Meet Lilac Greyson, strong-minded yet shy, witty but oblivious, ambitious and confused.
A step that resembled the flight of stairs in ancient Chinese monastries, Endless!
A decision that reminded her of what lay behind, and what is to be be layed for the future.
Add up her passion towards the one sport she loved! Football.
What she was to do with what remained in the year she finished high school, was a planned maze.
Bundled up with all this was her 4 year old sweet and innocent niece, for whom she was a tutor, a mentor, a guide.
Little does she know, coming along her way are a bunch of people she never thought she would meet. Knowing her she never realised she did, until she lost them. Or did she?

Sweet as Syn
She's heart-meltingly sweet. He's deliciously sinful. Greyson Decker is your typical jock; God in the bedroom, king on the field. His brooding glare and shredded body terrifies as much as it turns on, and that gets him as much attention with women as it does with NFL recruits. Synamie Blake is not your typical cheerleader. Forced to be hardened by her past, she is tough and smart; two things that don't get you far in the college social scene. When their worlds collide, Greyson becomes a protective friend who ups her social rank and pulls her into his world of parties, great friends, better teammates and something much, much dirtier. I mean, her name does rhyme with sin... Syn hated the idea of being under Greyson's daunting wing, especially right after escaping the claws of her past, but he is nothing like his bad boy reputation perceived. He rips her from her nightmares, she seeps into his soul, and they become so hooked, not even the entire span of a football field could keep their burning passion in check. But their path to becoming friends to lovers might be harsher than the fire between them. *** He looks irate, and for some reason, that makes me burst into hysterics. "Do you get enjoyment from my pain, you demon child?" That only makes me laugh harder. "You're a grumpy old man," I inform him. I'm grinning up at him, and I'm glad he has my arms pinned to my sides because I want to pull his lips into a smile, and right now he'd probably bite my fingers off if I did that. And then he says, with a dark glare and a deep scowl, the sweetest words I have ever heard. "Fine. If I have to go infertile for you to smile at me like that, then so be it." And that's when I knew, in this weird, hazy, drunken moment, that Greyson Decker was undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened to me. *** Cover model: Chase MattsonComplete![Blue Ridge Lake [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/325033631-256-k592707.jpg)

Nothing to lose
My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink. Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't. Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what. Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?Complete
