𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔... ************************************ Allie and Nathan have been bestfriend's their entire lives- they do everything together including, now, college. Nathan is the more experienced one out of the two, often being considered a man whore who only knows how to do casual flings and meaningless hook ups. Allie, on the other hand, is the total opposite and still a virgin. And she hates Nathans protectiveness over her when it comes to men. Allie decides it's time to lose her virginity and just get it over with now that she's a college girl, but she wants her first time to be special with someone she trusts. Who better than her own bestfriend? What happens once that line has been crossed and there's no going back? Can they maintain the friendship and really let it be "Just this once"?

JP Harrison never expected college to be anything more than classes, friends, and figuring out life in New York City - but then there's Ben Taylor. Always smiling, always laughing... always somehow brighter when she's around. The thing is, no one knows why. Not even JP. Ben has carried a quiet darkness for years, and yet, with JP, he seems almost unrecognizable - light, easy, alive. Away from her, the world feels heavier, and his laughter disappears. She can't explain it, and he never will... at least, not yet. There's only one complication: JP's older brother, Jason, is Ben's best friend - and if he knew the way JP affects Ben, it could destroy everything. Now, in a city that never sleeps, JP and Ben are drawn together by moments of joy, laughter, trauma, and unspoken connection - each one a secret they're not ready to reveal.

"Are you happy?" The question comes out of nowhere and throws me off guard... Because 3 months ago, before he attended that party, I would have said yes I'm happy... But right now, I'm not sure. "What do you mean?" "It's a simple question June... Are you happy?" "Y-yes." "Let me rephrase... Are you happily married?" "Why are you asking me all these questions?... I've given you the answers you needed, I don't..." "Shut the fuck up June!... It's a bloody simple question... Are. You. Happy?" he snaps. He's really mad right now and that makes me squirm in my seat. "Are you?" My voice comes out barely above a whisper, but enough for him to hear what I said... He stands and begins pacing, running his hands through his hair frustratedly and messing it up, his jaw locked, and he just continues to pace and that makes me uncomfortable... I stand, and he stops pacing and just stares at me, I try to look as confident as I can, but inside I'm nervous as hell and dying to know what he's thinking. "I'm not..." This is a not so classic love story, filled with clichés, twists and turns, some cliffhangers, mature scenes... Yada Yada Yada... Come on!
