REWRITING, SLOW UPDATES
"We are like crossroads. Our paths connected for a short time before diverging and were never meant to meet again." He demonstrated with his arms, intersecting them and pulling them apart. "But, if the trainmaster wills it," He gently grasped her hand and guided her to follow his lead. Their hands separated and spread out before curving back towards each other until their fingers were entwined. "Those roads might join together once more and continue onward as one."
Peter Derwin is a business man, professional yet flirtatious, who does not shy away from women. Alice Bernett is an aspiring writer, filled with passion and joy and imagination, who's looking for someone just like her.
When Peter Derwin catches her attention as a kind-hearted gentleman who shares her love of stories, Alice cannot help but grow fond of him. Very soon, Peter finds himself falling for her beauty and appearance rather than her soul. Maybe their love wasn't real, or maybe it was. But no matter the case, they both believed it to be, and that was good enough for them.
Tragedy strikes, and when Alice turns to Peter, she finds he didn't truly care at all for her well being. Instead, he was madly in love with her outside person, but did not have the heart to see in.
Through heartbreak and change, realization and forgiveness, the two's tracks meet once more, but this time they join forever.
A story of a man and a woman's love that is forbidden due to ties to their other partners, but life always seems to find a way.
Romance, drama, family.

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Complete
