Word to the wise, never become roommates with a girl you’ve been pining over for the better part of a year.
You’re probably wondering why I would do such a thing? Well, I didn’t.
It was my teammates.
The moment they found out Blakely White was single, they took it upon themselves to play cupid and instruct me on how I should win her over.
Don’t wear a shirt around her.
Make her dinner.
Lightly touch her shoulder when you say goodbye.
I’m so flustered, so overwhelmed, so madly in love with this woman who barely notices me, that I lose control of the situation and make one huge mistake: I offer to be her fake date for a wedding so she can make her ex jealous.
That means, for one whole night I get a free pass with her. I get to hold her, dance with her, kiss her…stare at her from across the room like she’s my entire world because she has been for months now.
But when the night comes to an end, I’m faced with two options: bring her back to my bedroom and show her how I really feel, or let her walk away, succumbing to the fact that I very well might not be her type.

EXCERPT:
“Heck, tonight is going to be rough without you though. Are you staying to watch?” Silas asks as he leans back on the bench.
“No, going to watch from my apartment. I actually asked Blakely to watch with me.”
He slowly turns his head and faces me. Whispering, he asks, “Did you tell Posey this?”
“No, why?”
“He’s going to be so freaking obnoxious that I don’t think I can bear him knowing.”
“What do you mean?” I ask.
“He’s seemed really chill in the Frozen Fellas group, but he’s been bragging up a storm in a separate text about how he’s the best matchmaker to ever walk the planet. Of course, Pacey let him have it last night and said he shouldn’t be celebrating while our center is laid up with a bad ankle. We haven’t heard from him since but if he knows you have a date planned—”
“It’s not a date.”
“Oh, he’ll call it that. Like man, he’s been insufferable. It’s almost as if he’s trying to avoid something in his life so he’s incessantly involving himself in ours.”
“That’s probably the case,” I say just as OC walks into the locker room.
“Oh crap, man, how are you doing?” he asks, coming up to me and taking a seat.
“Good. Slightly in pain, but just got done with treatment.”
“I can’t believe you rolled your ankle fighting over an air mattress.”
“Yeah.” I pull on my hair. “I need to come up with a better story, because it doesn’t sound great.”
“To me it does,” Silas says with a smirk.
“How was everything last night?” OC asks.
“Good.” I glance around the room. “Don’t say this to Posey, because his head might explode, but I shared my bed with Blakely last night. Nothing happened but this morning, she said it was the best night’s sleep she’s had in a while. She said it was probably because she felt comfortable sleeping next to me.”
“Dude.” Silas slaps my chest. “That’s huge.”
“She really said that to you?” OC asks.
“Yeah.” I can’t hide my smile. “It was the first sign I’ve gotten from her where I thought . . . maybe there could be something there.”
“There’s definitely something there and, now that you get to spend all of this time with her, Posey was right, this is the perfect chance to make your move,” Silas says.
“Yeah, I think it is, but I’m going to take it slow. Feel her out and then, maybe when the time is right, I’ll ask her out.”
OC shakes his head. “I swear, if this all works out and you end up marrying this girl, Posey will never, and I mean never let us live it down.” Crap, he’s right. But if I were to end up with Blakely, nothing would overpower the utter happiness I’d feel. I’d have my girl . . . something I still can’t even imagine.
“I think that’s a risk I’m willing to take,” I say.
