That's not a good start for a relationship." She said watching him for his reaction. "Who says there's a certain way to start a relationship? I understand that family comes first, even education. But if I could see or talk to you for an hour at least, I'll be fine with that." She was still unsure, "I still don't know.. why me though?" "Cause I want you. I claimed you the moment I saw you." "I'm not an object." "You're not, but believe me beautiful when I say you're mine. And I always get what I want." * Same thing as my other stories, there is very heavy sexual tension and content. I don't drag out feelings for two people who care for each other. This is a fictional story so some info may not be accurate. Enjoy!Complete

Kimberly had made a lot of friends in her life. She loved them all and she always felt loved when she was with them. It was like a whole group of misfits, who were all very different from each other and that's why they completed each other perfectly. She felt like she didn't need anybody else than her friends. That is, until her mother says that all her friends are girls. Kimberly never noticed this, because she didn't think it was that big of a deal. But, now that she thinks about it, her mother is right, she only has girls as friends and not a single 'guyfriend', as her mother likes to call it. She ignores it though and just moves on from it, because it's nothing and not at all something major. Until she meets a boy who is just as weird as she is, who drags his friends in her life and turns it upside down. Especially his best friend causes a huge spin in her life. ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ A/N: Just saying, most if this story will happen in the beautiful city of... *drum roll* Amsterdam!

I live nowhere near Amsterdam, more to the east in The Netherlands, about 2 hours driving away, but it makes no difference.Complete
