Relationships cannot be faked. Yet, pretending it saved me.
Being single, I knew that attending this engagement party would be awkward. Especially facing my high school crush. But I did not anticipate being saved by Josh, my best friend’s brother.
Observing my struggle, he stepped in to pose as my boyfriend. Yes, Josh, a Chef and an Alpha male saved the evening.
As friends, we had a clear understanding. He and I are off-limits. Plus I can’t afford to potentially lose my best friend Tanya. So, pretending to be his girlfriend was easy, no attachments. It was only for the evening anyway. At least, that’s what I thought.
Little did I know that this charade had to be prolonged until after the wedding.
Nothing about this feels fake anymore. I wonder if Josh feels the same.
