Why Can't I Be Yours? by joyolokungboye

|| featured @newlywrittenbooks 29/12/2022. *** Michelle Thompson, the eighteen-year-old workaholic is bent on earning her boss's attention at all costs. Though not pushy or... flirty, she's soaked in solid sex dreams which gets worse with each passing day. Slowly and unnoticeably, she develops partial-obsessive tendencies; one that kept her dwindling in the thoughts of having sex with him-even as a virgin! Forgoing his harsh countenance, overly exaggerated reactions, she envisions Charles in the portrait of cold-nineteenth century men that spew flavors of love to their lovers-in the door. And Charles Jackson, built on grace and glamor, could win a medal in egocentrism, pride, rudeness, malevolence, prudishness and of course, beauty! Lurking in the shadows of her emotions and fated to be bewitched by perfect blue eyes that defied everything morality, she might discover that Charles Jackson, heir to Jackson Companies PLC and CED of Westland Airlines was truly born of STONE and FROST. And worse, everything that she believed might just be a lie! ••• Yo guys, quick message. This book is under a critical rewrite, like... at present as I want to complete this writing project before college resumption. I'll be leaving updates about rewritten chapters in the first page of the book, here on Wattapad. The message should come like this "chapter 7 is out, don't read beyond", and kindly oblige to avoid confusions and spoilers.

Don't Write Me Off by marwritesalot

Erika Gonzales is getting better but her best friend thinks otherwise. With a Sharpie-scribbled phone number she copied from the back of a restroom door cubicle, Paula Rivera is determined to solve two problems at once: 1. Help Erika graduate on time by (finally) passing Math 11, and 2. Distract Erika from the almost year-long heartbreak of getting over Gab Rallos--with a complete stranger, romantic-wise or not. Jasper De Jesus, on the other hand, is on a mission to get Corinne Soliman back. The last thing he needs is to tutor someone he barely knows: the girl he remembers as the one who accidentally spilled her drink on him at Walrus, on the night of the break up. When Erika and Jasper finally agree on an arrangement that involves a lot of long nights at the library and writing letters to the one that got away, they form a friendship that could be something more; if only they knew how to make the past stay behind them for good.

✅ My Cousin's Keeper [NaNoWriMo 2021] by kittyangelabdl

Gabby wants a little to look after, so she and her girlfriend Ffrances can have the joy of playing with a child. When her cousin Tess comes to stay with her for a year, it looks like a perfect opportunity. Gabby will help Tess to find a childlike headspace, and everyone will have what they want. Unfortunately, Tess is more than a little reluctant, but Gabby knows how to work around that. It might take a little more time, but she's sure that Tess will realise how happy she is to be a baby by the end of the year. --------- This book and The Last New Start tell the same story from different perspectives. Both of them will be complete stories in their own right, but reading them together might give a little more depth. I will be writing these for NaNoWriMo 2021, which means that I will attempt to post at least one chapter of one of the stories every day in November; and if I can write faster than that, then any remaining chapters will be available to all my Patreon supporters (including the $1 tier) for this month. If there's anything in particular you would like to see in this story, please leave me a comment.
