“I want this to work..I really do.” Averey said quietly, barely audible. But he was about to leave for school again, while she was still stuck in their small town. And frankly, she didn’t know if she could bear the thought of him being around tons of other girls who were better than her.
“Well as far as I’m concerned, this has been a complete waste of my time.”
Maura was blinking, trying to hold back her tears. This wasn’t happening, this couldn’t be happening. “Just tell me why.”

“Okay, don’t get mad but I made a very impulsive decision today and well, I got a puppy.”
Connor smiled as he spotted a beautiful stranger.
❝Let me buy you a drink.❞
Leigh rolled her eyes at him. “Yeah, you wish.”
He turned around to look over his shoulder at her. “ You’re cold? “ His hand reached back to pull up the blanket to her shoulder. “ Do you want me to turn the heat up a little? “
Marisa smiled, he was always taking care of her. “If you don’t mind,” she said quietly.
“Maybe, maybe not.”
“Why not? We’ve been friends for years...does that not mean anything to you?”
“Okay, I have to pretend to dislike it a little bit so I don’t look so pathetically easy to influence. My fragile ego couldn’t handle it otherwise.” He smiled at her and sighed at the mention of boredom. “And what do you want to do?”
“Well you’re not doing the best job at pretending.” She said with a laugh. Marisa pursed her lips, thinking. “Well...we could watch a movie, or play a game. Or we could skip all that and go straight to bed.” She finished, suggestively.
wow i need paul wesley in my life
“I wish you would have been too but we can’t change the past now can we.”
“No...we can’t. I’m sorry, I really am.”
“And you are shockingly good at it,” the selkie replied with a low chuckle and a fond grin focused on her. “It’s going to be the death of me.”
“It’s a gift.” Marisa smiled at him. “Don’t act like you don’t like it.” She said, leaning closer to him. “Come on, I’m bored.”
“Probably not.”
“Were you even going to say goodbye?”
“So I’m creepy now?”
“I am not creepy. There are a whole host of words to describe me but I wouldn’t say that creepy is one of them… it is a little creepy in here, though, I’ll admit it. ”
“Well you’re always in places like this....therefore you’re creepy. But tell me, how would you describe yourself, I’m intrigued.” Tatum said with a laugh. “What do you think happened here?”
Omg yall, it’s April, which means that one month from today
“ … Uh.. “ he began, squirming in the other’s hold just a bit to try and get comfortable. “ You’re.. holding me too tight. “
“I’m sorry,” she said, loosening her grip. But only a little. “But it’s so cold in here,” Marisa said, pouting.
