"How are you not his type?" "Doesn't he date like supermodels and actresses and stuff?""And?" "And I look like neither of those things.""Girl, have you ever looked at yourself?" Come here. She pulled her off the bed and dragged her over to the mirror. "Look at yourself. You're stunning!"Faith looked at herself in the mirror. She knew she was pretty; always had been. Her hair fell to her mind back, thick and shiny. Her face was small and oval, her big brown eyes taking up a bit more space than average. She was beautiful--perhaps cute was a better description. But she was no supermodel, and she knew it."You're insane if you think you don't have some effect on him.""I have never noticed him say or do anything to that effect."She shrugged. "He may not realize it yet, but I'd say having someone pick you off and drop you off for a job he pays you for is not normal behaviour.""I think he's just being nice."She raised her brow. "Sure," she crawled.Faith sighed. "So what do I do no

Faith's heart jumped into her throat. She would recognize that voice anywhere now. "Faith? It's you, isn't it?" The voice asked again.She turned around slowly. Devlin appeared before her eyes, his eyes wide as he took her in. He looked her over head to toe."Wow," he said. He had his hand around a blonde bombshell that Faith faintly recognized. "Fancy seeing you here!""Err, yeah," she muttered, knowing he couldn't hear her over the music."You didn't tell me you were going clubbing tonight. We could have come together.""I doubt your girlfriend here would have liked that," she yelled."Nah, you wouldn't mind, would you, Anna?""It's Anne," she corrected.He looked at her blankly for a moment then blinked. "Oh, right, sorry.""So are we dancing or what?" She asked, squeezing her arm and pouting."Sure," he said. "See you around, Faith." He led his girl to the dance floor where she immediately began to grind on him. The way she moved, even Faith was mesmerised. She moved with precisi

Faith felt apprehensive as she sat in Casiuss' car. This was her first session with Devlin since that day at the club.She'd spent the last few days regretting everything. She blamed it on the alcohol. If she'd been in her right senses, she never would have made those decisions.She woke up the following day with a splitting headache, a hangover and distinct memories of the night. It was just her luck that she wouldn't get hangover amnesia. She could have used it.To make matters worse, Devlin hadn't even reached out to her once in all that time. She would feel better if he'd berated her or something... anything.The first time she heard from him was earlier that day when his text reminding her of the session and informing her that Casiuss would pick her up came in.It was the same text she'd gotten from him in the past. There was no change in tone, length or even punctuation. She knew because she'd analyzed it for hours.She'd even shown it to Adele, bless the girl. She'd latched ont

Faith gripped her chest which was still fluttering wildly from the shock she received. She struggled to get her heartbeat under control.Devlin dropped into the couch beside her, casually crossing his feet and laying one hand across the back of the sofa. He grinned, knowing exactly what he'd just done."Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"He guffawed. "Maybe?" He shot her an innocent smile."I think I'm having a heart attack." Although, she admitted that her heart was slowing down already but her face was still flushed and hot."Nah, you'll be fine.""When did you finish your meeting?" She asked to buy herself time to recover."Just a couple of minutes ago."She frowned. "Is there a different door? I didn't see the people you were meeting with leave."He shook his head at her. "Honey, what do you think this is? The stone age? We had the meeting online.""Oh," she muttered. That made sense. With that desk of a computer he had, he probably never needed to meet people physically.

It had been days since Devlin’s smartass “Club Queen” quip. She’d been shocked when he suddenly said that as she moved to get out of the car.She hadn’t been expecting it. He’d gone all day without breathing a word in that direction so she had no reason to think he would say it then.It was in keeping with his M.O. though. She knew that he'd waited that long to say anything to mess with her as much as possible.She smiled. At first, his pathological need to mess with her had pissed her off to no end but now she didn’t mind it—enjoyed it even. She found herself looking forward to what he would do next.One thing was certain since he came into her life, there hadn't been one dull moment. She still had two days to go to their next session, to when she would see him and she couldn't wait.But now, she had more pressing matters to deal with. She headed briskly to the dean’s office. She had twenty minutes to go before they closed.She would have gone earlier but she couldn’t bear to miss he

“I must be doing a very poor job then cause you don’t seem to be laughing.”“Oh, shut up." She pulled the car door open and climbed in.“Please, do come in,” he said sarcastically.She ignored him. “You were invited to Baylor’s concert?”He shrugged. “That’s what the paper says.”“How?”“I pulled a few strings.”“Why?”“Because you said she was your favourite artist the last time. Couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to show off now, could I?”“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! This is insane! It’s for tonight’s show. So are you going?”He sighed dramatically. “Geez, I sure would like to go but…”“But what?” she demanded.“I don’t want to go alone. I'll be so lonely. If only I could find someone to go with me?”“I’ll go! I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!” She yelled.He laughed. Faith held her breath as she waited for his verdict.“Hey, breathe. Your face is turning red. I don’t want to have to explain why a lady fainted in my car. I came here to get you so we can go to the thing

"You. Want. Me. To. Meet. Baylor. Right. Now!?" Faith sputtered."Yup." It would be a dream come true. She was one of those fans who never even dreamt it possible that they would meet their faves.She was content to watch her on a screen or attend whatever concert she could afford and see her from the crowd. To think that she would be seeing her up close and personal was almost too much for her heart to take. Her legs buckled slightly. He reached out to grab her arm and steady her. "Whoa, steady there. You really like her that much?""Is that a question?" She quipped. In her opinion, there was no one better. She was the best to ever do it.He shook his head. "So, you wanna go?""Again, is that a question?" She asked incredulously."Alright then, let's get this over with."They left the box, heading to a small doorway at the back. Devlin nodded his goodbyes to his celebrity friends. None of them spared her more than a glance or the occasional nod. Devlin was known to have lots of wom

"What did she say to you?" Devlin asked for the umpteenth time.And for the umpteenth time, she answered, "None of your business.""She didn't say something bad about me, did she? That cheeky little demon."Faith rolled her eyes. "What do you care if she did?""I don't like to be talked bad about.""Have you done something bad to be talked about?"He laughed. "Oh honey, I've done plenty bad."She shook her head. "You're incorrigible!'He shrugged. "That's why you love me," he said, flippantly.Faith panicked, her eyes flying to him. "Who says I love you? I don't!""Geez, don't get your knickers in a bunch. Of course, you love me. Everyone does. I'm awesome."Faith mentally facepalmed herself. Why had she gotten so worked up. Of course, he hadn't meant that she was in love with him. He didn't know that, but if she kept acting like this, he'd find out soon enough.Baylor had definitely seemed to pick up something from her face today which must have been why she issued the warning.She

What!? This price was insane. Two thousand for a basic two-piece she would have gotten for $200 at a different store. Faith fought the urge to cry. There goes lunch for the next week or more, she thought.Devlin soon came out in the first outfit she picked. It was a simple, white, oversized cotton shirt and navy blue pants. He struck a pose in front of them like a model.Faith could hear the attendants chittering excitedly behind her. Yup, she thought, I agree. He's gorgeous. He ended up wearing all five outfits because she couldn't decide. He looked good in every single one.She eventually settled on a dark yellow top and silver pants. They weren't colors she would combine naturally but he managed to pull it off.Both now dressed, it was time to pay and leave. Faith reluctantly fished out her card from her purse as they followed Millie to check out.Her hands flew over the keyboard. "Here is the total sir," she turned the screen around for him to see instead of saying the price out

The party was in full swing by the time they entered. Faith was hit in the face with a burst of smoke. She coughed, waiting for her body to adjust.Once she was able to breathe again, she took stock of her surroundings. A man came up to Devlin."Dev, my man!" They clasped hands.Faith peered up into the handsome face. She recognized him from a movie that had been showing recently. It was all the rave."Hello, lady," he said when he noticed her straing.She blushed. "Hello.""Devlin's date, uhn? Sorry but you don't seem like his usual kind.""I'm just his tutor," she said."That's great then. How about we ditch him and get some drinks?"Devlin pushed his friend back lightly. "Find your own woman."Woman? Faith looked up at him, but his eyes were on his friend. Did he just refer to her as his woman?"Alright! Alright! I won't intrude on your turf. Nice to meet you though," he said to her and left them.They moved further into the room, stopping often to exchanges greetings, hugs and che
