Your friends lifted up their glasses, but how they never got to celebrate. Their eyes were on the lookout for reasons to applaud, but how they got to watch me shamelessly slipping into the vague darkness of the evening. How they got to whisper queries, and confusion, and displeasure into each other's ear. How they got to roll their eyes and mutter "maniac" under their breaths before my shadow could even disappear from their view.
Your head was bent low and your fists sat, curled up in an inhumane grief, upon your folded knees. So I never knew if you called me one too.
As a matter of fact Teddy, I wish you called me one.

Just For Your Love (The Second Book Of The Sacred Love Series)
'You don't even know me,' He shrugged. 'I feel like I do.' 'True, I feel the same way. I don't know, like a pull... What was your name in highschool?' I asked with widened eyes. 'What school did you attend?' 'My name was RW, why?' My head swelled as images flashed in my head, no wonder I felt it. 'You are the jerk who got my drink doctored and raped me! You took my virginity!' ~~~ Kristal, a beautiful lady in her late thirties, a feminist and sharp mouthed peacock. Money was the least of her problem, power, she had her brother, cousin and friend to get that for her if she wanted. She was a hardworking woman, a blogger and a good friend. The only thing that bothered her was forgetting the devil that took her pride away and fled, forgetting the touch of the guy that took advantage of her. Her love life was a mess as she couldn't find the right man to fill the emptiness in her life and heart, the right man to erase the one she was forever stuck with. Ryan Walker, a medical doctor who had lived half his life in Italy, lived in regret and depression in the inside but jovial to the outside. His regret revolved around the last shit he did before leaving his birth country, getting stuck with the image of just one girl, drowning in unsatisfaction just for one person. Tired of sleepless nights; nights of regrets, a life of depression and pain, he decided it was time he fixed his mistake; he was going to claim what he should have claimed a long time ago.Complete

"I didn't call you over here," she told him calmly. "I know but you were staring so hard I figured you needed something," he told her with his infuriating smirk. She smiled sweetly in return, "Now, what could I possibly want from you?" His eyes roamed over her face for a minute before his arm shot out and wrapped around her waist. She let out a surprised gasp as she suddenly found herself pressed up against him. She shivered involuntarily as she felt his breath fan her face and stiffened again as she realized how close his face was to her own. •••••••• A story about a group of friends going after the boys they've been secretly in love with for all of high school.

Misunderstood ✅
They were the exception The promise meant to be broken They were so alike yet so different They didn't want to admit it even though the truth shone brightly The thought of them being alike was so sickening that they turned a blind eye at any given opportunity They say opposites attract but for Nevaeh and Leonardo that was not the case "Why are you still here ?" She questioned I looked up to see her curious facial expression "I couldn't leave you here" I simply said and shrugged my shoulders , I was both lying and telling the truth. "It's not like I asked you to stay" "You didn't have to" "Why are you such an asshole ?" She said I could feel the intensity in her voice the way she held back all the anger and frustration . My blood was boiling not from the fact that she just swore me but from the fact that I didn't have it in me at that particular time to respond to her rude remark instead I just pushed down my anger and breathed "Well when people paint you out to be someone you end up becoming that person" "So just because they paint you out to be someone doesn't mean you have to live up to their expectations" I chuckled a low chuckle and looked out into the horizon she's so gullible so oblivious to this world to this cruel evil world , "And yet here you are living up to their expectations".......Complete

Cupcake Boy
"You. Have. A. Crush?" one of my best friends looked at me like I was some kind of an alien from outer space. The shock on her face made me regret telling this to her. I then gave her a sheepish smile but honestly, I despised that look on her face or on anybody's face. Hey! I'm a person too. Am I not allowed to have a crush?! "Oh shut up and let her finish!" I silently thanked my other best friend seated next to me. "What?! I thought she didn't have a heart and now look!" Willow replied blatantly. I gave her a look. "Soooo, what's his name?" She leaned forward. I could feel my cheeks heating up as I played with my fingers. "Okay come closer. I'm only going to whisper his name once." With that, the four of us leaned in together and once we did, I whispered his name as softly as possible. Once we pulled back, there was only silence in our group. I quickly looked down to avoid all the stares. Seconds later, Noah was the first to speak. "Alright. I mean I don't know him so I can't judge. He seems decent," he shrugged and smiled at me. "Noah's right. He's cute and he's got manners." Cora added. I sighed and then we all turned to Willow. She was too quiet. Ooops spoke to soon. "WHY HIM?! Of all people?!"Complete
