Velicious Book One (un-editied)
23 parts Complete Dante leans in, his cool breath against my cheek. βAcceptance is the first step to overcoming misfortune.β Misfortune was a light way of describing my current life. βI got a proposition for you,β he says as I felt a shiver race down my back.
I looked at him curiously, βAnd that would be?β
Dante looked over at the far a corner where there were a few classic 1940βs wooden pool tables. βI win, you unwind yourself through whatever measures.β
I withheld a smartass response, βAnd if I win?β
βYour misfortune will be no more,β
Studying Dante I murmured. βHow can you guarantee such a thing?β
βBecause Iβm awesome,β Dante says with a smirk. A handsome half smile, that made me want to press my lips against his. Ugh, Iβm dancing with the devil. βOr, are you not so familiar with the game?β
βIf I choose not to play itβs because one, I have a date and secondly I just donβt want too.β
βOr,β adds Dante. βThereβs a tiny, mental acquisitiveness that you canβt get rid of when it comes to me, and it makes you want to avoid whatever this is. At all costs." Ding, ding, ding! Dante hit the jackpot. I refused to let it show that he was right on target.
Dante continued, starring deeply into my brown eyes. "However, you may simply suck at pool and donβt want to be shamed.β
I tried my best to hold in every emotion that was bubbling inside of me. It was a mix of excitement and fear. Hot and cold. Night and day. Such contradictions I canβt think straight.
Struggling to hold in my composure, I said meandering pass Dante and towards the pool tables. βIβm a goddess,β
He said following behind me, βCocky little vixen.β
βNot cocky,β I said over my shoulders. βI told you, I'm a goddess when it comes to pool. I'm untouchable.β
