Azalea Flores is an actual mess. She can't plant for the life of her, but... that's like her families whole thing. She's an awful cook, yet she loves to do so. She has curves for days, and embraces them constantly, but she can think of some people that don't. Her favorite food is ice cream but her lactose intolerance really screws that up for her. And what she really loves is painting. And really, she's so good at it, but can she go pro? She thinks not. And her piano skills are top tier. But again, there's not use in loving it if you can pursue it. And even if she wanted to pursue these things, she'd have to get over her severe case of "I hate socializing with people", otherwise known as being a introvert with anxiety.
Then you have mr popular, Ezra Leon. He's a beauty, truly, ask anyone. But his intellectual skills are less than desired. He's a softy, he's bilingual, and a botanist. So he's like, yunno... perfect. But is he perfect for Az? Is botany perfect for Az? Seems like impractical questions, I know, but trust me, they're quite relevant. Just wait and see.

Until I Met Her
I was never the cool girl. Never the centre of attention. Hell, the first party I ever went to was because Kheli dragged me there when I was seventeen. Oh, Kheli... Kheli was my first love. My first everything. But once we finished high school, we parted ways. My plans were very clear: go to university, have fun, go to parties, maybe fool around at some point when missing Kheli got too much for me to handle. I don't know - the typical university life you see in movies. However, it was nothing like that. I was struggling to keep up with my assignments, my classes, all the drama, the parties, Kheli, the people, PokΓ©mon Go - everything. I couldn't keep up with any of it. And then... Eleanor Williams did what she does best. She came out of nowhere and planted herself right in the middle of my world. And like a very fucking annoying tree, she set down roots and refused to move. And then I found myself - God, kill me now - enjoying being around Eleanor Williams. I found myself watering the fucking tree even when I knew it would only make the roots grow deeper, until there was no way of pulling it out. (Yes, sometimes I make very shitty metaphors. You'll get used to it.) But just because I was, much to my dismay, enjoying Eleanor Williams's company didn't mean she wanted me around.
Tough Love (Book 2)
____ "I'd love to marry you Leon! Yes!" He tried slipping the ring on my finger. He did it once. Twice. Thrice. He looked at the ring and sighed, "Shit. I got the wrong size." "Are you serious?" I laughed wiping tears. "Yeah..." He got up and let out a frustrated sigh. He raked his hair back. "I'm sorry. I wish I wasn't such an idiot and just a fucking-" I silenced him with a kiss. "I love you just as you are idiot." "And I love you." ____ Zinhle has finally got her eyesight back and is now engaged to Leon Kelly. She never thought she'd find such a man. An honest, trustworthy and selfless man who's presence alone made her feel warm inside. A man who respected and treasured her. So far their relationship had been an adventure like no other. They thought they could conquer the world together. In fact, the road after engagement to marriage is simple right? All you're doing is planning a wedding. The hardships are over. They soon discover living together is not as easy as they thought and that the road to marriage isn't sunshine and rainbows. In fact, it's tough. It would have them fighting like never before and questioning their future together. But most of all, it would teach them a very important lesson in life. Love is tough. Love hurts. It won't always be full of hugs and kisses, it will sometimes include heart breaking words and scars. But because it's love, no matter how many times you have to pick up and fix up your heart after its ripped out, stabbed and kicked around, you always find a way to go back for the little moments you treasure.Complete![Before the Morning [BEING EDITED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/26174814-256-k964973.jpg)

F***in' Arizona
How bad could it be to enlist your female best friend into helping you lie to your Christian family about your new relationship with your male best friend and about your newfound sexuality? Not that bad, right? Right??? --------- Nova Queen and Arizona "Ari" Matthews weren't always close in high school, but after an intense and serious conversation in the library one day, the two become the best of friends until they go their separate ways their freshman year of college. Now in their mid 20s and freshly out of grad school, they are reunited in the park of their hometown where Ari asks a huge favor of Nova that she later wishes she had refused. But in the end, will she really wish she had refused? *FA spans a timeline from 2010-2020 to help the reader see how the relationships were built between characters in a partial series of flashbacks. It also helps the reader to really see into the minds of Arizona and Nova as they age, and the effect different life events have on them. It's a bit of a slower build and the plot is mostly seen a little later in the book, but I promise it's worth it. π *I do not own any of the rights to the music nor the pictures. *Rated M for language, sexual content, destructive behaviors, suicide, and dialogue that may be triggering for some readers. *These characters may do or say things that you don't agree or may get upset with, please remember YOU ARE NOT THESE PEOPLE, and their lives are a work of fiction and my imagination.

"Okay, you know what? You're such a jackass and I never should have kissed you," I say. Colton stands up. His green eyes are just as angry as mine are. "Then why did you?" he asks. "I don't know!" I yell. "Why did you kiss me back?" "Hey, you kissed me," Colton says. "We already established that! God! It's like talking to a wall. Whatever I say just fucking bounces right off of you!" I yell. "Do you have any idea how maddening you are?" Colton looks at me. "You don't think you're infuriating?" Colton asks. I narrow my eyes. He starts to walk towards the door. I grab the M&M's and chuck them at Colton. He whips around, his eyes blazing green. "Where the fuck are you going? We're talking!" I yell, crossing my arms. He rubs the back of his neck where the M&M's hit him. "You wanna talk? Fine. Let's talk," Colton says. "You're obviously messed up from all of the shit your mom did." "Maybe I am! It's not your fucking business!" I pause. "Why do you even care? You're just some manwhore, right? A fuckboy?" Colton laughs dryly. "Is that what you think I am?" he asks. He takes a step closer to me. I'm two seconds away from kissing him again. Andy Reed-Collins has never fit in.

Will she choose him?Complete

For the booksmart yet naΓ―ve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... β¨β¨β¨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete
