After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019

When a good-girl is the only one who can control the bad-boy. WARNING: very clique.

Julia was a feisty girl, with a big attitude. She hated rumors, gossipers, people that bragged and specially cheerleaders. Don't get me started on sport. So realise her anger when Hunter James, the football captain and popular guy in school, dared to touch her food. That's right, her food. No one touches her food, and no one gets away with it. Hunter on the other hand did it on purpose. He had known Julia for a long time, ever since he was nine to be exact, and she always made him wonder. Why did she have that personality? Being dared by your friends to find out the Bitch of the school's little secret, well, that was a bad (but good) mistake. Even more...what was Hunter's secret?

Axel, the most feared guy in school, has never been one to give a damn about anyone. That changes when a certain brunette enters his life, causing him to do things he has never done before. Maybe the badboy does have a weakness afterall.

*COMPLETED* Ever look at that girl sitting in the corner all by herself and wonder why? Why does she sit all alone? Why doesn't she talk much? Why does she come if she doesn't even participate? Maybe she looks at you and thinks why too. Why can they sit around other people without being embarrassed by every little thing they do? Why can they talk to other people with out it hurting? Why can they participate without being embarrassed by every thing they say or do? There's more than meets the eye. Especially when it comes to quiet people.... This is the story of when she fell in love. So read carefully... the Quiet Girl says more than you think she does. Minutes pass, the conversation the rest of the room is having is slowly growing quieter and quieter in my mind as I study the features of the quiet girl. Her nose is small, her lips thin and quietly moving to the lyrics of the song, her ears are also small, but her eyes - contrary to her nose and ears - are huge. They're beautiful. A deep, dark green that only has one purpose - pull you in and hypnotize you. I look at them as long as I can, but slowly her long, blonde hair covers them and I almost reach out and tuck it behind her ear. She curls it. Her hair that is... But only on Sundays and some Wednesdays. For the rest of the week its long and straight. I notice I'm staring at her when I see she's looking at me, a soft smile playing with her lips. Check out Quiet Girl 2 and 3 if you like this book! They don't necessarily have to be in order btw... And if you like all of them, please suggest them to a friend!! Thanks y'all! This story is based on real events from my life with very little changes made (and if made its probably names), any similarities to you are probably fully coincidental. If not...
