B- Broken Promises
She promised herself that she would never fall in love again…not after what happened with her ex. Love made you weak…love made you a liability…love made you vulnerable. She could have tried to chalk it up to pure and simple lust…and she would have been halfway right. For a long time that was what she went after…men or boys who could make her forget that her life was in pieces…but Brandon was different…Brandon was the last thing she ever expected…he wasn't just some sexy man who came into her life and wanted to sleep with her…she had gotten offers like that before…they never stayed…Brandon had stayed even when she gave him every reason in the world not to…even when she made it difficult…even when her family's problems interfered with his job…he stayed because he loved her…he stayed because he respected her…but most of all, he stayed because for some reason that she couldn't quite fathom, he liked being around her…liked her for her.
Most women would have been thrilled with that realization but for a woman like her… For a woman like her it was the most terrifying thing in the world…Terrifying because she was starting to think that just maybe, she might love him too…and just what the hell was she supposed to do about that? She wasn't a woman who believed in fancy dresses and white picket fences…she didn't want the American dream…she had that once and she never wanted it again…she just wanted to stay in his arms forever…and that thought scared her enough…Forever…just when the hell did Guya start thinking in the future… Damn him, she thought…damn him for making me love him.
