NAVEL GAZING: excessive absorption in self-analysis or focus on a single issue by ANMS111

-A Lie I decided to focus on family, choosing to believe and have faith that everything else would fall into place. I wasn't comfortable-or good-at lying to her. So, when Samantha surprised me one day by swallowing her pride and asking directly if anything had happened during our break, I hesitated. The silence, I believed, said it all. I was on the verge of confessing when she gave me an out: "If you tell me nothing happened, I'll believe you," she said. I should have told her the truth then-or resolved never to reveal it. Instead, years later, as I left for the final time, I selfishly brought it up. By confessing, I hoped to push her away. But in that moment, I let her believe what she clearly wanted to hold on to-that I had been faithful. She knew Pippa and probably sensed there was something between us, but she let it go-and so did I. It was cowardice, I know. Still, I made up my mind to make our dream a reality. And for a while, it worked. But fast-forward through the births of our three additional sons, and more than a dozen years, the same problems that once threatened us had only grown and would soon spiral out of control.

About You and I ✓ by MukhtarWriter

This is a story about where at a certain age we start to understand the importance of the bonds we share with one another. A story about the smiles, the laughter, and the moments we can't just brush off out of our hearts. April Mark, a university second year in search for knowledge coincidentally came across Tyler Greg, an upperclassman whom at first she thought was very familiar. In pursuit to finding his true identity she was caught up in the sweet sensational expression of being with him. She found true love in him only to later find out that he's that one childhood friend; or rather brother whom her mother warned her to stay clear of. Battling with school, having a steady relationship with her mother, and true love misconceptions she'd found herself in. She soon found out that her story was one where a single misunderstanding could end up creating the most toxic outcomes. Her choices determined her fate and she was left with a choice, either to choose her mother, or to choose Tyler Greg.

The first year of college is a learning experience in and out of the classroom, as Fran is quickly finding. Her relationship with sultry Greek Conn has been an eye-opener, awakening Fran's passionate sexual desire and need for intimacy. But dating Conn has its drawbacks. The two lovers come from very different cultures, and their expectations of each other are often at odds. Still, the sex is amazing. As Fran struggles to navigate the inevitable obstacles of a multiethnic relationship, she meets Erik. As seductive as Conn, Erik also comes from a different culture-he's Russian. Two men, one woman. It's a tantalizing plot for late-night drama, but Fran quickly finds living that story line to be exhausting-emotionally and physically. She knows she can't have both, but whom does she choose-the Greek or the Russian? It would be a lot easier for her to decide if she didn't have to break someone's heart in the process.

She smiled sweetly in return, "Now, what could I possibly want from you?" His eyes roamed over her face for a minute before his arm shot out and wrapped around her waist. She let out a surprised gasp as she suddenly found herself pressed up against him. She shivered involuntarily as she felt his breath fan her face and stiffened again as she realized how close his face was to her own. •••••••• A story about a group of friends going after the boys they've been secretly in love with for all of high school.
