How to Choose a Guy in 10 Days (Chick Flick Club, #1)

by Lila Monroe

Dear Zach, I’m so sorry about what happened at the gala. I never meant for you to find out about the bet that way. I wanted to tell you, I swear, but that would have meant forfeiting. I know now that I should have done it anyway. No promotion was worth using you like that. I promise, what I feel for you is real. You’re an incredible man – just the way you are. Getting to know you was one of the best things that’s ever happened to me, and whatever you choose to do now, I just want you to know, don’t ever change. For anyone. I hope you can forgive me. Gemma. I suck in a deep breath. Fuck. She could still be lying, trying to smooth things over, but I know in my gut, this is all sincere. I know Gemma. I fling open my front door, and head across the hall, but before I can knock, I hear a man’s voice coming from inside. “Come out with me tonight,” he says. “We’ll go dancing, I’ll get you drunk and then I’ll have my way with you.” “Fine, fine, all right,” Gemma says, laughing. “That is definitely an offer I can’t refuse.” I clench my fists, wanting to bust the door down. But for what? She sounds happy. She’s with a guy. She’s moving on. What did I expect? I turn away in defeat, before giving myself a reality check. So, she thinks it’s over between us. I just have to prove to her it isn’t. Show her what she means to me, make her see, I’m the man for her. I haven’t fought for anything in a long time, but I want to fight for her. For us. It’s time to get back to work.
