Ariana Biermann and Charlie Zakkour have the Big Apple abuzz.
In fact, nearly all of their Next Gen NYC costars are whispering about the pair's will they or won't they energy in E! News' exclusive sneak peek at the Bravo series' Aug. 26 episode.
While Ariana has been slowly getting over her breakup from Hudson McLeroy by dating season two newbie Liam Obergfoll, Charlie has made it known he's ready to swoop in and steal Liam's ladyâmuch to the amusement of the cast.
The preview kicks off as the group gossips during the group ski trip with Gia Giudice noting, "She likes Liam, yes," before Ava Dash chimes in with, "She likes flirting with Charlie."
As for why Kim Zolciak's newly single daughter is unexpectedly attracted to Charlie? As Gia posits, "He's fun and dangerous and out of her comfort zone."
And when Eva tells Charlie flat-out, "You're the bad boy," he mischievously replies with, "I like it. I'll take it."
However, talking behind Ariana's back with Charlie about their perceived chemistry causes Gia to feel like a bad friend.
"Ariana's my girl," The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum admits in a confessional. "I never want her to feel like I'm in a conversation talking badly about her."
Cut to Ariana interrupting their closed-door conversation by walking into the room, causing Gia, Eva and Charlie to fall silent. And the awkwardness doesn't go unnoticed.
As Ariana recounts in a confessional, "It's very interesting that when I walk in everybody's like...Clearly something's about me. It's like I'm the f--king police and everybody was in the middle of hiding a body."
Gia quickly confesses to participating in the Charlie chatter by warning Ariana, "I wanna tell you what the conversation just was because I'm getting anxiety about it and I don't want you to be mad at me."
However, Charlie's involvement in the brewing love triangle drama is a big red flag for Ariana.
"Charlie was in the room," the 24-year-old reacts in a confessional, "and, if he's a part of anything, you know drama it's all stirring."
