Awkward
- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.

365 Days with the Celebrity
Ariel Lee has been stuck for years in a dead-end job as an assistant chef. Struggling to meet ends meet in a life of poverty while raising her young son whose father left them for another woman, their lives would soon change when she narrowly won a coveted one-year contract with a year-end prize of a million dollars to be a full-time, in-house chef for world-renowned megastar singer, Leon Waltz, whose handsome model looks and sexy dance moves have women from all over the world swooning after. Ariel's stay at his penthouse soon proves to be challenging as she unravels behind-the-scenes of Leon's true personality beneath his glamour facade - his outrageously lavish but troubled lifestyle of alcohol and women, his unpredictable outbursts, and his frequent ruthless threats to fire her each time she failed to deliver to his satisfaction. Little did both of them realise that their relationship would blossom outside the bounds of a boss and employee as they got to know each other deeper in time, where feelings develop into a forbidden territory that neither wanted to succumb to. A life-changing incident and utter confusion would soon propel Ariel to re-evaluate her entire relationship with Leon and her purpose in life, forcing her to choose - either to stay on and be with Leon or walk away from him before the end of her contract, which would mean forfeiting her prize. *Selected by Asians-in-Literature in Romance *Listed in Best Books Recommendation by @Aparna_Bhagat First Edition: 2017 Second Edition: 2022 This book is a prequel to Life Without You: https://www.wattpad.com/story/141654413-life-without-youComplete
