"Look, you've been vetted by my family and are probably nice enough with your reasonably decent lawyer or whatever job, but I'm not looking for my next year's Thanksgiving date."
I sigh and, almost as an afterthought, ask, "What are you looking for then?"
Ally's eyes, off in the distance, veer back to me. They dance alive with fire, or something else?
"Honestly?" she asks and looks me up and over like accessing some kind of Thanksgiving ham at the store. "Someone that'll let me sit on their face for a night so I can blow off some steam and then never have to deal with them again."
I, by the mere blessing of every angel and god, don't react by spitting out my beer. I just pull it from my lips and with all the casualness I can muster and put forth with the civilized and chilled guise of the amazing lawyer I am, say "Well, I'm not particularly full."
In the modern era of commitment phobia, fed into by celebrated self-proclaimed independence, love still finds a way. Or at least 27-year-old lawyer Lenox Letsky has to hope, because he's invested way too much time of his obnoxiously high hourly rate into the pursuit of 25-year-old wannabe artist, Ally Waltin. She is by all accounts, the easiest girl he's ever met. The first time they met ended in a raunchy sexcapade after an easy win in an intense cornhole tournament. And they had the kind of effortless banter and natural chemistry that had him smiling days later. So why when everything was so easy, did she have to make it so hard?
Ally is adamant that her defined terms are not to be ignored or changed. She will only accept something so long as it's nothing and Lenox is forced to comply or lose her. Though he has a plan. It's ripe with dumb stupid courage, childish games, and psychological strategies. And he's not above using any and all of them to win over the girl of his dreams starring in all of his nightmare.

12 Days of Christmas
"Here's the deal," he began. "I know you don't feel the same way about me, and I know that it's very possible that you'll never return the feelings I have for you. That's why I've come up with a solution to satisfy us both." "I'm listening," I responded, admittedly a bit intrigued. "Today is December 14 which would be exactly twelve days before Christmas. Are you familiar with the classic Christmas song, '12 Days of Christmas'?" he questioned. I chuckled, shaking my head at his absurd question. "Uh, who isn't?" "Well then, here's my proposition for you: For exactly twelve days, you let me be your boyfriend," said Joey. "Joe, I-" "And before you say no," he said, cutting me off, "I think both of us could benefit from this deal. Know why? This would be my one chance to make you fall for me. If you don't by the time Christmas rolls around, then I'll leave you alone or we'll go back to the way things used to be - me and you, best friends and only best friends." He took a shaky breath before adding, "Besides, we're not really running the risk of 'ruining the friendship' since, and forgive me for the harsh words, but the friendship is already ruined so..." "Well... What exactly would we be doing for twelve days?" I inquired. "Well, since you asked, we'd be going on dates, doing stuff that would make you fall for me, and most importantly, we'd act like a couple. To summarize, you'll be getting the full boyfriend experience," he chuckled with a proud grin plastered across his face. "Interesting proposition, Joey," I complimented, giving him a little dorky applause. "I'm in. Your chance to prove yourself to me starts... now." Without saying another word, he wrapped his arms around my waist, drawing me close, and he brought his lips to mine. - Cover by: @guiaong - ~ 12 Days of Christmas ~ 05/31/17 - 10/08/17 Edited: 08/08/20 - 08/24/20Complete

Broken Girls And Broken Boys
C O M P L E T E D "Date me," he spins the whiskey around in the glass and fixes me with a smirk. I roll my eyes the moment the words roll off his tongue. "Are you really that desperate?" I scoff in response, fighting back the ever prominent blush. His smirk widens as my face flushes red and he leans over the countertop towards me. I step back. "Name your price," he replies, his words cool and smooth like ice cream. Only I would reference food at a moment like this. Anger rolls around in the pit of my stomach; I may not have money but I have morals. "You can't buy people, Grant," The words fall out of my mouth and he recoils as if slapped. I'm glad. Stupid rich boy and his player ways. "Bet I can," I resist the urge to slap the smug look of his face and scoff again. "Right," I drag out the word, rolling my eyes. I step away from the counter and turn my back on him, desperate to leave. But he speaks again. "Date me. Two months. If you fall for me for my money, I win. If I fall for you for who you really are, you win." I consider this for a moment. I have nothing to loose and really not much to gain. But I'm so desperate to put the asshole in his place that I can't resist. I'm a sucker for a bet. "Deal."Complete

Midnight Rain
She said it like it was nothing - " This isn't a movie, Emnet. Let me go. But that's exactly why I can't. "I know it's not a movie ,Niv," I whisper, trying to keep my voice steady but failing miserably. " That's why I am still here. Because if I let you go now......there won't be a miracle to bring you back . Not like in the movies. I lose you , and thats it." ♡♡♡♡♡ She's haunted by her past-memories she never speaks of, scars she's learned to hide behind ambition and diplomacy. Falling in love? That was never part of the plan.

Or something deeper-something that might finally silence the noise in their heads? ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
