"9" he says bluntly, like he knew I was gonna ask him that. 9 women have signed it, been with him like i have. I'm number 10. "I don't get it," I say, putting my fork down on the table. "You don't get what?" "Why do you make people sign that thing? I mean, Jack doesn't make his girlfriends sign a confidentiality contract!" my voice raises, and I bite my lip to stop myself. Theres a long, filled silence in the room as he raises his eyebrows at me. "I like being in... control," his words sends a shiver down my body. His stern eyes shoots at mine, and his lips purse as I try to figure what that means. "But.. How? What do you want me to do?" "I want you to give yourself to me... completely." -- - transferred from old account. Written: June 28, 2017 - July 15, 2017

"I need you to be my fake girlfriend". He paused allowing me to process what he just said. I rubbed my eyes trying to see if I was in a dream. Nope real. "If I can make Hazel jealous, then she can get back with me." I swear he was dropped. Like down a flight of stairs. And I'm going to be the one who kicks this asshole down the stairs. Or maybe out the window. "W-what. That makes no type of sense." I stuttered out. I pushed myself off the bed and turned my body to face Hayden. "Yes. She's jealous of you. So if she sees I went to you, then she'll want to get back with me." He looked at me. "Please. Let's pretend that we're dating. Let's pretend that we like each in that kinda of way." I looked down at my feet. I wouldn't have to pretend. Astraea Grey has been bestfriends with Hayden Anderson since birth. Astraea even though she knew it was wrong, likes her bestfriend. Well, like will be an understatment. She was head over heels in love with her bestfriend. But he felt nothing more than a sister-friendship with her. So Astraea kept her mouth zipped and watched from the side lines as he used one girl after another. It wasnt till Hazel came along did he stop his 'player' days and actually fell in love with the red headed girl. Things are perfect in his world, until everything crashes down and the love of his life leaves him. Only wanting Hazel, he turns to his bestfriend Astraea to help him win back the girl he was so dearly in love with. It's an easy and simple task- Fake Date. Will Astraea be able to go along with pretending about something that's been true for her so long and prevent herself from falling farther into a hole she's been stuck in for awhile. Or will this little arrangement make Hayden come to his senses and see who Astraea really is to him-not just a bestfriend or even a sister, but something more.

UNEDITED Best friends. Neighbours. And a spark that can't be ignored... Emyln Walker and Hainsey Stone have been best friends since grade five, but just after their relationship takes a big step, Emyln's parents divorce and she's moving to a different city, leaving Hainsey alone in the beautiful city of Whistler, BC. Five years later, Emyln returns to Whistler to meet her new family of strangers: a mom she hasn't seen in five years, a stepdad, and two stepsiblings. She's not particularly excited about the idea, but a strong tie from her past has enough of a hold to make her stay. The last thing Hainsey needs is Emyln turning up, bringing old memories with her and opening old wounds. But Emyln -- even better looking than Hainsey remembers -- seems determined to rekindle what she left behind; revive their friendship no matter how much Hainsey tries to push her away. Since her departure, he's been facing demons of his own. With a dad that walked out with another woman, and a mom that's a heroin addict, Hainsey has been struggling to keep his head above water for the past five years. Working two jobs, he barely makes enough money to pay the bills, let alone be the one who has to retrieve and pay for the drugs in order to keep his mom happy. Hainsey is playing a dangerous game that he doesn't want Emyln, his childhood best friend -- and sweetheart -- to know about. Forced to work together over the summer, Hainsey can't help but start falling for Emyln, and soon they're in the midst of a passionate romance that neither of them wants to end. But both Hainsey and Emyln know that if they want this relationship to last, they need to confront the past and the present -- both containing events and decisions that they want to stay buried.

"Not screwing as in ongoing. It was a one time... or two time thing," I cringe at how slutty that makes me sound. "I was a little drunk... the second time. Whatever, the details aren't important because it's not going to happen again." "Twice? Honestly Mack, I thought you were better than to fall for his shit. I've watched him churn through women, fuck em and dump em. I know he's my boss but he isn't a good guy! And you work with him too! Scarlett was one thing, but now he's got you both in his bed!" Note to self, don't tell Tristan that neither time was in a bed and we only had sex once. You know what, let's just keep the details to the bare minimum, he can fill in whatever blanks he wants to. **** Mackenzie has been living a life for everyone else, mainly her long term high school boyfriend.
