She is beautiful.The thought came out of nowhere and shocked me into next week. - Romeo about Rimmel

I focused on him. Everything still seemed blurry, but he was close enough that I could see him. He was completely soaked. His jeans, shoes, jacket, and shirt. He was just as wet as I was. His normally messy blond hair was darker and flat to his head from the weight of the water.Dark shadows haunted his eyes and his lips were pale from the cold. "You jumped in after me," I whispered."I'd jump into the pits of hell for you, Rim.

He was just a loser with a credit card.Maybe in the past I never realized that. Hell, maybe I'd been the kind of guy who thought money equaled class. Maybe I thought the air of arrogance Zach wore as armor made him superior to others.And then I fell in love with a girl who was the epitome of the opposite of my world.She shattered everything I thought I knew. And though she might be the one wearing glasses, it was me who was finally seeing clearly.

Slowly, he pulled back and set me carefully on the ground, his forehead touched mine, and he looked at me. "That the girl who said something to you last semester?""How'd you know?""Thought I was gonna have to restrain ya." He smiled. "You were about to throw down.""I probably would have embarrassed myself," I confided. I moved so our noses touched as well as our foreheads."I'd have bet money on you." He pressed a quick kiss to my lips before bending down to the mess I made on the sidewalk.

You asked me why I'm here," he murmured, leaning in so he was so close his lips brushed mine as he spoke. "This is why I'm here, Rimmel. Can't you feel it too?"My eyes drifted closed and I nodded. The small movement bumped our lips fully together and neither of us pulled away.- Romeo & Rimmel

His hand lightly pressed to the small of my back, and I turned. His arm slid around me and I was brought up against him. 'You're shaking,' he said, a frown lacing his tone. 'I know.' 'We don't have to,' he said. 'I'm a patient man.' 'Are you really?' I asked, my tone slightly rueful. His white teeth flashed. 'For you I would be.' The sincerity in his voice was my undoing. 'No more talking,' I whipered."- Romeo & Rimmel

Everyone started to file toward the door, crowding each other in their attempt to get the hell out of this flying deathtrap. I stood and waited for my turn, hefting my purse over my shoulder, and turned my cell phone back on. The second it lit up and I was able, I shot out a text. Landed. Getting off now.Romeo's response was instant, and I smiled.I'm waiting.
