So Much More

I knew I shouldn't have done it. Last month, after I schemed to get my best friend together with her boyfriend, I ended up cuddled on the couch with his brother-platonically, if platonic cuddling is even a thing. (I can attest that it's not. Well, at least it doesn't feel like it.) Not only that, but I agreed to keep doing it and to keep it a secret from everyone. At the time, I had no doubts it was a mistake. He and his girlfriend had broken up only days before, and I'd wanted him for a long time. But I did it anyway. Now here we are five weeks later. My head is on his lap, his fingers are sliding through my hair, and it's all I can do to keep myself from pulling his lips down to mine. I don't, because I know he doesn't want that. How do I know? He told me so when we started this. Plus, if he changed his mind, he'd let me know. The man is not one to hold back.

But then again, neither am I. I'm known for speaking my mind, but in this case I'm not. I'm scared that if I try to take this to another level, he'll shoot me down. And then where will we be? My best friend is probably going to marry his brother. And we work together. It's an impossible situation.

I need to end this, but I can't make myself do it. Somebody help me!

So Much More is a Throwback RomCom set in the late 1980s. It reads like a contemporary romance with all the tropes, low-spice closed-door chemistry, and banter, but the relationship evolves without the use of cell phones or the Internet. Dating was a whole different game in the 80s!
