"If you are going to dine with cannibals, sooner or later, darling, you are going to get eaten..." ~Nick Cave~ Boring. This single word, two syllables, six characters is what describes everything twenty-three year old Naima is not. As an adrenaline junkie, serial partier, and a self-acclaimed workaholic, this eccentric young woman has more than enough on her plate. But when things start going from slightly eccentric, to straight out freaky, Naima starts to feel overwhelmed. Suddenly the people that Naima thought she knew become strangers with even stranger secrets. © ABHORRENTSOUL 2013 All Rights Reserved No part of this story or any of its contents may be reproduced, copied, modified or adapted, without the prior written consent of the author, unless otherwise indicated for stand-alone materials.

The last thing on this Godforsaken planet he wants to do is acquaint himself with her. While Charlotte is kind and caring, he's rude and vulgar, while she's friendly and innocent, he's crass and mean. So how in the hell is that going to turn out?
