The story is finished. Needs more editing.
I have received advice on how to improve it but will not have time for a while.
When I start making changes,
I will probably start at the last chapter and work my way back.

The team had put six players to a room but Chris was lucky enough to snag a corner bed away from the group, it was semi-private. He was all set to beg for her forgiveness but was pleasantly surprised when she answers her phone in a sheer pink lace dress. She props her phone up so she could sit on the bed and tease him relentlessly, she wanted to see just how far she could push him.* Amaiya and Chris have been together for almost six years, meeting on the first day of their freshman year. Although it should have been an easy fairy tale romance it was not, it was riddles with typical college life and a few scandals here and there. But now he was drafted to the pro's and she was starting on her third published novel, what does life have in store for these college love birds? *Hi all!

Bitter Heart √
Caden Miller. Hot, cynical, and notoriously labelled the bad boy of Crestmont High. Attention-seekers flirt with him. Idiots fight with him. The ones who know what's good for them, stay away from him. If you fight him, you know you'll lose soon. Short-tempered, mysterious, and those oh-so-hot looks. All of that was enough for a person to fall head over heels for him. If only he cared to give a shit about them. Not when he was also the youngest gang leader in New York City, with just one mission in mind: stop his equally cynical brother from ruining his life more than he already had. Skylar Anderson. Not a nerd. Or a cheerleader. All she cares about is her workaholic (and maybe even a little dysfunctional) parents, her adorable cat and her not-so adorable best friend, and her sleep. Quite literally. Living a normal and carefree life, trying her best not to flunk Physics, there wasn't anything more that she wanted. Until she receives a letter in her mailbox... ...and that normal, carefree life goes right above the clouds. . . .
