"let's make a deal, Tiger." He stepped towards me, a threatening look on his face. I stepped back, a scared one on mine. I kept walking backwards until I came against a hard surface and couldn't anymore. With my back pressed against my dressing table I cursed my room for it's corners.
He kept walking closer until I could feel his breath on my face. I held my breath waiting for this deal of his.
"You keep your mouth shut about what you heard tonight, and I'll keep my mouth shut about your pills." How would I have known that my next words would get me into a lifetimes worth of mess.
"Deal."
________________
Insomnia
/ɪnˈsɒmnɪə/
noun
- habitual sleeplessness; inability to sleep.
Mia Stone has Insomnia, and she has all of her life. When she turned 16 it got increasingly worse, she was prescribed triazolam to help her sleep.
One stupid and regretful night she didn't take her pills. The side affects were tearing her apart so she thought, maybe just one night I can go without them.
- dizziness, tired feeling, daytime drowsiness (or during hours when you are not normally sleeping);
- headache, depressed mood, memory problems;
- numbness or tingly feeling;
- feeling nervous, excited, or irritable;
- increased or decreased interest in sex.
Were all the side affects of the medication. Little did she know that that a certain bad boy next door could make her feel all those things and more, no prescription needed. Ryan Waters made her a deal.
He would keep her secret, if she would keep his.

"No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart.

"I can" "Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded. "Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing. "Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...Complete

She licked her lips and squeezed though the front seats all the while looking at me. I pulled her towards me and she chuckled as she sat on my lap. Her legs were either side of me and her breathing was ragged. I ran my hand down her cheek and pulled her into me. I kissed her lips and soon our tongues whirled around. Hungry and rough. She held her head back and I began to plant rough kisses onto her beautiful neck. "Am I a bad influence?" She breathed. Her hands were on the back of my neck. I stopped kissing her and looked up at her. "Everyone needs a little bad in their lives." I whispered back making her smile. My hands found her waist and I noticed her short dress had ridden up exposing her thighs. She wore it to tease me and I loved it. Fuck, I loved her body. She breathed into my neck and I pulled off her dress in one slick motion. My hands were all over her back, feeling her, touching her. Her soft skin drove me crazy. ------------------------- BE AWARE: Trigger warnings: MATURE CONTENT 18+ (SMUT) SWEARING VIOLENCE/GUN VIOLENCE SELF HARM/SUICIDE (REFERENCES) EXPLICIT LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO RAPE SMOKING/ALCOHOL/DRUGS BLOOD/DEATH/GORE ©️ All rights reserved ™️ The Walnut Tree BOOK TWO OF THE MAFIA SERIESComplete

Grifter|| A Love Story||
We were a team. A confidence team, gaining your trust and ripping you off for every penny we could squeeze out of you. Stealing millions between pickpocketing, elaborate schemes against the rich, and knocking off banks; we made it big. We were good, really good at what we did. This time we were too greedy. We couldn't pass up a 4 million dollar art con. Each couple would have walked away with 2 million dollars and we could have settled down and finally started the family we had talked about for years. But he disappeared......in the middle of the night, abandoning me. Until he returned with a bullet hole in his arm and desperation in his eyes. Begging me to help him one last time, but could I ever forgive him? Could I ever look past his betrayal of leaving me in Tennessee to fend for myself and fight off the cops myself? ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● "What were the first words you ever spoke to me?" He asked softly, his thumbs wiping away the wetness from my cheeks. "No." I choked out. "Don't! I don't want to say it." "You said...Hi, my name is Alexis and I just moved into my grandparent's house across the street. Can I play with you? And I knew the moment I laid eyes on you...." "You were 10 years old, you didn't know shit." I croaked. "I may have been 10, but I knew a beautiful girl when I saw one. And you blew the rest of the world out of the water. I may have saved you by leaving you in Tennessee, but at least you still had your grandparents. I had no one if I didn't have you."Complete

"You don't seem so bad", I responded absentmindedly. He chuckled humorlessly, "That's because you don't know me, baby girl", he said. "Why do you keep calling me baby girl?", I asked. He stepped forward invading my personal space. He brought his free hand up to my face and caressed my cheek with his knuckles. "Because you are my baby girl", he whispered. ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ Zayn's everything Aaliyah's parents warned her to stay away from growing up and they were right, but even more wrong.Complete
