Restless Night

<p>I loathe Micah Reed. Yet I can't keep my eyes off him.</p><p><br></p><p>Years ago he opened his mouth in a room full of our peers. Said nine words and ruined my life.</p><p>My high school crush did exactly that... crushed me.</p><p><br></p><p>But I am no longer the quiet loner girl from high school. The girl who let others trample her spirit.</p><p>Now I take charge. Stand tall. Bend to no one. Never again.</p><p>Especially Micah Reed.</p><p><br></p><p>Peyton Alexander makes me question my sanity. Yet I refuse to stop antagonizing her.</p><p><br></p><p>Since her first day at work she has given me the death glare. Lipped off and verbally slapped me.</p><p>And every night I go back for another round.</p><p><br></p><p>Not sure what I did to deserve her animosity but I plan to find out. Plan to fix whatever mistake I made.</p><p>Although I live for her banter I want more with Peyton. The attention she gives other men I want it for myself.</p><p>Call me presumptuous but Peyton Alexander will be mine.</p><p><br></p><p>Micah wants me because I don't fall for his charms.</p><p><em>Peyton resists to deny herself the truth.</em></p><p><br></p><p>Will he figure out who I am?</p><p><em>Will she ever let me in?</em></p>
