Four blind dates in five days. I can’t believe I agreed to this.Actually, I can. That’s what I do. I agree to things I don’t want to do to make other people happy. In this case, my four best friends. They’re worried about me and if going on a few dates will make them happy, then I’ll do it. How bad could they be?I probably shouldn’t have asked that.I’m starting to seriously wonder if my friends know me at all. Each pick is worse than the last, and none of them compare to my former fiancé... moreFour blind dates in five days. I can’t believe I agreed to this.Actually, I can. That’s what I do.

My teen crush and nemesis, he is the last person I want to hire, but, unfortunately for me, he’s also the only person willing to take on the project.

Once the house is finished, we’ll go our separate ways and I can get back to my solitary life. Or maybe not. What starts as meetings to choose tile and paint colors turns into casual dinners, then actual dates, and I can’t believe I’m considering a more long term collaboration.Until Calvin’s true motives come into question, and then I don’t know what to believe. Letting him into my heart may have been a huge mistake, and getting him back out is proving to be not so easy. less
