This is the worst idea in the history of the world

Leighton is my best friend My subordinate

My girlfriend

That’s the story we’re selling To our co-workers To our friends To everyone who’s anticipating the breakdown of the year at

It’s a terrible ideaThis ruse is going to fck shit up Losing her is out of the question

Touching her is all kinds of wrong

And right deep in my bones

Then Leighton slides her hands into my hair and presses her berry lips to mine

And all that wrong fades to right

I stop pretending

I forget about the woet I’ll be lost without her

I kiss her back like I’ll never get enough

I won’t

But I can’t risk losing my best friend

Even if she’s the woht finally unlock my heart

Ryan

She cuts through my bullshit with six words “You need to kiss me now”

My body takes over My eyelids flutter closed My fingers dig into her soft hips

I pull her closer Let my lips brush hers

It’s soft Sloeet

Then it’s harder

She tugs at my hair

I pin her to the wall

My head spins

She wants me
