"Let me love you. Be mine forever"he whispers quietly. His eyes glimmer, glimmer with hope.
''I don't want to be another"
"'Another'?"
"Another yes, I said another. Another one of your man-whore stories."
He leans back laughing.
"I have wanted you to myself, since what ? Grade five , six ?"
"Mhm.."I plead for more. And he gives me more.
"I have wanted you to me mine, no one else's. You see, I get jealous quite easily. So I tried to get your attention, fill the void. With other girls"
Okay I can't help but smile a bit. I sit back and think of how to deal with this. Suspense.. dun dun duuuun.
"I will leave you with suspense."
He cocks his head and looks at me funny.
I peck his cheek and run away. I hear him running after me .
"APRIL.."
"Jonathan"
"Wh..what now"
"I. Will make you a deal."
He nods desperately.I raise my hand and nod my head to confirm, to myself, that I am going to do this.
"If you truly love me. You'll wait a month and a half. No other girls, no problems, no bullshiting me. "
He nods and smiles. "You be yourself, from now till you die, I will do this"
I smile. "Deal bitch".
April and John are struggling to meet each other in their differences.
Working on a project for school, they learn the true selves of each other. He isn't a tough ass, but a big softie. She isn't an innocent girly girl, but a hilarious insane tomboy.
"Not the typical cliche teen fiction"
"You're hooked from the get go. Pretty much similar to when you can't stop eating till the last slice of pizza, or have the eagerness to pee, but can't because you're scared that if you stop reading you'll miss the intensity each word brings."
"There isn't even a word good enough to describe this book. I'm speechless."

"Please Lexa?" Elle looks at me, "Just fill in my spot for ten minutes."
At that moment I was calm, what could go wrong with running a checkout isle for ten minutes? As it turns out, everything.

"Why are you checking me out?" His voice questions.
Even his voice is the sexiest thing I've ever heard.
Not to mention the broad shoulder, killer jawlined boy it came from.
"I wasn't, I swear!" My cheeks blush ferociously. How the hell did he notice? In fact I'd always thought I was pretty stealthy.
He just chuckles and looks at me, a rambling mess, "Yes you are."
"Okay, alright, you know what-" I pause trying to pick up the pieces of my shattered dignity from the floor, "Maybe you shouldn't come in here like a fracking ambercrombie model and then on top of that blame a poor little innocent girl for looking-"
"I meant those. You're checking me out." He gestures to the items laying across the counter and the scanner in my hand.
Oh shit.
Let me just repeat that for a moment now.
Oh shit.
