RAFAEL I'm not gentle, I'm never a gentleman. I've not been one. Linda Cooper made sure if it. My father made sure of it. Inside me is hollow of myself. My ruin. My failure. The broken piece of what I am... My heart hasn't hammered this much, Ace hasn't prowled this much. It sudden feels right. Having her so close feels so f*****g right. I'm trying as hard as to concentrate in the charts before me, but it's useless. My thoughts is clouded by that girl outside... I could tell she was looking at me. I could tell she was thinking of me. Same way I f*****g am. My head feels like it's been running a marathon. I need to focus, but it's damn near impossible with her out there, watching me, tempting me, calling to me. The taste of her lips still clings to mine, and her scent... it's still so
