"No wait, scroll back to that one." Lando laughed. Pointing at Thalia's phone as she was laid against his chest, scrolling through her for you page with him.

Listening to his ask, she had scrolled back up to an edit of herself that she had purposefully skipped, watching the articulately created video with over 5 million likes as it started with a clip of her interview with Jimmy Fallon.

"So, there's a lot of stuff going on out there in the media about you being the most desired bachelorette." Jimmy's voice echoed on her phone speaker as he raised a brow in the clip. "Anything you want to add on to that?" The man questioned.

"Anyone trying to make a move?"

"Plenty." Thalia held in a laugh, smirking to herself knowingly as she glanced at the camera with a wink that transitioned straight into a beautifully made edit of her to the audio of Yummy by Ayesha Erotica.

"I've been meaning to ask you about that." Lando snickered as he tried to watch the edit a second time but she was quick to scroll away and deflect.

"Don't worry about it—" Thalia suppressed a laugh as she mindlessly continued to watch videos.

"Show me who you were talking about...." She could practically feel him smile, making her turn around and quirk a brow with a smirk as if he was crazy. "What?"

"Can I see who has slid into your DMs?" Lando reworded his initial statement. "I want to make fun of them." He laughed.

"Do I have a choice?" Thalia narrowed her eyes.

"No." The boy said through a wide grin as she expected.

Letting out a deep sigh, Thalia lifted herself away from Lando's chest, and plopping her body onto the vacant spot on the couch beside him, she sat up straight before she exited TikTok to open up her Instagram.

Eagerly smiling beside her, he looked over her shoulder, resting his chin on her as she subtly eyed him with an annoyed glint in her eyes, but the idea of revealing the long roster of men and women that have shot their shot to him seemed like a satisfying thought.

"Are you ready?" Thalia glanced at Lando as she hid her screen for a brief second. "Very ready, actually." He looked her in the eyes with a smirk before she lifted her phone back up to hand it over to him.

Leaving the screen on her DM requests from verified accounts, Lando's jaw was quick to drop when he saw the amount of attempted slide ins that loads of guys and girls have tried on Thalia.

"Oh, OH—Wow." His eyebrows lifted in shock, nearly laughing at all the names he was reading.

"Michael B. Jordan?!" Lando gasped, looking up at Thalia in complete disbelief. "And I am still the one you chose?!" He nearly laughed. A smirk still lingering on his lips as she rolled her eyes..

"Oh, shut up." Thalia nudged his side. "That was from like... Last year." She snickered. "He's a little too old for me but, I was pretty flattered." The girl mumbled before she continued to rest her chin on his shoulder and watched him scroll.

"IS THAT—LANCE?" Lando couldn't help but laugh at the next verified username that matched up to the fellow driver on the grid before he set her phone down to cackle into the palms of his hands as she just smiled at his fit of giggles.

Opening the message request just to only view it, she revealed the many amount of times Stroll had responded to her story with heart eyes before he had gotten with his current girlfriend.

"This one's a crazy one, yeah." She deviously chuckled with Lando as she continued to look through the messages, the two beginning to uncontrollably lose it as they stumbled upon a text from him saying, "You're a one of a kind gal."

Giggling in a hushed silence, the couple began to push each other in attempts to catch their breaths, emphasizing each shove as their laugh's got more violent and loud.

"Oh, this is brilliant." Lando snickered. "How come you've never told me about this?!—Oh! He must be pissed since I'm the one you've chosen—" He continued to joke around as Thalia bursted into another fit of laughter.

"You're such an idiot." She tried to calm herself down, handing her phone back over to him so he could do more snooping.

Finally coming to a full stop, Lando continued to scroll through more messages, laughing and quirking brows at every name that kept loading in.

"CENTRAL CEE?" He gasped. Glancing at his girlfriend as she froze in place. Her cheeks heating up at the mention.

"Ohhhh—I was so close to giving him a shot." Thalia covered her mouth and laughed as his expression completely dropped.  "OBVIOUSLY I WOULDN'T NOW, IDIOT." She was quick to defend herself after noticing Lando's mood change.

"You like English men or what?" He quirked a brow as she scoffed.

"Just keep going." She waved him off.

"Well, why didn't you give him a shot?"

"Eager to know, are you?" She furrowed her brows at his sudden interest in the topic as he nodded.

"I do my research on everyone that tries to get at me." Thalia explained. "Me and Calvin both." She continued. "And I think at the time he had this whole other thing going on with another woman... I think? I can't remember."

"So! If there wasn't another woman you would have definitely gone for it?—" Lando was pressing into this more than she expected.

"Yes!" She happily nodded to piss him off, and it whole-heartedly did.

"Right." His tongue poked at the inside of his mouth as she scoffed at him.

"Like you're any better." Thalia laughed, picking at her nails before glancing up at Lando to look into his eyes. "Don't act like I forgot about Magui." She scoffed through a cocky smirk as he gasped.

"Oh, come on!"

"Yeah, got you there, didn't I?" She snatched her phone back from his grip and chuckled.

"It's you that I love though." Lando playfully sighed with a wide smile as she felt herself grimace at his sentence since she's still been trying to adjust to such usage of words.

"I appreciate it." Thalia placed her palm on his cheek before flicking his ear, which he completely ignored as he stared at her; clearly waiting for a certain response with a cocky grin before she rolled her eyes.

"I love you too... I guess."
