Complete!
Joshua Manfred is untouchable. He turns down every confession of love (or lust) and puts a quick stop to every fight, earning him the nickname Peacemaker. He is calm, cool, and always in control.
I, on the other hand, am a mess. People think I'm smart because I'm quiet and I read, a lot. But I am disorganized, always hungry, and I have almost no friends, mostly because I would rather read than talk to people. I am the last person someone like Joshua would think about.
Enter the group project. Most dreaded of all assignments. Will my heart survive a week working with the most wanted guy in school? Probably not, but it could be worse.
When a suave stranger comes to whisk me off my feet in decedent romance, things get worse and Joshua is NOT calm or cool about it.
Content warning: Cussing, school fights (non-graphic), steamy romance (again, non-graphic)
"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned.
"I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence.
"Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice.
"I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented.
Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying?
"You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door.
With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second.
"Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat.
...
He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before.
Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart?
