This is a collection of short stories, about Todd. Some are with Blair and or Starr and maybe Jack but they are all from Todd's POV. There are about 6-10 of them, some are longer than others.
I have most of them already written out. thanks for reading my stories.
1. Karma
It didn’t matter what Todd did; he couldn’t escape who he was or what he had done. He knew he hurt people- that was who he was. He was meant to be alone- he was cool with that. He deserved that. No one owed him anything. Well that much wasn’t true, exactly. The world hadn’t exactly been fair to him, and karma had not been his friend, perhaps rightly so. So when he met Blair Cramer, he wasn’t looking for what he found that night- a chance to redeem himself and what he ultimately found.
When he met her, he didn’t know then that night would change the rules, the game, everything. All bets were off. She was not like any other woman he had ever met before. Yes, she needed something from him, probably his money, but what good was money if you couldn’t be needed? But Todd also got the very real sense of a connection, a deep connection, a kindred spirit maybe- unlike with he’d had with any other woman he’d ever known.
She was broken, that much was obvious. The way she talked about Max, about not needing anyone- it was painfully obvious to anyone within earshot that Blair needed someone, anyone, more than ever. And for some reason Todd could relate. For someone who claimed to want to be alone, to not to need anyone, he always somehow found himself surrounded by people. Whether that was a good thing or a bad thing was a different story. Todd could give or take people but there was something about companionship that suited him just fine.
Companion. Sure, he’d like to go further with Blair. Who wouldn’t? She was beautiful. But in all actuality he wasn’t looking for that, not tonight. And it seemed like what Blair had to offer was just a little bit better than that in it’s own way. Connecting with someone was a basic human need, but it was more than Todd felt he deserved he felt a little guilty. It was as if he knew he had gotten away with something and was waiting to be punished. He wasn’t fooling Blair nor was he trying to, not this time. Usually with women there was an ulterior motive on one or both parts but with her he knew what he was getting into- trouble, probably; mystery; yes, and complications; probably. She came with a past, but so did he, most definitely so did he. But tonight wasn’t about the past. It was about the present, about tonight, and the possibility of what might be. It was going to be a good night.
