A Very Grumpy Boss

Cameron

Life in a small town can suck. 

Everyone knows everyone else’s business and it can feel like there are no secrets. 

I’ve managed to keep one though. 

I’m in love with Ford Miller. 

I have been since I was a kid, but I never knew how he felt so I kept it to myself. 

When I started to work for him, keeping that secret became harder. 

Then my grandma comes back to town, determined to set me up with someone. 

I know that they’re just worried about me, but that doesn’t mean that I want them playing matchmaker. 

So, I come up with a plan. 

Now I just need to convince Ford to go along with it.

I’ve been pining for Cameron ever since we were kids, but she’s always kept me at arm’s length. 

When she comes to me looking for a job, I’m happy to give her one. 

I also hope that maybe she’ll finally let down her guard and realize that we’re meant to be. 

It’s been months now though and we’re still just friends. 

Until one day she comes to me and asks me to pretend to date her. 

She says that it will just be for a week or two, until her grandma leaves and because I can’t say no to her, I agree. 

Then it hits me. 

This is my chance. 

Now I just need to show my dream girl that we’re meant to be together. 

For real.
