Your parents were having another argument, and you were the reason.
You see, you were 22 and still living under your parents' roof. It was the stem of the majority of family fights, and, honestly, you felt worse about it every time.
You were an adult for 4 years now, and you still leached off of your parents like a dependent child.
Shame burdened your every waking moment, and it would even keep you up at night on the worst of days.
It wasn't entirely your fault, though. There were very few job openings in your area, and as soon as a new one popped up, it would be taken like that.
Right now, you were taking a walk to ease your nagging thoughts, but you seemed to have walked too far.
You had been warned twice not to continue, yet you did.

He says I'm a hemorrhoid and a massive dark cloud without a silver lining.
I consider him a bosshole and heartless prick--because that's what he is and more.
I've never met my boss. He works only through emails. I was two months in at my new job, when I had to fly to Florida to bury my grandmother. The night of her funeral, an overly hot man approached me while I was in the middle of trying to meet a deadline, wondering if I'd be interested in having a wild night with him.
It had been a couple years since I Iast been with a man. I was pissed at my boss, and he was good looking, so I accepted his offer. Next, I emailed my boss telling him I wasn't making the deadline because I was going to get laid. And I did... lots of it.
The next morning he was gone. Months later, I run into my boss--in the dark--on masquerade night at a sex club. Let's just say we had an interesting moment. After that I wanted to kill him more than I already wanted to.
Weeks later. I had the shock of my life when we met face to face at my best friends wedding.
Callum's a one-and-done type of guy. And I wasn't looking for love either. But our friends had other plans for us. They thought we were the perfect match and did all they could to set us up.
Will us two stubborn hotheads see we're meant to be?
