"Alright then, let's get started" Tayla takes out a measuring tape and starts to wrap it around the various parts of my body. I'm thankful she doesn't mutter the numbers out loud, that's not something I want to hear her opinions on. After a few minutes, she has all the information she needs. "So wh
"Did you have fun?" Rhodes asks with a slight twinkle in his eye as I appear by his side, I don't dare look at the screen displaying the total as Rhodes passes over a black card to the woman. He wraps an arm around my shoulder as a bevy of staff take the bags and carry them out of the store, possibl
"Is this apartment safe?" Rhodes asks after he looks out the window; its a small one and the view is nothing to marvel at, not quite what he's used to I suppose. "Yes of course!" I'm quick to defend my humble abode, I don't want him to get any ideas. "I have three locks on my door, and I have my ba

"So, you didn't leave some boy broken-hearted back there did you?" He lifts up his head and focuses his eyes on me. We talked about this briefly on our first date. I told him that I don't like boys my age, not that they would even notice me anyway. Maybe that's why I don't like them. When I told him
He sighs and stands up straight, folding his arms across his chest. Oh no, he's going on defence. "I like it better this way, they know what I expect from them and they know what I can provide them with" His tone is flat, and it's bullshit, it's complete and utter bullshit. He's trying to convince m
