||My turn came again too quickly. I spun the bottle, my hands trembling, and watched in horror as it slowed, its neck pointing directly at Bryan.
"Well, Ballerina," he said. "¿Qué pasó? Are you going to sit there looking terrified all night, or are you actually going to follow through?"
"I'm not terrified."
"Sure, you're not," he replied, his smirk deepening. "But we're all waiting. Unless, of course, you're going to back out. That wouldn't surprise me."
"I'm not backing out. You're so full of yourself," I muttered, leaning forward just enough to match his posture.
"And you're stalling," he countered, his voice dropping to a murmur. "I can wait all night, princesa, but can you?"
Bryan's gaze didn't waver, his confidence infuriatingly steady. He tilted his head slightly, his lips curling into a smirk that sent my irritation skyrocketing.
"Dímelo," he said softly. "What's stopping you, Amber? Or are you scared I'll be better at this too?"||
Amber's second year at Baymount University was supposed to be the year she had it all together: keep her head down, focus on grades, and avoid drama at all costs. But life at BayU is anything but simple, especially when Bryan Munzo-star baseball player, campus heartbreaker, and certified ego-is standing in her way.
Bryan's the type of guy who leaves a trail of broken hearts, glares that could cut glass, and rumors as heavy as his batting average. The plan was to avoid guys like him altogether. But from the moment Amber nearly trips over him in the dorm hallway, it seems fate (or bad luck) has other ideas.
Yet despite Bryan's maddening attitude-and his reputation for leaving behind nothing but heartbreak, Amber can't seem to ignore the magnetic pull between them. And while Bryan's a mystery she'd rather not solve, he keeps crossing her path, challenging her in ways she didn't expect.
Will Amber make it through the semester with her goals intact, or will her year become one big lesson in breaking her own rules
"You know nothing about me, absolutely nothing! Who are you to tell me what's best for me Joslyn?!" he yells.
"So all the girls you sleep with, you think that's healthy? I'm looking out for you, I can see right past this bullshit facade!"
"Then tell me" he begins to walk towards me until my back reaches the wall. "What do you see?"
"I see.."
He presses his forehead against mine while his hands stay balled up against the wall above me.
"Say it Joslyn..please."
"We shouldn't be in this position...you have to-"
"Joslyn." he whispers. His voice is filled with something I can't quite place.
"Someone might see us." I whisper.
He lowers his head and places a gentle kiss on my lips but that soon becomes a hungrier, more demanding kiss that we've both needed. His arms wrap around my waist as he deepens the kiss.
But this isn't right.
This isn't the person I'm supposed to be going on a date with.
In fact, the person that is supposed to be going out with me is standing right in front of us.
"Joslyn?"
