“Plain and simple. Three words. Eight letters. Say it. And I’ll have forever with you in it.” He whispered in my ear. My arms are resting on his shoulders, and were swaying to the sound of every creature lingering in the dark. The silence made everything special. Every memory, beautifully tragic or just tragic floating around us. . Mystical yet it felt so real. “I love you.” I whispered in his ear. We are standing above the world and everyone around us don’t seem to care. We have our own. The world where fairytales probably exist. The haven of every sucker of happy ever after. And I felt the need to say the magic words. I’m glad I did. But what he said, this man I’m dancing with ruins everything. “You’re dead.” He coldly said. - - - - - - - - - - - "You think I'm cool or nah?" Jared asked me suddenly. He asked like a little boy asking why we can't see the moon in the morning. "Of course you're not. You're so far from it." I answered quickly. That should sting. That must hurt. I'd be glad if it did. "I'm hot then?" he asked again. He's showing his infectious grin. Ugh. - - - - - - - - - - P.S i am allowed to choose two genres for this story, but it can be categorized into Romance too. :)

"I want to grow up" Did you say it when you were a kid? I know I did. Have you regretted growing up at some point in your life? Have you wished you could be a careless child once again? I know you have. Everyone has. The more you grow the bigger the challenges, the obstacles, the pain. Life gets serious. You get serious. You forget to smile at the morning sun shining down your face. You are too absorved by your problems to notice the beautiful world surrounding you. And when life gets hard, you wish more than anything to turn back in time and be that small child who did not know anything when he said "I want to grow up"

[Now free to read!] Scott Wilson isn't used to being corrected, and he definitely didn't expect to get his biggest dose of criticism by his coach's daughter - Elle Monroe. ***** When Scott Wilson is drafted to try out for the Marlies hockey team, it's easily the best day of his life.

Hudson Ellis is good at his job. Somehow, he manages not to annoy people when he knocks at their doors and asks them to contribute to the charity he works for - instead, he gets them to sign up for sponsoring programmes and fish whatever spare change they have out of their pockets. Even the infamously tough residents of New York City are falling victim to Hudson's easy-going ways and wide smile; that is, until one woman renders him speechless with sarcastic refusals and slams her door in his face. Perhaps Hudson would be able to forget her - if it wasn't for the fact that she lives on the same floor of the next apartment over, and they both have floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for a rather generous view into each other's flats.
