Selcouth Infatuation
This romance-drama book begins with an 18 year old girl trying to adjust to her college life all while wanting to fulfill her curiosity about the outside world. Don't get her wrong, she knows all about it but doesn't know what it feels like. She never really got herself out at risks to encounter it. But when there is curiosity, there is fear of an unknown territory.
Nonetheless, college is different, isn't it? It's more than just asking a classmate to pass a love letter, it's more than just trying to show your feelings rather than confessing, it's more than just giving them they're favorite type of flowers, it's more than just asking them to prom and picking them up to dance, and it's more than just a crush.
It's bigger than anyone on this earth and some have taken advantage of that. With the power of manipulation, anyone can be tricked of it, yes? So why doesn't she give it a try? Better to try than regret.
However, because of a complicated relationship with her family, a cliché wave of fear of trust stops her. Can one person really demolish all the built up walls she built? What about two? Three? Four? Will she crumble? Or will she push them away even more?
With a mindset of independence, she believes it is all pain. Nonetheless even with such a view of the thing called love, doesn't one crave even a little?
So can all the years of trying to get her, from college, from when she got a job and while working, can all those years of proving sincerity and nothing but the truth.. will she give it a thought? a chance? or can she resist? will she finally give in? will she finally fall after so long?
But I think the better question is..
Will they wait any longer?

I let my gaze search him. From his feet, to his chest, to his face. It all seemed perfect to me, but there was something else deep down inside this stranger.
"Why are you here?" I stood on my toes and tried to look taller compared to him. He rose an eyebrow.
"My sister, she's here." He paused, "Somewhere."
"Oh," I frowned and look to my shoes.
"Why are you here?" I felt his breath on my forehead.
"Me?" I placed my finger on my chest. I nodded and looked up to meet his gaze. It was hard not to get lost in his eyes. Beautiful.
"I need space," I began, but I didn't know how to finish, I sighed. "To find myself."
