the fake dating au I couldn't stop thinking about :)
Toni gets a message from her close friend Fatin inviting her to a trip to Hawaii. Sounds good if there wouldn't be that one problem. She was supposed to bring her long-term girlfriend she had told her friends about. The problem with that was that Toni hadn't dated since her break up almost four years ago and just told her friends she did to shut them up. So there was no way Toni could bring her girlfriend with her, right? Wrong. Toni didn't believe in miracles but when the ad of a fake partner website came up on her Instagram feed, she felt like she had to rethink that opinion. It couldn't be too difficult pretending to be in a relationship with someone you have just met, could it?

In St. Louis, Julius has built a life defined by his own rules. He has a rewarding career, loyal friends, and an unapologetic obsession with the Cincinnati Bengals. As a confident, openly gay black man, he lives his truth authentically. He has everything except the one thing that matters most. Joe Burrow has the fame, the records, and the world watching his every move. But behind the icy stare and the media training, he is suffocating. He has the world at his feet, but nowhere to be real.

As late-night texts turn into shared secrets, the stakes skyrocket. Navigating a relationship across two cities is hard enough, but hiding it from the NFL is a ticking time bomb. When the secret becomes too big to contain, they face the ultimate choice: protect the brand, or risk it all for the truth of what they found in each other.
Let's Pretend
"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.

She smiled sweetly in return, "Now, what could I possibly want from you?" His eyes roamed over her face for a minute before his arm shot out and wrapped around her waist. She let out a surprised gasp as she suddenly found herself pressed up against him.

Faking Love (Complete)
You know the old saying fake it til you make it? Well my best friend took that a little too seriously. Caitlyn came up with a crazy scheme to help me finally get the guy I had been crushing on for three years. Her plan was a little unorthodox to say the least. She decided that her and her boyfriend Colton should stage a break up so I could pretend to date him for a month. He was the quarterback of the football team and the most popular guy in school. She said dating him would make the guys at our school finally stop seeing me as a shy, undateable nerd. She said I would have my pick of any guy after that, including my crush Takashi. It was the most ridiculous plan I had ever heard of. There was no way anyone would actually believe me and Colton were dating. He was the quarterback of the football team. It would have probably been easier to convince the whole school that I was dating the President. The problem was, I knew she was right. It was probably the only way I could get Takashi (my crush) to see me as girlfriend material and I wanted that more than anything in the world. Plus, Caitlyn's crazy schemes usually worked and I was desperate, so I reluctantly agreed to it. The weirdest part of the whole thing was, her boyfriend Colton used to be my best friend before him and her started dating and she gradually took his place as my best friend. That was four years ago and him and I weren't near as close as we used to be. Now he was just my best friend's boyfriend. CONTENT WARNING: Very mature themes & sexual content - 18+ only!

Soulmates by Summer
Andi: When I get assaulted with hot coffee after an already awful day, I don't count on leaving the encounter with a hot new fake boyfriend. Who just happens to be the infamous Silas Livingstone. Hockey star. My big brother's teammate. Incredibly infuriating and annoyingly handsome. However, the bigger shock is that Silas wants to make a deal-if he can get me to fall in love with him by June, then I go out with him for real. Because I'm never one to back down from a challenge, I agree. Besides, there's no way I'm losing this bet. Summer is less than two months away and life isn't a romcom. I mean, it's not as if it's possible to become soulmates by summer... right? Silas- I've got two months to prove to the girl of my dreams that we're meant to be. Though I don't doubt that she'll eventually come around, problem is, I don't know if I can wait that long to call her mine. Andi is the most stubborn, kindhearted, funniest person I've ever met-and she might just deny what I know she feels for me just to win this stupid bet. But I've never been one to back down from a challenge or to give up what I love. Summer is less than 2 months away. 2 months to show Andi just how much I love her, before I could lose her forever. Life may not be one of those romcoms she loves, but I do believe that there are soulmates-and I've finally found mine. There's no way I'm letting her go come summer.
Truth or Dare
I shuffled closer to Cam and whispered in his ear "This sucks. Remind me why we're here again." He chuckled and put his arm around my shoulders, "Because," he smirked, "Alisha's here. And she's super hot. Might try and fuck her tonight." Fuck her? FUCK HER? EW. OH MY GOD. God I love this man to death, the moon and back and whatever cheesy shit people say in movies - but, oh my days! That is so disgusting. He never used to be like this. And those girls just follow him like rats while he's the piper. "Perv." I muttered under my breath and shoved his arm off me. "You nasty, asshole." I said, rolling my eyes and putting my head in my hands. "Cameron, my man" I heard, when I lifted my head up. Guess it's Cam's turn now... I don't even know why we're even here. He always picks dare and they'll probably make him make out with someone, or take six shots or something. "Dare." he said, looking ready for this, like it wasn't completely obvious what they were going to do. I rolled my eyes. The boy looked around the room where everyone was sitting, until his eyes landed on me. "I dare you, to make out with Azalea." ... ||Azalea Davies|| 17. She's your ideal nerd, minus the glasses and braces. Always in the library. Her head stuck in books all the time. Her main focus on studies. ||Cameron Phillips|| 17. He's not popular... yet. Ever since he joined the football team, he's become one of the snotty popular boys. Girls ending up in his bed every other day. This includes fighting. They're best friends. Always there for each other, ready to kill when something happens to the other. When Azalea suffers from issues at home, Cameron's always there to let her sleep over and when he's come back from his occasional fights, she's always there to patch up his wounds. But when they play a game of truth or dare, and someone dares Cameron to make out with Azalea. Will this change things for them?Complete
