♥ The Book Shelf ♥ {A Short Story Collection} So I've decided to bunch all my short stories together instead of posting them all individually. Some of the stories are longer than others and as much as I'd love to expand on them all and make them novels, some stories are meant to be short but sweet :) However, you will notice that the lead characters of one story will appear in others, so you'll see how their story continues that way. I hope you enjoy my book shelf of short stories. Each are different and unique in their own right so please check them out, give me feedback and PLEASE vote. *** Short Story #15 / ChickLit #13

So when her parents tell her that they have to leave her home in New York City to go to Los Angeles, she doesn't take it well. She never wanted to move or change or do anything new with her life.

When she arrives at Los Angeles and meets Brandon Davis - her next door neighbor - at the beach, she immediately dislikes him. But he seems to do anything he can to break Ariana's walls down. Being set on being alone and having a place of her own, Ariana's mission is to find a secret place that only she knows, just like in New York.

"Kiss me." He orders, slamming my locker shut. "Is she coming?" I ask, turning my head to look behind me, but he grabs my face and makes me look up at him. "Yes, now kiss me." I do as told, getting on my tippy toes as I lean up to kiss him. He kisses me back slowly, before he pins me against the lockers and deepens the kiss. My eyes widen and I try to push him away. This isn't part of the deal. He pulls away, a full on smirk plastered on his face. "I lied." He confesses, turning around. "She wasn't coming." Then, he walks away.
