Better vs. Worse

Commitment is a four letter word…

My little sister’s best friend has always been off-limits.

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve imagined what it would be like to be with her, she doesn’t want me. She wants a clean-cut guy with a boring job who’ll sit at home and answer her every beck and call.

I know who I am, and I’m not going to change.

Sure, I’d do anything she asked, but I can’t change me. Not that she’s ever asked. She knows I’m a lost cause. Life as a surf instructor might not be stable, but it’s fun and I’m good at it.

These days I think it’s the only thing I’m good at. Because I sure as hell suck at saying no to her lately.

Excerpt from Better vs. Worse

“Where the hell have you been? Kiana’s going nuts trying to find you.”

Ada shook her head and met my eyes. I could see the depths of her fear in them. Fears that I knew first hand. Fear that kept me in place for years.

“I needed some time to myself,” she admitted.

Her voice was different. She wasn’t the feisty Ada I knew. This Ada was worn down. Beaten and bruised.

“What’s wrong?”

She shook her head and gave me a smile that didn’t get anywhere close to her beautiful brown eyes. Eyes I could stare into a get lost in if I let myself.

But I knew it wasn’t smart. I wasn’t educated. I wasn’t highly intelligent. I was a guy who went straight to work after I finished high school. I never had big dreams about fancy jobs or big houses or expensive stuff. A beach and a surfboard was all I ever needed.

But I didn’t need an education to know getting involved with Ada would only end with pain. Mine, not hers. She knew what she wanted from life, and it wasn’t a guy like me. It was one of those guys I’d never be. Which was why I kept my hands to my damn self even though she looked like she needed a hug.

“I’ve spent a lot of time convincing myself I needed a lot of things. I’ve been trying to figure out what I really need. The problem is, the only thing I think I really need is you.”
