He was just blocking her way, "if you would please let me go back to the room" she said trying to be polite as can be as she also tried to go past him, if he wanted a rise out of her, it was the last thing he was getting. He towered over her, she wasn't exactly small, but he had always been on the tall side and he thought he could use that to his advantage.
"I see, you're intimidated" he stated, full of himself, exactly like she thought he would be.
She stopped and took a step backwards to take a better look at him, "Intimidated" she said with her British accent so tick it only meant she was getting a tiny bit angry, she was biting her lips.
He looked at her a bit lost, looking at her lips, seeing she was about to laugh, then he shook his head and looked into her eyes again.
"I'll see you at dinner" she told him and moved again to leave.
"Just don't fall in love with me okay" he said with a cheeky smile on his face, using everything he always used to really intimidate a girl, "I know how these things go, girl is new, falls in love, I just don't want you to get your heart broken" he said, giving her a look that said he was mocking her.
She looked back up at him, "Oh gosh, you just spoiled all the fun" she said sarcastically with a hand on her chest, mocking him right back and kicking his ego to the floor and stomping on it. She then moved all the way past him "don't worry about my heart love, I don't have one" she then walked into her room and slammed the door for affect.
Have you ever heard of foreign exchange students?
That's what it was supposed to be, just an exchange that would lead to so much extra credit. He told her not to fall in love with him from the first day they met yet what he didn't anticipate was that this was no ordinary girl, he should have guarded his heart because a few months may not be enough and in time he would realize that she was the girl he had never known he had wished for.
'You didn't answer my question,' he asked, holding her gaze in his hypnotic ones.
'Wh... what question?' She was surprised at her own voice, it sounded like of someone else's. She wanted to ask him--which question, there were so many he had asked her tonight. Each one threatening in their own different ways to her sanity.
Brandan smiled mysteriously. Not answering her, he instead said something else, 'Don't keep staring at me like that.' His voice was soft. Suddenly, she found herself in some other world.
'W.. why?' She stammered ridiculously.
His lips slightly brushed against her, she closed her eyes in anticipation, under the spell of their lips connecting. Sparking were the electricity all over her skin.
''Cause....' He took a step back from her, leaving her cold and she was too lost to do something about it--like leaping closer to him and getting engulfed in the euphoric warmth once again. ''Cause, you will fall in love with me... ' He paused as growling deeply a set of thunders boomed above the skies. Cold wind made her hair dance around. He finally finished his sentence, 'Again.'
Rain poured down upon her heavily as if the entire sky was about to break down over her, She opened her eyes against the cold water to see he had lef alreadyt, leaving her to drown into his words, completely.

They say love's blind. Maybe that's why Emma loved Brandan despite all odds, more than she loved herself but only to find that it wasn't enough. When time and fate decided to be cruel to the utmost, she found herself broken in all the ways possible. Realizing that love wasn't enough, she picked up her ruined self and found a new beginning at the end.
But fate had, apparently, some unexpected plans in store.
Against all odds, they were meant to face one another once again. But this time, Brandan was a changed man and so was Emma. While one was burnt from the pain, another was burnt from the guilt. And then...
