He leans in closer to me and I take a step back, hitting the pool table. "Lynn" he breathes, "One game, that's all I ask for" he looks into my eyes, scanning them for...something. "One game and if I win...I get to kiss you" he places his hands on my hips and I instantly melt into his touch. Flashes of the last time he touched me invade my mind and leave me wanting more. So much more. "And if I win?" I try to steady my voice, keeping my gaze in his. "If you win...we get to do whatever you want" he traces circles on my waist, under my shirt. Seeing my confusion at his words, he explains further, "If you want us to kiss...we will. If you want me to stay away...I will. It's whatever you want. Your choice Lynn" My choice? I want him in so many more ways than one but he's not good for me. I shouldn't crave him this much but I do. Oh man, I do. "Okay, let's play" -- Going 4 hours away from home for college has left Jackie to learn to be her own self without her past haunting her. Never having this much freedom before she struggles to learn how to form close friendships with her roommate and the girls across the hall. And you can't forget her troubled past of her absent father and her overbearing mother who is the reason for Jackie's need to leave her hometown. Adding 4 guys from a popular band around campus doesn't help, but adds to Jackie's issues, especially when the lead singer can't make up his mind whether he wants her or not. - All photos and songs used in the story are not mines and all rights go to the artists. if there is an issue please let me know and I can remove it. :) This story contains mature content This story was originally titled 'lust or love' but I revamped it.
