Thinkin' Bout You
Senior year at Rosewood High isn't going as planned for Ivory Sinclair. She's always preferred flying under the radar, avoiding the drama and staying out of the spotlight. But when Ryan Davis, the cocky soccer star with a reputation for breaking hearts, starts paying attention to her, everything she's worked so hard to avoid gets thrown into chaos.
Ryan's got a flirtatious streak a mile long, but Ivory isn't impressed. To her, he's just another guy who thinks he can charm his way into anyone's heart. And after a few tense, awkward encounters, she's more than happy to keep her distance.
But Ryan's not used to being ignored. The more Ivory pushes him away, the more intrigued he becomes. What is it about her that makes him want to break through her walls? As they clash, the lines between hate and attraction start to blur, and Ryan finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about love, friendship, and the people around him.
In this slow-burn romance, Thinkin' Bout You is a story of tension, vulnerability, and self-discovery, where love grows from the most unexpected places, and sometimes, the people who push you the hardest are the ones who change your life forever.
"Do you think we're soul mates?" She asked, lifting her head in order to lock eyes with him.
It took him a moment, mustering up his answer. Thinking about how they were so alike, but so different. How they had been through similar things and had the same outlooks on certain perspectives in life. The connection that they shared.
It was like she was made specifically for him. No one would ever be able to hold a candle to her and the way she made him feel. She was his person, and he was hers.
"To be honest...yeah." He replied, wrapping his arm around her.
