"Can't you just turn it on?" She huffed irritated tapping her foot anxiously. Her red bottom heals were too nice for a place with uneven pavement, tire marks, gas and oil all over the ground. She was humiliated being seen here in this sh*tty shop but she had no choice. She was already running late for her shoot. Kai stared back at her blankly and rolled his eyes in annoyance. The entitled impatient brat was giving him a major head ache. Such a beautiful f*cking headache this woman was and he just met her.

"I never wanted this- I never wanted you." I spat out at Xavier. His face crumpled up in anguish as he walked closer towards me. A part of me wanted to give in; to hold him and remove that look of pain from his face. But I couldn't - he wasn't mine to comfort, he wasn't mine to love. I backed up against the wall behind me, my eyes red and itchy with unshed tears. He placed an arm above my head and leaned in, "Don't say that. Stop trying to break my heart." His voice came out strained as he placed a hand under my chin, forcing me to look up at him. Multiple emotions ran through me at once as I stared into his eyes. Fear. Longing. Sadness. Before I could think of moving further away, he moved in one swift motion and pressed a heated kiss against my mouth. I sighed against his mouth as salty tears ran down my face. One thought raged louder than any other.

"Why are you here?" "You know why I'm here." "I don't." Carmin squirmed a bit under his hold. The feel of him was growing more natural, more normal. "You've been avoiding me." Leo moved his hand from the lock, to her chin, ensuring she had her eyes on him. Carmin squinched her eyebrows showing that cute confused expression Leo loved so much. "Can...Can we just forget about the kiss, It's driving me crazy." Her forwardness was something Leo would never get tired of. "Piccolina, I like you." "What?" "I like you and you have to deal with it. No more hiding out. No more running away." "I-" "I kissed you for a reason and I'm not gonna pretend it didn't happen." Leo's eyes grew a bit darker.

Halo Watters didn't know anything about the streets. He knew the stories people told in church. The prayer requests whispered after service. The names mentioned when someone asked the congregation to pray for a family that lost a son. But Halo had never stood in a room where guns were part of a conversation. Never watched men settle problems with fear instead of words. His world had always been built around faith, patience, and the belief that people could change if they wanted to. He believed in forgiveness. In grace...In second chances. Princess Midnight didn't know anything about that world. Not the way Halo did. Church to her was something people went to when they wanted to feel better about things they had already decided to do. Faith sounded nice in theory, but in the world she grew up in, survival mattered more than sermons. Kingston Midnight didn't raise her to believe someone else would save her. He raised her to protect herself. To control situations before they got out of hand. To make decisions quickly. To never show hesitation in a room full of men waiting for a sign of weakness. Halo believed people deserved mercy. Princess believed mercy could get you killed.

Malika Danai is pressure. Friendly, social, and loved by all, Malika thrives in college and is often seen as a mirage - seemingly real and attainable but disappears when approached. She's a party girl to the core. Loves to drink, flirt, and explore with her best friends, Ayana and Isabella. Her beauty is undeniable. With curly black hair cascading over her shoulders and golden-brown skin that glows no matter where she's at, Malika's presence is impossible to ignore. Her dark brown eyes often sparks with mischief, and her full two-toned lips often curves into teasing grins that hints at secrets she rarely shares. Malika excels at a lot of things but she was never the study type. She prayed the night before exams and hoped that her grades would at least give her a passing score and somehow, that always worked. Until now... Her grades are barely holding on- good enough to pass, but not good enough for a sorority like the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). She wants to join. No she needs to. It's the only way she can prove to her mother that she's worth it. And she'll do whatever it takes. Even if it means casting her pride aside to get help from the boy who loathes her existence. Meanwhile... Theo Sinclair is a weapon. An academic weapon that nobody can beat. Coming from an old money family where the expectations and bars are set high, Theo surpasses them all and is often pushed towards greatness by his family. Yet he has a big flaw: boredom. Because of his uncaring attitude towards everything and everyone around him, Theo is often alone. Deliberately avoiding attention and validation from peers; he thrives in the silence and rhythm of his own scheduled routines. He has only one rule; 'Never let myself feel things I can't control.' To him, parties are ratchet and vile. An enigma vastly contrasting his reverence for solitude, silence, and carefully ordered thoughts. So when he's pushed into an unwanted arrangement, he resents the intrusion because slowly, his rule...
