A fanfic focusing on the characters Mariah and Tessa from the daytime soap opera Young and the Restless. They aren't together on the show (at least not yet *fingers crossed*) so this is my version of how it could happen ;-D ***It's been a long, long time since I've written fan-fiction, so I've forgotten how that disclaimer thingamagig goes. Anyhoo, the characters of Mariah and Tessa (along with any other Y&R characters who might pop up or are at least mentioned) are the property of the CBS network and Young and the Restless.

Eighteen year old Rowan Harris has it all; the brains, the looks, the charm, and a coveted spot in the world's most exclusive film school. There's just one problem: Rowan's life might not be as perfect as she'd like you to think, and her glamorous new teacher is no stranger to secrets. With everything on the line, things are about to get a lot more complicated. - disclaimer: language, general moral ambiguity, mature themes, underage drinking, drug use/abuse, mentions of sexual assault and physical/psychological child abuse, etc. parts of this story are very dark, so read at your discretion!

"Are you... lost?" Someone asked, her tone impatient. I stopped scanning the room to find the woman behind the voice. I blinked. She had the most luminous blue eyes I had ever seen. Even in the dim glow of the bar they glowed brightly, like her pupils were some type of smooth stone at the bottom of a clear blue ocean. Within her blue there flickered tiny speckles of silver, which gave her an icy, somewhat stony appeal. But it was her slight, lopsided smile that erased any signs of wanting to be alone. No wonder this bar was so popular. "Uh, no," I said, holding up the Help Wanted sign I had snagged from the front window. The woman's cool eyes flickered between the sign and me. She didn't say anything, only looked slightly thoughtful as slender fingers raked through her long blonde hair. "What can you do?" She finally asked, definitely not expecting me to be able to do much of anything at all. She'd be right. "Anything and everything," I answered-lied-instantly, hoping I didn't look too desperate, didn't sound too eager. To be perfectly honest, I hadn't worked a day in my life. My hands were used to weekly manicures not hard labor. But desperate times call for desperate measures. The blonde appeared thoughtful again. Those magnificent eyes gave me a once over, slow and steady. You could see the cogs turning in her head as she considered it. I decided to try and sound more convincing. "I have many skills," I added. Okay, so I stole that from Xena, but I was hoping it worked as well for me as it did for her. The blonde lifted a sculpted brow and the smile was, once again, back on her lips. She seemed amused. Maybe she was a Xena fan? "Alright... I'll start you off cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping the floors, doing the dishes..." Crap.

And if you'd rather not, that's completely fine! This was somewhere else, from ages ago, but I was tidying up and thought I'd put it here and try and do more, that's all. But um... to say it again, very clearly, about bdsm!!!

Dylan Tate, a San Francisco native, was perfectly fine with living a carefree lifestyle free from any major responsibilities. One particular day life smacks her upside the head with a greater responsibility than she could have ever bargained for. Will she fail at becoming a grown up or can she rise to the occasion? Layne Bishop, on the other hand, was quite familiar and comfortable with responsibility. She was also already a grown up, something she had to achieve sooner than would usually be necessary. Layne yearned for commitment, love and family -- none of which she had in NYC. Could a trip across the country deliver better fortune? ***Note: I hope you'll give it a chance, but you may not want to read this if intimacy between those belonging to the same gender is not your cup of tea :-) If you do choose to read on, if you'd be so kind please share your thoughts with me.

•GirlxGirl• |I want to wake each morning in your arms comforted by your oddity seduced by your knowledge of my ways and I want you to crack my heart of glass| "Miss Conner?" I was surprised. I hadn't seen her since last week and figured I never would again given the stunt I had pulled. She looked up and started to walk over. A shiver went down my body as I took her in. The dark blue flannel complimented her long blond hair and blue eyes, while the skinny jeans showed off every curve she had to offer. She was breathtaking. "Hello Shay, how is your night going?" My mind turned to mush as her lovely voice flowed over me. "Uh....um its good, I mean, it's going great." I stammered. She said nothing for a long moment, just watched me with those cool blue eyes. "I'm glad." She said finally. I couldn't hold it back any longer. I took a step closer to her, and I could see her tense out of the corner of my eye. "I just wanted to apologize." I was glad when my voice was steady when I spoke, funny since I'd been a stumbling fool earlier. Miss Conner just watched me. I fought the urge to reach over and shake her. That impenetrable mask that she always wore was driving me crazy! "For what?" My brows furrowed and I stared at my English teacher in confusion. "For kissing you." •This is my first book, so be mindful of the spelling errors and please respect that I am not a published, world-wide known author. Thanks.•

Love shouldn't be ignored. It's an emotion of the utmost importance and value. No matter what obstacles there might be, no matter how long it lasts, we should appreciate it while it's here, because it is such a precious gift. Dedicate each and every day to cherishing the ones you love. Let's take a walk together near the ocean shore Hand in hand you and I Let's cherish every moment we have been given The time is passing by... Lyrics from "Cherish" performed by: Kool & the Gang
