His eyes lingered on mine, and I didn't want to be the first to break contact. After a moment, I couldn't help but look away, taking a glance at the floor tiles, a mix of grey and coral. I looked back up and smiled at the growing grin on his face. He extended a hand out to me. "I'm Jenson."
I took it. "Cherie."

And now you're asking what you did?" I explained, wondering if he had forgotten. "What happened between us last night was a moment of weakness. I don't want to be seen with you. I'm sorry if I led you on." He spoke quickly, gathered his books, and left, leaving me standing there alone. I stood frozen, unable to move, my mind blank.

Chasing Sunshine
As I looked over at her, it struck me how beautiful she was. Her hair was blowing carelessly in the wind, a halo on her head. I had the oddest impulse to reach out and touch it. See if it was as soft as it looked. Her lips were curled into a soft smile that radiated warmth. I wondered who or what she was thinking of and my heart skipped a beat imagining her smiling for me. It's crazy how I never noticed how blue he eyes are. Or how her laughter sounds like summertime. It's strange how I never really looked at her. And suddenly I couldn't stop staring. - You saved me. He saved me. She saved me. I saved me. I loved the three of you. I love the three of you. - Love and Lust series, book one.Complete
