Beauty. Sarcasm. Brain.
Astrid Clinton has all those, except for the last one. Well, not so much of the last one as Astrid has her own definition of intelligence-her elegance.
For Astrid, beauty is smart. That's why she's the famous, newly crowned Miss Universe.
But when a threat from an unknown assailant threatens the safety-and life-of Astrid, her manager gave her an escort, a bodyguard.
At first, she was annoyed by his presence. But when she discovers he's not what he seems to be, she became drawn to him.
And who knows, perhaps he will be the very first man to win her heart, or so she thought...

Prophecy | George Weasley (COMPLETE)
"I like you George, but I can't" "Why not?" "Because I'm going to die" •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Astrid is not your typical Ravenclaw. She doesn't study, she isn't smart and she has gotten stuck out of the Common room way too many times. George Weasley fell for the girl the moment he saw her but what if that wasn't the first time he'd seen her? Or even fallen for her? Every story has a villain. Without a Villain there's no hero/ heroine. In this story our villain isn't a person but the concept of death itself. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ A/N I FOUND A LOT OF IDEAS FOR THIS BOOK ON PINTEREST AND TUMBLR. Unfortunately I couldn't list them, I'll try my best to give credit to as many as I can. So if you recognize something as headcannon or a writing prompt, it's probably from Pinterest or tumblr.Complete

Love with strings detached
I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on.

Someone Like Adam
"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart? ... #1 in GENERAL FICTION (23-05-2019) #1 in CHICKLIT (21-07-2019)Complete
