"We were best friends. Ever since we were three. If you invited me, you got Sapphire. If you invited Saph, you got me. She was my first kiss, too. We were 13. It was a dare, neither of us wanting to back down." I smiled sadly. "Then, when we were 15, i asked her out. Everyone said we made the cutest couple. God, i agreed so much with that. Then, I had to audition for X-factor. We promised not to let that get in the way, but eventually, it did." A/N: Chapters with ~ in the tittle have been edited!

Perseverance
{18+ COMPLETED} "I don't understand why you won't tolerate the idea when we're both about the same no-strings fun." "Maybe because I just don't like you," I argue. "I don't believe you." Ellis' voice startles me, not just by how low and husky it is, but by the close proximity, his breath fanning over my bare neck. Turning around I inhale sharply at the sight of his pale blue eyes boring into mine, his hands resting on either side of my head against the metal, muscles tensed as he holds himself off of my body. His body is easily double the size of mine, a notion that makes my breath almost stop as he continues to hover there, his face angled down as I trail my eyes over his facial features. Without thinking my lips part, his own mirroring my actions, a sign that he's just as affected by me as I am by him. ---------------------------------------------------- Spin Off. Can be read as a STAND ALONE book... however, it makes more sense if you read The Test of Time first. Becky Gordon has no time for men. Although, she does tolerate some hours with them; non-stop one night stands, one time excursions in the gym locker rooms, swift daytime quickies. She's always been the same, ever since high school. Only once has she ever considered the possibility of something more, but that idea blew up in her face, proving to her that she's better off alone. Yet years later, the very man who made her doubt everything is back, catapulting into her life like never before. He's determined to make things right and won't take no for an answer. She can't deny the things he makes her feel, their similar humor and quick wit, the lust that pulses through her at the mere sight of him. But she's resisted his womanizer ways since high school, and what's really changed since then? Can Becky continue to resist Ellis Wakefield? Or does having a little bit of perseverance really pay off?Complete
Curly Headed Cutie
"I can't believe I came out here to get you!!!" I turn around and find Travis standing over me, droplets rolling down his face and neck. He's soaked in water and his jeans look heavy due to the rain. I giggle and shout over the rain, "You didn't have to come out here! I was just trying to prove a point!!" "And you did!!" He replies, rubbing his black hair back, his shirt sticking to him. I look him up and down noticing the outline of muscles in his shirt. I bite my lip and just stare. Goddamn!~ I need Jesus!!! "My eyes are up here!!" Travis says, cupping my chin and forcing me to look back up at him. I blush, as he lets go of my face, "I wasn't purposely trying to stare!!" Bitch, why you lyin'??? Just admit you were staring!! "Riiight~" He purrs, grinning devilishly, "If it makes you feel better, my eyes wandered off to other places too~" His eyes flash down to my shirt, and I look down noticing my shirt is kind of see-through; revealing my black sports bra underneath. Oh my- "TRAVIS REEL!!!" I shout, pushing him, my face probably as red as hot pepper. He chuckles, stumbling back a little, "You were staring at me first!!" I roll my eyes, "Not the point!" "It kind of is." I turn away, "No it's not..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ #1 in Awkwardsituations (2.22.24) ALL RIGHTS OWNED!!! PLEASE DON'T COPY MY WORKKKKK!!! Previously known as "Nothing But Trouble".

Promises To New Beginnings (I Promise...Series Book 4)
Are they really ready to start a family? His band is taking off, and she's wanting a family- will it tear everyone apart? Old fears reappearing... and he just wants to protect her. This is the 4th book in the, 'I Promise...' series. Book Preview... "We'll be back." I told the group and led Mariah away and out into the front yard- I sat down on the porch swing and she joined me. "Feeling ok?" I asked as I started swaying the swing with my foot, and she nodded with a smile. "Well- what's on your mind? You've been a little distracted today." I pointed out and she huffed a breath. "Sarah." She answered. "Felix's sister..." I trailed off- and she nodded. Even though I didn't know the full story of those two- I still knew that Sarah had always meant a lot to Mariah. "She and I both loved hanging out on New Years, because it meant, new resolutions, new chances, ways to change who you are for the better." Mariah smiled. "She always told me, 'Live for what's ahead- don't worry about your heartbreaks or your past mistakes. Live for now.' I always smiled when she said that. She wanted me to know that it shouldn't matter if someone has hurt you- if you're stronger than their actions. She also taught me that." Mariah added- as a tear fell down her cheek and I wiped it away with my thumb. I pulled her close to me and we snuggled as we looked up at the stars and also saw the fireworks. "Ten... Nine..." As people started counting down to the new year- Mariah sat up and looked at me with passion. "THREE... TWO... ONE! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone chanted and Mariah smashed her lips into mine and I kissed back with a soft fire passion. "Let's always live for what's ahead." I smiled pulling back. "Always." She grinned- then I kissed her deeply. (Rated PG no inappropriate language, or scenes)Complete
My Brother's Best Friend
"I wanted to talk to you," he said simply. "We had an argument about why he doesn't want us talking." I was confused. "What are his reasons anyway? It seems kinda stupid to keep us from talking." "Agreed," Nathaniel said. "The first reason was that I like you... a lot. And two, he said that it was the fact you like me and that he didn't want your heart to get broken." I was so happy that it was dark outside. "Aren't you with Veronica?" He sighed. "She broke up with me when she saw us together behind the Math & Science building. Ronnie knew how I felt about you but she couldn't just accept the fact that I like you instead of her. To be honest, we never were really dating. She just said that we were." My cheeks burned. "You have a crush on me? The star basketball player of Merrytime High School has a fucking crush on me?!" I squealed. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Your brother. Every time I've tried to tell you, your brother wouldn't let me," he replied sourly. Then he smiled coyly. "But he isn't in the way now, is he?" And his rough hands cupped my face and put his lips on mine. We went slow at first but we soon picked up the pace. My hands were up in his hair as he placed me onto the ground. But then for one pain inducing second, we stopped and he pulled away. His face was only inches from mine. "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked busily as he put his hands in my sweater, his hands sending vibrations through my entire body. I wanted him. "Yes," was all I said before we locked lips once more. I was secretly hoping nothing could separate us again. BEST RANKING--> 112 IN #brothersbestfriendComplete

Whatever happened that year left scars too deep to see, turning smiles into silence and laughter into rage. By fifteen, he was behind bars. Now eighteen, he's out with one last shot: six months to finish high school and finally leave his past behind. He's focused. Detached. Determined to stay invisible - no fights, no friends, no drama. Then he sees her. Kazierah. His childhood crush. His first kiss. The girl he never forgot. ...the one he never stopped loving even when he wanted to. She's changed too. She had more friends and she was more social than he remembered. They never dated, never made it official, but the connection between them always ran deep... too deep to ignore now. And as old feelings resurface, so do old questions - about the past, about that day he was taken away, and about why their paths are crossing again now, after everything. Some stories never really end. They wait. And this one is just beginning.
