There is a saying, that the eyes are the window to the soul, so when I locked eyes across banquet hall with the mysterious masked man we immediately began to close the distance between us.
The buzzing in my ear gets louder the closer that we get but when me meet in the middle of the dance floor it suddenly comes to a halt. Time stops and the chatter fades out. The filled room around us blurs from my vision and it feels like we are the only ones in the world. His golden eyes don't leave mine for even a second as he grabs my hand and brings it up to his lips placing a soft kiss on my knuckles then lowering my hand but never letting go of it. He is just as focused on me as I am on him. The saying never made sense to me before but now that he is here staring directly into my eyes, I think I finally understand.
It feels like he sees right through me. My strengths, my vulnerabilities, my bliss, my burdens. Seeing me for all that I am. As I gaze back at him I see his. I see the sadness behind those beautiful eyes. The pain for all that's he's lost, the strength to go forward, the happiness for all that he's gained, the love for all that he has. I see him for all that he is.
A thrilling and emotional tale of two beings who try to navigate their newly found romance while dealing with a haunting past and chaotic present.

In one swift movement of my hand I reached behind Sapphire's neck and released her hair from the low ponytail it was in. She gasped at my action and looked at me with feverish eyes. I thought I saw the colour gold flicker in her eyes, for a few seconds before I lifted my hand near her face and tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear, before I said: "I fell in love with you, the first second I saw you reading that Tolstoy book in the library." She looked up at me, her warm beige skin looked like it was glowing now and she said with pure sincerity in her eyes "per sempre, in ogni dimensione, per sempre in ogni vita, solo tu fino al mio ultimo respiro amore mio" It meant (Forever, in every dimension, forever in every life, only you until my last breath, my love) I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me. Before kissing her the way I wanted to all this time, i looked into her eyes and said "Me too my love, me too." My first novel is about soulmates. And reincarnation. About, how many bodies a soul has to live in before they finally become their true selves. And before they finally get to be with their soulmate. It's about how love has so many faces. It's about how we never know what roads life will force us to cross. And what emotions we will be gifted to feel. And the things we're blessed with that sometimes we neglect. It's about giving yourself the time to grow and evolve before you give yourself to someone completely. And it's about not to take the love you have in your life for granted.Complete
Christmas Cinderella
«Status: November 22, 2015 - February 13, 2016» "What was that for?" I look into his hypnotizing light brown eyes. "Can't I just kiss a beautiful girl?" I knew this was too good to be true. They never go for the introverts. "Not when you don't know her." I quickly run out there, but my mask flys off. I don't notice though and run as fast as possible out there, "Wait!" I can hear the urgency in his voice but that makes me run even faster. "Good bye." I whisper quietly. [][][][][][][][][][] This is a bit cliche but what do you expect. This is a Cinderella story after all. Also, there is swearing but this is in high school. And there is MANY spelling and grammar mistakes but I am thirteen and most of the time I'm on the verge of sleeping. So, enjoy! Copyright to lucky-destiny NOT EDITEDComplete
The all-knowing Player (Solo Leveling)
He stares at me from the side, his strong gaze adding weight to his words. He seems to want to add something else, but it doesn't come out. I direct my gaze towards the line of horizon hidden behind the unending hills of sand. We stay silent for a moment until I hear him move next to me. "Come on." He stands up and holds his hand out for me to take. "Let's hunt." I smile and accept it, relying on him to get back on my feet. A strange feeling rises in my stomach as soon as my hand finds its place in his. But it isn't unpleasant, on the contrary, so I grip his hand tighter. He lets me and, almost blinded by the sun, I believe to see a soft smile tug on his lips. CURRENTLY BEING HEAVILY EDITED! If the writing style changes drastically between two chapters, please don't be surprised. In which a reader of the manhwa Solo Leveling is reincarnated as a second player and, despite her efforts, gets involved into the storyline until there is no going back. Added lore, added arcs. Slow burn. If you find any language mistakes, please let me know. Warning! Death, murder, blood, gore, depictions of trauma/PTSD, and occasional swearing. I do not own Solo Leveling and found the wallpaper on Pinterest, I only added the title.

❝May I have this dance, darling?❞ A soft chuckle escaped from his lips as he asked for my hand. He was close, way too close. I scoffed as his intense gaze carefully studied the frustration and disbelief that fell on my face. ❝We're really going to do this? Pretend we are that perfect happy couple who have jumped out of a fairy tale to attend this gala? Are you really that delusional Verratti?❞ I asked, my eyes twinkling in amusement, yet fully aware my words were as sharp as a knife. He deserved this and more, for all the shit he is putting me through. His smirk dropped as he stared down at me for one full minute, his gaze intense, like he was holding himself back from saying something. He then took a step forward, like he was trying to figure something out. I was almost convinced my words finally started to have an impact on him, until his face relaxed into a lazy grin as he proceeded to lick his bottom lip. ❝But darling, you seem to have quite the reputation for being the perfect doll in everyone's eyes. It shouldn't be that hard for an elite, versatile actress such as yourself to play the role as that one special gift sent from your family, just for me.❞ His green eyes were dark with amusement as he leaned in, his lips brushing against my earlobe. I tensed; he took it far. Too fucking far. ❝Fuck you Nikolai.❞ I seethed; my tone laced with venom meant just for him. His grin slowly turned into a sinister smirk, relentlessly taunting me as he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer towards him. One of his hands wrapped around my waist, the other entwined itself with my remaining hand. He slowly regained his posture and composure, and whispered softly into my ear, ❝Fuck you too Carla.❞
Two Sides Of The Crown
As I was opening the door, a hand fell on mine, shutting it back. I could feel his presence behind me and I let out a shaky breathe. Then his face was next me. "Are you avoiding me?" He whispered. I quickly shook my head. _______________________________________ I stopped in my tracks when I saw who was sitting on his motorcycle waiting for me outside. I gasped. He looked up from his phone and grinned. "Y-you waited." He shrugged. "How else would you have gotten home. I wanted to make sure you were okay." "But your extra classes-" "Forget it, I was late anyway, princess." He took my hand to help me onto the bike. He sat down as well an I was already grabbing him tight. I can't let go of someone like him. ___________________________________________ "What?" I breathed out. I felt heated breaths on my face which startled me. Instantly, my eyes fell open. Quentin was gazing down at me... but not at me? How do I write this? It was like he was dazed a bit, staring down at something else attached to my face. And that 'something else' was very close to HIS 'something else'. I don't remember who pulled away faster, me or him.
