More Than Friends

Julia's plan was simple. She'd make Aden notice her by trying to make him jealous, hoping he'd realize that they were destined to be. They'd already established a bond between them, but it never went beyond friendship, and Julia feared it would never move beyond that. Aden had no idea how to react to Julia showing up at one of his normal haunts. They were two different people who lived two different lives, and she was not the kind of girl who fit in with the uncultivated characters he often found himself with. But she was stubborn and determined, and nothing he could say would change her mind. She knew what she wanted, and she was going after it with a vengeance. It wasn't that Aden didn't care for Julia, he did, but he feared her like he feared nothing else. She represented the very thing that he'd been steering clear of, and he was just as determined to keep his life unattached and uncomplicated, as Julia was to have him.
