A Little WIP Valentine Teaser
/
I am still holding a lot of secrets about my WIP closely to my chest but I thought for Valentines I would reveal a little somethun somethun...
Meet Xander
He is my gorgeous male protagonist whom I hope you will all fall in
love with. Now, I love a bad boy just as much as every other gal in the world but boy do I love a guy you can totally trust.
Xander is that guy!
Here he is again
Here is a little, unedited, tease with Xander and my MC Skye...
“Thank you for helping me,” she finally
replied and then almost as an afterthought she lifted her eyes and added, “but
why?”
“Why?,”
I shrugged, “Oh, you mean why did I help you?”
She nodded.
“Well it was cold out and you were shaking
and wet and well I …” I stammered not
sure how to explain away what, to her, seemed like a random act of kindness.
“Okay, how do you know me?”
Clearing my throat I considered the best
thing to say, “I really can’t answer that right now.”
“OOOkkkaaayyy, well why do you seem
familiar to me then?,” she asked frustration building in her voice.
I tried to hold my emotions in but her
saying that I seemed familiar brought warmth to my chest that had been missing
since I was nine.
“Skye, there are many things that you need
to know but I don’t know if you are ready to hear them. I know this will seem like the craziest thing
ever but will you put some trust in me without answers for right now?”
“What is your name?,” she asked
quietly.
I was impressed with her composure. I had a feeling most people in her situation
would have told me off but she didn’t.
Not yet anyway. She had been
through so much in her life, so much more than she even knows. Yet she’s sitting here calmly so I answer her
questions; all the while knowing that my answers may be the bomb that makes her
finally crumble.
“My name is Xander,” I tell her watching
her face carefully.
After a long moment of staring at me she
finally shrugs, “Xander? That’s cool,
with a Z?”
“No, an X.”
“Okay Xander with an X, I’m intrigued. I haven’t had much of a reason to trust
anyone for a long time but I’m choosing to trust you.” She says and then almost as an afterthought
she adds, “please don’t make me regret this.”
“Never,” I whisper back.
So, what do you think? Do you agree that Xander is WAY gorgeous??
I can't wait to unload more teasers on ya'll!
Until next time, keep on reading <3
