London's Guard Is Falling Down

A tragedy happens in London King's family that leaves him parentless. Nevertheless, a close family friend named Ezra Haven, takes him in and lets London live with him and his family.

Everything is fine, until London has to deal with Ezra's oldest daughter; Paris Haven.

London is a pretty reserved, laid-back person. However, don't mistake his quietness for cowardliness. He'll defend himself and put someone in their place if need be. He's never had to deal with someone like Paris Haven, his small trouble, the first person who's ever been able to take him out of character. Also the first person he's ever taken down his wall for.

Paris Haven has always had a reckless mouth. Sometimes she doesn't think about what she says before she says it. She's never had someone really check her until she meets London King - the attractive enigma sleeping in the room next to her's.

Not knowing anything about London has Paris wondering who really is this discreet guy living in the same house as her.

"You want me to say I'm sorry or something? I'm sorry for ruining your beauty sleep."

"You don't have to apologize. Just don't do it again." He walked out.

"Yeah, okay, bye, London. Bye, bitch."

I heard his footsteps coming back to my room.

"Listen, stop calling me names as soon as I walk away."

"I call everyone bitch," I lied.

"I'm not everyone, so I expect you to call me by my given name. I don't care that you're disrespectful with everybody, you're not going be disrespectful with me."

"Okay."

"Okay," he concluded. I stuck my middle finger up when he turned his back.
