[[ the dreaded author's note ]]

Well, aloha my little munchkins. ;]

I know what you're thinking, 'OMG, that stupid lady has finally updated the story, after like, what a year? I gotta check this out!!'

Yes, the stupid lady has finally updated. Thank God! Praise the heavens above!

Alright then, before I continue with this story, did you notice I changed the name? Yes, before it was 'Love is Overrated', by now it's 'Lips, Lust & Love'!

Nemo ;/ Jeez, sounds like a cheeky five dollar romance novel.

Willow ;/ Shut up Nemo, no one asked your opinion.

Anyways, woah. You guys gave me so many positive reviews! :] I love you all, but I love my parakeet more, (he's a very jealous fellow) xD

I gave my promise to True, (TrueJackVP408) that I would update this weekend, got to give her a mega thanks for reminding me to update, I got so caught up on school, projects and stuff. Sorryies. ;P

Oh, and by the way all the chapters are named of songs I love. This chapter is 'Every Breath You Take' by Sting & The Police, the last one was 'Stuck In The Middle With You' by Stealers Wheel, two very different songs but equally awesome nevertheless! :D

EEEKKK! Did you guys see the Total Drama Action Special Episode 27 - Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Show?

[SPOILER ALERT]

I genuinely pissed at how crappy it was, and how DxC made up and then broke up AGAIN. Even though, I still loved some the hidden jokes here and there, "… Fighting custody over their raccon Brittany…". LMAO, right there. And the random make out scene on DJ's tour bus. Hehehee… ;]

[END OF SPOILER ALERT]

I changed chapter 1 a bit, not a whole lot but a bit with names and titles.

So, sit back, relax and enjoy with another chapter. Seriously, you deserve it for all the hard work you did with the reviews and encouragement.

Woah, REALLLY long author's note. Sorryies, again.

So without much further ado, another chapter of Lips, Lust & Love

-W.


Lips, Lust, & Love

Chapter 2

Every Breath You Take


Courtney's POV

She knew his type even before she had ever put her russet colored eyes, on him. She knew he was another one of those boys, those boys who only wanted to get into her pants, and then leave her off, crying, on the floor, begging him to take her back. Him, alternatively, didn't even look back to her pleas, her prayers, her sobbing sodden tear leached face.

Her mother had warned her about his type. And there was no was she was going to risk her career, her life, and most importantly her heart on this.... this boy who should have come with a warning sign on him.

No, she was to avoid him at all cost.

That was, until, he had decided to flirt with her.

Her, her! Of all the citizens that were sitting in the diminutive airport lobby, he just had to flirt with her! Why not the sultry fake blonde flight attendant? Why not the sprightly, hyper brunette next to her, reading the latest issue of the Cosmopolitan?

'Tranquil yourself, Courtney. You're just being melodramatic, to this predicament. She thought

Just ignore the guy and he'll peacefully go away' She decided to go on with her own advice. She pressed her lips together, and resumed back to her romance novel.

"What, are you mute or something?" the irrational, inconsiderate boy said looking directly at her.

"Well," he said a smidge bit infuriated at the girl, who was without a suspicion ignoring him, and pretending to be fascinated in her petite, battered out, paperback romance novel.

"Are you?"


Duncan's POV

He was a tad bit enraged with the girl.

This was definitely a challenge for him, Duncan, the heartbreaker. He was used to girls plunging all over him, desperate, begging for him, for a chance, a stupid damn opportunity, to be his one and only lover.

But Duncan wasn't like that; he wasn't like that at all.

He loved to break girls' hearts, take it in his hands, oh so lovingly, looking down at it every moment as if it was something esteemed, brittle and astonishing. He would stroke it, vigilantly, transfer one hand on the left side of the heart and capture the other hand on the right side.

And he would poison the heart, using something horrible and vile, such as making out with another girl, and when his girlfriend saw, apologize, which was sham, of course. At that step, he had given the heart a medicine, and slowly the heart was restored back to health.

The heart's affliction wasn't done quite yet.

Hers, all Hers, … to notice the jealous looks of the other girls, when they saw Duncan and his girlfriend walking arm and arm; in good spirits, giggling at each other, elated at a secret comment they had both shared.

Then, if the added things he had did to the heart wasn't enough, he carry out something that was just inhuman and ruthless. He executed something most wouldn't even have the nerve to do.

He take advantage of his lover, and then deceive her off her money and assets.

Yes, Duncan was a con man.

And that was what; when he originally saw her, want to do.

And he thought it was austere, unproblematic, seeing that she was clutching on to the flimsy paperback novel pretending to not give a damn about what was going on in his head.

"Babe, you look so damn beautiful today." He effortlessly swayed

"You devilish brute, you really think you can swoon me?" She replied fleetingly, she took her eyes off her book, and looked up into his eyes.

He had never notice how her eyes flickered like stars, the multifaceted, shadowy auburn brown color of her eye had looked so engaging on her tan skin.

He tried to get that thought out of his mind.

She is just your little toy to play with, so focus, Duncan.

"So, whatcha reading, Princess?"

It sounded like he was asking himself that question. He scooped down to reach the book lying on the verdant seat. The girl tried to get the book before him but he was rapider than her. She grumbled; something about dim-witted pigs and men.

"Oh, 'Matthew, My Everlasting Love', God, how retarded is that title." Duncan said smirking down at her.

"It is not! It's a classical and delightful love story!" She immediately defended.

"Hmmm … what's inside here," he said taking her black and white striped hobo Marc Jacobs bag into his left hand; for his right hand contained the novel, and shuffle quickly through the contents.

"Orge! Give that back to me!" she yelped out.

"No can do, Princess; you've got to catch me first," Duncan said grinning like an idiot; he gave himself a pat on the back for such a clever proposal to work on Princess.

Princess, huh? So you already gave her a nickname? You never gave ANY of your other girlfriends nicknames.

"Shut the hell up, voice." Duncan said in his head.

"What!?!" she emitted out, breaking him away from his thoughts. Duncan wondered if she had seen that look on his face. Even, if she did, he would act as if it never happened.

He waved the paperback book and the bag in his hands, as if he was challenging her, and raised it a little above his head. Then, he said two very unpretentious words. If it had been uttered in a different place, time and person, the girl would have just laughed at the childlike statement. But this was Duncan, and Duncan was not, and never will be pure in any such way.

"Catch me."

And with those two words, off he went like a racing car on the motorway.

Courtney's POV

That ogre! That cretin!

She calmed herself down a bit, before drifting her thoughts away to a certain contemptible, despicable, misery-causing punk creature. She then tried to reassure herself that she could and would catch that orge, and she would turn in him into jail, where he belonged.

You can do this. You will be victorious.


Review my little munchkin army! I command you as your leader. xD

Just a notice, the next chapter's title will be 'Love Isn't Always On Time', try and guess what song and artist it comes from. If you do, I will give you a cupcake with frosted Duncan on it and a place on the next chapter's author's note.

My goal is to reach hundred reviews by the chapter ten. I know it is a huge goal, but the people who review the quicker the chapters come up. Sorry if I seem selfish, and evil for making you and other people to review so much, but I'm a voracious, greedy person.

Like I said review, review! :]
