Adrian Ender snarled at the space behind the cashier's head, not acknowledging the young woman as she scanned his soda and candy bar, not noticing how pretty she was or the sad glow coming from her grayish eyes, not thinking about anything but the fact that he was late. Late for the most important meeting of his life.
The woman finally finished and Adrian threw a five at her and tapped his foot as she counted out his 42 cents in pennies and dimes. He snatched up his lunch and didn't pause on his way toward the door to see the elderly ladies huddled around a hanging bucket, kindly asking for spare change.

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Complete
Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Impurities
"Are you old enough to be here?" The 18-year-old asked, and Hailey laughed. "Yeah. Of course, look can we just have two light beers?" Hailey asked looking at the desserts. "Well, I'm supposed to id, but I don't get paid enough for this." He rolls his eyes sliding the beers over. "Enjoy!" He groans cleaning off the counter and assisting the next customer. We walk over to a small booth and sit down. Hailey slides the beers over to me and I open one. I start to lift it and then set it back on the table. "Um... Hailey are we old enough for this?" she nods so I take a sip. It was disgusting but I felt like I should drink more so I drank the rest.

The Bench// a Joe and Dianne Story
A short story Joanne AU A little idea I had that grew into a short 16 chapter book. Read it if you wish! **preview** "Oh my god, sorry," Joe heard, just after a small, fast moving body collided with him on a busy street causing the coffee in his hand to wobble dangerously. He blinked and looked down, seeing a woman with short brown hair picking up something she had dropped- her phone- Joe realised. She picked it up and wiped it against her leg with a groan. "Don't worry," he held his hand out for her, "here." The petite woman took his hand and Joe's stomach flip-flopped churning the bagel he had inhaled on his way out of the door this morning; the woman's hand felt all too familiar. As she reached his eye level, Joe had to stop a gasp that was trying to escape his lips, "Dianne?" "Yes? How do you know my n-" she had just looked up at him from the phone in her hand and all words flew from her head at the sight of those piercing eyes. "I don't believe it." "Joe," she dropped his hand, "oh my, bloody hell." There was a moment or two of what could only be described as an awkwardly unpleasant silence, as they both took the person in front of them in, in all of their glory.Complete

"I..I nee..d to leave," she said trembling trying really hard to hide her fear as he inched closer towards her. He cut the phone call and an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes before it was masked away. "I... I did..not... see anything, ple...ase don't kill me," she said fearstricken seeing the change in his facial expressions. She flinched away from his touch as he tried to wipe her tears. "I will..not ..tell any...one , I pro..mise." "I'll make it fast." Her pupils dilated further in fear as he pulled out something from his back pocket. ☕☕☕☕☕ "You had a problem with the shirt well I'll not wear it," she said taking off the torn black shirt that she loved. She started walking towards the door in her black bra and opened it slightly before it was pushed and locked shut by Dan, who had marched after her seeing her walk towards the door instead of her wardrobe. "Where on earth are you going like that?" "To the party." "In a bra? Are you fucking out of your mind? "Yes, you had a problem with the shirt, well its no more so now there ought to be no issue." Her statement ignited fire in Dan's eyes and he pushed her roughly against the door and forecully kissed her. She tried pushing against his chest and removing his lips from hers, however he cupped her face with one hand and opened the jeans button and zip with the other. ☕☕☕☕☕ She had been trying to find the source when all of a sudden her eyes fell upon Mustafa sitting across from them on the barstool drinking liquor and staring at them. He chugged the last sip of his drink and started fingering a girl whose back was to Feef while staring at Feef. She instantly felt grossed out witnessing the scene infront of her so she turned her face towards Dan and concentrated on him. Seeing the disgusted expression on Feef's face got Mustafa smirking for he thought payback's a bitch. He was disgusted seeing them eat each other's face and fondle each other. ☕☕☕☕☕

change of heart | jumin han x reader
"...Goodbye now, (y/n)." And with that I pushed the door open and swung my legs out into the cold air. I handed the cab driver my money, but the girl gently pushed my hand away before he could grab it. She pulled out a roll of bills from her pocket, peeling off a few and handing it to the driver, an obvious smirk on her lips. "It's on me this time," she smiled up at me from where I stood, her eyes seemingly sparkling, my mouth hanging open a bit in shock. "Just say this isn't the last time I get to meet the absolutely irreplaceable Jumin Han." - I do not own the characters in this book, just the story.

Omnipotence
"Oh bite me, you sociopath." She seethed. "Do you honestly think you are all that and a bag of chips!?" She leaned on her left leg and placed her hand on her hip. In this dim lighting her dark eyes seem even darker, almost black. I cannot see much but her silhouette stands out, I do not understand why is it that I notice this. "Do you not think that you are being absurd?" As the words left my mouth I knew it was a mistake. I heard her huff and stand straight, she stepped closer. I can see her better now, low light highlighted her plump lips, her noticeable jaw and cheek bone. Her long lashes that drew the attention to her big brown eye. For a moment she did not speak but sighed, as if she had given up. "There is no cure for a fool." And with that she left the room, leaving me completely awestruck. I understood nothing of the encounter we had just had nor did I care, all I wanted was more. I needed more of Ms Veronica Ives. _-_-_-_ Born in a family of wealth, Lylith Winters.
