"A lot of people are scared of you, Austin Grey." Rosalie spoke softly, still looking thoughtfully up at the sky. "And it's like you want them to be." Her eyes remained fixed on the clouds as she spoke, observing them in a way only she could.
"What about you?" I asked her after a short silence. "Are you scared of me?" My eyes followed a white line in the sky that a plane must have left behind, as I waited for her answer.
She took seconds, minutes to respond. "Right now," it sounded hesitantly, "Right now, I don't think so."
I couldn't help but smile, as I moved my eyes away from the sky, to look at her. There she was, innocent and angel-like, lying on the fresh green grass, flowers surrounding her petite body. They reminded me of her, the flowers. Everyone loves flowers, they're beautiful and sweet. But, flowers are fragile, and you have to treat them with care. Just like Rosalie.
She was like a blooming rose.

Austin Grey is a guy without emotions, or at least that's how he wants others to see him. Brought up by his rather aggressive father, in a world full of drugs, alcohol and fighting, he has learned to care about nobody, to cut off his emotions and to be merciless. But, unlike his father, he doesn't get joy out of killing people. When his father dies, he sees his chance to escape the life full of fighting and runs away. With some money stolen from his father he buys himself a little flat, in a town far away from where he grew up.
Other than most 20-year old guys, girls are the last thing Austin cares about. But, that will change when he meets a certain girl named Rosalie, who makes him feel emotions he's never felt before.

Summary || Plot
"I was warned about boys like you." Folding her arms Moenice was getting hot under the stare of Theo's beautiful brown eyes.
"Oh yeah. What exactly were you warned about?" Taking a step closer, Theo knew what he was doing, he knew how he made Moenice feel.
"All boys just want one thing, they come sniffing, begging, chasing after it." Moenice wasn't about to let Theo see the real her. To her he was just like the other brothers around here, feening for something that could easily fuck up both lives.
"Good thing I'm a grown. Ass. Man." Grabbing her face, he spoke slowly against her lips. He kept one hand around her waist and the other tilting her head back.
"And this grown ass man ain't with that little boy shit." Trying to catch her breath Moenice was almost under his control, she knew what he was doing and knew just how to fight back.
"Show me." Slowly pulling his hand off her face she whispered in his ear nibbling on his earlobe to arouse him.
"Actions speak volume Theo." Closing her door quietly she leaned against it. Theo was absolutely no good for a good girl like Moenice, but she seemed to be breaking all the rules anyway.
