Charity has grown up on her own, afraid of the world and unsure of her place in it. Seth is a loner and a steady presence in her life after bailing her out of trouble more than a few times. He's willing to take the leap for her, but it's going to take time for her to figure out what she wants. Everything ebbs and flows, and everything can change in a single moment.

"So where does that leave us?" 
"Friends with benefits?" 
He smirked, his fingers curling around mine. He lifted my hand to his lips and kissed my knuckles, my palm, the inside of my wrist. "No thank you. I would like you to be my girlfriend." 
"What's the point?" I asked, trying not to focus on the soft pecks he was applying to my skin. "So we can go to the pizza parlor on Fridays and make out in the corner? Watch a movie and hold hands? Walk on the beach and talk about how difficult geometry is? Dating is dumb. We can be friends in public and do whatever we want to do in private. I don't like my private life being public anyway." 
He hummed against the top of my hand. "Are you struggling with geometry? I can help you with that." 
I swatted his knee. "That was not the point of that." 
"I'm just saying." He winked. "But no, I don't want friends with benefits. Because I want people to know we're together. I want people to know that if they need to find you, they should look for me. I want people to see how happy you are and know that I did that. I won't pretend you're just my friend in public if you mean more than that to me."

"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair. "You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice. Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!! "Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him. "Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes. "Is she-" "The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock. "Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped.

UNEDITED! Will edit soon :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What's going to happen?" I uttered, knowing he probably didn't hear me. "What do you mean? Happen to what?" he asked, running his hand through my hair and caressing my cheek sweetly. "To us?" I asked, feeling scared about the way he was going to respond. "What's going to happen?" I repeated my question but this time my voice gave away how worried I was. A single tear dropped onto Evan's palm and suddenly he had swept me up into his arms. I instinctively curled into a ball and hugged him tight, pressing my cheek against his chest and listening to his heart. "Nothing's going to happen Maria. I promise. I love you, so much. Don't worry," he pleaded rocking us back and forth slightly. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I ruined this moment," was all I could say as silent tears made their way down my cheeks and onto his shirt. "Shhh, it's alright. I don't know how it will all work out, but we will be together, forever. I promise," he assured me, pressing a kiss to my temple. I sniffled and wiped my eyes as I looked up at Evan. He was watching me with concerned, loving eyes and for some unknown reason that look only made me start crying again. This time however I was happy. I was crying with joy because I knew I had someone who I could rely on; someone who would never leave me, someone who would be by my side forever, someone who would stay, stay with me and stay for me, someone who would stay true to me and stay forever in my heart. ~~~~~~~ Maria and Evan meet quite unexpectedly and form a relationship that is stronger than either of them could imagine.

"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

Saying that I was shocked was an understatement. He wants to make me his fake girlfriend? Why Me? "Excuse me?" I ask, attempting to push him away. "You heard me. I want you to be my fake girlfriend." He said as his lips smashed into mine. Before I could do anything he pulled away. He walked to the driver's side of his car. He looked back at me and winked. "Think about it." He smirked. ***** Reed Summers is the type of girl you walk past in school. The girl you never notice.

And she would like to keep it that way. It's Reed's last year of high school or in her words her last year of hell. Nobody really noticed her, well, except for her two best friends and boyfriend and she is planning on keeping it that way.

Throw in some jealous ex-girlfriends, some typical high school queen bees, pizzas, coffee, blackmailing, a lot of food, a youtube marathon, anxiety attacks and what have you got? Complete and utter chaos. And how did this happen, if you may ask? Because The Bad Boy Saw Me Naked.
