaser
You just sat there with that textbook, nodding like I was making sense. You knew. You absolutely knew I was full of it. And you still let me sit beside you.

✧ Just One Question... ✧

Ever fallen so hard for someone that you immediately forgot every language you’ve ever spoken and also how to breathe? No reason. Just wondering how normal that is on a scale from one to “learned a fake subject just to impress them”.
