"Can you just give me the freaking chess piece?!" I gave up trying to be calm, and snapped at Nate with crossed arms.
"Not until you get up there and sing." He smirked, a microphone extended towards me in his outstretched hand.
Grumbling to myself, I took a calming breath. I pinched the bridge of my nose and counted to ten. Come on, do it for Spades.
"Give me that mic." I muttered, snatching it from his hands.

"Asher?" "You know my name?" "Just a wild guess," I blurted out. I just met Asher, didn't want him to think I was a complete freak. Wow that sentence sounds familiar? "Okay, fair enough. But what's not fair is that I don't know your name." I chuckled, "Well, we're probably not gonna meet each other after this so why bother knowing it?" Asher stretches back the hand that he reached out to me and I felt guilty for being so rude but I'm not about to give out my name to him anytime soon. For all I know, he could spread horrible rumors about me since he in fact, was in the popular circle. "Alright, feisty." {UNEDITED} Disclaimer: I wrote this book a year ago, and it was when my grammar and my writing skills wasn't so good, so I'm sorry if this is really cringe, or bad! But so far, a lot of you have been liking it so I'm keeping it up.Complete

Dare Me
"You and me then. Let's make a game of it. I will dare you anytime any place. No matter what the dare is. If you do all of my dares you win and I'll never speak or look at you ever again." He smirks. Hmm. Interesting. "I tell you what. You give me as many dares as you want and I'll do the same. Each dare will have points. Whoever ends up with the most points by New Years Eve at midnight wins.

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.

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
Right Where You Left Me
𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 "What?" I ask. He brings his hand to my face. His fingertips brush my lips. "What would you do," he says, "If I kissed you right now?" "I'd probably push you away," I say, and huff out a nervous laugh. I've never been a good liar, and Nate can probably tell because the corner of his mouth lifts into a smirk as he leans a little closer to me. "I really want to find out if that's true or not," he tells me. I'm too frozen to say anything. I'm too frozen to move or breathe, really. Nate's hand snakes around the back of my neck gently. The rings on his fingers cool my burning neck. "Relax," he whispers, and then he closes the distance between us. 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 Nate Miller left three years ago.
