Chapter One

I need you to know that fucking Jonathon isn’t a part of the plan in any respect. It has nothing to do with the plan and even type of breaks the foundations we set in placing collectively the plan within the first place. The entire level of our association is that there isn’t going to be something actual. We’re pretending. It’s not about romance and love. It’s not even about intercourse. However we find yourself screwing like loopy anyway. It’s not a part of the plan and it’s towards the foundations. Nonetheless, it’s due to the plan that we find yourself doing it.

Okay, I’ll again up a bit of and make issues clearer, okay?

Jonathon is my fiancé.

Besides he’s not.

What I imply to say is that I’m pretending he’s my fiancé. It’s a type of difficult scenario so I’ll simply inform you the way it occurs, okay? I’ll offer you a bit of background. I grew up in a tiny little mountain city referred to as Pinecrest Peak. I like this city. Take into consideration each cliché about joyful little cities, and it in all probability applies to this place.

About the one factor surprising about Pinecrest Peak is that it’s residence to an outlaw bike membership. The membership is named the Midnight Avengers. The membership members are what bikers name one-percenters. I assume that’s from some quote at a rally or one thing. Somebody was defending motorcyclists and mentioned that ninety-nine % of all bike riders have been law-abiding residents. I assume those that can’t be described that manner (as a result of they don’t seem to be law-abiding) use the title one-percenter as a badge of honor.

I’m telling you concerning the Midnight Avengers as a result of Jonathon is one. He’s an outlaw biker.

Anyway. Though they’re positively a legal group, everybody on the town loves the Midnight Avengers as a result of they shield the city. They not solely preserve their very own enterprise removed from residence however in addition they received’t permit any legal enterprises into city. Actually, about essentially the most the police need to cope with in Pinecrest Peak is teenage shoplifting, occasional Saturday night drunk in public stuff, and that type of petty crap.

Okay. So, now you understand a bit of about Pinecrest Peak.

I transfer away at eighteen simply to go to school within the metropolis. I transfer again to twenty-two years previous, diploma in hand, and able to reside within the city I like. I have already got a advertising and marketing and consulting firm going. It’s how I bought extra cash in faculty, working by means of freelance websites and stuff. Now, I’m able to take it to a complete new stage.

And I get residence and uncover my great-grandmother’s property is labored out. She died once I was seventeen however all the pieces was very difficult. It’s taken years to determine issues out, I assume. I by no means cared. I beloved my Nana, and I by no means wished something anyway.

However… Effectively, she left me her home and a considerable sum of money. The rationale that’s essential to me is as a result of if I don’t get her home, will probably be offered. I don’t need it going exterior of the household. I can’t inform you I don’t care concerning the money in any respect however I can truthfully say that it isn’t an important factor to me. I already know that I’ll be distributing plenty of it to different members of the family. Nana used to inform me she didn’t belief attorneys. She wished to depart her cash to somebody she might belief and that particular person might give it to her family members.

Anyway. Right here’s the catch.

I’ve to be engaged or married.

For six months. After six months, all the pieces transfers to me and it’s accomplished. It’s irreversible at that time.

See, Grandma all the time advised me that I used to be too severe and too giving. She mentioned I by no means lived life for myself and by no means loved what I deserved to take pleasure in. She significantly identified that I averted any actual romance. I had a boyfriend in highschool however she knew proper from the outset there wasn’t any actual emotion concerned. She knew that we have been each simply having enjoyable.

I believe she wished me to expertise the type of life that she skilled when she was my age. I do know for a reality she wished me to cease taking life so critically on a regular basis. She wished me to deal with having fun with life greater than determining accomplish all I might in no matter time I had.

You understand, again once I was a child, I assumed she had charming concepts that simply didn’t match. It’s wonderful how getting back from faculty adjustments my perspective although. I’m not even speaking about the home and all that. Even once I suppose I’m going to simply reside in my mother and father’ home, I notice that there’s a steadiness I want in my life. I must study to take pleasure in life and never simply deal with objectives and targets and all that.

Okay, so anyway, I’ve to be engaged or married for not less than six months. After that, the home can be turned over to me and it’s accomplished. The issue, although, is that it has to occur inside sixty days (as a result of it has to occur earlier than my twenty-third birthday, and that’s two months away.) The engagement, I imply. Or, I suppose, a marriage.

So, there it’s.

I actually wish to preserve my great-grandmother’s home within the household. It’s simply not going to be a simple factor to do.

Chapter Two

So, I’ve bought two months to search out somebody to be engaged with after which I’ve to attend six months. Tony is again on the town. He’s my boyfriend from highschool. We broke up amicably after commencement as a result of we knew there was no future for us.

However I contemplate that we might make a future occur. I imply, it’s not the life I need nevertheless it may very well be a superb life, proper? It’s a must to perceive how essential it’s to me that Nana’s home stays within the household. It’s a really good home, after all, however even when it have been only a shack, I might need it to remain within the household. So, that’s a risk. I truly referred to as the lawyer and requested if I wanted to be engaged to a person. I’ve a good friend from faculty who’s bisexual and has all the time been occupied with me.

I truly take into consideration an organized marriage!

Yeah, I’m going fucking loopy. Whereas that’s occurring, I hear noise within the yard. This home has been vacant for years so I don’t know why it seems like work is being accomplished. I step out into the yard and see a person.

Or a whole biker god. You possibly can determine what to name him.

I see him from behind. He’s bare from the waist up. I see his reduce (his sleeveless biker vest) draped over his shirt draped over his bike. He has a hammer and nails and he’s doing one thing with the yard fence. The person is broad-shouldered and so damned muscular! I imply, he’s muscular from work, not from figuring out. He doesn’t appear like a bodybuilder.

He appears to be like excellent.
