Newton needed an apple to discover the Law of universal attraction.
I needed Alex Carter to discover the attraction.
Alex Carter, THE BAD BOY. Do I need to say more? Probably not, because everyone knows him.
He's the typical bad boy with bad behavior, leather jacket, and that dark aura that makes almost every girl drool over him, along with the fact that he is strong, handsome, with brown hair, tattoos, and a smolder look that can set you on fire.
But he's also known for fighting, dealing drugs, vandalism, and so much more that make everyone fear him.
He screams Danger. He is Danger.
Me, Elena, on the other hand, I'm a nerd. Do I need to say more?
Well, there isn't much to say. Nobody knows me. I'm invisible.
I always play it safe and follow the rules.
I have two friends, and I've been bullied several times because I'm shy, awkward, clumsy, and I have good grades, attributes that don't really help in high school.
Everything separates us, or so it seems, yet an irresistible attraction pulls us together.
People will say 'opposites attract', but maybe we have more in common than we've thought, and that's what draws us together...
Like 2 free electrons, will our encounter result in a rare, beautiful, perfect balance, or will it cause a ravaging explosion?
Warning for strong language and mentions, and some steam in the chapters.... ;)

When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment.
One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention.
What could go wrong?

My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her.
Something about my touch must have given her courage.

The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train.
I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret.
☆Luca☆
Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy.
And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat.
