Excerpt
Jas cleared her voice. “I’m sorry, Angel. I don’t really understand what it is you’re trying to ask.”
“It’s a very simple question, Jas. Girls want a guy to love them but rarely are we ever gifted with the privilege to do so.”
She rolled her eyes. “I can’t stop you from loving me. Why’d you really bring me out here, Angel?”
I let out a sigh and looked to the sky, praying for patience. This whole situation seemed to get more frustrating by the minute. Our communication was horrible. I wasn’t sure how else to get my point across to her.
I looked back at her and watched as impatience filtered through her eyes. She was getting as annoyed with all this as I was. For some strange reason, that caused me to laugh. There was a time when I could tell this girl anything. We had always been able to talk to each other, and now it almost felt like we didn’t want to speak to each other.
I couldn’t understand how we went from speaking every day-while I was gone, no less-to staring at each other all night. John had definitely been right about one thing: you go around thinking nothing is changing, and then one day you finally look up and everything is different.
“Look, Angel I’m not sure why you brought me out here but-.”
I cut her off. “Because we need to talk, Jas. You know this.”
She let out a frustrated breath and tried to move past me. I moved with her to block her path. “Why do you insist on running from me?”
Jas threw her hands up and let out a ridiculous sound. She jabbed a finger at my chest as she spoke. “I’m not going to stand here and wait for you to let me in, Angel. You want to talk, then talk to me.”
I grabbed hold of her wrist, stopping the assault on my chest. “Are you willing to listen?” That took her by surprise and she tugged her hand trying to force me to release her. I didn’t. I thoroughly enjoyed the feel of her skin against mine too much to let her go right away.
I drew lazy circles against her pulse and relished the way it sped up. When she spoke, her voice had a husky undertone to it and it caused me to curse under my breath.
“Why would you think I wouldn’t listen to you?”
My demons could destroy you. I don’t want my pain to break you. There’s a part of me that’s okay with you not wanting to be there for me. I don’t want to shatter the illusion you still have of me.
I didn’t say those words out loud. I should have, but I was holding back. I was still struggling with letting her in. I didn’t trust her to completely understand and accept the man I was now.




Shattered Synopsis:

Nicole Banks Bio

My name is Nicole Banks. I was born Aug 4th (Hello my fellow Leo’s lol) I’ve lived in New York City all my life and I love it here. It’s not what it use to be but, it’s still pretty dope.
I love the warm weather and just being near the water. I think every problem can be solved with either yoga, tea or a quick nap. (Nothing is too big that those three things can’t solve)
I like animals way more then people, cats especially. I think they’re my kindred spirits.  If I could I would have a sanctuary built just for them. (I’m probably going to be that crazy lady with ten cats when I’m wrinkled and grey).
I can survive off of pizza and pasta and I’m a coffee addict. I have so much caffeine in my system I can’t have coffee after a certain time or I’ll be up half the night lol.
While I’m a writer, music is my first love. Books are a second love of mine. I believe music heals your soul in ways nothing else can. I use music as my muse to write. I believe every song is just a story waiting to be told outside of the five minute mark.
I published my first book Shattered in 2013 and it’s the first book in my Shattered Hearts Series. The second book Into Pieces was published on June 30th 2015. I’m currently working on the next installment in the series.
