Loving Mr. Cavalier
When Liliana signed up to become a private flight attendant, she believed she had a general idea of what the job entailed. Strictly professional. What she didn't expect was for the mysterious, strict, straightforward Mr. Cavalier to take an interest in her outspoken yet naïve nature. With a stubborn billionaire refusing to take 'No' for an answer, Liliana finds herself on a ride of a lifetime, filled with heated close encounters, daring conversations, not to mention a dash of drama. Will Liliana be able to withstand Mr. Cavalier's lusty and endless pursuit? Or will the outspoken hostess reject the hot billionaire once and for all? __________________________________ He didn't speak. He never spoke. I knew that he was able to speak, but whenever I was around it seemed that I was the only one speaking. He didn't seem to enjoy my presence, but then again that wouldn't be true given that he requested for me to host, on my day off. His eyes were not friendly, his jaw and lips that never smiled told me to always be on guard. I could always feel his eyes on me, and I know its him, or else my heart wouldn't be acting the way it was. ... And yet, here I am, patting down the wrinkles on my skirt, as his car approached the Jet. I was rather angry. It was my day off. I wasn't even on call. I told Jenna that I wouldn't come in today and that he'd have to find someone else. Apparently this man didn't take "No" for an answer. He had his personal body guard arrive at my door, and I wouldn't be too surprised as to how he got my address. The scary man was ready to drag me from my house, I was driven to his private Aircraft and now I had to play hostess. When he stepped out of the car, his eyes looked up to me. Had he smiled or even acknowledged my presence, maybe I would be free to assume that he was happy to see me.Complete
Guyfriends ~ Luke Hemmings
Kimberly had made a lot of friends in her life. She loved them all and she always felt loved when she was with them. It was like a whole group of misfits, who were all very different from each other and that's why they completed each other perfectly. She felt like she didn't need anybody else than her friends. That is, until her mother says that all her friends are girls. Kimberly never noticed this, because she didn't think it was that big of a deal. But, now that she thinks about it, her mother is right, she only has girls as friends and not a single 'guyfriend', as her mother likes to call it. She ignores it though and just moves on from it, because it's nothing and not at all something major. Until she meets a boy who is just as weird as she is, who drags his friends in her life and turns it upside down. Especially his best friend causes a huge spin in her life. ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ A/N: Just saying, most if this story will happen in the beautiful city of... *drum roll* Amsterdam! I thought it would be fun, since I'm Dutch and it will make it a little easier for me to write about some things. I live nowhere near Amsterdam, more to the east in The Netherlands, about 2 hours driving away, but it makes no difference.Complete
