“Then congratulations love, you succeeded”His words are not what I was expecting. He is too honest and I’m not used to someone like him being venerably honest. His blatant confession confuses me.“What do you want from me Roman? Why are you chasing me when you can have any girl you want? You're rich, handsome and I can not fathom why you would bother with me when I'm only insulting you every time I see you” Truly, If every girl worships the ground Roman walks on, I do the exact opposite. So why me?He looks frustrated now as he speaks, “I want you. I've wanted you since the moment I saw you stretching on your toes to reach the top shelve in your desperate search for a cookie in the grocery store. I'm been intrigued by you since the moment you threatened to assault you with your taekwondo skills. So, no, I don’t want any girl I can have, I just want you” His expression conveys so much honesty I have no choice but to believe his words.I am utterly speechless. I remember all that he sa

Roman's POV I offer to drive Lindsey home after our conversation and she agrees. I just start the car after we settle into our seats when a loud noise breaks out. I'm a bit startled because it sounds like a wild animal growling. I look beside me and see Lindsey tensed, I would think she was scared due to the sound but she seems to be avoiding my gaze as if she were embarrassed. I narrow my eyes at her, "Was that your stomach, Cookie?" I ask her. I'm still in doubt because I've never heard such a growl come out of a person so small before. Lindsey rolls her eyes at me feigning annoyance but I can see she is just trying to hide her embarrassment. "I didn't eat before you interrupted Collins and I. Why can't you just ignore things, Roman?" She asks, truly annoyed. I find it cute. "You don't have to be embarrassed about your stomach growling, it happens to everyone" I explain lightly, amused. "Well, I wouldn't be embarrassed if you hadn't pointed it out so blatantly" She complains

On Monday morning I'm groggy and tired, the reason for my tiredness is Roman Masters. I'm also filled with a weird bustling energy that makes me want to jump up and down and smile unnecessarily. The reason for my feeling this way is also, Roman Masters. I couldn't sleep easily because my mind kept going on and on about how we're dating now. I didn't think I would enter into a relationship with anyone this my senior year. I believed I already knew all the boys that Rixon High has to offer and nothing could move me, I didn't count for the arrival of a new student. I didn't count for the arrival of Roman Masters. Now, I'm afraid that I'm caught in his web and something tells me leaving it won't be as easy as I entered. I pick up my phone to call Cassie to hurry up, it's already a few minutes after our usual departure time to school and she's not here yet. I'm however distracted by the notification of a new text message. It's from Roman. Sexiest Man Alive: Good morning, how's my g

I and Cassie are on our way to the cafeteria now because it's lunch time now. Cassie is telling me about how our school board is considering installing cameras in the hallways, libraries, basketball, and football courts, and other places as a result of the vandalism that just occurred. As I listen to her talk, I notice not so silent bickering and whispering among the students that surround us. At first, I assume they are all also conversing about the vandalism and cameras which is the trending topic like Cassie and I but I am starting to guess that is not the case. For some reason, I feel like everyone is staring at me. I wonder if the students are suspecting that I'm the vandal. I chuckle lightly at the ridiculous thought. I'm probably imagining the stares, they can't be looking at me. I'm not that interesting. It is more likely that they are staring at Cassie, she looks pretty good today in her cute red pleated dress and sleek ponytail. I conclude that they are not looking at

Roman offers to take me home and I agree. I'm not one to skip school or classes usually, but I can't bear to go back and face everyone. By now I'm sure the rumors have spread to unimaginable lengths even the school staff could have heard about it.I'm tired. I'm so tired. My expression must convey the sudden weakness I feel inside because Roman puts his arm over my back and helps me out of the stall.The moment we step out we are met by a girl who is washing her hands in one of the sink basin in front of the mirror on the wall. She sees Roman behind me from the mirror and lets out a fearful yell."Ahh!" She lets out in shock at having a guy coming out of a stall in the girls toilets.I fidget, not knowing how to explain the situation. She probably thinks we were doing something outrageous like making out or even having sex in the stall and because I don't need any more stains on my reputation, I open my mouth to explain.Roman uncaringly pulls me away, stopping any words from coming o
