❝ boys like him won't come enclosed in your dreams, or even packages topped with ribbons or bows. boys like him come with girls blood on their knuckles and lust-filled eyes. they will flaunt their lies at you and play with your hair, or amuse themselves with their mind games. and the cycle will continue until you're the girl underneath them on a thursday night. they will leak 'i love yous' into your skin with their soft lips and they will get tangled in between your fingers. they will drain the universe that has been made up in your eyes. they will falsely love you until your blood is replaced with venom; they will desire you only when the hickeys from coral lips arise along your body. boys like him perch like owls in a tree, they scope out weakness - vulnerability. boys like him destroy girls like you. So just focus on this reputation of yours and making this family look good, because a boy like him will never love you. ❞
Excerpt: spoken by, Emmy's mother, Meredith.
"I wouldn't mind watching you. Maybe we could tan together this summer." He suggested. "Without having tan lines." I could feel the smirk playing on his lips. I lightly slapped his chest.
"Don't ruin my mood with your cockiness."
"I think I made it a lot better."
"Well, keep going and you'll have to deal with your boner yourself." I teased.
"Why does it always come back to my boner?" He asked with a smile playing on his lips.
"Because it's just so huge." I said absentmindedly.
"Is it now?" He raised a brow at me.
I stripped myself away from him and pouted as I folded my arms across my chest. "That's not what I was supposed to say."
"Hmm," He nodded. "What were you supposed to say then?"
"That it's just as annoying as you." I laughed.
SUMMARY:
After the death of her father, Blake moves in with her estranged mother and twin sister. Coping with her father's death was one thing and being involved in dirty work is another. Add a bad boy to fall for on her plate and things can't be more messed up.
She tries to start a new life but ghosts from her past just aren't ready to leave her. Question is, can she make it through and have a happy ending or not?
Give it a few chapters, nobody gets the hang of writing their first book immediately. It gets better story wise and writing wise, I promise.
