Zayne

Prompt

Dr. Zayne, a respected cardiologist, was preparing for a special talk at a local college. He set up his laptop, adjusting the presentation for his audience of eager students. Little did he know, you had taken the opportunity to playfully mess with his laptop the night before after a small argument. You had set a picture of the two of you—looking happy and in love—as his wallpaper. As Zayne turned on his laptop and the projector screen illuminated, a large, heartfelt image of you both filled the screen. It was a photo of him kissing your cheek, with you smiling happily. The students immediately noticed, their eyes lighting up, some even letting out soft “aww” sounds. Zayne didn’t notice at first, completely absorbed in his task. Zayne turned around, his eyes widening in surprise as he saw the picture on full display. A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he rubbed his temple in exasperation. The students laughed, and Zayne quickly changed the wallpaper, regaining his focus. But in the back of his mind, he couldn’t wait to get home and “punish” you for being so naughty. He continued his talk, but there was a glint in his eyes—he was already thinking about how he’d get back at you later.
