So...I have no idea how I started getting back in the writing gig. Probably because I've watched Teen Titans and Totally Spies nonstop lately and reading a ridiculous amount of fanfics. I cooked this story up because...well, I finished studying for my Biology exam and had nothing else to do. This story is rather realistic despite how unrealistic the theme may be haha. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy :)


Prologue

Staring into his eyes was almost becoming too painful to endure. In fact she wasn't sure whether she wanted to turn away from him and run for the hills, or jump into his loving embrace. There nothing that could give her the strength to break away from his penetrating gaze that practically burned into her very soul. She knew that if it was going to continue like this her legs were going to turn to jelly and she would fall over, knowing that he would catch her with no hesitation. It was how dedicated he was to her, and that was what frightened her. There was still so much she didn't know about him, yet there was a small voice in the back of her head that wanted to know how he ticked; every nook and cranny in that brain (if he had a brain) of his she wanted to take apart and discover just what it was that made him so…irresistible. She wanted to touch him, run her hands through his soft brown hair while he had his powerful, strong and oh so manly arms around her; holding her and keeping her steady while she nearly fainted from the strong and gentle gaze his blue-green eyes were driving into her. Like the gaze he was giving her right now. The past few weeks had been slow and cautious, because she wanted to make sure that everything he said was true, and even though she hadn't said it to him yet, she had believed him a long time ago. But even now in her confused state of mind, she was so sure that everything he had done for her to this point was genuine, and right now she truly wished she could return the favor with unrelenting love.

But unfortunately it wasn't meant to be.

"Samantha…why won't you accept me?" He spoke after what seemed like an eternity. "Everything I have done up to this point was to prove how much I love you. Why won't you believe me?" He asked, once again giving her that same gentle look that showed nothing but sincerity, and it was clear that he showed genuine concern for their relationship.

If it could be called a relationship.

"Tim, I- you know why I can't. Look at you, you're not…really here," she said. "Of course I am. If you can see me, hear me, and even feel my touch, it's obvious that I'm here. I'm here to make you happy, and to give you the best life you can imagine," Tim said as he took a step toward the one person that he wanted to be with. There was a reason why he had been brought into this world, and that was to protect the beautiful angel that was standing right in front of him, and that was the beautiful redhead, Samantha Simpson. Tim didn't believe in destiny, but he knew that the purpose of his entire existence was to stay by Samantha's side, protect her at all costs, and give her the life, and love, she rightfully deserved. How could anyone not want to be loved by this…goddess? She had everything a man could ask for: grace, intelligence, a quick wit that was also used for her feisty comments from time to time), not to mention her ethereal beauty. In his eyes, she was a goddess sent from the heavens, and he had been the lucky one to catch her attention, and he'd be damned if he let her go so easily, not again. That fool had made that mistake the first time, and Tim refused to follow in his footsteps. No, he was going make his dear Samantha happy, and there was no one stopping him from fulfilling that promise.

"This isn't right, Tim," Samantha said in a quiet tone, though he could hear her loud and clear. "This isn't how you are. You're not in love with me! You think you are but you're not! The only thing you care about is getting revenge on WHOOP and Jerry, and making sure that Clover, Alex and I don't get in your way. Your name is Tim Scam. You're a high-profile criminal and that is what you live for!" Samantha said trying to get through to Tim, but a small part of her knew he wouldn't listen since he was stepping closer to her with slow, cautious steps.

Tim Scam was notorious for that. Both of them.

"That was the old Tim, and he was an idiot as far as I'm concerned. He spent his days either rotting in jail or rotting his life away plotting some moronic scheme that never worked out for his benefit in the end," Tim countered. "Either way, he wasted his life aiming for a goal he could never achieve." He ran a hand through his hair "Besides, this is my new life, and I want to spend it with you," Tim said stopping directly in front of her. This wasn't good, Sam could feel his chest against hers and she could breathe in the masculine scent of his that always drove her crazy. She wanted to believe him, she wanted to accept him as her love and let him embrace her and carry her away. But it couldn't happen. She couldn't let that happen.

Because he wasn't real.

Taking her silence as a sign to continue further, Tim leaned forward to whisper in her ear. "If you let me in your life, I'll be twice the man as he was. I'll make sure you never cry because of him again, and I'll always keep a smile on your face." Sam could feel hot tears gather in her eyes and threaten to fall down her cheeks, to which Tim quickly wiped away with his thumbs and looked into her confused and innocent emerald green eyes. "Sam…I'm here, in front of you. I love you so much, and I'm sorry for everything that happened between us. Between all of us. I am a changed man, and I can do so much more to prove to you that I mean absolutely no harm," Tim said. His voice was almost like a silent plea, showing that he was nearly desperate to win Samantha's affections. "Tell me the truth Samantha," he said with a more serious tone, "why can't you accept me? Why are you so hesitant to let me in your life when I'm clearly trying to show my innocence to you?" He asked, his blue-green eyes boring once again into hers while setting her soul ablaze once again. This time the tears really did fall down her cheeks while she could feel her heart breaking slowly. It was wrong, it was so wrong to have led him on these past three weeks and it was finally beginning to take its toll on her. The illusion was beginning to shatter and the cruel reality was setting itself in Sam's mind. She couldn't keep this masquerade up anymore, and what was worse was the possibility that this was possibly the last time he might tell her he loved her.

Just that thought alone left a sharp pain in her chest.

"Sam?" Tim asked, breaking her out of her thoughts. It was clear he was expecting an answer from her.

Sam hesitated for a moment before she looked into his eyes once more. "Because you're not the real Tim Scam."

The Tim Scam standing before her wasn't supposed to exist; in fact it was a mistake if one could call it that. It was an accident, an accident that nearly cost her and her friends' lives, and this was the end result. He was born, he was created, and he had feelings her that she knew that were impossible to believe. The real Time Scam would never admit such feelings for her because all he knew how to feel was anger, spite, and the insatiable desire for revenge. But now because of the accident that happened weeks ago, she found herself in a situation worse than she could possibly imagine.

She had fallen in love with Tim Scam's clone.


Oh my this prologue came out a lot more cheesy than I thought XD I hope you guys think otherwise. Anyway, please review cause frankly that gives me the motivation to keep writing. And feel free to give constructive criticism (there's a difference between constructive criticism and just being a flat out troll) I'm already half way done with the first chapter so please keep a look out! Feels good to start writing again ^~^ so I look forward to your opinions.
