That's me at the Berlin Wall in 1988. For six months we lived in East Berlin where I experienced people disappearing, strange footprints in our home, falling in love with Katarina Witt during the 1988 Winter Olympics and visiting a WWII concentration camp. These are some of my stories. The full account is now available on Amazon in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Wall
I hope you enjoy and that I convey how strange yet beautiful East Berlin was. Please comment and provide feedback as I would like to incorporate your thoughts into the final published version.

Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

Read to find out.. ---------- I could feel my face heating up that I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself down. The hug was incredible. It was not a friendly hug which I usually get from my friends or my parents or even Leo. This one was different. It was soothing and comfy. After a few minutes later we parted and he looked at me in the eyes. "My Jelly Bunny I am sorry for what happened later. It is just that the thought of you leaving me just drive me insane." "It is alright now. I am always here for you Mr Hulk." I laughed a bit when I mentioned 'Mr Hulk'. He neither looked offenced nor angry when he heard that name on the contrary he laughed. "Mr Hulk and Jelly Bunny. I like it." He said bringing his face close to mine. "Yeah me too." I could feel the tip of his nose touched mine and his lips parted a bit then they took my lips. It was my first time kissing someone so I don't know how it goes but I tried to go with the same pace as Mr Hulk. His lips tasted like chocolate with a hint of mint. God! My favourite chocolate flavour! I wanted more of his taste. Suddenly I could feel his hand on my butt squeezing it. It surprised me but kind of hot. He pressed me against a wall but not too hard. He was being gentle yet dominant. P.s : Please don't copy or take my ideas as they are purely original and they are my imaginations. Thank you. ♡Also!

Logan Henderson Is In Love With Me?!
"Naomi I love you," he exclaimed looking at me straight in the eyes. This took me by surprise because we have been friends for so many years and I didn't think he would have these feelings towards me. I mean I'm not going to lie I have the same feelings for him but I don't want our friendship to get ruined. I saw a man dressed all in black watching us from afar, but Logan didn't see him because he was facing me. Logan put his hands firmly on my shoulders and looked at me straight in the eyes. "Naomi, did you hear me? I love you. I've been in love with you since the day I met you," he told me. "Yes I heard you Logan. It's just that," I began to say but I got cut off when I saw the man pull out a gun. "Logan look out," I told him turning him to where I was standing and taking the bullet. "Naomi," he exclaimed worried. "Logan I just want to say that I love you too," I said feeling my eyes starting to close and putting my hand on his cheek. "NOO WHY?! I SHOULD'VE BEEN THE ONE TO GET SHOT NOT YOU," he exclaimed. He knelt down and had me in his arms and called an ambulance immediately. I have no idea what happened afterwards because my eyes closed on their own. Copyright © 2022 Naomi14, All Rights Reserved.Complete
