It’s Messy by Sonnie Wolf

Some people change relationship status like they change shoes. Not me. I’d been in a steady relationship for, well, a long time. Maybe too long.
We were happy and by happy my status could read: IN COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE SAFE or GIRLFRIEND BUT NOT A PRIORITY.
It wasn’t until I met someone who made my heart beat fast that I regretted I was officially TAKEN.
His best friend and my best friend have fallen in love and are getting married. Is happy every after contiguous? I hope so!
All this time we’ve been spending together has me feeling confused. Thinking about another man is a bad idea. Until the first moment I met Ben and realized that I deserve more.
Everything I never knew I was missing is now standing right in front of me, but I’m still taken. It’s time to call it like it is and move on.
BREAK UP? Is it really breaking up if you’re ending something that’s already over? Nope. Finally being free to move on isn’t as easy as I thought because the man I want doesn’t want to be the cause.
REBOUND? No way. That’s not what he is… not even close. He’s smart, gorgeous and covered in tattoos. He looks like a bad boy but acts like a gentleman.
FRIENDS TO LOVERS? We could be. If I could just convince him that what we have, what we could have, is real.
From one relationship to another, I don’t even have a label for what this is.
