Women swoon over him, but he remains disinterested, consumed by his company and indifferent to romantic pursuits.

Ross stepped a step closer to me from across the room, confusion never leaving his eyes. "Are you hiding from someone ?" I bit my lip. The next door Alec would open, would definitely be this one. I was playing out all kind of escape plans in my head but the only possible one I came up with was this idea. I can always change my name and move to another country, right ? What about Mexico ? "Laura ?" I quickly walked up to Ross, "I'm sorry in advance." "What do you mean, I-", he couldn't even finish his sentence when I suddenly pulled him towards me, walking backwards till my back hit the wall. I saw his eyes widen a little, "Laura, wait, are you drunk again ? What the hell are you doing ? I-", in that very moment the door opened and I grabbed Ross by his shirt and pulled him towards me, making our lips meet. {C O M P L E T E D} ©selftice | idea, story & cover. ⊱⊰ #1 in #lauramarano (03/07/20) #1 in #auslly (17/02/21)
