It stops being cliché once the girl has chosen what she thinks is her star crossed lover. It becomes even more intriguing when French hybrid Victor seems to be the choice. Lauv, also known as bimba, the wealthiest Mafia vampire, she's the perfect example of making use of wealth to help others, whereas, Lorenzo, a waiter, is mysterious and docile, Lorenzo is a perfect fit for Lauv's habit of wanting and keeping things she considers pretty. What happens next when after remembering Victor, Lauv finds out who her real beloved is? What would you do? Who would you choose? ... "Wait you're mad at me because you're the one telling him to leave? It's his choice, he gets to choose, don't humans have free choice or are you playing god's game: lying to him and choosing what's best for him? I just influenced his actions and if I, were in him, whether or not you instructed me to, I'd leave too if someone threatened to kill me!" She lazily raised her hand upwards taking a few steps back, as if she wasn't embarrassing me. "God's game?" I questioned her dismayed by her words. "Right you're leaving?" She asked him with an annoyed look on her face, totally ignoring my question. ...

Michael, a world renowned ambassador of pop music and a crossover of pop, r&b, and soul. Some call him a connoisseur, a "magician with luminescent grace", but yet none of these compliments matter. They were no match for the beauty who sat perched each night against the left wing of the stage, blowing him kisses each glance they shared. She was and is his world. She is his everything. "The very reason I breathe", He explains. Jesse Edmond, a dreamer with a philosophy of "When they say you can't, nod and silently prove them wrong", Her philosophy is always designated as the main being of her success. "A dancer with the poise of a gazelle" most compliment her. But just the same as Michael, the opinions of others were irrelevant to the opinion of his. He broke her fall. He kissed her bruises. He gave her breath. He is the very reason she breaths. "Without Michael there is no Jesse. He is apart of me. End of story" She explains. Being in love is never easy. There's no road map telling you which path to take. There is no key to tell you what you are exactly searching for. It's just a puddle that you have to step into. When you do find love, you have to learn how to hold on. Know when to let go. Know when to keep holding on. Michael and Jesse are two souls that are meant to be, right? Between the pressure of Michael's fame and Jesse's career as a professional dancer, pieces of their puzzle don't always exactly match. Michael and Jesse like many others, loose the picture to the puzzle, but when they find the pieces and the puzzle emerges, is it the picture they hoped for?

She looked at me like a deer in headlights. Nobody will ever understand no matter how much I try to explain. "So why did you stay?"
