Read Impossible Girl (Sexy Nerd Boys #2.5) Online
Authors: K. M. Neuhold
Lounging on the hood of Ravi’s car, basking in the sun, watching the water of the lake ripple invitingly...this is heaven. It also doesn’t hurt to have the love of my life lying next to me, our shoulders just barely touching. Unfortunately, it’s never going to happen with Ravi. A twinge of sadness attempts to wrap itself around my heart, but I take a deep breath and let the sweet spring air chase all of the sorrow away.
Ravi has been best friends with my twin brother, Chase, since kindergarten. And, by extension, one of my best friends as well. Oh yeah, and I’ve been madly, stupidly, unrequitedly in love with him for four years.
I first realized I liked Ravi as ‘more than a friend/big brother’ when we were fourteen and Chase had referred to himself
and
Ravi as my brothers. I still remember the disturbing lurch in my stomach at his words. I remember thinking Ravi is
not
my brother. I was surprised at first by my own negative feelings to Chase’s statement, until I realized that what I really wanted was to hold hands and kiss Ravi. Those were my fantasies about him when I was fourteen, but as I matured, so did my fantasies. Boy did they ever mature. Last summer, when I saw him shirtless for the first time since he’d joined the track team, I’d needed to change my panties afterward.
“So, graduation is in two weeks, what do you want to be when you grow up?”
“You know I’m going to be a doctor,” Ravi responds, a hint of resignation in his husky voice. Ever since he went through puberty and his voice dropped about ten octaves it’s given me goosebumps every time he opens his mouth.
“I didn’t ask what you’re going to do to please mommy and daddy. I asked what you
want
to be.” I bump his shoulder playfully.
He sighs heavily and gives me a sidelong glance.
“It’s really dorky,” Ravi warns with a grimace.
“You’re an Indian boy with a pompadour and Star Wars bed sheets. I already figured that your dream career would be dorky,” I tease.
“Don’t be jealous of my awesome hairdo and badass bed sheets,” he quips. “I...um...want to be a writer. I’ve written a few science fiction stories,” he admits, a blush creeping into his dark brown cheeks.
“That’s so awesome! Could I read something sometime?” I ask.
“Sure, maybe,” he mutters awkwardly. “Are you seeing Greg Peterson?” he blurts.
My mouth falls open and I grapple for words.
I’d been very careful to keep any and all of my “boyfriends”, and I use that term very loosely, quiet. One reason for this is Chase, because he’s the most overprotective brother in the world. But, the other reason is that I didn’t want Ravi to think I was a skank. I did spend some, let’s just say ‘quality time’ with Greg, but it was because he wasn’t repulsive and I want to be well practiced on the off chance that one day I’ll have my chance with Ravi.
“Here and there. Nothing serious,” I shrug.
For a second, it looks like Ravi is actually jealous...or maybe it was just a trick of the light.
My heart flutters at the possibility of Ravi seeing me as more than a little sister. I decide right then and there that I’m not letting Ravi leave for college before I give him my virginity. I’ve kept it for him and this may be my last chance. I’m not stupid. I know Ravi and I can never be together. I swear I will not be disappointed to only have him once. And then, he can go to college and we’ll both move on and remain best friends who shared something so special. My mind is made up.
I’m author K. M. Neuhold and I am an absolute romance junkie, both when it comes to reading and writing. I have been writing my entire life but didn’t really find my niche of writing romance until about two years ago. I also have an obsession with nerd culture and a major habit of falling terribly in love with my own male main characters. I find myself with a burning need to write female lead characters who don’t crumble at the first sign of conflict. I know there are so many strong women out there who want to read about a woman who doesn’t demure to a man, even if she does love him. And, as my husband often tells me, it takes a real man to handle a strong woman. When I’m not writing or reading, I love spending time with my husband and our awesome dog (and our three only semi-awesome cats). I also work at a vet clinic where I get to indulge my love of animals all day long.
