SNEAK PEAK EXCERPT FOR THE BOOK "SO MANY REASONS WHY" by MISSY JOHNSON I watched in horror as Tom answered the call. I threw my face in my hands and collapsed down onto the kitchen counter. This was bad. I tried to block out his voice. I didn't need to hear what he was saying to know I needed to be very embarrassed. “Asshole.” I muttered. “Hello?” Tom didn't even bother to hide his amusement. “Emma? Yes she's here. And who may I say is calling? Simon. Right, finally. I've heard so much about you. Em doesn't shut up about you.” I groaned, stumbling to the couch. I was so embarrassed. This was really bad. I threw myself onto the couch and buried my head in the arm “Uh-huh. Right. Yes I understand that.” Tom nodded, his face serious, as if he was deep in the middle of an important meeting. “I do need to know what your intentions are toward my Emma. Are you planning on becoming intimate?” “Fuck you Tom!” I screamed loudly. My face flamed. I wanted the couch to swallow me. I was going to kill Tom. It may take a while, years even, but he was going to pay for this. “Right. Just be safe. And remember, if it's not on, it's not on.” He wandered out onto the balcony, knowing I wasn't likely to follow him out there. Could this get any worse? I wondered how hard it would be for Tom to 'accidentally' fall over the balcony of my level 10 apartment with me still standing within confines of the apartment. “Sure, I will put her on.” I felt the phone hit me on my back. I reached behind to grab it. I contemplated hanging up. This was beyond embarrassing. No. That would only make things more awkward. I would have to speak to him eventually. “Hello.” I mumbled, cringing. “Well hello there.” He said, amused. Way too amused. He was loving this. “Hi.” I responded, feeling embarrassed. And angry. I was so fucking angry. “So, Tom seems like a nice guy.” “Tom’s a fucking asshole.” I yelled, loud enough for him to hear. Tom yelled back an inaudible response. Simon chuckled. THAT'S JUST A TEASER OF WHAT'S IN BETWEEN THE COVERS OF THIS EAGERLY ANTICIPATED BOOK, "So Many Reasons Why".
