Lose a bet, lose your heart...
With the exception of my brother, Noah, and his three frat-cum-band brothers Gab, Jared and Brent, I only allowed one man in my heart, Brad. Brad was the center of my universe. I was willing to give him everything including my most precious virginity. I thought he was different. Until he broke my heart. I vowed to myself that I would never ever love someone who screamed of trouble, yet again with just one look of the man who had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen, everything seemed to fall into pieces.
There's something about Jace that made me want to spend every minute with him. It was like he controlled my heart, body and soul. So when he introduced me into a bet I would hardly win, I took the risk to entering in his life and knowing his deepest secret. I knew I was playing with fire and in the end, it was me who got burned...

Unveiled
I started pushing Noah's arms away from me. "Ma..... May I have a word with you" I said to Noah walking out of the kitchen without waiting for his reply. I walked at the corner of the living room and waited for Noah to come. He came after a few seconds and stood in front of me. The first thing I did was check his temperature with my hand. I am glad he didn't move back to my touch. Instead he was analyzing me. "Are you alright" I asked. He looked at me in confusion. "I am fine. Why?" He asked. "Did you hit your head somewhere" I asked. "No" he said. "Then why aren't you afraid of women. You used to always avoid talking to them or being near them. But today, you.... you are talking to me an........and touching me. That isn't normal........." I stopped speaking when he again started walking towards me. Instantly my feet started moving back. I stopped walking when I felt the wall hit my back. He stood in front of me keeping his hand against my head, bending down to my level looking into my eyes. "What isn't normal" he asked. My eyes flicked to his lips for a second which looked soft. "You.......You are speaking with me. You al.... always ignore me" I said. ****************** Alena Lincoln, the invisible twin. Wanting for love, wanting to achieve her dreams.

Loving him is effortless, but confessing it feels impossible. So, I let myself have these moments of laughing at his ridiculous jokes, feeling safe in his presence, holding onto the quiet spaces where I can pretend that forever is ours. Even if it never can. Elias Gray: Brielle is my best friend. My anchor. My everything. She's sunshine even when she's scared, even when the weight of the unknown presses against her. I see the way she hides her fears, the way she tries to live in the present without acknowledging how fragile her future might be. And I want more than anything to protect her, to keep her safe and to fix what I know I can't fix. But there's something else. A feeling I can't name, something deeper than friendship, something I'm afraid to say aloud. Because what if I realize I love her, only to lose her?Complete
