"You know what I think?" he looked down at me, "I think that I'm making you flustered."
"What's gotten into you?" I laughed breathlessly, "you're Rowan Abello. In case you haven't noticed, anyone with that last name could never have that effect on me."
"Oh yeah?" he taunted.
I hummed in response.
"So if I did this," his face - most importantly, his lips - inched towards mine, "you can still think straight?"
Holy shit.
Loraine Antonio hates Rowan Abello. Rowan Abello hates Loraine Antonio. They were more than just enemies - they were sworn rivals that only shared the blood-curdling haze of red whenever they saw each other.
Yet somehow, life seems to resent both of them as they're found in a situation that requires them to zip up for the sake of their families and companies.

C O M P L E T E D "Date me," he spins the whiskey around in the glass and fixes me with a smirk. I roll my eyes the moment the words roll off his tongue. "Are you really that desperate?" I scoff in response, fighting back the ever prominent blush. His smirk widens as my face flushes red and he leans over the countertop towards me. I step back. "Name your price," he replies, his words cool and smooth like ice cream. Only I would reference food at a moment like this. Anger rolls around in the pit of my stomach; I may not have money but I have morals. "You can't buy people, Grant," The words fall out of my mouth and he recoils as if slapped. I'm glad. Stupid rich boy and his player ways. "Bet I can," I resist the urge to slap the smug look of his face and scoff again. "Right," I drag out the word, rolling my eyes. I step away from the counter and turn my back on him, desperate to leave. But he speaks again. "Date me. Two months. If you fall for me for my money, I win. If I fall for you for who you really are, you win." I consider this for a moment. I have nothing to loose and really not much to gain. But I'm so desperate to put the asshole in his place that I can't resist. I'm a sucker for a bet. "Deal."Complete
