    Infatuation, sure. Lust, absolutely. But true love? Please. That’s strictly fiction, folks.Unfortunately, I haven’t convinced my best friend and business partner of that. The guy’s still a believer in happily-ever-after, despite having met—and lost—“the one” more times than I can count. And that’s pretty damn high, since I’m the numbers guy behind our hot new startup.Tonight, I wish I had my buddy’s technical skillset. If I did, I’d be back at our twentieth-floor office, solving our system crash. Instead, I’m taking his place at yet another pointless speed-dating meetup, so he doesn’t tick off the organizer by bailing. I’m tempted to no-show and get him booted from the group, but he wouldn’t see it as the favor it is.So I’ll go and fake it for a couple hours. Maybe score a hookup. Probably rack up some good stories. One thing I won’t do at tonight’s “Desperates Anonymous” event…meet the woman of my dreams. Because she doesn’t exist. Dating is fun and games. Love is for suckers.* A love-at-first-sight, instalove romance novella *

I just didn’t know that this faceless girl would be the same one I met in such strange circumstances.
This isn’t what I expected. This wasn’t part of the plan.
But it’s lead me to the ultimate win of my life…her.
I had a plan and I executed it. The only problem is it’s working out too well. I expected results, but I didn’t expect this…because I never could have expected she’d be as perfect as she is.
But what if she figures out the truth? Will she still want to be with me? Would she try and leave?
It’s not a chance I’m willing to take, because when I told her she’s mine I meant it…whether she understands what that means or not.She’s mine now. My little girl. There’s no turning back, whether she likes it or not, forever and always.

    After the final rude message she wrote in my yearbook, I decided that we didn't need to see each other anymore.
