Summary: Some use excuses about age or sanity. He uses strength instead.

Lord knows she's no angel.

She stirred up trouble as a child, especially anyone who screwed around with her little sister Carmen. She knew how to end up in some bad trouble, or be the trouble.

Good looking though, very stubbornly tough, fearless, she was about any guy's fantasy for the perfect female buddy. The only honest sin about her is she's so damn devious, you xan never trust her when she's got a wide grin on her face and an evil glint in those amber-chocolate brown eyes.

She's hard to impress too. To get on her good side is pretty difficult, but to earn her trust or respect, now that was impossible for almost anybody.

She was about roughly three months younger than him, got the same paycheck as him, and was about as much of a lover to thrill and action as he was.

'Can't use money, sanity, or age as an excuse,' he grumbled to himself, shaking his head and crossing those options out of his mind.

Mind you, he was a reasonable guy, but he had his own pride and self esteem to want to step down from his position and claim she deserved someone better as if to say he wasn't good enough. That would just hit a plain low and stupid area for thinking, especially for someone who supposedly had the good enough brains to have almost ended up in college.

'You couldn't possibly want a girl like her.' he thinks to himself, as if surprised. He wasn't an exact womanizer, but he had dated a few differenty types of girls in high school. The ditzy blondes, the feisty and catty girls, the cute nerdy girls, the list went on from anything but someone who was a feisty troublemaker.

She could pack a punch, and prove to be just as strong as any guy. No, more than a man than half the wimps that roamed this Earth. Most likely, she could kick his ass anyday, anytime, or overall at any given moment. That's where it had hit him suddenly for his excuse.

She's too tough for you.

Why else would Drake try to stay in denial that he was growing to like the hot headed Vasquez girl?
