Pretending to be my boyfriend to save me from that strung-out patient sure came out of left field.
His first day on the job too.
Well, it worked. And now he's my hero.
The new paramedic sure has caught my attention.
Though I'll never admit to it-
that would be breaking my #1 rule:
Never fall for a coworker, ever again.
I learned that the hard way and I won't make that mistake twice.
Even if he is a handsome silver fox who should be on the cover
of a first-responder calendar.
Then he goes and saves me a second time-
He's always at the right place at the right time.
He's always there for me.
The more my fake boyfriend protects me,
the less pretending we're doing.
And the more I learn about him,
the smaller our age gap becomes.
And the more time we spend together,
the closer I get to breaking my own rule.
...And damn, but he can cook too.
