"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!

"Make we keep this professional then, yeah?" I nodded slowly, one hand in my pants pocket. "What?" Her brows creased. "I'll be your tutor and nothing else.

This is what I want and those are my boundaries. Respect them or find someone else fi tutor yuh, simple." I sighed, scratching my head. Mi just nuh wah di drama and foolishness.

I shrugged my shoulders. // Liam was once a bright, joyful child until something shattered his world at just nine years old. 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.

"Kassauni, there is more to life than continuous pain and suffering. I am sure you know that, and no one is asking you to go through it alone," She told me. I took a long drag from the blunt and held it in my lungs before releasing it. "Whatever yah talk 'bout sound like a fairy tale and mi nuh want yuh feel like me is a problem fi yuh fix," I stated, staring into her eyes. She frowned, deeply. "You need to talk to someone, or me. I am here for you if you need anything." Her voice came out softer than usual. "Rosalia, left that. It nuh concern yuh," I told her. She hissed her teeth and slapped the blunt out of my hand. "Mi try talk to yuh, but if yuh nah go at least try to get help then mi nuh need fi deh here. Stay by yuhself since a that yuh fucking want." She turned and started walking away. // He was abandoned by his parents. Time and time again they let him down, not realizing that each time it was draining him.

In a short time, she made him indecisive and question himself. Peeled away every armor he had shielding his insecurities. She broke him but stood by him while he rebuilt himself into a better man.

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!"

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

Like I said, I don't want anyone eye fucking you." He growls. Okay... "And how would you know if anyone did that?" I say narrowing me eyes at him. "Because I'm a guy and it's not that hard to do." He says maintaining eye contact with me. "What do you mean?" I raise an eyebrow. "I'm doing it right now." He smirks. Okay, let me just say that his smirk is gorgeous. "Yup. You're drunk." I say.

Rejected At First Sight (Spinoff Series)
*Rejected at First Sight* Spin-off series (By GirlWhoChasesRainbow) πΆ "Oomph!" The sound rushed out of my mouth as the door opened before I could reach the handle and my body hits a wall. I stumble backwards slightly before a hand wraps around my waist, keeping me from falling. Looking up, I realize this wasn't a wall, but instead a very attractive male. A very messy, but definitely sexy, mop of black hair sat on top of his head. When I looked closer, I realized that it was a deep shade of brown that was probably often mistaken for black. My gaze traveled to his eyes, where I found two deep ocean blue eyes looking at me. I kept going further down to his too crooked nose to be called straight, which I assumed came from too many fights. His skin was tanned, but an olive tone suggested he had a natural darker complexion to begin with. My eyes finally found his pink, very plump lips which were resting slightly open. His lips jerked up into a lopsided sneer as his hand snapped back to his side. The sudden movement left my back cold, as if his palm had been a source of warmth. "You've got to be kidding me!" His tone dripped with disgust. My eyes turned to questioning as I looked back up into his eyes. I brought my hand up to rub my nose, squinting at the slight pain. "What the hell." He grumbled. "I, Jay Julian, reject you as my mate." He, or Jay, said with venom lacing his voice. He quickly turned and walked down the now vacant hallway with no glance back. Rejection? What the hell was that? Was it some sort of local lingo? How did I get rejected on my first day? The first person I make eye contact with at this school rejects me. I guess that's how this school works, if the hottest boy in school rejects you, you're a nobody. If that's how this small town school worked, then I was screwed. So much for making friends, or mates, or whatever they call people in this place. I shake those ocean blue eyes out of my head and continue into the office to start my new life.Complete
Possessive Rich Bully
[WARNING - EXPLICIT CONTENT] I pulled my elbow from his death grip. "You're ashamed of me. Admit it. You hate the idea of been seen with me." I shot venomous accusations his way. He didn't look at me. I'd rejected his kiss, pushed him away from and in return he'd turned cold and cruel, again. He'd shown nothing but hatred for me in public yet held me with aching tenderness when it was just us. I was sick of his games. He needed to decide whether he wanted me or not. "You parade new girls daily in front of my eyes," a sob escaped my throat. "And don't even deny you don't occasionally screw Charlotte behind my back." His ice blue eyes pierced my soul with his sharp gaze. He was teetering on the verge of lashing out on me. "How would you feel if I did the same to you, huh?" I pushed at his stiff chest. "Had several boyfriends, invited them to our home." His eyes cut to me, and a look darker than I've ever seen clouded his features I gestured to our grandiose home bought by his dizzying wealth. "And parade them right in front--" Before I knew it, I was face down and nearly suffocated by the soft material of our couch, I barely noticed my skirt pushed upwards and panties shoved aside. "You're my goddamn wife, Astoria. I will not tolerate your defiance." The sound of his belt loosening, zipper lowering, he entered me violently taking my breath with him. "Yet everyone thinks I'm still your charity case because you won't claim me." "You want to be claimed? Fine. But I am warning you, this lifestyle you're so accustomed to will be gone. I will be dirt poor and your family will be fired." "Then divorce and set me free. I am done being your dirty secret." Axel Trent, the spoiled prince always got whatever he wished for, and I was one of the thing he had wished to possess. Our fate were meant to collide in the cruelest way possible. It left me shattered. THIS IS A TOXIC ROMANCE BOOK. DON'T EXPECT HEART AND FLOWERS cover by IvvyKyComplete
