The One

It was just one date. My friend told me I needed more fun in my life, so I reluctantly said yes. Fun wasnt exactly in my wheelhouse. After watching my own mothers love life implode time and time again, its only natural that I have a few rules to protect myself. Actually, its just one rule: avoid relationships with men so I dont get attached. I wasnt worried. Getting attached has never been a problem for me. This guy was just a warm body in a chair. I was here for the basketball game. I was absolutely NOT here for my date. Or the kiss cam. Or the kiss. Or the impromptu evening with the one man who seems bent on throwing my tidy world off of its axis. But when my life takes a nose dive, hes also the man who seems bent on proving to me that good men do exist, dreams can come true, and sometimes throwing out the rule book is when the magic really starts to happen.
