The only way to have a friend is to be one…especially between the sheets…
When neurotically challenged and unlucky in love Megan Daniels, is propositioned by her life-long friend Ben Romano with a coin toss (heads, they sleep together, tails they don’t) the night before they are about to attend a destination wedding, she drunkenly accepts his challenge. But when Megan wakes up the next morning with a bad hang-over and Ben in her bed, she is more than mortified. It isn’t until the tropical heat begins to ignite emotions Megan never ever believed she could possibly have, that she starts to question if risking their friendship is the answer to finding true love.
Excerpt
“Megan,
I know this is crazy.” He sighs, and grips the steering wheel at exactly at ten
and two, “But, you make me…I just – I have always loved being around you.
That’s why we have been such great friends all these years. You are the only
person in the world that gets me, and it scares me.”
“What
is that supposed to mean?” I ask, looking down in my lap and twiddling with my
shirt.
“It
just means…” Ben pauses. He lets out a deep frustrated breath, “I don’t know
what it means. God Megan this is – I can’t even – I just – You’re just way too
good for me. I honestly don’t deserve any of this.”
The
dead silence filling the interior of the car forces me to look up, and I see he
looks about as nervous as I feel. I don’t know what to say. Me? Too good for
him? That’s what he thinks? Is he out of his mind? Has he seen the body and
face he’s been blessed with?
“No
I’m not.” I whisper.
“Yes
you are!” Ben shouts looking at me with pain clouding his dark eyes. He takes a
deep breath leans over and kisses my cheek, “You are, and don’t you forget it.”
I
hold his gaze letting silence fill the car. His vulnerability is so foreign to
me. I feel like I don’t even recognize him. He is always so confident and well
spoken, nothing close to this. I think now would be a good time to confirm we
were more than just friends sneaking around and having a good time, but I am
scared and worried that if I push too far, I may ruin everything.
