I stood in front of the mirror staring at the girl in front of me. I moved my hand in a waving motion to see if the person in the mirror was me. The reflection waved back at me. I sighed, my head slumping forward in, what was it? Despair? Relief? Dejectedness? Whichever one it was, it felt like pinches all over my body, reminding me that everything around me was real, even when I wished everything around me wasn't.

Is This Love? (#Wattys2015)
Landing on top of Robert she began to beat at his chest. "How dare you...you can't do this to me! You can't just show up when you feel like it and the pretend nothing is wrong!" Grabbing her hands, he flipped them over holding her hands down and above her head. "Why does it matter what happened? That past does not matter now. I have been through too much to just walk away now." "You've been through too much? Oh and let me guess I've just been living the good life? I willingly left home, had sex, and got knocked up. You know if I had never met you...none of this would have ever happened!" Robert looked down into her eyes searching for something but only finding cold hard eyes,"You don't mean that." Keeping her ice stare, "Yes I do. I. Hate." ~~Jasmine and Robert are fated to be together, true mates, but will life's obstacles keep them apart? Will they fight for what is theirs and stick together to the end? ~Also check out my newest book called Prophet. It's awesome!Complete
Blue // Daniel Seavey
A reflection. Do you like yours, love yours or hate yours? There's many people in this world who dislike theirs, not because of the physicality that they see in a mirror, but because they know what's lurking behind the eyes that stare. So much can be seen in yourself from your own pair of eyes, things that others don't seem to see. Do you know why that is? That's because no one knows you better than you know yourself. A pair of eyes could seem so kind, warm and innocent to the world, but only yourself could know the true darkness behind them. There's one person in this world who knows exactly what I'm talking about. He knows the infuriating, angering feeling of the painful suffering he experiences when his own eyes meet his reflection's. Deadly, severe, menacing: is what he sees. Everyone who looks into them simply see a bright pair of ocean eyes. Blue. That's all they see. But only himself knows he's drowning in the tidal waves of their deep ocean. And no one cares enough to notice, to help, or to save. Until her. She used to think fire was more murderous than ice. Little did she know, that would all change at first glance. She saw the eyes, she noticed their blue, she stared for a second too long, and now she knows that there's no going back. He'll claim her. ~If I take a step away from him, he takes a step closer to me. If I run, he'll find his way back.~ ~I'm trying my goddamned hardest to not act on the ache I'm feeling to place my lips on hers, just to have a little taste, because I don't want to appear as some sex-driven teenage boy who just wants to claim her body. Because I don't. I want to claim her heart.~ *Mature content: Strong language, aggressive behaviour, sexual content etc.* Note: Don't skip past the prologue. A bit of the dialogue or description in the first half of the book may seem slightly immature; I'll have to edit that when I get the chance. Started: 31/08/18 Completed: 02/04/19Complete

"Now look at you," he said slowly, his breath hitting my neck. "And tell me why I would let that little boyfriend of yours have you all to himself." I did not have any words to reply him with. "The answer is..." He spun me around to face him. "...no reason. I would be a fool to let him have you." "I-" His lips gently silenced my protests, and his hands firmly held my wrists to the wall. There was only one fear in my heart as we both stood in the dressing room. 'Anyone could come in at anytime, and he wouldn't stop no matter who it was.' #168 - Adultfiction *RAW MATURE CONTENT!!*Complete![She Gets What She Wants [Watty's 2016-2018]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/76611352-256-k636845.jpg)

But, like I said, maybe she might just be my only hope to get Jordan. "Okay, so what exactly do you have in mind? What am I supposed to do?"

A Bad Boy's Worst Nightmare (Book 1)
She didn't reply and I felt her finger move across my skin, lower, and almost all the way down my lower back. A shiver coursed through my body, strangely pleasant, and I felt her finger stop. "Your tattoos are beautiful," she said softly. Too close. She was too close. My pulse was hammering and I could feel her cool breath against my skin when she spoke, and my body was warm from having felt her. I couldn't reply. My breathing was light and shaken. I wanted to just turn around and pull her against me, or rather put her against a wall, so I could kiss her and feel her more properly against me. If she touched me again, I wasn't sure that I could keep myself from doing just that. "I'm going to take a shower," I said suddenly in an attempt to escape. She didn't stop me, so I took that opportunity to walk away. When I reached the bathroom, I took a deep breath to steady myself as well as my pulse. Closing the door behind me, I ran a hand through my hair. She truly was a nightmare. A bad boy's worst nightmare was a girl that made him want to be a good one.Complete

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again."
