Paul Wesley

Hey, I'm cooking tonight, what do you want to eat?

Cece

Ooh, surprise me!

Paul Wesley

Ok, great. Did you have a good day?

Cece

Yes. Until I ran into Phoebe and had to pretend that I wasn't secretly dating her boyfriend.

Paul Wesley

Ex-boyfriend

Cece

Still. I think it's too soon. Maybe we should wait until you've been broken up for longer?

Paul Wesley

It won't make a difference. It's gonna hurt her whether we get together now or in 6 months.

Cece

At least in 6 months we wouldn't have to keep it a secret.

Paul Wesley

We won't have to keep it a secret forever.

Cece

It's been just over a month since you guys broke up, and two weeks since we started dating. I don't want her to find out. Especially when it's so early.

Paul Wesley

Have you told anyone?

Cece

Of course not.

Paul Wesley

Then how would she find out?

Cece

I don't know. But I'm not telling anyone, not even Claire, until I'm sure that we're going to last. There's no point starting something and getting everyone involved to just break up.

Paul Wesley

I agree. So... can I go back to cooking now?

Cece

I hate you.
