Enjoy this Teen Short Story Romance!

Landing a summer job with the girl of his dreams is seventeen-year-old Andrew Kendrell's fantasy come true.

Daniela Rosen is perfect -- beautiful, flirty, fun. Unfortunately, she's also taken. Andrew can't believe his luck when she's dumped by her boyfriend and turns her sights on him. But his new love has a hidden agenda, and it spirals him toward a life-altering decision.

A Short Sample:"Sean. He dumped me." Daniela buried her face in my chest. I put my arms
around her, and her sobs shook through me.

I kept one eye out to the shop in case anyone approached the register. Everyone appeared content to continue browsing.

Her arms circled my waist, and she held on tight. I laid my cheek on top of her head, feeling her silky brown hair on my skin, and said nothing. All I could think of right then was it was my turn. My turn to have her.

"It's over. After ten months." Her voice was muffled into my shirt. "He left me."

I squeezed her, wondering what kind of fool would ever let her go. She clenched my back and her crying softened to small gasps. I kept holding her, and the feel of her body next to mine was almost unbearable.

She raised her wet face, and I saw a tear hover on her lip. Without thinking, I leaned down and kissed it away.

She stiffened but didn't move.
