life love romance

When Beauty meets the Beast where love weathers storms.

 A mother-a friend-a provider-a giver- a fighter, yet flawed. 27 year old Shawnee carries the weight of these titles well as she takes on the daily task of caring for her 6yr old son, while trying to find her way in love and life. 

With dreams beyond her nurses aide background, Shawnee takes a leap of faith in the middle of crisis. As her world shatters around her, with some of the brokenness still intact-she falters. Not for long does she tread the line between happiness and tragedy, before reality sets in. 


Odell's youth was spent causing chaos all whilst attempting to put the pieces of his life back together. At the age of 18 he's forced out of his childhood home, in the aftermath of leading a life no parent would wish for their child. His own indiscretions bring about further poor decision making, but loneliness cures the bite of his rugged outlook. 

Determined to grow from his mistakes, Odell distances himself in the extreme. Over 500 miles away from what was comfortable and known to him, he clears a murky path for himself in Atlanta, Georgia. It's there that he discovers that what he needed was in closer proximity than he'd thought. 

The seemingly odd pair finds comfort in their ability to bond and adapt without much firsthand knowledge of each other. However, what brings them together, may very well be a part of what shifts their relationship for the better and worst.

Less Than Nothing by adoringscripts

"What are we doing Alex?" He breathes against my lips. That's too sensible of a question, so I ignore it. My brain has yet to return to my body, and right now that is the last thing I'm worried about. "Stay." I whisper against his mouth, my words flowing without any thought. "Stay?" He sits up fully, which results in me straddling him. His expression is full of curiosity and mild shock. "Like stay stay?" I don't respond with words. I'm afraid if I open my mouth, I'll start to overthink and I can't afford that. Instead, I pull my shirt over my head. I do it confidently, in spite of my boldness starting to dissipate as the seconds pass. Ryan swallows. His eyes trail down to my breasts, before he looks at me again with a look I can't name. "Are you sure?" He stares into me. "Promise me you're sure." "I'm sure." I tell him softly. "I promise." ******* ALEXANDRA MONET is a twenty two year old girl, freshly out of college.
