SUMMARY:
Two people. One fake relationship.
What could go wrong?
When virgin Shannon Travers gets fed
up with her friends demanding that she find a boyfriend, she enlists the help
of tattooed, mohawk-rocking graphic design student Jett. He’s more than happy
to play along with their Fake Relationship, including the Ten Rules of Fake
Dating that control-freak Shannon comes up with. Even if he likes to violate
them. Repeatedly.
But what happens when Fake Dating
starts to feel… not fake anymore? Will Shannon be willing to let go and embrace
the first thing in her life that’s ever felt REAL?

Excerpt 4 -- FOR REAL
“Sorry,”
he says.
“It’s
okay.” He leans up against a tree and I lean next to him. It’s chilly, and the
air hurts a little bit to breathe, but it’s better than being inside.
“It’s
times like these when I wish I had a cigarette.” What? I didn’t know he smoked.
“I
wouldn’t care if you did.” My family all did and I grew up with my house
smelling like an ashtray.
“No,
no. If I start again, I won’t want to stop. You cold?” I’m shivering and any
minute now my teeth will start chattering.
“A little.
But we can stay out here if you want.”
He
shakes his head. “Let’s go back in. Hey, it’s probably good we came out here.
They’ll probably think I dragged you off for a quickie against a tree.” I
wonder if that was his master plan.
“Well
if we’re going to play it that way, then we should make it believable.” I
motion for him to lean down and I shake my hands through his hair, making it a
little messy. Then I do the same with my hair. I make him take his jacket off,
and I muss both of our clothes so it looks like we put them on in haste. As one
last little touch, I reapply my lip gloss and then smear a little on Jett’s
mouth. My fingers brush across his lips and he stays still as I do my work, but
I want him to kiss my fingers. For a guy, his lips are surprisingly soft, but
still firm. Sculpted.
“What
do you think?” I say, putting my arms out to show my dishevelment.
“Perfect.”
He brushes my hair back from my face and his hand lingers for a second on the
side of my face. Then he slides his hand into mine and I lean against his
shoulder as we walk back toward the mayhem.
