Heâs ready to close the deal, but Iâm no sellout!
Iâve got a bad habit that I canât shake. His name is Alejandro âAlexâ Anderson.
It starts out the same wayâwith a few drinks. Or more. Whoâs counting? I find myself drawn to the promise of his passionate gaze, confident poise, and smoldering good looks. Before I know it, Iâm in a janitorâs closet, locked in a steamy kiss with Alex. And of course, it doesnât end there.
Each time we share a night of passion, I donât want to return to Earth. After, as we cuddle, I canât imagine myself with anyone else, but then reality kicks in.
See, Alex isnât just a pretty face. Heâs a billionaire, complete with a mansion in a gated community and a maid. We definitely come from two totally different worlds!
Now Alex is hatching a plan to buy Dewsbury and turn it into a corporate tourist dump for city folk... and itâs up to me to save our hometown!
I canât help myself, though. Each time he texts, every time he calls, every time we fight and make up, I find myself falling for him even harder. Alex keeps showing upâcoming to the Dewsbury annual block party and helping me renovate my Airbnb. And each time he leaves, I find myself looking forward to our next meetup.
I keep hoping Alex might change. Maybe he will. There are moments where I find myself falling head over heels for those heated, dark eyes and firm lips. Alex seems to feel the connection too, but whenever it seems like he is taking one step forward, he takes two steps back.
Maybe all we have are our memoriesâthe old times I still treasure and the new ones weâve made together. I wonder if Alex will figure out whatâs really important before itâs too late.
