Never Have I Ever: An Age Gap Romance

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but the biggest one was letting my buddy, Joe, talk me into bouncing bar for him on the weekend his sweet, little niece started working for him. That was five months ago. A single weekend turned into every weekend since then because I can't seem to go more than a few days without seeing her. I keep tabs on this girl like it’s my full-time job.
I'm obsessed. Smitten. Whatever. Lainey's my true north. No matter where she is in a room, my eyes always find her. I’m surprised Joe hasn’t noticed by now. Not that he’s got anything to worry about. She’ll never be mine because Lainey craves stability, and I renovate and flip houses for a living.
I’m constantly moving from one project to another. I've been renovating the current house for a couple of months, now. I planned to flip it, like I did all the others, but she’s just been evicted from her apartment and if she needs a place to stay, well, plans change.
A good man would hand over the keys to the house and walk away, but I already know I'm not going to do that. No, I’m going to stay right here, think dirty thoughts, and fall even more in love with the girl I can’t have.
