"Come with me."
I laugh and wipe the beads of sweat off my forehead.
"And why would you think I'd go anywhere with you?" I ask.
He fills his cheeks with air and glances at the time on his watch, before slipping his hands slowly into his pocket.
"I might have told everyone at the party that I'm engaged..."
I chuckle and sprinkle extra flour on the dough before continuing to knead it.
"And you want me to come with you to see if she's a good match for you? Since when did we become acquaintances?" I laugh.
He lets out a guilty laugh.
"No I... I told them I'm engaged to you."

Renee's River | √
"Does he know your name?" "Nope," I shook my head. "But hey, it was like love at first sight," I said dreamily before snapping back to reality and looking at my best friend who gave me a weird look. "You have to help me," I said. "We're not going to the clothes store with me disguised as a girl again." "No," I groaned. "I want you to help me get him to notice me." My best friend's mouth opened then closed again before his eyes dropped to my boobs, "I mean, we can always start with that." "What? No!" I crossed my arms over my chest while he laughed like the idiot he was and I rolled my eyes, then let out a breath, "Come on, just do this for your Firefly." ▬▬▬▬▬ There was only one reason Renée McCann enjoyed her job at the bakery.

"Okay, then allow me to offer a pact." He says, immediately making me a mixture of terrified and suspicious. "You say that I'm a jerk; a bully. So, why not change that my way?" "I don't like where this is going-" I begin, but he cuts me off. "Just listen." He comes closer, seating himself next to me on the curb. "You've made me lose 3 hot dates, and in my books, that's unforgivable. There was Bunny, the girl at the party, the red headed girl from Geometry, and that Grateful Dead hippy chick from the parking lot." I start to feel uneasy, like Jake is going to make me do something I am not going to want to do. "I think that I deserve some fun." He suddenly notices my face and smirks. "Not that kind of fun." I let out a well-needed breath, not noticing that I was even holding my breath until now. "An agreement," He smiles widely, liking whatever he has come up with. "Here's the rules." He hands me a piece of paper that he was keeping in his jeans pocket. I unfold it and stare at the messy handwriting. Player's can- Sweet talk Play fight Talk 24/7 Tell each other good morning and good night every day Take walks together Give each other nicknames Hang out with each other's friends Go on dates Talk on the phone all night long Hold each other Kiss Hug And whoever falls in love first, loses (Nobody can be dating anyone during this agreement or else they automatically lose) (Winner gets the opposite player to do anything they want them to do)Complete

ALESSANDRO
"Now since we are done with the introductions I have a question. Are you sure about this marriage?" I nodded "I am." He scoffed and leaned against the wall behind with hands in his pants pockets "Why? Because I have money?" What? "Are you impressed by this mansion?" I can be scared of Dad but he is no one to address me as a gold digger and say bullshit. "I don't care if you take me as a gold digger. You are no one who I am bound to explain anything to." I turned back to leave but he held my hand pulling me with a sudden force making our chest crashed against each other. He held my waist pulling me closer, suddenly again that feeling of nervousness filled me.

The Mutual Attraction (#3)
"I can't do this ! This is wrong !" she exclaimed loudly, trying to prove her point. "Miracle, I really don't have time for this. I am sure whatever was decided was decided for good. Now quit whinning like a baby and get to work. I don't want our professional lives to be clashing with our personal lives. The rest of the discussion on this topic can be completed at home." He said in an overly calm tone that sent chills down her spine. "Kayden ! How can you even agree to this marriage ? You don't even love me and you have a girlfriend already, for heaven's sake !" Miracle continued ignoring Kayden's demand. This wasn't right ! And she was going to prove it. She was going to make Kayden understand that there is no reason to put their lives on hold just because their parents thought they were perfect for each other. She didn't even feel anything for him other than a feeling of pure friendship. Kayden's giant figure looming over her brought her out of her thoughts. "My girlfriend can be discarded, Miracle. And once again, this discussion is over. Don't ignore my words, baby. I don't like to be ignored." His cool minty breath fanning her face and the fact that he had to literally squat down to whisper to her made her stomach do a weird flip. At that very moment, Miracle realised, that there might be a teeny tiny bit of a MUTUAL ATTRACTION between them. ************************************ This is the third installment in THE ATTRACTION series. To understand more about this story I suggest you read the second installation first. So you will know more about the characters. Other than that it can stand on it's own :) ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED !
