Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap I am an idiot why did I do that this is the worst possible thing I could have done why did I do that whywhywhywhywhywhy stupidstupidstupid. And now mom wants to meet my boyfriend because I just HAD to make him sound amazing! This is just absolutely amazing!

These are my thoughts as I walk down the street towards my apartment.

As you can probably tell, things weren't working out too hot for me at the moment.

It's really not my fault. I just got sick and tired of everyone asking who I'm dating these days, and when I'm going to get a boyfriend. This was really the only solution.

And now I have to find myself a boyfriend.

Great.

While having my thoughts jumbled up, I didn't quite pay attention to what was in front of me. Namely, the man that was racing straight for me.

Let me tell ya.

Running smack into another person is probably the worst way to introduce yourself to someone.

Unfortunately, today, that seemed to be my only option.

"Oh my goodness I am sosososo sorry I wasn't watching where I was going and I got right in your way and- dang you're gorgeous."

Did I just say that out loud.

Crap I did.

Now he's looking at me weirdly. Almost as if he's... amused by this?

I'm so distracted by my own uncontrollable mouth, that I almost miss the next thing he says.

"I could say the same to you. I'm Adam."

Dang that was smooth. Two can play at this game. I've been studying pickup lines for a moment just like this.

"I'm James, but you can call me yours"

A grin forms on Adam's face, and I can't help but think it looks quite good on him.

We both seem to realize that we're just standing in the middle of the sidewalk, so I decide to start walking towards my apartment, and Adam follows after.

This is it. I think. This is the perfect guy. Thank you Lady Luck.

As we quickly grew to know each other better, I decided it was time to finally ask him.

This was gonna be a weird conversation.

"Hey, Adam? Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what do ya need?"

Staring at the ground, I felt my cheeks start to heat up, as I realized just what I was about to ask.

"Ok so this is going to sound really weird? And you'll probably say no, I mean we've only known each other for like a week, but I feel like we're close enough that I can ask this."

Am I really about to do this? Am I insane? Probably. Well, too late to back out now.

"Do you maybe want to... pretendtobemyboyfriend?" I quickly spit out in an effort to get out the words before I chicken out.

Adam looks at me with a surprised look on his face, which eventually turns into a look of amusement.

My face is on fire, and I start to panic more and more as I wait for him to answer my question.

"I don't know, Jameson. What would this job entail?" He asks me, with a sly grin on his face.

"Well... um I guess we would just have to um hold hands? And maybe cuddle a bit around my family? B-but we don't have to do it anywhere else! It's just long enough to make my family think I'm not lonely and then we can say we broke up or something."
