After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019

Annalise Fall seems to have everything - she's the smartest girl in her sixth form, has the perfect teachers, the perfect friends, the perfect boyfriend. The perfect life. So when everything is so perfect, why change anything? Unless the changes are out of your control. ════════ Exiting from the practice rooms, I literally took three steps forwards before a blurred figure in a red flannel shirt crashed into me from the side, causing me to lose my balance and fall, my sheet music flying in the air and scattering in different directions across the smooth floor. "Shit, I'm so sorry," the figure apologised as I pushed my hair out of my eyes. I sighed, seeing as the sheet music was sprawled all across the floor. The figure crouched down, helping me gather the sheets. I was about to tell him that it was okay, until I realised who I was dealing with. "Does a day pass where you don't attempt to terrorise me, Chase, or is this just a part of our daily routine?" I asked the boy in exasperation as he chuckled at me. "Just a happy coincidence Fall," he smirked referring to me using my last name, scanning his eyes up and down my body. "Don't you have a girlfriend to check out?" I asked defiantly, crossing my arms over my chest. "Don't flatter yourself," he scoffed. "And nope. Still no girlfriend, but I'll keep you updated," he winked. "If that's your subtle way of telling me you're not into me, excuse me whilst I go and thank the Lord," I bit back. "You don't have to pretend like you're not offended, I know you're burning on the inside sweetheart," he commented smugly. "That feeling is called relief, sweetheart," I mimicked him. "Relief that I won't fall victim to your futile and, quite frankly, disturbing attempts of flirting." "You would fall at my feet if I flirted with you," he stared arrogantly as I rolled my eyes. "You wouldn't have a chance with me if you tried," I scoffed as his gazed softened slightly. *mature topics covered

He's popular. I have one friend. He's outgoing. I'm quiet. He has a girlfriend. I'm alone. I'm shy and he's purely arrogant. But they say like forces repel and opposites attract. And we're complete opposites. ════════ "Hello, my name is Juliette Hunter and I think you're an asshole" I said to him, turning my body away so I could, once again, try and grab the book I so desperately needed. "Your turn" I added, after a moment of silence, realising that he was too stunned to speak. His recovery was lightning fast however, as he replied with "Hi Juliette, my name is Levi Knight" He paused, allowing his eyes to roam my body, slowly taking me in from head to toe. I looked him in the eyes, defiant in not allowing him to get to me, as my cheeks began to burn. "And I think you could qualify as one of the most beautiful girls I have ever laid eyes on" he continued smoothly. I couldn't think of a smart remark in response to what he had said so I mumbled a "fuck off" before returning to the bookshelf, I was sure my face turned crimson. "Just out of curiosity," Levi continued, now leaning against the bookshelf. I wasn't going to warn him about the fact that it was slowly tipping over. "You're single right?" I wasn't going to tell him that his assumption offended me either. Instead I replied with "Just out of curiosity" I said in a mocking tone "You're single now too, aren't you?" "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" "You're not gonna leave me alone, are you?" I muttered, attempting once more, to grab the book I so badly needed for English. "You're really hot, you know?" "You're really annoying, you know?"
