Off Balance

A Dean DiLaurentis fanfic
Starring...Garrett's twin.

•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•

Dean DiLaurentis has always been good at two things: hockey and women. He's fast on the ice, confident off of it, never seen without a girl on his arm, Dean has spent years perfecting the art of keeping things casual. He's six flags. No commitments. No complications. No feelings.

That was before Hadley Graham transferred to Briar. She's Garrett Graham's twin sister. She's a dancer with a sharp tongue, a stubborn streak, has a closet full of secrets, she's disciplined, private, focused, flinches when hands go up and jumps when the sound gets louder. Doesn't let anyone in and no one gets close. On top of it all? She has absolutely no interest in becoming another name on Dean's list.

Which would be fine...if Dean could stop thinking about her.

"You know, Graham, most girls would kill for my attention."

"And yet here you are, practically begging for mine," she glances up at him, unimpressed.

"Begging?" his mouth curves into a low grin.

"You've been following me around all night."

"I've been walking."

"Behind me."

"Coincidence."

"Into the same room?"

"Very strange coincidence."

"You're ridiculous," Hadley shakes her head, trying not to smile.

"Yeah, but you like me," Dean steps closer as he lowers his voice, her eyes flick to his mouth before meeting his again.

"That's the problem."

"But is it actually a problem...Hads?"

For the first time in his life, Dean DiLaurentis doesn't know what to do with a girl he actually wants, and the worst part? She's Garrett Graham's twin sister.
