ɢᴀᴍᴇꜱ → ᴄᴀʀʟɪꜱʟᴇ ᴄᴜʟʟᴇɴ [DISCONTINUED]

- ᴄᴀʀʟɪꜱʟᴇ -

I've never been the type to get serious and settle down. Yet, whenever I see Esme, I always consider it even when it daunts me.

A drunken night with the boys doesn't help when I'm suckered into a coin toss dare that flips all of my romantic intentions, and fears, up in the air.

Now, for six weeks, I'm stuck with the girl who lives in the shadows. The girl no man pays attention to. The girl no man wants.

- ᴊᴏᴅʜᴀ -

I've been in love with him for over a year yet I've never made myself an object of attention to Carlisle - much preferring to admire every aspect of him from afar.

When clubbing with the girls somehow lands me on his radar, I'm swept away by his charm. His humor. His relentless passion.

Now, I'm with the man who lives in the limelight. The man every girl fawns over. The man every girl wants.

But there's a part of me in disbelief because there's no way a guy like him could be into a girl like me.

Right?
