"Brad, what're you doing?" I whisper, only just loud enough to be heard over the music but soft enough to not ruin the incredible intimacy of the moment. His eyes flicker upwards to look intensely into mine again. "I was going to kiss you" he whispers in reply in an equally hushed voice. "Why?" What Not To Do When You're Alone With a Guy by Ella Evans. Chapter One: Ask the Attractive Guy Why They Want To Kiss You "Because..." he breathes as he moves his thumb away and his lips brush against mine just ever so slightly, "I've been dying to for weeks" * * * * * * * When Ella Evans' mother decides to get married, Ella is thrilled for her. What she's not so thrilled about is the Satan spawn, otherwise known as Brittany, her new step-sister-to-be, who is not only moving into the Evans household but also into Ella's bedroom. Ella has only two options. One. Kill the demon spawn. A tempting yet illegal offer. Or two. Go and live with her brother Tristan for a while. Perhaps the more sensible option. Or so Ella thinks. Until she meets the other guy she has to live with. Her brother's bandmate and flat-sharer, who goes by the name of Bradley Simpson. Warning: contains strong language and mild sexual content.

"If you ever feel stupid, remember you're not the girl who rejected Liam twenty two times." My friend tried to cheer me up. I didn't get what she was talking about until my eyes landed on her poster on the wall. My throat went dry when I realized who it was. Liam Payne. The boy I rejected twenty times and broke his heart. He was finally living his dream as a famous singer. I stared at the other posters, and my lips played a smile. Look what he become. I was lucky, but I didn't appreciate. Look what I've lost. Am I too late?
