Today was, without a doubt, the worst in my twenty-two years of life up until now.
My outfit? Ruined.
Hair? Frizzy beyond help.
Make-up? Non-existent.
And, the kicker, I managed to blow an interview for the job that was supposed to set me up with a steady paycheck for the next twenty years. Maybe thirty.
And....Oh! I almost forgot. I nearly killed someone today as well.
Yeah. I'm livin' the dream, right?
Not.
Pause for a second.
Now, as you may have noticed, in the beginning of this I said was. It was the worst day of my existence until...well, until I met him.

SHOOTING YOUR SHOT (#1 in Soccer Club Series)
"Everything happens for a reason" Taking the decision to go alone to my brother's wedding was never a easy decision but I took it, even though I hate how I have to face and answer my clan members. But when an unexpected 6'2, brown hair and hazel eyed person appears in front of me and proceeds to tell me or should I say order me, "You aren't going there alone. I will be your date." His words stun me. I might actually faint. A person or my best friend's brother who I rarely interact with, thanks to his rude nature wants to be my date to my brother's wedding. My author self is quite speechless. This might make a good romance novel, no wait! A good murder novel it is. "Are you dead?" "No, I am stunned. What wrong did I do to receive your fellowship?" He raises his eyebrows and glances at his watch and then glares at me like I dared waste his time by asking him questions. Then so be it. I hope whatever games my life is playing right now, I hope they make me win or keep both of us alive. Because I don't know how long will I survive without killing this 6'2 grumpy ass or how long will he survive without killing me. God, help me!Complete

What if there was a secret to tear you up from the inside? Would love be enough to keep two different people together? All rights reserved.

A Flicker of Hope
°Aniya° Hope and faith-two useless words. I buried them years ago, when life proved they don't keep promises. My mom has cancer. I work myself to exhaustion just to afford a chance at saving her. My father? Gone. Always has been. And me? I've always been alone. But then he barged into my life. Made things feel lighter, easier, almost... okay. Until everything came crashing down again. Now I'm stuck doing the one thing I promised myself I'd never do. Hope.. ------------- °Darius° Hockey was my dream. Until it broke me. Now I'm stuck living out a choice my parents wanted, and I agreed to, even if it feels like chains. Then she showed up. A girl who doesn't ask for help, doesn't want it, but still gets it from me-because I can't seem to stop. Something about her pulls me in and keeps me close. I've always done the same thing: I follow. I observe. I conquer. But she's different. This time, the only thing I want- is her.
The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete
Are you okay?
*currently editing** "I turned around to see Nathan, he was already looking at me with the biggest smile on his face. His hair was already covered in snow flakes. "and I didn't think it was possible to love you anymore than I already did" he gave me that look. That damn look that had me head over heals every time. I don't think he actually realised what he did to me every time he looked at me like that, a part of me thought that made it even better."Complete
