I remember standing there on the bare wood floor of our dingy little apartment, watching as she stood on tiptoe on an old metal folding chair tying the rope to our ceiling fan. A head-sized loop hung at the end of it, frayed threads sticking out here and there like pricklies on a cactus.
"Here honey, hold this for mommy," she said, handing me a half smoked roach she'd been puffing on as she worked.
"Wait, wait, wait, give it back a minute."
I handed it back and she took a long drag, closing her eyes and holding it in for a moment. She coughed once and let it back out in a slow stream, her whole body relaxing as she did.
"Bad shit, honey," she said a moment later, shaking her head and stretching her eyelids. "Don't you never start it, okay?"
I nodded as she handed it back to me.
She brushed a loose strand of hair from her eyes and rubbed her hands together like someone trying to get warm.
"Okay, stand back, honey. I don't wanna kick you or nuthin."
And so begins the life of Delly.

"Don't go inside! Stay!" She said, holding her hand up to show me her palm and then I leaned over the balcony, resting my forearms on the railing to hold me up. I rolled my eyes as I exhaled deeply. Apparently I was a dog now. But fuck, It's her! What are the fucking chances. It feels like I'm in one of those Wattpad novels that Beth always reads. She quickly rushed inside and opened her blinds so that I could see right into her apartment. I watched her rush over to her stereo to lower the volume and then she came rushing back out, out of breath. "Did you get my note?" She asked and then I nodded, trying to force back a smile remembering her cute handwriting, in fact her little note was in the pocket of my sweatpants at this very moment, And so was her 100 dollar bill that she had given me, "I did!" I said as I watched her try to brush her hair out of her face "look, the money that you gave me. I don't want it. I appreciate it but it's too much! I need to give it back!" I said and then she shook her head trying to reject what I was saying. "No, it's yours I gave it to you!" She seemed upset and a little sad that I wanted to give her money back. "Hey, come on. This is a sign from whatever forces are at work here, what are the chances that you would be living right across from me!? This is fucking crazy, I can't accept the money and the universe is giving me a chance to return it." I said shrugging as she waved me off and then smiled sweetly as she breathed in for a moment just looking at me with softness. THIS BOOK IS A BLEND OF TEENAGE DRAMA REALISM AND FANTASY - ROMANCE.

Hate to Love me
She had been alone with me before but the air in the car was excruciatingly lovely. It felt like home. It was as if she was my wife and I was just driving us home after a long day. At the same time, it felt like I couldn't breathe. For fucks sake, my chest was sweating, but I loved it. I glanced at her as she was leaning her head on the window, her dark ponytail sprawled over her chest. She looked so daunting and elegant it made my heart clench. Sometimes, when I looked really hard and noticed everything I didn't get the chance to in all of the nine years I've known her before she disappeared, it made me feel like a high school boy again. That feeling of happiness when I was with her. Or even just the thought of her. Fuck. I grabbed a cigarette from out of one the cup holders and lit it up, trying to distract myself from her. I inhaled, but when I turned to look at Selene she was covering her nose with her shirt. I furrowed my brows and scowled. Did I smell? "What's wrong?" I softly asked. She glanced at me and shook her head gently, dismissing me. I clenched my jaw. When I pulled my hand up to inhale another smoke, it finally clicked. I quickly threw it out the window and turned the AC on, rolling our windows up. I felt her stare on the side of my face and gulped, trying my fucking best not to smile. "Why did you do that?" She asked me, her voice low. Almost sounding like she was whispering. I quickly shot her a glance before answering. "You have asthma." Her gaze darkened. It was so quiet I could hear her heart beating rapidly while we stared at each other. I couldn't help but want to reach up and kiss her, and hold her like she deserved. She swallowed her saliva and looked away, a smile starting to form on the corners of her lips. I chuckled, already knowing I couldn't escape her now. I wouldn't be able to. It'd be like not having oxygen. And so help me, God, if I didn't have my oxygen.
Stubborn Hearts(girlxgirl)
[COMPLETED & BEING EDITED] "You're willing to risk your life for me? For us? Is that what you want?" She glared, grasping my shoulders gently and pushing me against the wall of the dark alley. The smell of alcohol and cigarettes swirling around me as I gazed into those violet eyes that make my knees go weak. I swallowed the lump in my throat and held up my head higher and faced this hardcore punk as if I was like her: Rebellious and reckless. "What I want is you. Everything else could go fuck themselves," I told her, seeing the way those violet eyes widened in shock in a quick second before they smiled, a grin spreading on her rosy pink lips. My heart fluttered as her face grew closer, tingles spread through my body just by her touches as she moved to my ear, biting my earlobe gently as she whispered, "I want you too." And my lips were instantly captured by hers... © Copyright 2014 All Rights ReservedComplete

Wings For The Jailbird
#1 jail #1 fight #1 criminal *** "Don't take it personal, I just like to play it safe, you know." He said, crouching down in front of me to tie each of my ankles to the chair. I couldn't move at all, especially after he duct taped even my waist to the chair. I watched him examine his work whilst he rubbed his beard and then a slow grin creeped onto his face. He bent down and put one end of the duct tape on my damn nipple, went around the chair again and ripped it off. He put the other end on my other nipple and I felt my cheeks heat up in humiliation. "Just to make sure you don't get cold again." He looked at me, his smirk slowly fading again. I gave him a hard stare. His hand reached out and fixed the glasses on my nose. Then he turned the chair so, that I was looking at the couch. He sat down, arms spread out on the back rest of the old leather couch, his eyes fixed on me again. "And now we're gonna talk." *** Belle Valery was a hardworking and rather unpopular law school student. She was almost done with school, had a structured daily schedule that consisted of waking up, going to school, going to the local library and study until she got a headache. She would walk home at night and go to sleep immediately. For almost three years that was all Belle knew and she was hoping to get her degree without further complications. But hope often differs from reality. Especially when her neighbourhood was suddenly on lockdown, because an escapee was on the loose. Belle didn't expect to one day wake up and find said escapee peacefully sleeping in her room. She didn't expect to scream and wake him up. And she didn't expect that morning to be the beginning of their incredible, yet a little complex love story. But life is always better unplanned and unexpected.

MINE, ALL MINE
-🤍- "I wanted him... but I couldn't have him. So instead, I admired from a distance......but that only least for a week." (A spin-off of 𝐀 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭. Part of the interconnected series) 𝐍𝐢𝐱𝐢𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝, despite her innocent sounding name, was as ruthless as they came. Nobody dared to get on her bad side, knowing the violent consequences that would follow, given her gang-related history. But that was only on the outside. On the inside, she was still the little girl who had to watch her mother go to prison for trying to protect her. She was still the little girl who moved to a different country to stay with her aunt and cousin. She was still the little girl who was always the second choice and never the first. Now in university, she was barely hanging on to life itself as she entered her second year of college. She walked into her second year looking for a change-something different-but she wasn't expecting him. 𝐀𝐫𝐳𝐡𝐞𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬. His innocent nature, his naïve eyes, the light pink tint that covered his cheeks when someone made a dirty joke-it was all so alluring and addictive to Nixie. But she knew she couldn't touch him. She couldn't destroy his innocence; she knew firsthand what that was like. But then again, Nixie was never one for self-control. He was hers... he just didn't know it yet. -🤍- "You're mine Arzhel, you here me? Only fucking mine...do you understand that-answer me properly." The boy's pulsed quicken and his eyes darkened. The innocence that was once held in his light green eyes fizzled out. The feeling of her dark acrylic nails on his neck cause a shiver to run down his spine. He swallowed thickly, "Yes ma'am." - ⚠️Trigger Warnings included*
