Wait With Me (Wait With Me, #1)

by Amy Daws

“My roommate is…gay,” I blurt, and my eyes fly wide at the lie that tumbled so easily from my lips. “And he’s out of town for the summer.” Miles stares down at me, blinking. “Seriously?” I shrug, completely unable to confirm it again because I still can’t believe I lied in the first place.

She just lost me. Lying about her name was borderline but this is over the line.

I shake my head, trying to refocus my brain on the main point here. “But I’m not your property, Miles!” “In my mind, you are,” he replies, his jaw tight, his lips pinched. “And I really need you not to do things to make me jealous.” “Why?” I nearly sob. “Because if you make me jealous, then I won’t be able to stay friends with you.” “Why?” Good God, man, just fucking take me! “Because it’ll make me want to fuck you, so you don’t ever want to look at another guy again.”

Okay this is weird.

And you can’t give me a zero-tolerance policy for drama because of your freaking baggage!”

Yeah he can. You lied to him knowing it would be a dealbreaker
