Sweet Kiss TrapChapter 1

The new guy who moved in across the street was a real heartthrob, sporting an impressive eight-pack.

On the first day, I couldn't help but admire his chiseled physique from afar.

The next day, as I was filling in for Rick, I was surprised to find him up at the lectern.

He had a charming smile and was holding the roll sheet as he glanced at me.

"Well, well, Rick," he said, adjusting his glasses and eyeing my knee-length skirt. "Didn't expect this. Looks like you're quite into crossdress after all."

I never thought I'd find myself in such an embarrassing situation.

No, I was not Rick Perry, and I certainly wasn't into crossdressing.

Rick was my little brother, and I was Lily Perry.

Up until I turned twenty-six, I thought our names had a certain charm.

That was until I met Andrew Wayne—the handsome guy living right across from me, who also happened to be Rick's professor.

Now, sitting in front of a class of over forty students, I felt utterly humiliated.

"You're Rick, right?" Andrew asked, a smug grin plastered on his face that made my blood boil.

Honestly, I wanted to unleash my inner firecracker, to scream at him and storm out in a huff.

But I couldn't. Right now, I wasn't Lily; I was just a temporary stand-in for Rick, who had paid me 500 bucks to cover for him.

Here I was, swallowing my pride for a measly 500 dollars.

"Yes," I replied, forcing the words out through clenched teeth.

My cheeks burned hotter than a summer day, but thankfully, Andrew didn't press me further.

"Alright, take a seat. Don't forget to swing by my office after class," he said, dismissing me with a wave.

I hurried to my desk and shot Rick a WhatsApp message. [Little bro, you're about to flunk.]

Rick replied: [Huh?]

[Get back to school ASAP. The jig is up.]

The first time I had a civil conversation with Rick was in Andrew's office.

He was lounging back, sipping coffee, and finally asked, "So, what's going on here?"

Before Rick could open his mouth, I decided to come clean.

I laid it all out—how Rick had lured me into this mess with cash and how he was skipping class to go on dates with his crush.

"Is that so?" Andrew's smile was as warm as spring sunshine, but it sent shivers down my spine.

"Sir, I know I messed up," Rick said, bowing his head in apology while simultaneously pushing my head down as if to hide me.

I was speechless.
