"I feel like you will ruin me one day, Angelica." His voice was hoarse.



His forehead came to rest against mine.



"But why do I want to be ruined so badly?" He breathed.

I was a hurricane, lost and in search of purpose.

When we met it was like a collision of two catastrophes.

But who knew chaos could be so beautiful, so addicting.

And for a moment, he made me forget the destruction that is inevitable when two storms collide.

I eyed the crisp suit he had on. /"You're dressed up. Hot date?/" I teased.

He gave me a blank look and for a moment I thought he didn't understand but then he shook his head slightly and muttered. /"Not a date. Party./"

My ears perked up at the mention of a party.

I couldn't recall the last time I'd actually went to a party.

I tried to search my mind but came up blank.
