"I love you, Ashton" I whispered to his sleeping face, being careful so he doesn't hear. Quickly kissing him on the cheek, I run away knowing that he can't know, and he will never know. I'm in love with my bestfriend. "Diana?" Ashton's voice stops me. Tears threaten to fall down, but I push them away. "Yes?" "Could you please call Mel?" He replies. I nod and walk away.

Seven Minutes is being reviewed by an actual publishing reviewer and a published author, how exciting! *I will be editing the first few chapters of this story soon as they are quite cack in comparison to the rest, but until I have the time, I hope you can withstand their quality and enjoy the book as a whole* “I’ll make you a deal.” He whispered as his lips trailed soft kisses down my throat and along my collar bone. “I’ll help you get what you need, if you give me what I want.” My heart seemed to stop at his words, “What do you want?” My voice cracked as his hands gripped tighter to my hips, pulling me closer to him. His lips came up to rest barely a breath away from mine. “How badly do you need it?” He asked. I didn’t even have to think about it, “More than you know.” I replied.

❀❀❀❀❀❀ "That doesn't even make sense." I shook my head, bored out of my mind. "Does it have to?" He let a grim, fraction of a smile appear, before absurdly dismissing the conversation from the air with the flick of his mitts. Focusing back on the Patriots' game, he moaned in delight whilst crunching down on my hard earned Fritos. "My house, my rules. Go get me some macaroni." For once in a millennium, I didn't have a comeback. The bottom half of my jaw fell, and I stared at the bundle of malice curled up on the couch, just to make sure I was hearing right. He'd surpassed my plan. He found the loophole, the way around being made fun of by the other fitness jocks and most of the student body. 'Til next September, I am his slave. I thought I was a step ahead of him, but turns out, he was two steps in front of me the whole time. And he knew it. ❀❀❀❀❀❀ B E A U T I F U L cover art done by the talented and gorgeous @ElliMau Humor #35 Teen Fiction #52 12|2|13 © Copyright 2013 No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without the prior written permission of the publisher
