Insufferable Proximity

Prologue

PROLOGUE

I could hear the loud chants as the whole crowd begged him to sing those words again , begged him to devour them with that  voice again as the band got ready to get off the stage.The ladies especially were dying to get his attention.But he seemed to be ignoring all this attention maintaining our close eye contact as he came towards me . I stood there glued to the spot as his arms encircled my waist so easily and his  mouth started to come down on mine. And just as he was about to touch his lips to mine a loud noise interrupted us and I grunted in pain as I felt my stinging behind and opened my eyes to the millions of stars that covered my room ceiling. Holy bananas! I had fallen off my clumsy bed--again!

As I reached up to shut off my alarm my hand grazed the shell bracelet he had given me the last time we saw each other--when the world as I knew it had come to an end. Now fully awake from my dazed dream reality came crashing down on me. As many times as I had imagined the various scenarios in which we would be reunited and walk into the sunset together I knew that some dreams were too good to be true .
He was Leon Spencer, frontman to The Jaded, and the rock-god who every single element of the female species literally craved for. 
And I was Bianca Reece, straight A student at the University of South Hampton and a plain Jane of sorts. While he took breaths away wherever he went I had no problems remaining hidden from the world under my grey hoodie . Hidden from all the fears that would resurface if I ever let anyone in again. Insecurities that threatened to bring this carefully built life crumbling back down. And old wounds that had left such a big hole in my heart that no other person could fill. He was the only one who ever reached that deep into me , the only one who came closest to bringing me back to normal , helping me rise up from the ruins of my past . He promised me that we would heal together and live a good life which we damn well deserved. But alas all these promises were made only to be broken the day he left me on that roof and walked out of my life.
And now he was coming to my college and although the thought of seeing him again made my heart flutter I had to make sure that this news did not threaten to bring my guards down because getting burnt once nearly destroyed me , and that mistake was never going to happen again .
