Using a classified ad to find a nice roommate is not as simple as it seems.
I was beginning to give up.
Up until God answered my prayers and there was a knock at my door.
aside from, oh, improper prayer, God.
I had more than once asked the big guy to locate me an incredibly attractive man to live with—just not as my roommate.
Nevertheless, Declan Tate persuaded me to interview him.
I regrettably declined, even though he was charming and funny. I wouldn't feel comfortable living with a man.
Then Declan sent freshly made cupcakes to my door, and they were every bit as sinfully wonderful as he was.
He was, as it were, persistent.
After a while, I gave up. It wasn't as if I had any other strong contender.
Besides, I had my eye on someone else. Declan had feelings for a different woman. Thus, it was not as though any romantic developments would occur.
We became the closest of friends once he moved in. We even began to advise one another on how to gain the attention of our crushes.
Declan finally came up with the notion that we should act like a couple in order to pique the interest of our potential partners.
Despite my hesitation, I agreed to it. To my complete dismay, his insane scheme succeeded.
My best friend was dating the woman of his dreams, while I was dating the man of my fantasies.
However, there was one issue.
Declan was on my mind all the time.
Those emotions we pretended to feel?
Yes,I had stopped acting fake.
