Be My Pretend Valentine

(2026)
A Story by

 
 
I agreed to fake-date the woman I’ve secretly loved for years. It’s going as well as you’d expect.
Tessa is the only woman I’ve ever wanted, but to her, I’m just Noah, the best friend. The guy who fixes things.

Her flower shop is in trouble. The Sweethearts Contest prize can save it.
She needs a boyfriend on paper. So, I say yes. Even though pretending is going to be torture. I want her to win. I hope she realizes what we could be.

When I warm her knuckles with my lips on stage, a whole room swoons.
We "kiss for the camera," and I think she finally feels what I feel.
I’m sure I’ve finally crossed that line from friend to boyfriend.

Then calls me her "best friend" in front of three hundred people and talks about how I ‘deserve better.’
Is she freeing me or is she trying to escape me?

I don’t want to be just friends. Worse, if I ask for a clean break from pretending, will there be a best friends version of us left to return to?

Please join Noah and Tessa on a beautiful journey as they discover that they are already enough—and find their happily ever after along the way. This is a kisses-only, no-cursing sweet romance.
