Summary

A San Francisco boy. Double world champion. Famous bad boy. Adrenaline junky. And my brother's best friend. He seeks to control his guilt. I like the feeling of chaos inside. He hurt me. I hate him ... but love and hate sometimes are indistinguishable. Damion Grimm lives by the rules. HIS rules. Rules he never ever breaks. Fast bikes, fast brunets, fast life. That's how he copes. He doesn't do relationships. Especially not with his best friend's little BLONDE virgin sister. I'm not his type. But when my family's past comes back to haunt me, I learn that things are not always as they appear. Sometimes monsters like to hide. Sometimes bad boys can have wings. Sometimes hate can be love. Sometimes control can be lost. Sometimes sex can create miracle beans. But most importantly - I've learned that you can always make new rules.

POV - Melaena

Green eyes fly into my mind — brilliant green like summer apples covered in dew. Eyes with the ability to haunt my dreams. Day or night.

He moves his fingers under the lace of her panties, yanking them off. Moving slowly he kisses his way up her thigh, turning his head so his breath tickles her. She lets out a deep moan, moving her hips in anticipation.

I imagine my fingers combing through that silky raven-black hair.

He moves in, tongue lashing against her clit while his hands move under her hips pulling her into his face. She lets out a cry of pleasure, while he licks and sucks, moving his fingers into her wet ….

“Urgh!” I groan and close my eyes. Every single frickin time it’s the same. I can’t even read a trashy book without thinking of him. It’s not easy hating someone.

I press my legs together to dissolve the aching itch that forms between them as I throw the stupid book on the ground. Kiara peeps out of the closet.

“Melaena!” She’s using my full name for effect. “Stop reading yourself into a climax!” A pair of jeans hit me in the face before I can react.

“You better get packing! We’re leaving early in the morning,” she shouts excitedly pulling clothes from the shelves and throwing them on the bed. I stare at the heap thinking that she’s the one who needs to pack.

Kiara is a fashion-obsessed individual, unlike me. I will wear anything I like without thinking about who designed it or how much it costs.

She stops and looks at me, her eyes filled with mock.

“Please tell me you’re not sex dreaming about HIM again.” She picks up the book and peers at the cover picture.

“I’m not,” I lie in a snotty tone, knowing it will push a button.

“We’ve been on a year-long trip around the fucking world so you can get him out of your system,” she chastises. Swearing for real … she must be on a roll.

But she’s right. This past year, Kiara and I have been backpacking throughout Europe — a gap year we called it.

The purpose of this exercise was to clear my head … to decide what I wanted to do with my Donald Ducked life. So we’ve traveled from one holiday home, belonging to one of my family members, to the next, so I could clear my head and decide what I wanted.

But mostly I needed to get away from him.

My head is still a mess, and I haven’t decided what I wanted to do with my life — but that’s my own stupidness, and I’m not sharing it with the others — so I randomly picked something.

It was a great year. My brothers dropped in whenever possible. Even Uncle John and Axel joined us thrice — for Christmas, for Kiara’s 19th birthday, and again for mine.

But not him.

So tonight I’m going to see him face-to-face again for the first time in twelve months.

“And the first day back he’s haunting your mind again,” Kiara continues her charade. I just snort and pull my knees up to my chest.

Gmf. This time she’s wrong. He’s been haunting me the whole time.

“I don’t think I’ll ever get him out of my system … I hate him too much for that.”

She peers from the cupboard again with her war-face expression and growls out a snort.

She’s a realist who doesn’t believe in the nitty gritty stuff like soulmates … or love … or even hate for that matter. She dates good-looking blokes mostly for sex. A modern-day woman who takes what she needs and gives what she wants … her words not mine.

I, on the other hand, dream about …. well, let’s just say I dream about something different, something special, the sort of storybook love where two people’s eyes meet and BAM — true love forever. Like a Romeo and Juliet kind of thing — without the dying part, of course. Okay … let’s rather say I dreamed about it … in the past …

In the meantime, I’ve learned that real life is no fairy tale. Nope, real life is a frickin horror story. Where Romeo leaves poor Juliet in the tomb to fuck a slutty brunette on the side. And as if that’s not enough, he’ll again move on to the next brown-haired bimbo right the next day. And the next and the next.

The universe is cruel and mischievous, that’s for sure. Why else would it give me that eyes meet — BAM — part, just to let fate intervene and twist it into a screwed-up ball of claustrophobic frustration?

Yep, the perverted universe likes jokes, especially when it comes to love. No wonder people are getting more and more skeptical to risk their hearts … the living happily-ever-after dream is all just a warped cliché.

I would know — because of all the boys in the world, fate set me up to have my BAM moment with HIM! And it happened more than once — I had TWO BAM moments with the same boy. And they were really really good BAMs.

Until they were not.

The first one, at least, didn’t immediately turn into a disaster … it started with one. I was 9 (yeah it kicked off young) and our principal decided to introduce us to cross-country running. The whole school was to participate. It turned out that the field they laid out for us, was very close to the proclaimed and mysterious haunted house.

Legend has it that a demon from hell guards the place — ripping anyone who dares to trespass on the property into shreds. People actually died in that place. Jackson told me … and my brothers never lie.

It was a stupid idea … I know that now … but back then Jason Steward, local class bully, dared a bunch of us to slip away and investigate the house. Anybody who chickened out would have been labeled a namby-pamby … and knowing Jason … he would make it stick until we graduated. I was not going to sink my social status before it even started.

However, it didn’t go quite as planned. The outing went haywire. Both Kiara and I got hurt, grounded, and put into detention — with Axel. Jason and the runaways never got caught. And we never blabbed them out. I’m no rat. Neither are Kiara or Axel.

Eventually, my social status still sank sensationally in my freshman year — but the two are not related. That’s a whole different story.

But at least some good prevailed from the whole ordeal — Axel became a very important part of our group and I learned a thing or two about life: I should tread lightly when I’m in a haunted house; I couldn’t trust my stupid classmates; and cross-country was not my thing.

Oh, I also had my first BAM moment with some green eyes.

Eyes I would not see again until the first day of my seventh-grade year starting at Harvard-Westlake. I was annoyed because I landed in the principal’s office … not once, but twice on the same day. Innocently blamed.

Granted I dumped some pink milk onto a senior’s head and gave Jason a perfect shiner, but it was not undeserved. I don’t like bullies.

Anyway, when Logan called out behind me at going-home-time, I slammed my locker shut and turned around, ready to share my beef and wail about the unfairness of the system, knowing my brother would at least understand. Kiara didn’t.

But no words escaped my mouth. My breath and everything else got sucked out with force by teasing bright apple eyes. The hot-as-hell eight-grader standing next to my brother filled out his uniform better than Thor himself ever would, his raven hair was messy and that skew smile churned the cafeteria food in my tummy.

And BAM — another moment. Same eyes. Same boy. How could it not be fated?

At first, I thought … this is it — the true storybook meet-cute at the locker on the first day of school.

And I felt every feeling in the book. The increased heartbeat, the butterflies, the sweaty palms. I thought for sure he was the one.

But fate laughed in my face — turns out the boy Logan started a lifetime BFF friendship with was the same obnoxious boy who helped Kiara out of the hole at the haunted house; the boy who gave me his jacket cause I was cold; and the boy I would learn to hate. And I mean passionately HATE.

Who knew that hate feels disturbingly the same as love … your stomach flips and twists; your heart rate increases way over the limit of normal; you get drunk and high on adrenaline; obsessive thoughts, and behaviors cloud your mind; and you feel out of control.

“You still got his jacket in your cupboard?” Kiara flings something against my head. “Don’t you ever learn?”

I stare at the black leather jacket as if seeing it for the first time and not as if I’ve had it for the past 10 years. Running down the right sleeve is a strange green M with the words ‘Monster Energy’, while the Reaper skull with wings decorates the other sleeve between smaller patches with different logos. On the back is a huge number 13.

I quickly fold it and stuff it into my bag. To burn later. Probably.

But Kiara is wrong again. I did learn my lesson. The hard way.

Another piece of clothing hits my head.

“Are you done packing?” she asks. I nod and close the suitcase. I can come back for the rest anytime I want. It’s not as if we’re moving out of state … just to our own beautiful townhouse complex.

The one built on the site of my sort-off childhood home. Sort-off, because we only lived in it for a month or so, before Mom was murdered … what … eight years ago … almost nine. And the home then mysteriously burnt down to ashes only a week after we moved to Uncle John’s. Faulty wiring the police said.

It was then that Uncle John decided to build five separate dwellings on the property — one for each kid. It’s ideal … we all stay together but separate.

It’s there where we will reside while at Standford … Kiara is enrolled to study accountancy, while I finally decided to study art for now. And then I’ll see where life leads me then. I’ll probably keep on freelancing for both Ubisoft and Rockstar games, or I could try getting in at Googleplex or Applepark.

I put the discarded novel on top of my suitcase. I don’t know why I even bother to read it. It’s not well written, the grammar sucks — a bunch of crap really. And the couple on the cover is so cliche. The whole stereotypical romantic pose makes my skin crawl with frustration. I sigh deeply. I’m so uptight my neck is pulling into a spasm.

“You know he’s going to be here tonight?”

Of course, I know. That’s the whole darn problem.

I hate Damion Grimm so much that I feel sick whenever he’s around and frustrated when he’s not.

He’s like an itch under my skin I just can’t get rid of — and I swear it’s increasing in intensity each year. It’s getting almost unbearable — so much that I’m scared of doing something irresponsible one of these days — like ripping off his balls or worse … licking them.

Yeah, there’s that. Don’t judge — I have a theory: Because the feelings of love and hate are so closely related, a person’s hypothalamus gets confused and wrongfully floods the body with dopamine, a neurotransmitter that produces feelings of euphoria and pleasure. It’s why hate can feel so thrilling and, at times, even addictive and why you can’t stop thinking about the hated person. The problem is that it also triggers the release of estrogen, which increases your libido. And voila … you want to seriously jump the bones of the person you hate. It’s all natural.

I realize Kiara is staring at me, tapping her foot impatiently, waiting for a response.

“Yes.” I pull my lips into a serious pout. I need her off my case.

“But I’m seeing Ren remember,” I say, having learned the trick to dealing with Kiara is a solid diversion. However, the same trick applies to me — I’m easily distracted.

“So is he your for-real boyfriend now?”

“You know it’s complicated. He’s the first guy ever to ask me out.” I pout my lips at Kiara as she shoots me a pitty-full look.

“Actually, he’s not the first guy to ask you out … remember Jake?”

“Yeah … the hunky junior who asked me out in our freshman year but never showed. How can I forget? I sat at that coffee shop for two whole hours.” It was embarrassing and humiliating — everyone stared as if they knew I’d been stood up.

“At least he had a vivid excuse … he was in an accident.”

I remember him apologizing profoundly the next day, avoiding my eyes. He said he fell off his bike. And it’s not as if he made it up … the injuries on his face and body were evidently real.

“Yeah, but he could have asked me on another date, at least. But instead, he was too scared to even talk to me properly. Hell, he could not even look me in the eye.”

“Maybe because he nearly died,” Kiara sounds sarcastic.

“It was not because of the curse,” I snap. Some moron started telling the whole school that any guy who dated me would experience excruciating pain. And that’s how the Mel-curse started.

She frowns while folding a shirt. “I still don’t understand WHY though.” That’s a very good question… what could anyone gain by cursing my social life?

“Or who.” Another good question. Who would start such stupid rumors?

“I always suspected Pink Scarlet,” Kiara tops.

I remember the poor girl. Not the most beautiful being in the world — a large black mole on her hairy chin; mousy-brown locks like a dirty wet mop; and she was big … huge as an ox. And for some reason, she hated my guts at first sight.

“Maybe.”

“I still can’t believe she had a date for prom,” Kiara says as an afterthought. “And even got shagged — TWICE.”

Yeah. Jake’s accident was the huge dip in my social status (mentioned previously) … and it never recovered.

Every guy in school seemed to swipe me into the ‘friend shone’ — they would talk to me, sit with me at lunch (not too close) — appropriate stuff. But I could never join in on spin-the-bottle, my ‘dares’ never involved physical contact and I never got asked to dance by someone other than my brothers and Axel.

I even went to my prom with Axel … or rather my brothers forced him to go with me.

I seriously thought they were the reason for my awkward social life. But they denied starting the rumors — and I know my brothers don’t lie.

Ug, it doesn’t matter anymore — this guy, Ren, asked me out and he lasted more than two dates now — without any injuries.

It’s not that he’s the love of my life — probably more a case of desperation. Sure, he’s very sweet and also easy on the eyes, but that gland in the middle of my brain is not creating its usual hormonal cocktail — not even a drop. No love, no hate, just plain nothing.

The stupid thing only seems to go on a spree around my brother’s best friend. As if somehow it got linked to that asshole.

Grabbing my sea turtle soft-toy, Pan … like in Peter Pan, I squeeze it against my bosom as if it contains all the answers. And like always my finger brushes over the sweet little red heart embroidered onto the bottom of his right back flipper.

“If you hate Damion so much why do you still sleep with HIS turtle?” Kiara rags in a chilly voice.

“It’s not HIS turtle,” I rave back. “He just happened to pay for it. And I only keep the stupid thing to always remind me of the evilness under his pretty-boy exterior. Like a talisman.”

“Um, mm.” She pulls her judgmental face. “Then why does Pan smell just like some hunky biker we know?” I take a deep whiff, letting that special scent linger in my nostrils.

Homme Sport. From Dior.

I bought a bottle and occasionally use it on Pan. Not only because of him, but because it’s most likely the best smell in the whole world. A composition marked by a raw freshness, powerful and noble all at once. It’s sensual and mysterious with smooth animal charm. I squash Pan against my nose.

The scent is utterly addictive.

Lemon and Bergamot add their juicy signatures to this fresh cool scent.

“I just like the smell.” I press Pan under her nose. “It’s nice.” She rolls her eyes and sighs deeply.

“Have you forgotten about the way he treated you?” I pull my lips in a tight line as a pain stabs through my chest. No. I’ll never forget. How can I? It happened TWICE.

Kiara snorts and grabs Pan. She swings the soft toy from side to side in front of my face.

“He bought you THIS … and then what happened?” She hits me over the head with said toy and continues quickly before I can get my ducks in a row.

“He knew you crushed on him, he played with your feelings, held your hand … and whoops … the next day a new girl was kissing his lips.” I sigh. She’s right. He begged me to go with him to the boardwalk.

He seemed sad and distracted, but we ended up having the best time ever … holding hands, going on the rides, eating ice cream, playing games. He bought Pan for me because he knew that I like turtles — without me saying it. He just knew.

But the very next day he shattered my heart and hopes when I caught him kissing a brunette during break time at school.

“He’s a player, Mel. A badboy man-whore like all the dysfunctional boys in our group. It’s sad but true. Be glad you got to see his true colors so quickly.”

What Kiara doesn’t know is that there was a second time.

But to my defense, he kidnapped me at night … I didn’t go all willingly. We slipped into the Zoo. I remember feeling rather chuffed that he remembered the date we met — 1 March. It felt like a reunion. Special.

It was another great night and I lost my teenage heart somewhere between the tigers and the crocodiles. I really fell for him. Hard. This time it was not just a stupid little girl crush.

Kiara doesn’t know about the Zoo outing. Nobody does. Before I could tell her I’d fallen in love … I got utterly disgraced and broken. He appeared with Logan at our house the next day with a black eye and a slutty brunette on his side — without even giving me a second glance. I felt humiliated … used … broken …. and even as if the curse might be real. He was hurt after all. I never told anybody about our outing … not even Kiara.

Without ever talking about it, we both acted as if it never happened. Me, mainly, because I felt embarrassed and I also didn’t want my brothers to kill him. Damion, because … hell, who knows … he tends to keep his own score.

That time I was devastated and I secretly cried for weeks. With every tear that fell the hate grew in my heart. And I can honestly say that I now loath the man with every fiber inside me.

Since then I just ignored the annoying dimwit, acting mostly as if he is invisible, only talking to him when I absolutely have to — and even then I am as hostile and cold as possible.

But of course, Damion, on the other hand, goes out of his way to annoy and antagonize me every moment he can … and believe me, he can. He can get me from zero to mad just by opening his mouth.

And at the same time from dry to wet in just one stare. Yeah, hate still causes that serious physical attraction. But it’s only chemistry, not real. Not like the pain I felt in my heart — THAT was very real.

And each encounter I see him with a slutty brunette drives the hatred I feel deeper and deeper into my soul. And there’s been a lot of those believe you me.

“I know he’s a shag-rat. But have you ever noticed that he only sleeps with brunettes?”

“So he has a type,” Kiara is not amused. “They all do. Enrique likes gingers, Ilkay likes dark hair, seemingly so does Axel, Logan goes for blondes, and Jackson does any pretty thing with a vagina.” I snort. She’s right. They’re a lot of dysfunctional man-sluts. The lot of them.

“Maybe I should stick to Ren,” I say more for myself than her, to be honest. Ren is a really good guy, that treats me pretty well. But there’s no sparks. Not even a flicker.

And he’s moving way too fast — already talking about getting married and having children. I’m only 19 for crying out loud. I’m not even thinking about marriage (certainly not with a guy who can’t set my mammillary region on fire) and I, for sure, don’t want kids anytime soon. Maybe 10 years from now. Maybe. Hell, I won’t even know which side of the baby is up and which side goes down.

Honestly … I’m not sure I want to have sex with him.

Kiara told me that sometimes she has to fake it … because it’s just blah (she stuck her finger in her mouth here to accentuate the dullness).

I don’t want to have BLAH sex. Not my first time.

Kiara snorts. “I would dump his ass and move on to the next one … now that you’re in the game and the ‘curse’ —” she makes air quotes with her fingers, “— is broken.”

I sigh. How can I tell her, that it’s my hypothalamus that might be broken? That I only feel any sparks around Damion. And whenever I kiss someone HIS frickin green eyes pop up and laugh at me — as if they know no man can compare.

I wish I could delete Damion forever from my life because it’s as if my mind, body, and heart are in a constant war, each one fighting for a different outcome. My mind repercussions me about staying miles away from the cock-ass, my body lusts for his cock and his ass, and my poor little heart is hoping just to come out of this shit in one piece.

And truthfully, I’m not sure whose side I’m on.
