At first, my neighbor Deacon frustrated me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, he was great-looking and friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But our walls were thin, and on occasion, he\u2019d bring women to his place and keep me awake while he \u201centertained\u201d them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a single mother to an infant, I didn\u2019t appreciate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, finally it was my turn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When my daughter wouldn\u2019t stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my door.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miraculously, at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying. And when he held her\u2026she eventually fell asleep in his arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deacon was rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr. Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle was a baby whisperer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that night, we became friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019d go for coffee runs. Come over to chat. Normal friend stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But over time, our conversations ran deeper. We got closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until one night we crossed the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our friendship turned into a complicated mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d gone and fallen for a guy who\u2019d sworn off commitment and kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn\u2019t fit into any plan he\u2019d ever imagined for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was wrong for me\u2014so wrong that I\u2019d dubbed him the \u201canti-boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then why did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
