He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

And with every chance I got, I would stare at him. Just when I promised myself this would be the last glance, Hunter caught my eyes and let out a chuckle.

He then dropped a long and passionate kiss on my desperate lips, and all my thoughts faded away immediately. All my strength faded along when our tongues intertwined. With such an intense kiss, I gasped for air, but the kiss went on without a break. * * * Jennifer Anderson's life is both normal and successful.
