- A Mutually Assured Attachment


A "kick-ass awesome idea". That was how Ally introduced the idea to me. A social experiment to determine the best relationship formatting and she wanted me - ME! Elowyn Jane Fitz-Simmons, quiet chemistry nerd extraordinaire - to join in. My response: not just no, but hell no!

Who needed that kind of romantic, I-look-into-your-eyes-and-instantly-fall-in-love rubbish in their life? Certainly not me. Did the idea of having someone to return home to at the end of the day peak a small interest in me? Yes. But that was the purpose of a cat. Something to care after, something to love, but nothing that required too much effort...Simple and easy. Perfect.

And, yet, somehow - although I pass all blame firmly onto Ally - I found myself not only interviewing candidates, but going on dates, moving in with three men and introducing my great-grandmother to my three new beaus.
Why? All because of a Mutually Assured Attachment. 

P.S. I need a new best friend. Any suggestions??

I've had the worst few months of my entire life, which led me to make the choice to move from Scotland to America. It wasn't an easy one, but I had to get away from all the bad memories. I found an apartment and a job. I wanted everything to be ready for when I arrived. I believed it would be a lonely time, but I was willing to deal with it. I didn't expect that on my first day at my new job, I would instantly connect with my new boss. The stranger I had seen in the coffee shop before I knew who he was. Jared makes me feel welcome from the second I introduce myself. There is a problem, though, no, two problems. First, he is gorgeous, and I find myself attracted to him. Secondly, he is a huge flirt, and I don't know how to deal with it. I can't get involved with another man. I make it clear to him, but I find myself spending time with him outside of the office, and it becomes harder to resist. I need a friend, and he is willing to be one, but being only friends isn't easy when chemistry and sexual tension are brewing between the two people involved. I don't want to be that woman. The one who starts something with her boss, but Jared is unlike any other man I have ever met, and he makes me feel things I haven't in a while. He seems to make me feel at ease and forget about all my worries, even for a moment. Am I in trouble, or do I have enough self-control to ensure we don't get past friends? The last thing I need in life is more drama or heartache. Cover By Star Child Designs.

But what will happen when she'll face the true devil? Will he break her or will gather her broken pieces of heart?? He- Ruthless, arrogant, cruel 25 years old handsome CEO of top multinational company and the King of underworld who'll ruin everything coming in his way.

Will she fix him or will run away from him like everyone else?? ----------------------------------------- "........now you may kiss the bride". I froze. I didn't want him to kiss me. I wanted to hide somewhere and never come back. Lucifer slowly turned me towards him. He lift up my veil and pulled my waist tightly until I was completely pressed against him. Then he whispered "welcome to my world, wife" and kissed me hard on my lips. It was more like a punishment kiss. I tried to push him but he bite my lips hard. Now tears were streaming down my face. After some minutes he released me and wipe my tears and kissed me on my forehead. People were clapping. Celebrating my doom.

It was supposed to be anonymous. Just some harmless, late-night messeges on a forum. No names. No photos. No real-life complications. She was GoldTrap-mysterious, sharp, and way too good with words. I was BlueInk-awkward, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for anything. But then she made me laugh. Then she made me think. Then... she made me feel things I really shouldn't be feeling for someone I've never met. I'm Quinn. Twenty-four. Screenwriter-in-training. Emotionally a little chaotic and basically there no reason an amazing woman like her would be falling for someone like me. I've played a lot of roles in my life. But never this one. ----------------------------------------------- Late at night, I started writing letters to a stranger on a private forum-just to feel something real. She calls herself BlueInk. She's young, clever, infuriatingly honest... and somehow, she sees right through me. She doesn't know I'm Juliette Delaney-Hollywood's favorite ice queen with a face on every magazine and a life that doesn't belong to me anymore. She doesn't know that when I type, my hands shake. That when I read her replies, I smile. That I'm craving her words more than I've ever craved the spotlight. And I don't know what will happen if she finds out who I am. Because if I tell her the truth, I might lose the one person who loves me for who I really am. Not the icon. Not the actress. Just... me. But if I don't? I'll never get to feel her say my name out loud.

*Insert dramatic music* Two best friends, normal right? Well not in this case. Love, wasn't a thing in neither of their lives. But when each other entered, it...was awkward..? A not so innocent blonde, and a very outgoing, annoying, brunette. Stuck between, just friends, or each other's love interests. What will they do? Will boys get in the way?, or were they always meant for each other... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Avery and I were walking the field, talking to each other, or should I say just her talking and me listening. We walk passed this tree then she stops. "Wait! Can we sit under this tree, it's kinda hot, and also I'm getting lazy." I smile at her. "Of course!" I say going under the tree and sitting down. She walks over as well, I pull my hand out to help her, she takes it and sits next to me. "Wow, such a gentleman" she mocks. I laugh at her joke. I love that she makes me smile.
