There are choice: choices that can change the course of life itself. They can make people better, or ruin everything, forever. Choices make people think; sometimes, they come with second guessing, and they always come with consequences- good and bad. Choices are confusing things, but people can always get help, advice even, from that special someone.
Eleanor Bale had someone like that, once. But, one tragic moment changed her life forever. The sweet, outgoing, and loving red-headed girl that everyone knew and loved became dark and cold, lost in her world of hurt and betrayal.
Penn Watts- the inked, pierced, curly-haired boy- caught up in too many webs to count, found himself next to Miss Bale one night, and realized this was one web he maybe did not want out of.
The classic "bad boy" and "good girl" with a twist. Never again shall Miss Bale love another. Never again shall Mr. Watts trust another. Could these two nevers just maybe turn into a forever, together?
She didn't reply and I felt her finger move across my skin, lower, and almost all the way down my lower back. A shiver coursed through my body, strangely pleasant, and I felt her finger stop. "Your tattoos are beautiful," she said softly.
Too close. She was too close. My pulse was hammering and I could feel her cool breath against my skin when she spoke, and my body was warm from having felt her. I couldn't reply. My breathing was light and shaken. I wanted to just turn around and pull her against me, or rather put her against a wall, so I could kiss her and feel her more properly against me. If she touched me again, I wasn't sure that I could keep myself from doing just that.
"I'm going to take a shower," I said suddenly in an attempt to escape. She didn't stop me, so I took that opportunity to walk away. When I reached the bathroom, I took a deep breath to steady myself as well as my pulse. Closing the door behind me, I ran a hand through my hair. She truly was a nightmare.
A bad boy's worst nightmare was a girl that made him want to be a good one.
