"Where are you going?" He called after me. I rolled my eyes and kept walking, dripping water the entire time.
 I finally got to my car, and once I reached for the handle he grabbed my wrist and spun me around. I met his green eyes and crossed my arms. "Yes?"
He stepped forward, pressing his body against mine, backing me against my jeep. I suddenly felt warm in my drenched clothes. I bit down on my bottom lip, as red creeped into my cheeks.
"This would be easier, if you didn't keep walking away from me." His voice came out smooth and husky. He leaned down, his face advancing towards mine. In responce, I edged up, his body supporting my weight.  

I was just simply waiting for our lips to meet, and while I was waiting I noticed; at this moment I was no longer pretending.

41 parts Complete
Willow's always been known as the good girl with the wealthy parents who could do no wrong. Little do they know that this seemingly perfect girl has some less than perfect secrets; and the fact that she's been sneaking out past curfew every night since the beginning of summer isn't the worst one. Distancing herself from the people at school has become lonely, but everything changes when a group of bad boys that she meets after curfew one night transfer to her school and begin to take an interest in her; one even more than the rest. But will they be able to protect her when events from her past re-surface and begin to get her into more trouble than she ever wanted? ********************** We were a circuit, electricity flowing through us at every connection, every light touch igniting a heat that was exhilarating but dangerous. Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.

The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story. I wrote it when I was in 8th grade and it makes me cringe every time I try to go back and edit it so keep in mind that it'll get better}

"A guy isn't going to care if you're laughing with a dude," he said. "You laugh with friends. You do this with someone who is more than friends." Wolf placed his hands on my waist, pulling me in flush with his body. He dipped his head to my ear and whispered, "See? No one that looked at us right now would think we're friends." ------------------------------- When Savannah's long term boyfriend, Tripp, breaks up with her out of the blue before their annual summer lake vacation, she's devastated. Enter Wolf. He's the son of her parents' best friends, who happen to share a connecting lake condo. Savannah hasn't seen Wolf in two years since he stopped coming on family vacations. He's notorious for trouble, the exact opposite of Savannah. Wolf shows up one day and suggests that they pretend to be in a relationship during their two week vacation. He's convinced that his mom's adoration of "good girl" Savannah will change her mind about his recent house arrest. In exchange, Wolf suggests Savannah can use their fake relationship to lure Tripp back by making him jealous. Savannah is hesitant, but is just desperate enough for Tripp's attention that she agrees. Spending time with Wolf on their pretend dates becomes a problem when Savannah begins to have feelings for him. After all, Wolf is off limits. Her best friend has a major crush on him, and Savannah is supposed to be with someone sensible like Tripp, not the lead singer of the high school rock band, Wolf and the Midnight Shepherds. In the end, Savannah will need to decide if falling for Wolf is worth the consequences.

A triangle love Part 1 of 2 *************** I suddenly pecked his lips and smiled confidently. He just looked at me and didn't say anything. I smiled and said,"I like you Luke,and I see you for who you are". He didn't respond and I said,"Earth to Luke!Luke!". He finally got out of it and said," Huh?". I smiled and repeated myself to him,I said,"Will you be my boyfriend?",I said as I smiled softly. He nodded and I smiled brightly and kissed him passionately as I hugged him. He actually kissed me back. I could tell he hasn't been kissed like this. My heart dropped as I saw how cute he reacted. I suddenly kissed him from his lips all the way down his neck and made marks on his neck and smirked. He blushed and I said,"your mine now~",as I winked. *************** Just as I'm about to head through my house door, my phone buzzed. I checked it to see that I got a message from Ethan. My eyes welled up, because it was Brittany with another guy. I still ended up calling her to make sure it wasn't a photoshop or a lie. She picked up and said "I'm leaving you." My tears finally ran down my face. I'm glad my parents aren't home. I don't want them to see me like this. **************** When I almost walked off I felt someone grab my hand. My heart skipped a beat when I turned around. Sam was holding my hand and her lips touched mine. I had no reaction but happiness. Why is she kissing me? Without thinking I kissed her back. I moved back and looked down at the floor nervously laughing. I rubbed the back of my neck apologizing but she cut me off. " I-I'm sorry I just really like you and I-i uh didn't mean to." Sam said about to close the door in embarrassment. I grabbed her hand again pulling her into a small hug. My heart was racing and my face was really red. It was burning and I could feel it. What just happened!? I kissed Sam's cheek and me being scared I said it. ***** Small parts from the first three chapters ;)

"Do I make you nervous, Sweetheart?" He spoke lowly. "Psh, no! I just-" I gasped when his tongue flicked out and touched my neck. My hands flew up to clutch at his shirt, fingers tightening in an attempt to hold myself up. It was as if my knees turned to jelly. "Maybe it's bad. And maybe I shouldn't, but I love that. I love the way you react to my touch. I love the way you pretend you aren't turned on. I love that I make you nervous." Oh my. His husky voice was doing a number on my already frazzled nerves. I was putty in his hands, rendered completely useless without him. "It's okay, Sweetheart. You make me nervous too." ----------------- Viola Evans is just an ordinary 19-year-old girl.
