Made for Me
Weston Parker - 2018
I’m a self-made man, rich because I willed it so. Up from the slums in Boston to the top of the tallest high-rise downtown. I don’t ask for what I want. I take it. And right now, I want a woman by my side. Funny how when you want something so badly, and you start looking with eyes wide open, you find it. A beautiful, ballsy single mom shows up in an unlikely place, and I’m compelled to make my move. It’ll start with a job and become so much more. Why? Because I’ll take the necessary steps to make her mine, one kiss at a time. And she’ll fall for me, not because I’m a billionaire and have the power to pull her up in life, but because at the end of the day, she was made for me, and I was made for her. Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston
