Not Quite Love

I never planned on falling into anything.
Things were just meant to stay casual, the sort of "no strings attached" thing that works so well for anyone who isn't... me.
There were thousands of reasons precisely why Cole West and I would never work. Not even counting the fact that whatever we were doing would ruin friendships we both claimed to care about.
More than that, I knew that whatever we were was tearing me apart.

But that never stopped me from picking up the phone when he called.
