Anneliese by pitifulkisses

NOT EDITED AND NEEDS IT HEAVILY Anneliese is a sweet, kind, empathetic, and outgoing young woman who has struggled finding a place to be herself. Often looking for new ways to meet friends, she wouldn't pass the opportunity to chat someone up. Even a stranger at the diner she works at to pass time. Xavier, a dedicated man takes to the nativity of Anneliese. He's direct, but prefers to keep to himself. Even an isolated man by choice can't withstand Anneliese's pull. Gravitating towards her, he manages to bring her a sense of comfort in her new life. ~ ❀ ~ I can't help but stare at her. Her face, lips, and smile, and her nose. Even her long, curled lashes. "Let's do a butterfly kiss!" She exclaims, pulling my face close suddenly. Kiss? My heart hammers in my chest, my breath hitching. Her small hands hold my face close to hers. It's not very forceful, I could pull away if I wanted to, but I let her have control. Her hands are warm and soft against my jaw. Getting closer, her eyes lashes flutter and I find myself holding my breath. She brushes her lashes to mine, her breath fanning against my lips. Subconsciously, I lean forward, wanting my lips to be on hers. June flutter her lashes, grazing her lashes to mine. Out of nowhere she bursts out in a fit of laughter. I flinch back. Butterfly kiss. That was not a fucking kiss. ~ ❀ ~ *Warning* Mature themes will be covered (language, actions, etc).

The Sign Of The Sun by yeahthisgirl

In this world there are two names on everyone's wrist; the person's enemy and their soulmate. Each person has no distinction between the two of the names, for that is something they must find out for themselves. But once they find their soulmate, the names disappear, so they will no longer have the name of their enemies marked upon them and they can live in eternal happiness. But sometimes, the names can get confused. After all, who says you can't meet your enemy first? [NOTE: We wrote this like two years ago I promise we've improved don't judge] (This was written with @im-gay-so-yay).

Love's Rapture by whitneymorgan91

What would you do if you met your soulmate when you were fourteen years old? What would you do if he was taken from you less than two years later? I decided to pretend it didn't happen and eventually people found out. After a year under the close eyes of my parents, the help of an amazing counselor, and a new environment, I was ready to start college. I'd finally let go of Breton and I was looking forward to my future as an art teacher. But then he showed up, this person from my past. He started making me feel things I wasn't sure I was ready to feel, especially because of who he was. What was I supposed to do? This story has a very traumatic death early on in the story, please use caution when reading as it could cause triggers. (Redemption Series, book three, can be read as a standalone) Book one: Finding Home in Redemption Book two: Redeeming the Darkness

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞 || 𝟏𝟖+ by ashluvfictionalmen

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book! This book will contain topics of SA, eating disorders, and mature content, if any of these things may bother you in anyway, please scroll! I hope when I finish this book I can public a clean version, with a different perspective leaving out these topics, but for now, this is how i've envisioned this story to go! Enjoy -Ash🌸

A Part of My Lovely Life by IsseSweet

Please, let me make your world spin around. Let me tell you about Bella, her best friend and her brother Ben. Let me make you question everything. This is a side-story to "My Lovely Life", which will make sense later into that book. This story can be read separately though, with only some characters appearing that can be recognized from the other book. This is about Isabella, her brother, and best friend. I'll leave hints here and there for you to see and to later connect some dots later into the story. I think you'll really like it because its a dramatic story that will (hopefully) make you laugh, cry, scream and make you want to never stop reading. And to all my precious friends that keep pushing me to continue updating and craving more, I love you more than you'll ever know and this one is for you <3

▂▂▂▂▂ 『 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄 』 ▂▂▂▂▂ On a person's 18th birthday, a counter reveals how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years they have until they finally meet their soulmate. The counter could change depending on the distance they have with their soulmate and only disappears once the other had introduced themselves to the significant other. For you, it was never a big deal since you thought it would take years before you even find your soulmate. But that wasn't the case. On the night of your 18th birthday, your timer said you only had 10 days before you met your soulmate--not a big deal and it was even surreal. But with chance encounters and fateful meetings with a certain white and red-haired male, your timer starts going haywire; going from seconds to minutes and then back to 10 days. And it seems like you don't even realize that both of you are soulmates at all. And you just happened to introduce himself to him earlier than he expected. What the fuck was he going to do now? ▂▂▂▂▂ Date Started: April 17, 2020 Date Ended: April 29, 2020 ▂▂▂▂▂ All Rights Reserved 2020 𝙋𝙇𝙊𝙏 © crynge
