I wasn't what they call a "bad girl" but I wasn't great either..
I partied, drank, did a few drugs at parties, but never to the point where I was over my limit. I still liked to be in control of myself and my surroundings. I never let myself too close in intimacy or relationships, only close for the night and then never speak to them again. That was until i found myself at a party after a dramatic night of being talked down to by my parents, that caused me to get caught in a loop with him instantly. He was like an inhale of cocaine and I was hooked. He was a drug I knew wasn't good for me, but I just couldn't resist.. so I took that step forward, and was never able to turn back.

He suddenly gets an idea, a bold one, but he can't help but share it. "If neither of us are married by thirty, let's get married." Obviously, she'll be married by thirty. She's perfect, and any man who's as dense as a rock could see it. Surely, someone will sweep her off her feet and put a ring on her finger in the next twelve years, it's inevitable with the type of person she is.

Best of Friends
""Kitten, you're worried about something, and you cannae lie. You're picking at your hands and looking around to clean up my room. Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?" I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest. "Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously.

BOOK 2 OF 3 Sequel to Tell Me The Truth - "Violet, I need to tell you something." Phoebe mumbles somewhat nervously. "Can it wait?" "Not really, it's about who-" "Fuck, I don't have time, I'm sorry!" I take everything from her hands and the doorman opens the door to the building for me with a big smile. I don't so much as glance around on the way to the elevator. Usually I would take my time studying the current interior and grade them in my head, but I actually have no time for any of that. I tap my foot impatiently in the elevator and straighten out everything in my hands while I head up to the fortieth floor. I watch the numbers move up achingly slow and barely wait for the doors to open before I slip through them. I head down the hall and see an open door that leads to a big office space. When I enter, I'm immediately met with a warm smile from the receptionist. I exhale heavily and smile back. "Violet Parker?" She asks and I nod my head, still trying to catch my breath. "Sorry I'm late." "You're right on time." She stands from her desk and leads me toward the conference room in the middle of different offices and cubicles. She opens the door and gestures for me to step through. The chatter from the men in the room dies down when I enter and I barely look up at them, just trying to get my stuff on the table before I drop any of it. "I apologize for not being here sooner, I see you started without me." I say with a smile. "Not at all, you can't start the show without the star." A friendly sounding older gentleman says and I smile wider, turning on the charm, and finally look up to assess the room of men in front of me. I lift my head to look toward the end of the table and everything stills. My eyes lock with a very familiar pair of green ones and I feel the color drain from my face as everything around me turns into white noise.

Blood Will Tell || Harry Styles
Prologue I know I shouldn't be interested in him but I can't help it. He is wrong for me; he is he 'Bad Boy' that your parents warn you about. I can't help but wonder if this facade of his - being the Bad Boy that everybody is afraid of is fake. I have no reason to think so but I just don't want to believe that he is like the people represent him to be. Or Maybe I just don't want to admit that I have fallen for the worst guy in the neighbourhood. I don't know. I wish there was a way to get over this petty crush of mine. I mean, he doesn't even know I exist despite the fact that we go to the same school and are in some of the same classes. I am not the nerdy girl that spends her days in the library studying for the test that is coming up in 3 months, nor am I one of the makeup clad barbie dolls that walk around with my assets hanging out. I'm just me. Average Natalie. I don't fit in any of the traditional high school groups. I have friends but I am not the type of girl that everybody wants to hang around with. Although I mentioned that I don't hang in the library, I don't exactly hang out on the grounds with everybody either. I spend most of my time in my own personal designated space in one of the art rooms. But enough about me, let me get back to my issue at hand which is Mr Self-centred. The guy I was discussing was Harry Styles. He is the reason parents lock their daughters away at night and the reason shops that stay open after dark now have more security than ever. And unfortunately, he is the guy that I am most attracted to... Please give credit to @jacey.f from Instagram who is the girl that gave me the book cover and title.Complete
