 Chapter one 

            Walking out of work carrying my big bag full of my gear and clothes, 

looking around I couldn’t help think how dark and chilly it was. 

"Nothing like a crappy winter’s morning to start the day," I said to 

myself rolling my eyes. I walked across the parking lot to my cute '93 

black jeep; I smiled, I love my car with its little Barbie sticker in 

the window, hey, I had to make it girly. Deep in my own little world, I 

opened my car and started throwing my bag in when I had an unnerving 

feeling in the pit of my stomach. This happens a lot, I have no 

explanation why, it has just always happened. This was worse, so I pretended 

to stretch and looked over my shoulder, my friend James was getting 

into his car and started laughing, "if you wanna look you don’t have to 

hide it I know you want me," he said with a wink. "Hmm you know you 

caught me, except I sort of have a thing for, oh you know tall muscular 

guys who actually don’t look like a jersey shore douche bag, but thanks 

anyway." I’m such a bitch sometimes, but lucky for me, most people let me 

get away with it. James just rolled his eyes and drove off. "Point 1 

Laine, 0 James," I couldn’t help doing a little happy dance as I jumped 

into the driver side of my car and turned over the engine. Then like a 

ton of bricks, the feeling came back, so I lit a cigarette and took a 

couple deep drags. I know, I know, smoking is horrible and no one 

should do it. In my defense, though I’m European and it’s rather ingrained 

in our heads at an early age to smoke and drink. Oh, I’m sorry how rude 

of me I haven’t introduced myself! My name is Catherina Laine Bianchi, 

but you can call me Lo for short. I have dark curly hair 

down past my shoulders, it’s naturally blonde but I color it so I don’t 

look adopted into my family of dark hair and dark eyed giants. My eyes 

are hazel gold, from my fathers’ side. In Italian culture, golden eyes are 

a sign of being blessed by the Gods, a sign that you have foresight and 

intuition. Of course I think that’s a load of shit, but hey I’m pretty 

ignorant, at least I can admit it. Standing at 5'9 and a pretty curvy 

body, I think I’m ok looking. I’m a pretty plain normal 21 year old; I 

have my degree in public relations so I work a ton, planning social 

event and fundraisers. Oh, right back to my story, so there I am 

singing loudly along with the radio driving the 15-minute drive to my apartment, 

hoping that the feeling will go away. Then out of the corner of my eye, 

I see a shadow of a person on the side of the road, I blinked and they 

were gone. “Whoa Lo your loosing it your over worked and tired get 

home and then you can grab a drink and rest." I said to myself and I 

relaxed a little. Pulling up into my driveway, I jumped out and fully 

sprinted to my door, flipped the lock and slammed it behind me. My 

pom poodle Gio looked up from his bed, stared at me with the look of 

disapproval and fell back asleep. Walking into my kitchen I fixed myself 

a sandwich and a glass of wine, singing, "you make me wanna die," softly 

feeling completely safe in my loft. I was about to sit down and feast 

on my delicious meal I had made when a light knock stopped me mid bite. 

Gio's ear perked up and started growling at the door, he’s a sweet heart 

until a man comes near the house or me, (yes, I have a sexist dog get 

over it.)  Groaning I got up and looked threw the peephole; my golden 

eyes met two aquamarine eyes on the other side. I gasped when I saw 

them, "how amazing are those contacts." I said to myself until I realized 

I said it aloud and the stranger let out a sexy laugh. "I’m afraid 

this is my real eye color, singnora." I could tell he was trying not to 

laugh too much so he wouldn’t embarrass me further. “Urm sorry it’s just, it’s 

very different." I gave a lame giggle. “Anyway how can I help you?" I 

slapped my hand on my head; can I be anymore lame? “Well you see 

singnora I saw you at the event tonight, I didn’t have a chance to 

introduce myself so I asked your boss where I could find you." I looked 

at him, his eyes were focused on the ground and he put his hand behind 

his head, a nervous habit I presumed. “Oh well can I ask your name? 

Sorry it’s hard for me to trust strangers." Good going Lo, you so don’t 

sound like a little child afraid of strangers. Way to go dumb ass. "Of 

course miss, my name is Charles Alexander Gramaldi." He threw me a 

dazzling smile. Taking a deep breath, I walked to Gio and put him in 

his crate, walked past my mirror and fixed my hair. Finally making it 

to the door, I opened it a little and stuck my head out. "Urm hello? 

Charles?" good going you took to long I scolded myself. My red lips 

came to a pout; I slowly started to shut the door when Charles stuck 

his head around the corner. “I thought you were ignoring me," he said 

with an uncomfortable chuckle. O.M.G!!!! He was gorgeous. Standing around 

6'4, he had chocolate brown hair cut into the cool messy look. His eyes 

were big pools of blue; I bet they have taken the hearts of many young 

girls. He had full pink lips and they were curved into a perfect grin, hiding 

straight white teeth. His muscles were easily seen threw his plain 

white shirt. Let mnie tell you the drool was defiantly dripping from my 

mouth.
