> A Mafia story that's more silly than serious. #2 in Chicklit 4/12/17 #7 in Humor 13/9/19 #8 in Romance ^ It's midnight once again, and I'm in my cramped room looking at all the old photo albums of my family before the split. Each picture holds a precious memory that's frozen in time. Picture by picture, page by page adds another tear in my eyes. A creak came from outside my bedroom, the teal wallpaper was pealing off the walls. I have been living here for 11 years. I quickly hid the album under my pillow and ran to my closet. She couldn't back yet? She normally comes home around 4am drunk and broke. The slits on the closet doors were my only source of light, that was coming from my lamp in my dimly lit room. My breathing became more rough and my heart was about to smash my ribcage. Wait, I'm a dela Cruz. I fight for what's right and I know how to fight! As I peeked through the gaps on my closet door I seen three men in black masks and suits come through the door. "Find the damn girl" one of the men say, I'm assuming he's the boss. The two men started raiding the bedroom and the bathroom, while the boss of the trio slowly walked directly to the closet. He had his hands on the knob of the closet, my stomach twisted. I backed away slightly to run up and attack the man. He opened the doors and I came flying out in my beautiful pj's. I caught he man by surprise and punched him in the stomach and kicked where the sun don't shine, I kicked hard to make sure he never had babies ever again. "Fuck!" He yelled as he collapsed onto he cold floor. I pulled a smirk on my face, which caused him to shoot a do glare out of those captivating eyes. The two men held me down while the boss rolled about on the floor for about 5 minutes straight, holding where I kicked him. "You just punched a mafia king darling, you're gonna regret it" He whispered softly into my ear while I was held in between the other two. Oh shit, I punched a mafia king!

It was like the touch of a hair, quick and barely noticeable, but I was hyper aware of everywhere he touched. I'd always been. "I need you." ••••• Skye Valkyrie has a secret. During the school hours, she stays hidden; good grades, never gets in trouble, casual clothing, the usual. No one noticed her, and that's the way she wanted to keep it. After school was an entirely different story. Any time she was out of that dreaded building, she wore leather jackets, harbored secrets, started fights, vandalized, pulled pranks, attended parties, you name it. She'd kept her extra activities well hidden, until a few guys from school happened to stumble into one of her schemes. Cyrus, Tyler, and Jay decide to strike a deal with Skye. During school, nothing changes. They're the same to her and anyone else they come across, and she's still the same girl that no one notices. After school, that's another story. There's one fault in this plan, and it's name is Ryder Williams. With a burning hatred for Skye and anything that relates to her name, the four will have no choice but to keep their acquaintance a secret. So, what happens when he finds out and his feelings for the loner start to change? ••••• "I'm only on the second chapter and I'm already in love with it" - k_dramalover "Reading the end of it my heart started hurting and my eyes watering.... you're doing a really good job of this story" - missg26 " :*) SO HEARTWARMING IT WILL WILL PROB MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY.

I put my hand on his waist, his slid down to my butt. His lips interlocked with mine, and it felt so good... his hand was on my boob, mine on his chest. His abs were rock hard, and I trailed my fingers over them. We stumbled around like that for a few minutes and the next thing I knew I was on top of him on a sofa. We continued to kiss, I spread my legs over his body. I was so drunk at this point but his body felt like heaven under me. I whispered in his ear, "Let's get wasted babe," He laughed and whispered back, "You have the best ideas. " ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Lucy White is the hottest girl at Rushmore High and she knows it. Every boy longs to get with her, every girl wants to be her best friend.

(TH#5)"And maybe in the end, in spite of all we said, all we did, all we met, we are only thoughts that evaporate into the effervescent whirlwind of time." Cole Winters is a perfect example of high school done right; star quarterback, good-looking, popular, he has the whole package. Things couldn't possibly go wrong. He lives for the present with no certainty on the future or anything it holds. Grace Loving is terminally ill. She's been cancer-free, but it can't be gone forever. She knows it. Everybody knows it. And it's only a matter of time before she bites it. But to maximize her living expectancy, her parents bring her to a well-known doctor operating a hospital just outside of Heart, North Carolina, where she finds her new home and, ultimately, Cole Winters. It's not love at first sight. It's not even love at fourth sight. But as they're thrown together in odd and unsavory circumstances, it becomes a battle between love and the desire not to hurt or be hurt, and the realization that in life you cannot have one without the other.

There's something about Jasper that pulls me in even as I want to escape. Maybe it's his piercing too-blue eyes that hide a lot of secrets. Or maybe it's his rock hard body that makes me forget that I am and should act like a princess. Whatever it is, I really should be careful. Because no matter how safe and protected he makes me feel, he is dangerous. And he is hiding something. And I really need to start being responsible. But then again... Where's the fun in that?
