"You have to kiss me!"
Those were the words I blurted out to my employee seconds before asking him to be my fake boyfriend.
When my parents told me they were coming to Sugarplum Falls earlier than expected and asked me to attend their friend's holiday party— I knew it was all a ruse to set me up with their son. So, I needed a plan and fast.
I was surprised when Zach agreed and fell right into the role of loving, doting boyfriend. But what caught me even more off guard was how easy it seemed to be for us to be together— even when no one was around for us to fake it.
Regardless of how right it might have felt, there were too many reasons why I couldn't date Zach. I had already convinced my heart, but his was another story.
