Prologue
*AJ*
I realized I was in love with her the second time I saw her. The only trouble was, she was on Nick’s arm. Not really on his arm, they were actually sitting in a booth at a club, and I could tell they were together.
She wasn’t what I would consider Nick’s type. He usually went for the tall, gorgeous, blondes who bordered on being ditzy. Sure, he always talked about wanting a girlfriend who loved him for him, but he always ended up with women who were after his money or his fame.
So, here I was, staring at this petite brunette that Nick was holding on to. Yeah, petite. And kinda pudgy. As I watched them, he said something that made her laugh, and suddenly she was looking right at me.
Yep. Our eyes met across a room, and I gotta say they were the most beautiful eyes I’d ever seen. And then she looked away, and I felt my stomach roll when I saw the adoring look she gave Nick. As though he was everything to her.
Life’s a bitch.
It’s all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want
Doesn’t want you too
