Just as beautiful as ever. My heart swooned. Seeing her took away some of the swelling in my heart. My hair dropped over my face and the rain made it even easier to hide my tears from her. She offered a small smile.
"Hi," she said. I couldn't bring myself to speak at all yet. She tugged her robe closer to her narrow frame. It felt like forever before she opened her mouth to speak again.
"What're you doing out here? You're going to be sick."
I said nothing her facial expression softened.
"Harlem, please. You know I can't talk to you." She pleaded. The hurt in her eyes was noticeable even of the darkness outside. They gleamed in the bright orange street light.
I took a deep breath and pushed my hair back. She looked away momentarily and with a deep sigh she sprinted towards me and wrapped me in a hug. Her resistance had broke in that moment. So did mine. I wrapped my arms around her neck. She was so warm as it felt so nice to have her in my arms again. I had found the peace that I was on the prowl for that night.

My Monster Mate (Book I)
Book One in the My Mate Series - "Elijah," Alexander calls in this terrifying voice. I know it's dangerous but I ignore him, I keep my eyes shut and continue to rock myself back and forth, my hands blocking my ears. I didn't want to look at him, I didn't want to see those black orbs. "Look at me." He demands, his voice depicting his rage. "No," I whisper. "Look at me or I swear, I will do it!" He shouts. I'm not completely sure what 'it' is but I'm sure it has to do with death. Although the poor kid probably wants exactly that. I want that for him right now. It must be a lot less painful than what he's probably going through. Slowly, I reluctantly remove my hands from my ears and pick up my head from my knees, I open my eyes gazing up at him. As soon as I do - I wish I hadn't. Because as soon as I do Alexander snaps his neck. I gasp, tears sliding down my cheeks even faster than they were before. My mate is a monster. "I told you." He laughs, "I am a monster. And guess what?" He pauses, as if daring me to say something, "I don't intend on changing for anyone and especially not you." - Copyright © Mbalii *NOT man x man. *Completed.Concluida
Trapped & Clueless✔(renamed)
Stacy playfully rolled her eyes and noticed her Gucci flops that she wanted to keep for herself. Faith lifted her leg straight into the air and wiggled her ankles. "You like?" "Yeah, those are cute. How can you afford those?" Stacy asked intriguingly. A girl close to her age wearing Gucci and other expensive designers on her wrists, definitely fascinated her and she wanted to know how she could make money like that. Faith smirked. "I gets money." "You sell crack don't you?" Faith cracked up laughing. "Noooo." "You a business owner or something?" Faith hesitated, "I-In a way yes. You could say that." Stacy was puzzled by the game she was playing. She wasn't able to understand anything subliminal that Faith may have been saying. "I'm lost." She said. Faith got up and sat on the couch right next to Stacy. She whispered, "you ever thought of getting paid for something you normally do for free?" "Like what?" Stacy asked. Faith chuckled. "I'm talking about sitting your doughnut onna stick til the cream oozes out, ... feel what I'm saying?" And now everything clicked. "Sweat" Remake No, this is not exactly like "Sweat" but it has all the same themes, and I didn't want multiple books about sex trafficking, so here's one, new and improved. Previous names: "Caught Up"Concluida
Once Upon A Bus Ride
Morgan Hall is your average teenager. That is if you consider having a billionaire CEO of a world renowned company as a dad and a fashion designer of one of the most famous lines in the world as a mother average. Let's not leave out her singer/actress of a sister who's taking the world by storm. Morgan was no doubt born with a giant silver spoon in her mouth, but her life isn't always as perfect as it seems. Aaron Smith, quiet and reserved, admired my many for his good looks. He doesn't seem to associate himself with many people. Which is why it's so strange when he finds himself becoming friends with the rich, little, daddy's girl...at least that's what he thinks of her. Fate and chance are at work when they cross paths one afternoon on a bus. Throw in crazy lives and secret identities, and you get one hell of a ride on the road to self discovery. What Morgan doesn't know is that one stubborn move could land her a new friend, and possibly even more. ~~~~~ "It's amazing...magical even, how hearing one song can take you back to a single moment or a series of them, just so you can live it all over again," he said. "I think that's the best part about music. It's like time travel you know? Going back to the past, or sometimes even visualizing the future...what we could be." "What about the sad moments?" I asked softly. "Nobody wants to re-live those." "Maybe not, but that's the entirety of it," he answered, raising his hand to brush away the hair from my face before tucking it behind my ear. "There's always good in the bad, and bad in the good. Balance." His fingers trailed down my arm, sending shock waves through me. "Can I tell you something?" I asked softly. The corner of his lips curved upwards in a small smile. "You can tell me anything."Concluida

Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out? Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride.

Worlds Apart [COMPLETE]
Nothing could compare to the way her gaze made me feel. The flames licking my skin and the raging fire in my veins was way more bearable. The moment our eyes connected, it was like my body found a new kind of flame. The kind that only she was able to draw from me. I've never felt my body being set ablaze like this before. One day here in this new town and I was already losing my mind over my new neighbour. A really pretty, hot neighbour. Her long, wavy platinum blonde hair, pale skin and icy blue eyes that seemed to stare depths into my soul and keep me frozen in place. I couldn't seem to leave. Her pink lips were parted slightly as she tried to catch her breath. I swallowed. One step forward and I could hold her. One tilt of my head and I could kiss her lips. If only I could have a taste of those lips- I have to get out of here. I turned and left, my heart nearly overpowering my brain to stop and go back to her. Only one thought kept me going. Who could ever love a monster? -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Hey guys!

I thought jokingly, quickly eliminating that possibility. ****************** Who is this wondrous man? is he as great as he seems? Or are the possibilities endless?

In Between
"You should do something about that. She's been trying to get your attention all night." Bella chuckles at me before lighting up her joint again. I turn my head and look back at the curly hair that had been staring at me all night.
