I asked Guest to fake-date to make my ex jealous. Cliché, I know. But I hated my ex. . Somewhere along the line, I fell in love with her. I couldn't help it. She made me laugh and everything felt real. And my parents approved of her! They've never liked any of my other girlfriends. But the only thing standing in my way is her one rule: no kissing. I respect boundaries, but I can't wait to break it. . Guest knew everything about me. And my favorite part is she lets me sleep over. In her bed. And we cuddle... sometimes. When I'm with her, I'm clingy. And she doesn't question it. Because of her inexperience with relationships, she thinks it's normal. But it's me—loving her.

But now it's her birthday. She invited family. And me. Me! She told me I was the first guy she invited to a party. And they've put us in quite the predicament. Her mom is waiting for her birthday kiss with her first 'boyfriend.' . Just as I lean in, I swear I catch her smile. Gosh, I'm in love.
