I breathed in his sweet cinnamon and autumnal scent, relishing in the way his lips moved with mine, his sensual touch as his hand moved to the small of my back.  A euphoric symphony seemed to crescendo from the silence as we kissed, complemented by the sparking fairy lights and the candle's fragrant aroma. 

We pulled away gently, like two dancers at the end of a ballroom waltz. Jacob was panting, and I was sucking in deep breaths to refill my lungs. 
'Jacob...!' My soft exclamation contained a hodgepodge of emotions - shock, guilt, ecstasy and betrayal. These emotions ripped through me like a whirlwind. 
'Shit, shit, shit. I'm sorry. I couldn't control myself.' Jacob combed his fingers through his hair in an agitated manner. I let out a groan, flopping onto my bed with a pillow over my face.

He was about to say something but I cut him off. "And if you so much as make my friend cry, I'll give you a black eye myself. Don't even think about breaking her heart... you will be a dead man." With that I got up. A dramatic exit was in order to show him just how serious I was. But hey! It's me. I don't get what I wish for and I ended up tripping on the carpet end, just as I was about to get to the door. So much for that. And just like the last time I fell, my face didn't get to keep its appointment with the floor. His arm was wrapped around my stomach and he pulled me hard against his chest. So hard that I managed to hit him and we ended up falling on the sofa together. Now isn't that a nice and compromising position you got yourself in? This can't get any worse. I tried getting up but I just ended up turning into him and found my face inches from his. He looked at me. He looked good and my hormones decided it was time to end a dry spell and started dancing about inside me. Wrong timing muthafvckers. Of course they didn't listen. I found myself wanting to kiss him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sia Williams never expected anything out of the ordinary from life.

On a early Sunday morning; Echo is getting ready to head to her parents house to spend the day with her family. There's a knock on the door. Echo opens it, surprised at the smiling figure of a male looking down at her. "Hi! Is Izzy here?! I have to drop off her notes!" The boys says holding up a yellow note book with Izzy's classic property tag written on it, 'Izzy Is Baby'. "She's not here right now. But you can set it on her desk over there." I say while moving and letting him pass. I close the door and walk to my bed, grabbing the CD's I bought for my younger sisters Evie. He walks to the door and turns the handle but it doesn't open. I turn around when I hear him struggling with the door. "The door won't open." He says pointing to the handle. "Yeah it's been weird the past week or two. You just have to yank on it." I say as I walk up to it to open it. But a loud static sound comes over the speakers. "Hello students of Clover University. It seems we've had a glitch in the locking system. We're not sure how long it will take to repair. So unfortunately you're stuck in the dorms until further notice. We're sorry for the inconvenience." The speakers make a beeping sound then go quiet. I sigh before throwing my bag on my bed and plopping down. I pull out my phone and call my parents, telling them what is happening and that I won't see them until they fix the issue in the system. "Well then. Guess I'm stuck with thee Echo Short!" The boys smiles joyfully before marching over to Izzy's bed and sitting down. "So you know my name but I don't know yours." I say looking at him. He chuckles. "Kai Wells! It's a pleasure to meet you!" He says happily. "Nice to meet you Kai Wells! I look forward to getting to know you buddy." I say with a faint smile before falling back into my bed and plugging in my earbuds. This is gonna be a weird... BOOK #1 IN THE SHORT SERIES (not sure when the other ones will be out or even if they'll be released)

-"They caught me this time, I don't think it'll be the last, you have to be prepared if you want to be with me. Anything can happen at any moment of the day or night. Do you understand?"- I nodded my head. -"I would give my life away for you Jacob. All that matters to me is that we're together and I won't back out on you. I love you way too much to leave you. I'll learn how to fight by your side. I'll be your ride or die."- I replied. _______________________________________________ -"Who the hell are you?"- I asked the man that was sitting two seats beside me. -"Well hello to you too."- He smiled sarcastically. -"Where is Jacob?! What did you do to him?!"- I asked desperately. _______________________________________________ -"I feel hopeless without him! He means everything to me! And you took him away!"- I went towards him and pushed him. -"He doesn't care about you! He only wants to use you as a tool."- He raised his voice at me. _______________________________________________ I'd die for you, Jacob.
