It's Not Them, It's Only Her (Young in Love‪)‬

My mission in life is simple. Family. Food. Freedom. Most people don't question my love for my family. And I make my living as a celebrity chef. The freedom part? The thought of being confined—behind bars, at a desk, or in a monogamous relationship—is not something I want for myself. Unfortunately, it becomes a problem when women want to make me their Forever Bae. Even after I make it clear that I'm not looking for more than short interlude.

Except . . . when I think of her, when I'm with her, I don't feel stuck. I actually want uninterrupted time with her. Surprised? Me too.

Want to know how I ended up in this predicament? I wish I knew because I definitely wasn't looking for it. Maybe it's the way she takes care of me? By listening to the things I say and everything I don't say.

Want to know why changing our relationship dynamic is a bad idea? I'm not the only one who wants her. Which makes it very complicated.

Want to know another reason why this is a bad idea? My track record speaks for itself. And she deserves someone good. I'm . . . not.

The choice is hers, though. I hate to lose so I'm playing to win. And I will show her that it's not him that she needs. It's me.
