Donnie. A two-week family vacation in the islands that coincides with my older brother's wedding sounds like a dream, right? Wrong. Because, instead of visiting my family back home for a few days like I normally would during Thanksgiving and Christmas and being pressured to start dating again the whole time, now I'll have to hear it for the next two weeks which is going to put a serious damper on this vacation. But when my best friend, Kasie, spontaneously pretends I'm her boyfriend during a night out to ward off some douchebag, I get an idea; if pretending we're dating can ward off a pushy guy for the night, maybe it can also ward off a pushy family for the next two weeks. Kasie. Pretend to be my best friend's girlfriend. At first, I'm apprehensive. But eventually, Donnie convinces me that it'll be ok. We're affectionate friends anyways, so grand gestures and being extra playful to convince his family that we're dating, it shouldn't be a problem. Plus, our views on relationships are way different; I want happily ever after, and after his last heartbreak, he's not even sure he believes in it anymore. On top of that, we've actually discussed dating before and both agreed that just because the attraction and chemistry is there, it doesn't mean we have to cross the friendship line. Fake dating with real kisses and heart-thundering moments may blur the line just a little, but even a blurred line is still a line... right? *nervous chuckle*
