Fake it 'til you make it has been the motto I live by since my mother died.

I'm also doing a really bad job at the making it part.

The night we met, I was at my lowest.

But you gave me a reason to feel happy again.

For the first time in over a year, I was optimistic.

You and I? We're the same. Don't form attachments. Follow the rules. Don't dream of a future.

Too bad our hearts wouldn't listen.

And this storm we're going through? The one that threatens to rip us apart?

It doesn't care that I'm falling for you.

Falling for You

"You know the way to my heart," she croons, hand clutching her heart as she looks at me over her shoulder. Face still a bit sleepy from waking up just a half hour ago, hair a mess.


"That’s the point." I wink then kiss her on the cheek from behind. She’s at the stove, frying up bacon and eggs, toast already buttered and waiting on the table.


It’s been a few weeks since the first night we spent together, and it’s done nothing to curb my desire for Chloe. Everything about her was addicting before we had sex but now, now I’m craving her. Need her near me as often as possible. Love that we can spend this time together and not be even remotely sick of each other.


She glances over at me with a twinkle in her eye. "Love it. I’m pretty sure she likes me too. We’re good for each other."
