Tonight I'm releasing the first part to a new original teen fiction called Certain Things Can't Be Helped. If you like slow burn fake dating tropes, make sure to check it out!!
Here's a sneak peak
He pulled me in closer by the small of my back and I felt goosebumps run up my body at his touch. He always made me feel so small in his arms when he hugged me like this. I was confused because there was no one around to pretend for but I decided not to say anything. I can feel him staring down at me so I look up.
"What is it?" I ask, trying not to smile.
Zacharias didn't hide his smile when he answered, which made me blush. "I was just thinking."
I pushed him to say more. His voice sounds different late at night and it's all I want to hear. "About what?"
"About how certain things can't be helped."
"Things like what?"
"Like how much I want to kiss you, Emerson."
