Hell, I tried to complicate things twenty-four hours ago, but he refused me like a gentleman. The sting of his refusal wounded me, even though I agreed with the reasoning behind it. ⠀ ⠀ “Complicated doesn’t mean wrong, it just has its challenges,” he argued. ⠀ ⠀ “It’ll get weird, and I’m not up for weird.” ⠀ ⠀ He leaned forward, back on all fours, edging closer. Too close. I stopped breathing. I couldn’t move. The banter had suddenly teetered off, I could feel the shift as it turned the room upside down, my heart inside out.⠀ ⠀ “Well, I want to kiss you,” he pushed. ⠀ The hairs on my arms flared and stood to attention as his energy invaded my own. “I want the awkward bits. I want the we can’t leave one another alone bits. I want to know what you taste like. I want to know what you sound like when you moan your complications into my mouth. I want to get really weird with you.” He kissed the tip of my nose, asking one more time. “Pretty please, Violet. Let’s get really weird and a whole lot complicated.” AUTHOR BIO Annie Emerson is an Australian author who started writing poetry at the age of fourteen. Poetry turned into lyrics, lyrics turned into music, and music crossed over into novels. The words became too big to contain, and she finally gave into her biggest dream to become a professional writer. Thirteen Hours To You is Annie’s debut novel and book one in the ‘Sometimes Goodbye is a Second Chance Duet.’ Annie writes with a poetic lilt, and loves to create characters that are relatable, perfectly imperfect, and a little bit lost. She only believes in writing happily ever afters, because real life doesn’t write enough of its own. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be less than a whole lot bumpy as the characters she writes find their way.
