"Why is it so hard for you to believe me when I say that I love you?"
"Because you're my enemy. You walk around acting as if all of your choices are justified and you've done nothing wrong. Because you are a man, and men lie. It's the only thing they're good at. I refuse to be the stupid girl who believes any word uttered by someone so cruel."
His eyes blazed with anger and annoyance, but behind that anger was a spark of passion. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his chest, leaning his head towards mine. "Why is it then, that after all that nonsense, all I want is to kiss you?"

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter!

He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger.

I'm getting sick of hearing that. "I LOVE YOU!!" Janell looks at me with utter disgust "Why the heck did you scream it? Nobody wants to be shouted at Milo. Now take it from the top."
