well… and
he was just a good guy who I couldn’t fall for so I did us both a favor. He’s
in with a girl who is good to him and I tend to enjoy the perks of casual sex.”
    He licks his lip, biting back a smile.
He’s probably never smiled fully.
    “I have a gift at reading people,” He
states. “It’s usually at least ninety percent right.”
    “Maybe you should be a therapist.”
    “I’m not capable of being patient on a
consistent level.”
    “You’re insensitive too.”
    “Does that really matter?” He steps
closer to me. He is only an inch from me. “It is the summer. A season to be
free and do things you never thought you would do.”
    “Uh, Hugo,” I laugh, taking a step back,
shaking my head. “I am the worst kind of girl you could sleep with.”
    “Meaning?”
    “Meaning, I’m the girl who sees through
all your shit. I’m the one that will actually care for you. Change your life.
Make you feel first anger because, well, my mum says that I do that a lot to
her and you’re a little more of a tightwad… then one day, you will realize how
cool and awesome I really am… then you’ll fall for me.”
    “I don’t fall,” he says adamantly.
    “I’ve heard… but no one is born with
hate. They’re usually taught.”
    “You are very sure of yourself also.”
    “Yes, I am. I’m psychic, remember?” I
smirk. “I plan to have lots of fun this summer… but you and I have a long way
to go before I even consider taking you as a lover.” He still remains calm. He
is going to be a hard one to crack.   “Now I may be curious, but I’m not desperate. I don’t have time to deal
with someone who wants nothing but to make me into one of his broken toys.” I
smile and his lips slightly part. “So, if you want to fuck me… don’t fuck with
me.” His eyes must be dazzling. I may be wrong, but something just tells me
he’s getting off on this conversation.
    “Goodnight Hugo.”
    I walk away with courage and a
fierceness I haven’t felt in a while and am slightly rejuvenated. This is going
to be fun.
     
    HUGO
               
    I am completely and utterly turned on.
Well done, English Rose. Well fucking done.

                “Oh how
I’ve missed New York,” I say, gazing out the window of the town car.
                “I’m
sure it has missed you.” Patrick squeezes my hand, pressing his lips against
it. “You add beauty to this city.”
                I
love how he adores me. The son of one of the most prestigious and wealthiest
families of Boston, Patrick Townsend is everything a woman wants in a man…
handsome, intelligent, kind, and unlimited wealth. I’m not a gold digger, I
have plenty of money but to rule the upper eastside, both cherries of the stem
must be filled with a juicy, sweet, delectable taste. A taste of old money and
power could take you far on this island. My choosing of Patrick will surprise
most people, but I like to add a little shock value. I was shocked myself when
I first decided to pursue him, but it was something about him. That good boy
nature, it was so pure. His heart is a heart of gold yet he is a man.
                “Hopefully,”
I flash my sad grin. “They can all see that I’ve changed.”
                “Of
course, they will.” Patrick leans in, kissing me on my lips. “Anyone who judges
people based off high school is just sad. Babe, you are one of a kind.”
                “Got
that right,” I wink.
                “You
want to stop by your old place?”
                “No,”
I sigh. “I’ll go later.” I slide over and prop myself onto his lap. “Right now,
all I want to do is get to that condo of yours.”
                “Of
ours,” he corrects me.
                “Of
ours and stay in bed,” I gently flick his bottom lip with my tongue, “all day.”
                He
moans into my
