Seeking Karma (23 page)

     I know it isn’t much.  There are seventy style olive green appliances, and the wallpaper is peeling off of the walls.  But if she’ll just say yes, I think I can turn it into something nice.

     I love this girl, and I want to spend the rest of my life making her happy.  Hell, I’d marry her tomorrow.  But, I don’t want to freak her out, so I’m going to take this as slow as possible.

     Her silence is making me nervous.  I walk over to her, and take her hand into mine.  “Karma, this is my new place.  I know it isn’t much, but I was hoping that you’d move in with me.”
  I rush through it, before I can back out, like a pussy. 

     She blinks up at me, and her lips slowly curve up into a big smile.  “I thought you’d never ask.”

     I release the long breath, I’d been holding, and sweep her up into my arms.  I spin her round and round.  “Do you have any idea, how happy you just made me?”

     “I’m the one that’s happy, Trent.  I love you!”

     Fuck yeah!  “I love you too, baby.”

THE END

     What do you do when you’re overweight, and don’t have any friends? When your own mom constantly points out every single flaw you have, every chance she gets?  How do you cope?

     For 18 year old Laney, she uses food as a coping mechanism.  When her life gets to be too much, and the walls close in around her, she locks herself in her room and binge eats.

     For the past 18 years she has been made fun of, and tormented by her classmates, mentally abused by her own mom.  She feels unworthy of love, and happiness.  She feels as if everyone hates her.  So she closes up, shutting down, refusing to let anyone in.  Too scared of being hurt.  It’s all she’s ever known.

     Things begin to change, when her perfect brother, Ajay brings his hot roommate, Levi home with him for the summer.

     Levi is just as cocky as he is sexy.  He instantly rubs Laney the wrong way.  She does her best to avoid him, but he doesn’t seem to take the hint.  The more she tries to push him away, the more he fights to get in.

     As they spend more and more time together, Laney begins to lower her walls.  But when Levi learns her secret, she shuts down again, and pushes him away.

     Can he break the walls she’s spent the last 18 years building?  He’s determined to help her, but in the process he ends up falling head over heels in love with her.  The one thing that scares him, is will she be there to catch him?
