Counterpoint

<p><strong style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>One playboy. One perfectionist. So many secrets. </strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>I'm considered the biggest playboy in Burlington Vermont. The party boy. The guy who lives in the moment and makes decisions with no thought for the future. But people don't know my past. They don't know why I make the choices I do. Even my best friend doesn't know the truth about me. Actually there are a lot of things he doesn't know...like the fact that I had a one night stand with his brother last year. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Did I mean to hook up with Aaron? Um no. Mistakes were made okay? But unlike most of my mistakes this one has lasting consequences. Aaron works at the law firm where circumstances are forcing me to be their errand boy. Now we see each other every day. Aaron's such a nervous wreck he keeps tripping over the copy machine. I'm surprised he hasn't ended up in traction yet. </span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> </span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>He and I are opposites in almost every way. He's got a GPA higher than Mount Mansfield and I'm barely going to graduate college. He grocery shops with a spreadsheet and I've got YOLO tattooed on my body. But Aaron sees things in me that no one else does and I see things in him he doesn't see in himself. Before I know it we're sharing late-night office picnics evenings out at the bar and long hot afternoons on my boat. I'm having the best summer of my life but there's no way this can end well. My bff will kill me if he ever finds out how thoroughly I've corrupted his brother...</span></p><p><br></p><p><em style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Counterpoint is an opposites-attract forbidden romance featuring an incense-filled law firm meddling friends and angst and humor in (mostly) equal parts.
