Tongue-Tied
Confessing feelings for your best friend takes being tongue-tied to a whole new level.
AUSTIN Dex has always been my best friend, so it’s no surprise that we attend Franklin U together. We’re complete opposites. Dex is charismatic and outgoing. Me? Let’s just say I wish I could infuse some of his confidence into my veins. Making friends is hard enough, but trying to meet guys? Even with Dex’s help? I’m useless. Maybe it’s because Dex is all about hooking up, but I want my first time to be straight out of the pages of the romance novels I read.
DEX After a string of mishaps, I swore off helping Austin land guys. But when he asks me to show him the ropes with practice sessions, I get the feeling he’s desperate. Our dates are pretend, so why am I getting so into them? I want to make Austin happy, but the line between friendship and something more is getting really damned blurry. The fluttery feeling, that electric energy every time we touch…it’s addicting. I’m getting overprotective, not only of my time with Austin, but with douchebags who might break his heart.
Eventually, the pretending has to end so Austin can strike out on his own. But how do I tell him I’m not ready to let him go, when every attempt at confessing leaves me tongue-tied?

Ratings and reviews
<div>Austin and Dex have been friends for years and then roommates. Dex is now in a different dorm without Austin. Austin doesn’t want to be inexperienced anymore and his new roommate Kael gives him the idea to ask Dex for help. Will they be able to not let feelings get involved? </div><div> </div><div>How adorable is it that Austin only stutters and fumbles over himself when it comes to cute guys. I feel bad that Dex doesn’t want a relationship because of what his dad did. I love that Dex kept Austin’s hoodie and refused to wash it because it smelt like him. Karaoke is always fun especially when intoxicated and singing with your best friend. I did enjoy how Austin speaks up for himself. The fake dates are the cutest thing ever! I don’t know how Dex doesn’t see how sweet he is but it had me smiling so much. The ending was just right for them. </div>
