A Blake Barnes Series #1

I'm gonna tell you my story. Normally, stories are either romantic, family type or flat out drama where nothing makes sense. This story is about two friends who overcame- you know what that sounds so cliche. Except this story that I'm going to tell you, well it's true. 

In how I met this serious British kid, with no sense of fun, claimin' to be a writer, journalist, what ever- with a nose that always seemed to be stuck into trouble and how he literally dragged me all over the plac-

"Blake, if you are going to tell the story, do not over exaggerate it. We don't need anymore of drama, please? Fix claimin' into claimin'g'. We are not in the old west. Yes, I understand you are from Wyoming but we don't need your accent." 

"Rowan, stop it! I don't need your editing right now, I'm the one telling the story. Now get off!"

"I'm using my own laptop to edit your story, Ms.I-want-to-be-a-writer-too. Guys, I promise you it would be a whole lot more better if we both tell you the story. Women always tend to over exaggerate things, so here goes nothing."

"ROWAN!"

"Almost Green" by NUmaker
27 parts Ongoing
Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!

Inclined by her ambitious parents' advice, Clementine Cruz is forced to spend her six weeks off school in Mallorca. She hates the idea of being limited to one expectation for such an extended period of time. Nothing has ever been able to demand her attention enough. Regardless of the fact, she is expected to wish time away at a prestige beach resort. In a foreign country. As a lifeguard. Problem is, she can't swim. As if the fact isn't bad enough, she is assigned to be taught lessons from the broody and notoriously rebellious Angel Delgado who only agrees to help her in exchange for one thing. Her undivided attention. ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ ⃗ Angel takes a step into my space, leaving our chests only mere inches away from each other. "You, Clementine, are loud-" He takes another step forward, forcing me to take one backward. "-nosey-" Another step. "and ignorant." He takes one last step and I feel my back hit the wall. I almost think that he may begin to start jabbing at my chest like I did to him but then he hooks his finger around my necklace and slightly tugs at it so that my head is no longer resting on the wall. "You don't listen to instructions-" He tugs me closer. "-you think you're so funny with your smartass-" Another tug. "and you think that you can one-up me in every single situation." He tugs at my necklace again leaving his lips to hover a quarter of a centimetre away from mine. I close my eyes as he closes the gap. It is not a kiss, merely a brush of lips as he whispers into my mouth, "So I don't fucking like you."

"- Have you figured it out? He asks me as he manages to place one of his hands on my face before he traces it down my neck, past my chest and down towards my hips where he grabs a solid hold of my thigh. - Yes, I have... I answer as I move my head slightly closer to his, my hands still around his neck. - What have you discovered? He asks as he moves closer to me in return, our eyes burying into each other. - That I want you, and that I need you. The tip of his nose barely touches mine, but the tension between us causes our skin to be ten times as sensitive as it normally is. - And...? He goes on. - I want you to claim me, Blake.
