"Rose," his voice caressed my name as it fell off his lips.
"That's not my name, and I think you should let go of me," I breathed as I put a hand on his chest to push him away. His whole body was warm with fever.
"No," he whispered.
He leaned in close. His hand was inching closer towards my face, coming to rest on my cheek.
He ran a finger along my lips.
"A lot of things about you have changed, but your lips are the same as I remember," his breath was warm.
He leaned even closer towards me, his hand left my cheek and was now in my hair. The gap between us had finally closed.
His lips were warm and soft. He tasted like the brandy he had earlier tonight.
I always dreamed of my first kiss with him, I just never thought he'd be drunk.
***
The girl got the makeover of a lifetime.
The boy lost the girl he loved, so he vowed to get her back no matter what.
They both have enemies. He more than her.
Take away her parents, add in a cool uncle, evil aunt, and four years abroad in Spain, and you'll get the drama of a lifetime. Not to mention two love triangles, twins separated at birth, bandits, catfights, and a friend who'd fight anyone for you.

"No," I almost laughed out of frustration looking back at him, "you really dont." "****, your kind, funny, family-oriented, and not to mention beautiful as hell." He smiled which caused me to blush uncontrollably. He grabbed me in a hug which I didn't want to respond to but did. Eventually I had to let go. "I can't do this with you *****, I'm not the type of girl you want to be with," I said trying to get out of his grasp but couldn't. He holds me too tight for me to escape. "**** you are the exact girl I wanna be with." He said looking at my lips. I tried to back up but he instead pulled me closer with his arms that were already behind my back as my hands stay stationary in front of his chest giving me distance and support. "*****, let me go." I whisper trying to gather my thoughts that were all over the place. "Never" he responded bringing his lips in quickly and kissing me. --------- Don't wanna ruin the surprise so the names are replaced with '****' --------- Love, loss, power, failure.

He takes two step forward, closing the gap between us and his hand reaches up and seize my throat, forcing me against the wall. His grip wasn't soft and loving, but filled with pain and bruising truth. He leaned closer and I felt his hot breath fanning my ear. "Not good enough, princess." My hands started shaking, I fisted my skirt, trying my best to compose myself and stop that lone tear that's threatening to escape. His rough palms gripped my face up to meet his raging eyes. I can see the bottled up rage and frustration bubbling to the top, threatening to spill over. But I also see that burning desire, the same one I'm fighting against. He wants me. But he also hates me. Two conflicting emotions together, battling inside him. "You're angry." "No shit, Sherlock." I can tell he wants to hurt me, physically, emotionally, just as much as I have hurt him.

His harshness falters a little, surprised at my words. My trembling hands slide against his hard chest, feeling the heat of his boiling rage.

"All's fair in love and war, or some shit, right?" He said, his smirk drawing to a slight sneer as he padded towards the open balcony. He rested his hands on the guardrail before letting out an exasperated sigh, thunder rolling behind it. The rain cascaded onto the tile in sheets, blowing the soft cream curtains back and forth. "Or some shit." I smiled, walking towards him. I could see the tension grow in his back and shoulders, his struggle evident. I placed my hand gently on his shoulder, trying my best to reassure him. I could feel his breathing hitch slightly at my touch; his response was all I needed to reassure me I was doing the right thing. My touch was welcomed. I leaned my head on his back, wrapping my hands around his waist. I longed to take away his pain; I hated seeing anyone this upset. She wasn't worth his time.
