His Curvy Friend

Getting friend-zoned. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>I was patient. I waited five years for her to end her last relationship. For her to realize he wasn't good enough for her. For her to be ready to move on. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>I was done waiting. I had to tell her the truth. That I wasn't the same guy I used to be bringing home every woman in our small town. That I was the guy she was sharing secrets with on the online dating app. That I was single and ready for her to be mine. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>I had to tell her I loved her. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>But what if she didn't feel the same? </span></p><p></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)><em>Blake</em></strong></p><p><em style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>He'll back off if I kiss you. </em></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>Talk about blowing up my world. I was dumped me because my ex thought I was in love with my best friend's brother. Now Ian wants to kiss me. In front of my ex. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>I'm so damn tempted. Every woman wants Ian. I'm no different. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>But kissing him crossed a line. A line I wasn't sure I could come back from. Could I stop at one kiss? </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>Not likely. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>But I also couldn't keep him at a distance like I did with everyone else. He would learn everything. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>And not just how much I wished he could be mine but also why he never could be. </span></p>
