"Why do you always do that?" he asked me, watching as I looked up at him.
"Do what?" I questioned, confused.
He shook his head, "Every time I compliment you, you refuse to even glance in my direction. Why?"
I shrugged, "I guess I'm just not very good with compliments. They distract me."
"They 'distract you'?" he raised an eyebrow. I nodded.
"Yeah. It just repeats itself over and over in my head until I finally convince myself that you're wrong or you're lying," I explained, staring at my worn out shoes as I dug them into the ground, wanting nothing more than to just dig a hole and hide in it.
"Look me in the eyes," he whispered and gently lifted my chin with his warm hand. My eyes met his. "And try to tell me I'm lying when I say that you're the most beautiful girl that I've ever met."

Unmasking Admirer
Book I of II I'm 17 year's old living in the city, where crime never sleep's. Probably wondering how I mange, I do too. But trust me I've had my fair share of run-ins with assholes, but I've learned to grow a thick skin. I rarely let people in besides my best friend, Chris. We've known each other since we were in diapers. We know everything about each other, but what he doesn't know is that I might be in love with him. And I say 'i might' because I really don't know what I'm feeling. Like cmon, he's my best friend hella cliche right. So yeah, only time will tell, what the hell I'm feeling. "Listen, guys, I just wanna get home." One of the guys tried to grab my bag but I pulled back and held it tight. "Don't we all, little lady." Did he? Oh hell no. I was about to say something, then one of them pulled out something shiny. "I really don't want, any trouble tonight." One of them lunged at me, but then out of nowhere. Someone came literally, falling from the sky. It was a girl, and she was dressed in all black. And she wore a mask, so I couldn't see her face. She turned to me and said. "RUN!"

Valenci: Never Lose Me
In the blink of an eye, I lost everything - my mother, my home, and my life. The only thing she left me was a debt I couldn't repay and a bounty on my head, and desperate times require desperate measures. ---------------------------------------- A mischievous smile spreads across his lips as he takes a big step toward me, and as soon as I am within his reach, he grabs my hips and pulls me against him. I lay my hands on his chest and trace my fingers along the outlines of his tattoos as he maneuvers me back to his desk. My ass presses against the edge of his desk as he lets his hands run down my sides until he grabs my ass cheeks " Are you sore from last night, baby?" "I'm fine." "I hope you're not lying to me," he whispers against my lips.Complete
Blue // Daniel Seavey
A reflection. Do you like yours, love yours or hate yours? There's many people in this world who dislike theirs, not because of the physicality that they see in a mirror, but because they know what's lurking behind the eyes that stare. So much can be seen in yourself from your own pair of eyes, things that others don't seem to see. Do you know why that is? That's because no one knows you better than you know yourself. A pair of eyes could seem so kind, warm and innocent to the world, but only yourself could know the true darkness behind them. There's one person in this world who knows exactly what I'm talking about. He knows the infuriating, angering feeling of the painful suffering he experiences when his own eyes meet his reflection's. Deadly, severe, menacing: is what he sees. Everyone who looks into them simply see a bright pair of ocean eyes. Blue. That's all they see. But only himself knows he's drowning in the tidal waves of their deep ocean. And no one cares enough to notice, to help, or to save. Until her. She used to think fire was more murderous than ice. Little did she know, that would all change at first glance. She saw the eyes, she noticed their blue, she stared for a second too long, and now she knows that there's no going back. He'll claim her. ~If I take a step away from him, he takes a step closer to me. If I run, he'll find his way back.~ ~I'm trying my goddamned hardest to not act on the ache I'm feeling to place my lips on hers, just to have a little taste, because I don't want to appear as some sex-driven teenage boy who just wants to claim her body. Because I don't. I want to claim her heart.~ *Mature content: Strong language, aggressive behaviour, sexual content etc.* Note: Don't skip past the prologue. A bit of the dialogue or description in the first half of the book may seem slightly immature; I'll have to edit that when I get the chance. Started: 31/08/18 Completed: 02/04/19Complete
Stepbrother // River Phoenix
"I can't do this! We!- can't do this!" I said averting my eyes from his and touching my neck where his lips once were. "Why not?" River said, obviously hurt and angered, and it wasn't because he didn't go all the way with me. "River!" I yelled in disbelief,"we can't be whatever you want us to be.. we have to be just friends," I closed my eyes and tried not to look at him,"and that's all." "I don't wanna be your friend."Complete

A Beauty In Darkness (completed)
"Don't you wish you could see the world?" Ryan asks me. "Sometimes, I wish to see who I'm talking to! But this is how it has to be." I whisper, I feel like I could memorize his facial features. "No it doesn't Faith!" He whispers. "Why do you care so much? I'm nothing special, You'll forget about me?!" I demand, as I stood up about to walk away. "Because you intrigue me! I want to help you see me! And you've made me fall in love with you!" Ryan says. "No you can't love a freak like me! You can have better people.

Beautiful Faces {b.f - book 1} ➳ Christian Collins
Chris pulled me by the wrist slightly to keep me back. We looked at each other while we stood by the car. He rested his hands in my hips. "So....." he said nonchanantly, "I was thinking... maybe if you wanted go hang out tomorrow..." he smirked, "no offence, but just me and you.." i smiled and looked away from him, down the street... at the tree in front of Luke's house... anywhere but his eyes. I knew if I looked at him I would blush redder than roses... but i had to. I looked him in the eye, surprised as my cheeks felt only slightly warm. "Are you asking me on a date.." I asked slowly, like if I said the words to fast he'd miss them and change the subject. His radiant green eyes looked into my dull hazle ones like I was what he'd been waiting for his whole life..... maybe I was. "Only if you say yes..." he said hesitantley... "But even if you said no... you really have no choice.." he joked. We laughed together. I played with the zipper of his sweater. "I'm sorry.. don't really like you like that.." I said through a small smile. I tried to contain my laughter when I saw confusion take over his radiant eyes but couldnt. He looked at me as I laughed into his chest. I could hear his heart beat, his lungs filling with air and letting air out.. again and again. I tuned my head so my lips were grazing his neck slightly.. only when he moved. "Of course I like you like that.. " I whispered. He let out a sigh of relief. "Pick me up tomorrow after school... at my house." I said as I pulled away, getting into the car. His eyes stared into mine as i closed the door and rolled down my window, "See you tomorrow.." he leaned into the window kissing me gentley on my cheek. "Good bye Gorgeous.." he said quietly. He stepped back as Luke pulled out of his drive way and down the street. We sat in silence for a few minuets. "You really like him..." he said to me as i stared out he window. I looked at him and smiled. "I always have...."Complete
Moonlight
"Stop that." I jumped slightly as my eyes shot over to the familiar hulking form standing in the doorway of my bathroom. I always forget how tall Derek is until I'm standing right next to him. Or in this case in front of him. "Stop what?" my brows furrowed as I watched his reflection fully enter the room until he stood right behind me. His large hands rested on either side of me on the counter, trapping me between his arms. His chin hovered over my left shoulder as his forest eyes scanned my face in the mirror, his lips forming a small barely noticeable frown. But I noticed it. "Stop judging yourself." was his simple reply, but I know that something like that is easier said than done. "you're beautiful, red..." he leaned in further and I could feel his hard chest pressed against my back, making my insides do somersaults. "if you knew what I've done... the people I've hurt... you wouldn't think I was beautiful either..." ...... Alice Books has blood on her hands and doesn't believe she deserves a shot at redemption. A shot at love. Or a shot at life in general. What she did to have blood on her hands was out of self-defense and survival, but she doesn't see it that way and doubts she ever will... Until she meets the bad boy, Derek Wilder, who- underneath all the glares, tattoos, piercings, and leather jackets- is an absolute goofball. He sees Alice for all she's worth: Strong, beautiful, and not the cold-blooded murderer she likes to claim she is. He's determined to prove it to her no matter how long it takes- all the while fighting demons of his own. Will Alice continue to think she's the monster the voice in her head claims her to be? Or will Derek's demons ruin everything for everyone? ............... I will be uploading every MONDAY! ⚠️trigger warning⚠️ This story does contain ABUSE! so if that is something that you are not comfortable reading, I ask that you DO NOT READ! you have been warned...Complete
