"Come on, be one hundred percent honest. What do you think of me?"
He stared at her for a moment with a small smile on his face as they continued to hold hands.
"I think that you're fake and that you don't know who you are yet. I think the way you treat people is horrible. I also think that you use your looks to get whatever you want. But, underneath all of that, I think deep down, you're a good person. So, sure, you're pretty, but you're not beautiful. If you want me to play your game, I will. But remember, you're not the only one who knows how to play."
Keri gaped at him, with her eyes wide and mouth open. No one had ever spoken to her like that. Not even him. Her heart slowed down and she was at a loss for words.
He still held that small smile on his lips while he watched her reaction.
She closed her mouth and stood up straighter, regaining her composure.
"Fine. But remember: it's my game and I can change the rules whenever I want," she smiled.

No Broken-hearted girl (Crushing Hard Series Book 2)
Dear: Diary 02/04/2013 Then Kevin smiled at me. And I felt my heart beat for the first time in a very long time. All he did was smile, and suddenly this very dead heart of mine started beating very fast. The beating was so loud, I felt it ringing in my ears, and reverberating all over my body. His eyes bore into me, and I felt my cheeks heat up. Everything faded around me, I forgot that I was in class, and that there was a lecturer infront prattling on about Business Management. Everyone just ceased to exist. I don't know what it was about him, he wasn't the most handsome guy I'd ever seen, he wasn't the best dressed, but it was the confidence in his smile. His lips had curved into a closed lip smile that spoke so many things. I don't know what it was saying, but it was saying something and I had a feeling that he knew that his smile was bringing this girl back to life. I felt the inkling of a spark of attraction(okay, it wasn't an inkling, it was a whole lot of attraction), my back straightened and my body quivered with excitement. No, Diary! Not THAT kind of excitement, I mean the kind of excitement you feel when there's someone you know could be watching you and when there's someone new to crush on. I'd been floating around for so long, trying to avoid feeling anything because I didn't want to deal with the heartache of losing Scott and now on a random Tuesday afternoon, I was slammed back down to earth and I was suddenly experiencing all sorts of emotions. And then one thing became crystal clear... I was broken-hearted girl no more.Complete
Riley and Devin
"How many romance books do you read?" Devin asks me. I shrug. "I like them," I say. I keep browsing, running my fingers along the spines. "So, you like romance then?" he asks me. I nod. "What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask. I point above my head, my back's pressed against the bookcase. He locks his gaze on mine and reaches over me to grab the book I asked for. "Thanks." I don't move and neither does he. Riley and Devin have been best friends forever-since Kindergarten. It's Senior year of high school, now. And it's always been simple, Riley's got his back, he's got hers.

I Hate Football Players
Football players are assholes. I know - my brother is their king. Older and annoyingly overprotective, he's the star quarterback at Santa Cruz High School. I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players.

My Obsession #2
There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.Complete

Daisies for Delilah
C O M P L E T E D Previously called: They Met On A Sunday ☙❦❧ "Beautiful," he mumbled to himself as he studied the way her hair fell down her shoulders. How her cheekbones sat. How her eyelashes brushed her brow bone. Everything about her. "Hmm?" she sounded out. She heard what he said, but refused to believe he was saying it about her. She was probably hallucinating. She shook her head to try and clear her mind. He watched her in amusement. "Um sorry," she mumbled, "I think I'm hearing things." She laughed awkwardly, letting her eyes stray from his face and look at anything else she could possibly look at. "No you weren't," he corrected her. "You heard right." She lifted her head in surprise and he was already smirking. The glint in his eyes told her that he wasn't lying either. Her heart swelled and she bit her lip instinctively. He groaned. "Fuck Delilah don't do that," his eyes darkened as he admired her plump lips, waiting for the moment he could kiss them. "For my sake." ☙❦❧ A story about a girl who thought she loved a boy; a story about a boy the girl didn't love. ☙❦❧ #1 in the Bouquet Bunch Short Story. Cover by @xtruebeautyx Copyright ©Complete

You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine.
