He says before heading to the back and grabbing a case of soda to restock the now empty refrigerator. I look out seeing a pack of motorcycles heading off down the street.

In Sickness & Health
Ailing's life took a dramatic turn the day his family arranged for him to marry the President of the Zhou Group. With a heart full of rebellion, he turned them down, choosing instead to run away with his childhood friend. It was a choice that would haunt him forever. As the years slipped by, the man he once adored revealed a darker side-controlling, abusive, and suffocating his spirit. Ailing found himself a prisoner in a gilded cage until a harsh diagnosis shattered his world. Stricken with a debilitating illness, he tried to return home, only to be turned away at the door. In the end, Ailing breathed his last in a sterile hospital room, utterly alone, with no one to hold his hand or share his final moments. But then, fate offered him a second chance. .... Rebirth With a jolt, Ailing found himself in his father's office, a wave of realization flooding over him. He dropped to the floor, utterly determined to reverse the worst decision of his life. This time, he would marry President Zhou. ... MC: "If I agree to marry you, do you promise to honour our marriage vows?" ML: "What do you mean?" MC: "That is... even if I get sick, you must not abandon me." ML: "Are you sick? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?" MC: "No, I shouldn't be... but and this is just a hypothetical, but if I did get sick with some incurable or debilitating disease, would you honour your vow to love and support me through sickness and health?" ML: "That depends. Will you honour the other parts for me?" MC: "The other parts?" ML: "To have and to hold, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish, till death we do part." MC: "I would!" ML: "Then it's settled. Let's get married," ML said as he grabbed MC and pulled him towards the luxurious black car. Before ML could think, they had reached the Civil Affairs office to register for the bright red marriage certificate ....
The Moon Shines On Starlight
*Warning ahead content contains animal abuse It was dimmed. I couldn't see. Oh, but I could smell. The sweet scents all around me. Then I smelled her. I immediately knew who she was. My mother. My creator. I went over to her screaming my way between my two siblings. Although I was just a puppy, I could recognize my surroundings. When I was finished drinking the milk from my mother, I moved away. I felt a hard surface underneath me. There were plenty of other scents too. One that smelled delicious. I also couldn't hear, but I could feel movement. I was removed from the hard surface and handed a much softer place. There were these weird bumps over the softer surface. It moved me around, and I was set back down in place on the floor. A couple of weeks passed though I couldn't feel it. Each day felt as if I was still a newborn. Time was not essential in my mind. As I got older, my senses started to sharpen. I could see and hear, but the one thing I couldn't see was color. All I saw was black and gray. My mother was very furry, but so was I. I would often smell her, and I liked how her scent smelled sweet. When I could, I would find food around a dumpster. We were learning more as we got older. I had two sisters and two brothers, as I was one of the girls. We spoke to each other often, my siblings and me. "Let's go, children." Mother said to us in a soft voice. We knew how to communicate. When we fought over food mother, would tell at us. I didn't like being in trouble. I was usually quiet. One day I learned the soft surface that I had encountered was a human hand. I had felt that same surface when a human came up to us. The human loaded all of us in their vehicle. We came upon this strange building. The human let us out in this strange building. There were many scents. I couldn't place them all at once. I concentrated on one specific scent. Strawberry. It smelled so sweet, and it started to hurt my nose.Complete
Twisted
"I think I'm gay." I say, leaving out the part about my... exposing dream about him last night. I watched his expression, waiting for some sign that he was angry. I waited for him to call me a faggot, to curse me off and tell me he never wanted to see me again. Instead, I was greeted with his perfect toothy smile. "That's great man, I'm of proud you." He says, patting my arm as he stuffed another cracker in his mouth. "It takes some real balls to come out to someone." He says, his beautiful green eyes blazing into mine. I felt myself become flustered at his gaze. "Uh, Yeah, Thanks." I stumbled out, "You're not mad?" I ask. His expression turns to hurt as he crinkles his eyebrows. "Why the hell would I be mad?" He asks, hesitating on the crackers and pushing them away. "I just thought-it's just- well... you just always seem so pissed when someone mentions the word gay." I spit out words, scared for his reaction. He sighs, "That doesn't fucking mean I hate gays. Normally when I do that it's because someone's using the word 'gay' to hate on them, it just pisses me off, you know?" He asks, bringing the crackers back into his lap and biting into them. "Plus-" He adds on, "You're my best friend, if anything, you being gay is a blessing. I'll always support you." He says, glancing at me through the side of his eyes. I look away, towards the door to hide the crimson blush that I feel spread over my face. "Thanks." I all but squeak out. And that's the day I realized, I have a faint crush on my best friend. <><><><><< THIS BOOK IS BEING *MAJORLY* EDITED. THERES LOTS OF SPELLING MISTAKES AND NAME MIX UPS, SOME CHAPTERS WILL BE REWRITTEN Also, Please don't be mean to the characters, they aren't even close to perfect, but they don't deserve hate.Complete
I Always Come Back for You Volume 2
"You knew from the beginning what you agreed to." He mumbles flying his hands. "I know. And sorry if I couldn't stick around till the very end to be your best man for the wedding." I retort agitated. " What are you spouting?" His nostrils flare and his eyes narrow. "I'm saying I'm that 'No one in the closet' " I mutter " Isn't that ironic?" I snort again mocking. " Now kiss me before you go" His head jerks up at that. I know it's too much of punishment for him but damn me if I let go without a proper goodbye. "What?" " You owe me that much for a goodbye. You're an actor, I have seen you kissing guys before in movies, so it shouldn't be that hard. The more you hate it, the more I love it" It's ok. He can hate me and get disgusted by kissing me, but it's worth it. "Come on. Don't stall. Kiss me so I can name this thing something, and mourn it later" His darkened eyes study me, baffled " Why are you doing this?" He asks. I sigh " Never mind. Just leave." I drop my hands at my sides. " Fine. Sit!" I look up at him, not believing his words. Stepping back, I slump on the couch as he towers me. My breath hitches as his face shadows mine, his breath fanning my lips and his eyes are fixated on me. Then he leans in, so his lips brush mine in a brief touch, not giving me enough time to savor it. He retracts, staring at my eyes. The moment is over " At least I had a peck. I can't compla..." Before I can finish the words, his lips invade mine, bullying them to part, his upper lip rests on the bottom one, sucking with full power as he is a big mouth, consuming my whole. * Hey guys. Let's follow the story of Dae Sung and... Well, see it for yourself in the second volume of "I Always Come Back for You". Just a quick reminder the second volume is lighter in terms of content, full of butterfly moments and steamy scenes that should be read with caution. It has new characters and witty comebacks. Enjoy!Complete
Sooner or Later.
"He's gone." Those words wrecked my world. The walls that I've spent so hard building up crashed by the use of two words. He was gone. I actually broke down. I laid in bed for days on end where I heard a knock on my door. It opened and I saw James standing there. He looked speechless. I sat up and motioned for him to sit next to me. He sat down and he wrapped his arms around me. "Shh Charlie it'll get better." He said stoking my cheeks. "Tell me James please tell me this is all some sick joke." I said looking up at his eyes. "I can't. I wish I could but I can't we can do this Charlie, we can get through it and I need you to remember that no matter what happens, you'll always have me." He said kissing the top of my head. Little did my best friend know that I would be dead by morning. I can't live, I need to die.Complete
