"Oh? Couldn't think of a better pick up line?"
"Damn, caught out but I've got plenty of pick-up lines" I bet he does with a face like that.
"Fire away." Liana would be proud.
"So besides from being sexy, what do you for a living?" This time I'm the one to laugh, well more like snort. Jesus, Lexi.
"That was terrible!" he fakes a hurtful look and puts his hand on is heart.
"You wound me. Let me try again." He clicks his tongue and thinks for a moment. "Ah, I've got one. I was wondering if you could tell me: if you're here, who's running heaven?" he's smirking now.
"Okay, okay, that one was actually decent."

"So we're gonna drive up there and then you're gonna kill me." I turned to him with a stunned look on my face and he frowned. "What No! We're gonna climb it." He exclaimed before reaching over in the backseat and handing me knee pads and elbow pads. "Oh so we're gonna climb it and you're gonna make me fall?" I question again, I'm finding myself so funny. "No. We're not even climbing all the way to the top." We got out the car and walked to the foot of the cliff and continued to talk. "Obviously, if you're gonna kill me half way up." Mid-tut, Zion pushed me aside and I stumbled laughing. "The joke is dead Lil." Oh the irony. And I'm still not done. "That's what it's gonna say on my gravestone." I pout dramatically and place a hand on my chest. Zion tries his hardest not to smile but in fact blurts out laughing."Two people climb a cliff how many come down?" "No Zion don't do it!" I yelled an covered my eyes,I still heard him chuckle 10ft above me. "Don't worry Darlin,I won't fall....I'm gonna jump." I lifted my head up just in time to see him jump off the wall and into the pool. Zion curse loudly saying "the water is fucking freezing." "C'mon in." I hope he's fucking Joking? I'm not getting in there, not a chance. Zion approached me, his body dripping wet and he held me close to him."Forgive me." He whispered,I raise my eyebrow at him but don't get to ask my question and instead I am thrown into the water. "Zion!" I squeek as I land,he comes waltzing back into the pool and immediately approaches me. Zion grips my waist tightly and keeps us both a float because he can actually touch the floor. Screw being small. "Like I said,forgive me." His eyes look into mine and I turn my head downwards refusing to make any further eye contact. Z's smirk tells me this isn't gonna last long. Fingers skim against my cheek, chests pressed against Each other and lips slowly hovering. Then it happened again,no warning,no stupid joke, it just happened. Zion King kissed me.Complete

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right.

What do you want ?" I questioned, staring deeply into his brown orbs, reminiscing how I used to get lost in them so easily. "Oh stop this act Jade, you're smarter than that. You know exactly what I want." He said, stalking closer, his voice smooth as silk, yet has a bit of a rough tone to it , as he placed his hand on on my cheek, and his thumb softly traced my bottom lip, causing a jolt of excitement to travel throughout my body, which I instantly scolded myself for. I shouldn't be affected by him, not anymore. "Well you can't have me!" I slapped his hand away, then pushed him causing him to stumble backwards. I then quickly grabbed my purse, and pulled out my taser. I pointed it towards him as I said "get out! GET OUT!" He seemed surprised for a second but then his face relaxed, as a smirk took place on his lips, he took a few steps towards the door then turned and said "Don't worry Jade, I will have you. Whether you want to or not, I will do whatever it takes to it happen. Mark my words Jade Christina Reaves, you will be mine, and that is a promise."Complete

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.Complete
