My name is Thalia Grey.
His name is Nathan Steele.
I thought he would be just like he is online. Nice, funny, kind, caring, helpful and smart. But I was wrong. He's a jerk in real life.
My life is pretty eventful...ish. Abusive father, dead mother, brother who blames me for me everything, the queen bee who despises me, "friends" who hate me, and that one person who I thought I could trust. The only person that loves me is my step-mother. She's not even blood related, yet, she cares and understands for me. She doesn't blame me for my mother death. But my blood related family, oh let's just say that if they recieved news that I was dead, they'd be celebrating. It sucks, I know.
Nathan Steele has everything. Looks, grades ,fortune and loyal friends but honestly I don't think he deserves it. He's a completely different person in real life. He's the biggest player I've ever met,he's a jerk to almost everyone, has anger issues,g ets into at least one fight per day and so on. It's just that I never thought a person that sweet online would be that much of a douche in real life.
But even though he is such a jerk to me I still find myself wanting to be with him.
I don't get why. Is it me?
"I don't know what kind of girl you think I am Greg" I mumbled. I was not the kind of girl who slept with guys on a whim. I wanted him, but not enough to abandon all reason.
He took a step toward me, ignored my narrowed eyes and wrapped his arms around me. I wriggled and tried to pull away, but he only held me tighter. His face was impossibly close to me, expression serene to my fury. I could feel him already, pressing into my stomach. Fear shot through me, but the anticipation was equal.
"I know exactly what kind of girl you are Maddy... that's the problem" He said simply.
His lips crashed into mine, tasting every inch of me. I wanted more than anything to pull away, leave and never mention this again.... but I couldn't do it. The feel of him naked, warm and muscular against me rendered me speechless. I couldn't explain it, but our bodies seemed to fit together somehow and the anger I'd felt just a minute ago. That firey anger at him invading my privacy was gradually merging with the previous lust from last night. Now all I felt was an all consuming need for him to touch me.
.......................................................................
Maddy Reynolds' life is a mess. Her best friend's brother Greg has just died and her two best friends Mel and Dom aren't speaking to each other. She has no one to talk to about her confusing feelings towards Greg or why Mel is so distant. Then at the funeral, she becomes friends with Tom Winter by pure chance and he seems to be the only one who understands her.
And yet.... even he is keeping secrets from her. The sort of secrets that have the power to change everything.
Maddy now has to decide to trust him or find out the truth on her own. Things would have been a whole lot simpler if she'd chosen the latter.
