The heavy droplets of rain were slowly slipping down the hood of his leather jacket and a few effortlessly kissed his dark chocolate hair. »H…Hi.« I sputtered. »What do you have there?« He walked closer to me and gazzed into my eyes with his dark ones, that perfectly matched his hair, then lowered his sight towards the kitten, hidden under my jacket. »One lil' kitty found another.« He smirked, amused by his own joke.

"Enjoy your stay here for as long as you live 'cause I'm pretty sure it isn't gonna last forever!'' He smirked, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. *** Novella can't decide whether to kick her roommate or kiss him. On one hand: Scott Taylor is this handsome, smouldering vocalist of the boy band Rock Me. Hands down; total bow-chicka-wow-wow. On the other hand: He's a potato who tries to kick her out of the apartment. Maybe that's why she's scared out of her Spongebob Squarepants knickers with the prospect of falling in love with him. Scott, himself has had a past probably way worse than you holding your pee after drinking ten glasses of chocolate milk with your crush sitting beside you, talking about Niagara Falls. Therefore, he tries to stay away from Novella before her carefree laugh, her rocking body and her hilarious as hell dance; which probably answers the question - What do you get when you ask a robot to dance like a monkey? - makes him fall in love with her. The only thing is: The more they spend their time together; the less they hate each other and unknowingly take step closer to falling in love. To some people having a roommate simply means living with each other; but for Scott and Novella was it their chance to forget their past and to believe in their happily ever after? Because frankly? Scott + Nova = Ooh La La. And you know what they say; sentences that rhyme are usually true... until proven otherwise. *** Cover Credits: Sugar_Rush19

Check out the His series; His Lust For Her, His Every Need and His One Desire. They're up on my page and better than this cappy book. Warning, they are dark romances and not for the faint hearted. Check them out! --- *DON'T READ, IT'S SHITTY* --- "You're so cute and innocent,'' He says laughing. "Like a kitten." "I-I.. Shut up," I grumble. "Aw, don't be mad, little kitten." He says with a smirk plastered on that stupid face of his. 'This bad boy will be the death of me.' I think as I try and keep the blush off my face. ***** Summer Reynolds is the nerd. Jayden Vermont is the bad boy. When Summer and her bestfriend since childhood, Carly, run into Jayden and his band of bad boys, things get awkward. And when Summer and Jayden get closer what will happen? Will Jayden stop being the player and actually fall in love? Will Jayden's past be too much for them to handle? Follow Summer and Jayden on their awkward, flirty, funny and dangerous adventure. **A/N: (UNDER MAJOR EDITING!) I'm in the process of major editing and reconstruction. This was my first story and it is not very detailed, has a lot of grammar mistakes (cringe worthy), but I hope you like it anyways. Thank you to those that read**
