A kiss for Ree
"You got hotter?. How long have I been away?" Jax drapped an arm over my shoulder. I smiled, but my gaze met with Ludwig's again, his eyes narrowed in a possessive way I knew too well. Well if he's dancing with another girl, then I'm going to dance with Jax. Ludwig wasn't the only one watching. I could feel the quiet hum of people's gazes glued to me. I ignored them all. The only person I couldn't ignore was Jax. My Jax. "Let's dance." I nodded in agreement. Jax's musky cologne filled my nose as we started to dance. He warped his arms around me, hugging me close in a way that felt like home. One moment, Jax's warmth was warped around me like a warm blanket and the next-someone violently yanked us apart. My body jolted as I was pulled back, and before I could react, I felt a strong hand on my wrist, dragging me away from Jax. What the hell?. Of course it was Ludwig!. *** She had plans. Life had chaos. Her final year in high school was supposed to be simple: graduate, hang out with her best friends, maybe finally sort out her tangled crushes on Alameen and Jax. But that dream shattered the moment her father returned with a new wife and a stepson. Things spiral fast. The Sassy Six becomes the Sassy Four. One crush ends up in a hospital bed, another moves far away, and just when she thinks it can't get worse, her father forces her into an arranged engagement without a single explanation. But Ree's story is far from over. Just as everything seems lost, secrets start to unravel, about her past, her parents, and a fortune she never knew she had. Turns out, Ree's life isn't falling apart... it's being rearranged.Complete
Bogus ~Reece King FanFic~ (Completed)
"Excuse me miss, can I have the time?" I say. She reaches for her phone. "I'd check my watch but I can't take my eyes off you." She stares at me with a weird smile. Maybe she didn't get it. "Well can I follow you home?" Her eyebrows shifted in question. "My parents always told me to follow my dreams." This time she gives me a real smile but nothing else. "Have you ever been flirted with?" She shakes her head side to side silently. What? The girl with the smooth caramel skin, big brown eyes, and soft curly hair has never been flirted with? I almost gasp. "Stop kidding." I say not believing her. "I'm being serious." She says, her voice as smooth as her skin looks. "So, would you mind hanging out sometime?" I say almost a little nervous of rejection. That feeling's kind of new. "Are you sure you wanna go out with me?" She says a little surprised by my proposal. "Yeah, I mean you are beautiful." I say. Usually, compliments make girls smile or giggle, but she seemed uncomfortable. Bad start. She paused for a moment thinking. "Yeah, sure. I'd love to hangout." She says with a small smile. "Great. What's your name ?" I say almost ashamed that I don't know her name by now. "Diana. You?" "Reece." "It was nice meeting you Reece." She says getting up with her tray. "You too Diana." I say, relieved that she was leaving. The giddy, nervous feeling made me loose my appetite. CupidsBFF~ ~All Rights Reserved ~Fight of the Realest~ Reece King FanficComplete
