"Fall for you?" He scoffed as if it was the most unbelievable thing in the world.
"It wouldn't take long until you fall for my irresistible charms, Sutton." I retorted.
"Wanna bet on it?" He smirked, confident that he's incapable of losing. "The wedding is in 4 months, after we graduate. Whoever says 'I love you' first within 4 months loses. Winner takes bragging rights and to break the loser's heart."
I thought about the pros and cons.
If I win, I get to break the playboy's heart and possibly change him.
Plus, bragging rights!
But if he wins, he gets to break my heart.
Well, what's life without taking risks?
I slowly closed the gap between our bodies and leaned my head towards his face, our lips a few inches apart. His Adam's apple slowly bobs down, his bland black eyes not breaking eye contact.
"Bring it on, Rome Sutton."
London Archer was daring and mischievous. She will fight for something until the end and never backs out in a challenge.

Infuriated by the sudden announcement, she attempted to run away.
Only to be caught by her soon-to-be groom himself, Rome Sutton.
Rome Sutton was undeniably quite the charmer in Westmoure High Academy.
He was intrigued when London didn't swoon for his looks and charm.
The giant ego he has, he proposed a bet to London.
No strings attached
But when two rocks clash, sparks come flying.

Queen of Midnight
"You can't tell anyone." His words hit me hard, but I was ready for them. I grimaced slightly, but did my best to hide it as I squeezed my arms in response. "Fine," I said, nodding at him but not wanting to meet his eyes. I was met with silence. "Was there anything else?" I bit off, my tone a little more irritated than I intended it to be. He raised an eyebrow at me, and I felt almost naked as he studied me. His expression wasn't completely cold, but I couldn't figure out what else it held. "I wasn't expecting this," he admitted eventually, as if this were the easiest topic in the world. "I didn't ask for it to happen right now. In fact, the timing is rather terrible. And I'm sorry for that. But no one can know about this, okay? No one." "I said fine," I snapped. "Why don't you just reject me and put me out of my misery? I guarantee I can do it again." He blinked, taken aback by her sudden outburst. "You... already had a mate? And you were rejected? Who is he?" "You don't need to know," I replied, tilting my head to one side as I narrowed my eyes at him. "If you want to keep secrets, then so can I."

Broken Girls And Broken Boys
C O M P L E T E D "Date me," he spins the whiskey around in the glass and fixes me with a smirk. I roll my eyes the moment the words roll off his tongue. "Are you really that desperate?" I scoff in response, fighting back the ever prominent blush. His smirk widens as my face flushes red and he leans over the countertop towards me. I step back. "Name your price," he replies, his words cool and smooth like ice cream. Only I would reference food at a moment like this. Anger rolls around in the pit of my stomach; I may not have money but I have morals. "You can't buy people, Grant," The words fall out of my mouth and he recoils as if slapped. I'm glad. Stupid rich boy and his player ways. "Bet I can," I resist the urge to slap the smug look of his face and scoff again. "Right," I drag out the word, rolling my eyes. I step away from the counter and turn my back on him, desperate to leave. But he speaks again. "Date me. Two months. If you fall for me for my money, I win. If I fall for you for who you really are, you win." I consider this for a moment. I have nothing to loose and really not much to gain. But I'm so desperate to put the asshole in his place that I can't resist. I'm a sucker for a bet. "Deal."Complete
