~Emma and Jayden~
If romance were a religion, Jayden would be an atheist. His belief in love, the greatest myth of all time was the one thing he lacked to near perfection.
A nonbeliever of love, who looks upon romantic fictions with disgust.
As he crosses paths with Emma, the perfect girl next door type, both of their lives take a rapid turn.
Just as Jayden looked upon romance with digust, Emma looked upon Jayden with disgust.
For anyone who chose not to be optimistic, was repulsive in Emma's point of view.
As the two get entangled in a love hate relationship of their own, resisting the charms of each other becomes a threat.
What would be their story?
More importantly, is time in their favour???
Guess you'll have to find out on your own!
{SNEAK PEEK}
.................................................................
"Stop." I manage to find my voice. "What are you trying to do?"
He bends down, to look me in the eyes.
Both his palms resting on the counter by my sides.
My hands went cold, and I felt the heat on my face.
He doesn't move his eyes away from mine.
Finally he smirks.
"You know you are stupid for trying to live in a fairytale. Right?"
"I'm not." I speak. "But I'm also not as insensitive as you are."
"Don't act like you know me." accent!

Hopelessly Falling [book 2]
"Do you ever get scared of being happy?" He asked softly, also pretty tired. I kept my eyes closed as I answered, my fingers softly drawing circles on his chest. "All the time. I used to a lot more, but, the downfalls seem a lot less daunting now that I have someone to free-fall with," I replied, and I looked up to see him smile a little at that, "We're just dancing in the rain these days.. there's no need to be afraid of the inevitable clouds that are gonna pop up." • • • College.

The Heartbreakers.
They tried to warn her. All he was going to do was break her heart. Well, then let him break it. *** High school. The dreaded part of our lives where you had to figure out your life, deal with a boat load of feelings, and try not to break down. It wasn't fair, but then again, life wasn't fair. Some school's had a specific tradition- sports, academics, or clubs. Well, Jaylee and Luke's school had a very... unique tradition; who could be the top heartbreaker. Every year, there was a boy and girl heartbreaker, battling for the top. There was only one difference between the other generations and Luke and Jaylee's. The Heartbreaker's Game. The game was simple. Whoever broke the other's heart first was the winner, and the other would be the school's loser. All they had to do was try to not fall for each other, and they both knew that would be highly impossible. Or so they thought. With fights, friends, secrets, and love, who will make it out on top? Who will truly claim the title of top heartbreaker?

𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝟏𝟖
Brian O'Neill. The coldest fella Tommen's has ever seen-or so they say. And I get it. He walks down the halls like he owns the place, never says much unless he has to, face like it's carved out of marble, always unreadable. He's like a winter prince-untouchable, a bit terrifying, and way too beautiful to be real. But he's mine. He's my boyfriend. He makes my heart beat like a bloody war drum every time he so much as looks at me with that stormy gaze of his. Protective to a fault. He'd burn the whole world down if it meant keeping his siblings safe. They're everything to him-his whole bleeding heart, even if he acts like he hasn't got one. And he fights. Not schoolyard scuffles. Not rugby scraps. I'm talking about underground, illegal fights. The kind you don't talk about. The kind you pray he walks away from. *** Daisy Biggs. If sunshine had a body and a runway walk, it'd be her. She's Ireland's it girl-covers of magazines, Vogue campaigns, CHANEL deals before she was even out of third year. Everyone knows her name. Every girl wants to be her, and every lad stares a bit too long when she walks past. But she's mine. She's my girlfriend. Yeah-me. The cold bastard with blood on his knuckles and bruises under his hoodie. I don't know how I pulled her, honest to God. Maybe 'cause she sees something in me no one else bothers to look for. But we keep it quiet. No one at Tommen's knows. Can't risk the papers finding out, or the other students. She's soft with me. Gentle in a way that makes me forget I've got cuts across my ribs or a busted lip. When I show up to her place, bleeding or shaking or just not right in the head after a fight, she never freaks. She just pulls me in, cleans me up, and wraps her arms around me like I'm something worth saving. I know she hates the fights. Hates what they do to me. Hates what I have to do to win. But what am I supposed to do? When you've got a da who treats you like a weapon, you learn real quick that choices are a luxury.Complete

"I dare you to kiss the girl on your right." The girl on the right. . . my sleep deprived mind made out sluggishly. Girl on the right, it repeated again and my eyes flew open, all atom of sleep disappearing from them. I was the girl on the right! *** Bullied for the colour of her skin ever since she could remember, Olayinka doesn't know what it means to be accepted. She's called trash and treated as an outcast all because of the school's resident bad boy and top bully, Kian Fields. Senior year starts with Kian suddenly becoming very nice and naive Olayinka, unaccustomed to this type of attention and desperately wishing for acceptance, begins to fall for him. That is, until Jayden Ross enters the equation. Jayden is nerdy, wears ugly glasses and is definitely not Olayinka's kind of guy. But as he aids Olayinka in standing up for herself, she can't help but be drawn to his shy and gentle exterior. With Kian showering his attention on her and Jayden, who looks out for her all the time, Olayinka is attracted to both of them. Could this be her very own love triangle or is it just in her head? But maybe, just maybe she'll finally be able to live as any other teen her age would, worrying about boys and perhaps she'll finally be considered normal. *** Second Place in Teen Fiction Category for The Undiscovered Awards 2020*** ***Feautured in Wattpad Ambassador NG reading list*** ***First Place in Teen Fiction Category for The Evergreen Awards*** ***Third Place in Teen Fiction Category for The Faith Awards***Complete
Serendipity - a fortunate happenstance |✔
"'For life' remember?" he kissed my forehead gently and rested his chin upon my head. "For life" I agreed, sighing a breath of relief. ✴✴✴ A girl who treasured goodness in everything she encounters. A symbol of benevolence. She never might have thought everything she felt for him would just become a lull before the storm. For her, it's no secret what kind of a game he was playing. But upon all, she saw in his eyes what nobody else cared enough to see before. She insisted on revealing what made him the person he was. That strikes off-limits for him. How jaded his soul had become in the face of cynical insensitiveness of human nature, it's impossible for him to believe that someone could genuinely care, unbelievable even more for a guy like him.The more she seemed to penetrate through his pretenses, the more he got terrified. The more he got terrified, he got furious. Could falling in love with him be HER MISTAKE? Or Could denying her faith on him be HIS MISTAKE? An accident which drove them apart leaving one with guilt and the other with betrayal, but love in both...... Can the betrayal which represses her soul and the guilt which strangles his existence be obliterated? Will this be a fortunate happenstance.....their serendipity? © cover image - @donmashelen/InstagramComplete

All his life, Tunde has felt bound with shackles, longing to taste freedom. Real freedom---to walk down the streets, smiling, with a regular heartbeat, and without fearing for his life. Tunde finds himself in South Africa at the worst time possible---a time the Saffas frown heavily upon Nigerians. He should stay low and try to stay hidden, but first he has to get Jabulani off his back. Right after he figures out what exactly Jabulani wants from him. 2) YOUR WIFE: You think your wife is cheating on you. All the signs are there, and she doesn't even talk to you anymore. But you have to investigate. You need to know the truth---what she does when you're away; why she spends so long in the bathroom. You have to know the truth---even if it destroys you. 3) JONATHAN: Funmi has no friends. None at all. Not even the rats pay her any attention, and she feels all alone in the prison that is her mind. No one would talk to her---no one, save Jonathan. It's always been Jonathan, by her side for ten years past. Funmi does not mind. Jonathan is smart. He has a charming smile, with a silver dagger up his sleeves, and he is never going to let her be alone. Ever again. 4) JONATHAN (SEE QUELLING): After yet another sedation, Funmi slumps into a dark realm, trapped in a space darker than anything she has ever known-here, all her dirty secrets and deepest fears take precedence. Something hunts her too, from ages long before her birth, and Funmi knows she can't outrun it. It will catch her, and it will kill her. But Jonathan stands by her side, emerged from the darkness, so maybe there is hope. He offers her a helping hand, while clutching a dagger in his other hand, and all she has to do to survive is trust him. 5) THAT SUNDAYComplete

LAW OF ATTRACTION
Newton needed an apple to discover the Law of universal attraction. I needed Alex Carter to discover the attraction. Alex Carter, THE BAD BOY. Do I need to say more? Probably not, because everyone knows him. He's the typical bad boy with bad behavior, leather jacket, and that dark aura that makes almost every girl drool over him, along with the fact that he is strong, handsome, with brown hair, tattoos, and a smolder look that can set you on fire. But he's also known for fighting, dealing drugs, vandalism, and so much more that make everyone fear him. He screams Danger. He is Danger. Me, Elena, on the other hand, I'm a nerd. Do I need to say more? Well, there isn't much to say. Nobody knows me. I'm invisible. I always play it safe and follow the rules. I have two friends, and I've been bullied several times because I'm shy, awkward, clumsy, and I have good grades, attributes that don't really help in high school. Everything separates us, or so it seems, yet an irresistible attraction pulls us together. People will say 'opposites attract', but maybe we have more in common than we've thought, and that's what draws us together... Like 2 free electrons, will our encounter result in a rare, beautiful, perfect balance, or will it cause a ravaging explosion?

It Was Just For Fun (BoyXBoy)
Jayden was never meant to be a prince, but when he gets adopted by the king and queen, he has to prepare himself for the challenges ahead. Luckily, his personal knight, Kam, is there to help him out. Together, they will have to deal with mages, fight dragons, and face windigos. Follow them as they learn more about each other, and learn to look past their deferences to accomplish their goals and save the kingdom. Firstly, a huge thanks to my friend Sophia (@sopheyyis or @B1ashe) for drawing the cover. She is an amazing artist, go follow her on instagram and tik toc because she is the best. Warning: this is not for kids or people sensitive to triggers. I tend to write on the dark side, just so you know. There will be no smut, but there will be mentions of sex, abuse, abandonment, a little bit of swearing and this list could be updated as the story goes on. I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!Complete
