Knowing how to fight back, would not only ease my mind but perhaps I'd be able to fight back in my sleep too.
I stood there waiting, listening to the downpour of the rain hitting the gym's roof. Having my thoughts to myself wasn't good, now that I had no distraction, I'm swarmed with Xade's earlier words.
A claim he had staked.
Had it been just to get at Christian or was he serious? I nervously toyed with my fingers, watching as the car pulled up in front of me.
Before I can put the hood over my head, Xade comes out and in a speeding dash, he is in front of me, throwing his hoodie over my head to keepfrom getting wet.

"I would rather you not lie," I stressed in the word rather, watching his jaw tick. He pulled the car to a stop at a En red light and turned to me.
Those blues are stormy and intense, causing a fire to awaken in my soul. I shuddered as my breathing picked up pace, my body quivering and my lips tingling as his eyes drop to them. "As far as I know," he looked back into my eyes, his eyes serious and unwavering. "That wasn't a lie."
