You Like Me?! | ✓
"So, let me get this straight," I looked at him weirdly, raising my hands slightly in exclamation. "You like me?!" I asked him in disbelief. "Like or like-like?" I really can't get my head to process his words at the moment. "Is it weird that I don't." He simply replied, his voice sounded calm but serious at the same time. "And for your question, I do. I do like-like you. Like, I really like you. To the point that you're the only thing that's on my mind everyday and I can't seem to get you off it." I was literally standing there like an idiot, slowing blinking my eyes in a slow pace, still can't believe what's actually happening in front of me. ______________________________ ( Partially Edited.)

Hopelessly Falling [book 2]
"Do you ever get scared of being happy?" He asked softly, also pretty tired. I kept my eyes closed as I answered, my fingers softly drawing circles on his chest. "All the time. I used to a lot more, but, the downfalls seem a lot less daunting now that I have someone to free-fall with," I replied, and I looked up to see him smile a little at that, "We're just dancing in the rain these days.. there's no need to be afraid of the inevitable clouds that are gonna pop up." • • • College.

Pure Bliss ✔️
Innocence is subjective. When push comes to shove: things change. And sometimes you just have to try not to explode. Pure's always been bullied for her name. When Pure and her parents move to a new town in Florida because "sex by the beach" would be fun, Pure was optimistic. But that optimism quickly faded at her new school where the bullying continued over something she had no control over. With daggers coming at her from all angles, will she survive high school? Completed. Word count [80,000 - 100,000] **************** "You look very beautiful tonight." A cocky grin spread across his handsome face. "Don't I always?" I teased, sticking my tongue out. "Of course you do!" He said smoothly, rolling his eyes at my foolishness. "So, how about instead of just sitting there, would you like to dance?" He beamed confidently. "With who?" I grinned, taking his hand. *** (This is my first story completed 2016, excuse the grammar and spelling mistakes, I will go back and revise all of it once I'm done.)

MY HIDDEN THERAPY
She thought she was invisible. He never stopped looking at her. Ahana is the quiet girl everyone forgets, the girl who sits in the corner, buries herself in books, and battles an inferiority complex she never talks about. Arnav is the boy who somehow notices every little thing about her. And he wants her to notice him, too. As he tries to get closer, fate seems determined to keep them apart. New people enter their lives, friendships change, misunderstandings grow, and every time they take a step toward each other, something pushes them apart. But Arnav has never been good at giving up. Because while Ahana doubts herself, he's certain about one thing: Her. A slow, burn high school romance filled with longing glances, silent confessions, jealousy, heartbreak, and a boy who falls first, and keeps falling harder.

I don't know what spell you casted on my parents but I won't ever fall for it. And get one thing straight & clear, I don't want anyone to know about this marriage. We will act like a couple only infront of my parents. Don't expect anything more from me and neither do you knock at my door unless it's important." He spoke menacingly and turned to leave but the moment those words left his mouth, I felt as if someone dumped freezing water over my head. If he hates me so much, then why did he marry me and what does he mean by.. "What do you mean by 'girls like me' ?" I asked. He turned around and walked even closer, all my confidence began to fade. He leaned in, I could feel his breath on my ears. His closeness was doing things to me I have never felt before. I was on the verge of losing my senses, until he spoke.. "An innocent acting, desperate brat." His words pierced my heart, moreover his tone, his words reminded me of people I have been fighting all my life.
