When the guest of honor walked in\u2014<em>aka my now ex<\/em>\u2014things took a turn\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually\u00a0<em>my landlord<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Colby Lennon, along with three of his friends, owned the building where my tattoo shop was located.\u00a0 He and I were total opposites.\u00a0 He wore a tie, oozed confidence that came with years of women falling at his feet, and wasn\u2019t afraid to say what he wanted, which lately\u2014<em>was me<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I hated that I found myself attracted to him.\u00a0 Especially since I was supposed to be on a self-imposed dating hiatus. Yet the two of us couldn\u2019t seem to stay away from each other. We started hanging out, as friends.\u00a0 I even went as far as making rules for what he\u2019d dubbed our \u201cundates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But eventually, our explosive attraction became too much to bear, and we broke our resolve. I let my guard down and started to really fall for Colby.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn\u2019t prepared for where I\u2019d wind up when the ride was over.<\/p>\n<p>All good things must come to an end, right?<\/p>\n<p>Except our ending was one I didn\u2019t see
