An enemies-to-lovers romance by Danielle Allen
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS!!!
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS!!!
SNEAK PEEK
We weren’t touching yet, but my entire body hummed with the anticipation of his lips on mine. It was clear that the energy between us was as toxic as it was magnetic. I knew it was in my best interest to walk away. Even as we were listing the qualities we didn’t like in one another, there was something pulling us together. We went from a car length apart to mere inches. And as much as I told myself I didn’t like him, I couldn’t explain why every square inch of me yearned to be touched by him.

He has a big…smile.
It was the first thing I noticed that day until he stood. His grey sweatpants hung off his hips and I didn’t want to look. I really didn’t.
I’m a feminist.
I don’t believe in objectifying men. I don’t catcall men. I don’t ogle the bodies of men. I don’t view men as objects of my affection rather than complex people with feelings, wants, and needs of their own. I don’t treat men the way society often treats women.
I treat men the way I want to be treated as a woman—with respect!
So, when Carlos ran into me while I was reviewing my interview questions in the park, it surprised me to see my photography classmate out of context. I was also surprised to see as much of him as I did.
It wasn’t just that it caught my eye. It was the fact that it held my attention.
It wasn’t just that it was large. It was the fact that it was visibly large.
It wasn’t just that it was Carlos Richmond. It was the fact that I am Akila Bishara.
And I am not seduced by anything other than intelligent conversation, witty rapport, and meaningful actions.
I am not seduced by a dick print.
I am not.
Seriously, I’m not.
