He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

He growls as he presses his face dangerously close, so close that his skin is pressed against my ear. The hairs on his moustache prick my skin like little needles as his hot breath run chills down my spine. "No. Please... don't! It hurts..." I cry as a single, silent tear slides down my cheek. My heart feels as if it will burst out of my chest any second now. His nostrils flare as he takes a deep breath before opening his eyes, which stare intensely at me."Will. You. Tell. Anyone?" He slowly hisses every word into my ear as if it means something that I don't know. "No, I promise... I won't. Just please... I beg you to stop." I cry, closing my eyes and biting my lip to stop myself from bursting into tears. "Good girl." He speaks unusually calm, has he done this to other people before? "I know who you are and I don't care, you just better not open your mouth to anyone, otherwise I will finish the job properly next time." He spits at me, turning away and leaving me stranded. ♥ Adrian Armstead is quiet but is known to be the cities big "bad boy" who doesn't let anyone get into the way of his life whilst Angel Heavens is the total opposite.
