and I know I am none of those things.
But I can't seem to help myself when it comes to him.
Don't I deserve just a little something all to myself?
It's impossible to deny my attraction to him.
But how can I get him to see me in the same way?
If only he thought I was someone different...
Someone rich and powerful like him.
Someone like...my best friend, Sophie.
Sophie said I desperately needed to get laid.
She'd understand if I borrowed just a few small details from her life...
All for the sake of getting Miles into bed.
Did I mention he's a rich doctor? Worth it.
If I could actually pull it off,
It'd only be for a one-night stand anyway.
What's the harm?
It does work. And maybe it would have been harmless...
If that one night didn't turn intolots ofnights.
And a positive pregnancy test.
I swore I'd never fall for a man like this again.
But here I am, crashing down hard for him...
Right into a giant disaster of my own making
with only myself to blame.

Ipaced in front of my closet like a madwoman. Every time I reached to pull an outfit down that looked promising, I paused and second-guessed myself.
"I know!Google!" I shouted to myself, racing over to my bed where I had last flung my purse. "Google knows everything. I’ll just search for ‘what to wear on a date’… Yeah, surely that will inspire something."
But when I arrived at the side of my bed, my purse was…gone. I looked left, then right… under the bed, around every corner of the room.
"Where did it go!?"
My heart pounded as I considered all the possibilities.Could I have left it in the shopping cart at the grocery store? Oh! Maybe it’s on the kitchen table.
