Falling For My Roommate

Falling for his roommate gives ex footballer Micah the second chance he deserves and what could be better than loving your best friend?MicahIm a broke ex-football player with a bum leg and PTSD. Last summer I had two choices: the streets or find a cheap room to rent in the city. I chose the second option which landed me with a brand-new problem cos I hadnt banked on my roommate becoming my best friend. Or that before long Id find myself head over heels in love with him. Trouble is even if Sam likes me back I aint fit to be no ones boyfriend. I dont know how. All I do is wade through every precious moment and hope that he doesnt regret the day he ever met me.SamIm a gay book nerd with no business falling in love with hunky athletes. Micah is the dictionary definition of beautiful inside and out he just doesnt know it. And he definitely doesnt know Im ridiculously in love with him. The embarrassing kind of love. Hes all I can think about.But its not as simple as loving someone who doesnt love me back. Micah is damaged goods-at least thats how hed put it. The world has chewed him up and spat him out and he thinks he deserved it. That hes still the battered mess he was a year ago.I want to shake him and shout in his face that hes not. To force the truth on him and make him believe in himself the way I do. But I cant save Micah. One day perhaps hell realise that he already saved himself.
