a book about how to read people
a field guide to human behavior.
Just a reminder that everybody has their own body language and that a signal for 'yes' in one culture may mean 'no' in another; a gesture for 'good-bye' in one culture can be interpreted as 'come here' in another.
(This could also be used for character development for your fictional books too, but this is mostly on how to read people.)
(Also, I apologize for the inconsistency in some of the chapters. I have a memory of a goldfish and too lazy to edit.)

The Awakening
*Book contains strong language and sexual content* Follow Angel as she sets out on a journey to find herself. Growing up she always knew that she was different from every one else. She could run faster, see, hear, and smell better, but could never figure out why. It wasn't until she decided to take off on a journey and start a new life, that she discovered just how different she was. Her whole life was changed when three gorgeous men moved into the run down house next door. She soon finds out there is a whole other half to her, that she never knew about. Along the way she finds herself wrapped up in love with the guy next door. 'Happy birthday to me!' she thought. The three men that were standing next to the truck talking were the most impressive things she has ever seen. The youngest looking one was blonde with green eyes, and you could see through his tight shirt that he must work out a lot. The next guy had a sandy blonde colored hair and his eyes looked to be brown, she couldn't be sure since she only got a quick glimpse before he turned to talk to the last man. The last man was taller than the others; he looked as he would be the oldest of the three. He had dark black hair and blue eyes. Not the sky blue like her eyes, these were like a dark sapphire blue something that she had never seen before. She could see every muscle of his arms and chest through his tight shirt. She found herself gawking at the man and had to make herself turn away and close her mouth that was obviously hanging open in surprise. Don't get yourself all worked up, it's probably just the moving guys. The people who move in are probably going to be an old grumpy couple that never wants company she told herself. At the same time she couldn't stop wishing that she was wrong and that these men were going to be her new next door neighbors.Complete

Havoc
What would you do if you are offered your dream job. Probably take it without hesitation I guess? I would too. But what if it comes with a "small" catch? You'd have to move across the world and leave everybody and everything behind, Still would take it? I did. What made it so hard was the fact that the father of my child didn't think it was a 'good idea'. But still I did it. After making that decision I kinda figured out the meaning of the saying "life is a roller coaster". I had my dream job, my beautiful princess with me, even my annoying brother as a support. And made some cool friends on the road. But after one phone call a chain of events started happening that changed everything. This is life, so prepare the feel everything. I have to warn you that in this book you will find a lot of sarcasm, cursing and mature themes are included. So be warned :) And also apologies in advance if sometimes my vocabulary is a bit bland or I make some mistakes. I'm doing my first ever attempt in writing and doing it in second language:)Complete![Arrivederci || Dan Heng [✓ ] (Re-uploaded up to chapter 20)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/392965095-256-k847963.jpg)

Don't Let Go
Her hands tangled in his hair while his were beneath her tank top on her sides. They travelled upwards slowly, afraid she would walk away. He took the tank top, breaking the kiss for a few seconds. When it was off, Hannah didn't make a move to return the kiss. Christian wanted to lower his eyes so he could finally see what he has dreamt of for so many times but he knew Hannah was worried about something. (Hannah) "What're we doing?" (Christian) "You were the one who kissed me!" - he laughed. She rolled her eyes and sighed, rubbing her forehead. That's when Christian knew it was something serious. (Christian) "Why do you have to overthink everything?" - he sighed too. She looked at him in disbelief. (Hannah) "Maybe because I don't want to get hurt! I know you, Christian. Relationship is not a word on your dictionary!" (Christian) "Maybe because you haven't give me a chance!" (Hannah) "You're a mobster! My mom died because of a mobster! You think I want to end up like her?!" (Christian) "I've told you that I won't anything happen to you." (Hannah) "You can't-" He interrupted her by kissing her. He wanted her to shut up and stop worrying about everything and he knew that kissing her would definitely make her stop thinking. * A mature story that contains strong language and sexual content.* **I realized that this doesn't happen in many books, or none (I haven't read a book where this type of writing was used) but I want to let you know that during the story and when the characters speak, the person's name is in between brackets before the speech. Simply because it would probably get confusing if there wasn't anything that could distinguish who is talking after the speech. I hope you find it convenient during your reading.**Complete!["My Little Monster~"|| Selever X Reader [DISCONTINUED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/268673945-256-k202187.jpg)

I Did Not Read Freud
This is no longer a psychology book, for the writer is neither a psychologist nor a madman. It is more like a book of systematic analysis of everyday life, in order to try to illustrate what many people see, hear, feel, live and/or talk about on a day-to-day basis. That no one is normal, everyone knows. Because if we were normal, Jesus wouldn't say to be forgiven, because we don't know what we do. So, let's try to be enlightening and, who knows, be humorous, discussing the madness to which the human being is subject. Like it or not. When I chose this title, it was thinking that I didn't really read Freud, nor did I study psychology. But I've studied behavior and events for years. The only conclusion I came to is that everyone, somehow, needs to have a few more "percent" of their brain used. The only problem is that with so much to do and so much time to do nothing; using the brain becomes very tedious. Quite an arduous task, when you have so much to do and consequently; more fun. Warning: If something doesn't suit you, please; disregard. For here I will deal with many controversial things. Such as wanting to eat with a fork, in a kitchen that only has a spoon. Or expect money that the One who owes you has not yet received. Wash the car, and soon after, the rain comes. Another thing: If you don't like it, please justify your answer. But intelligently. If you like it, please justify your liking. And believe me, I am very happy knowing that I was useful in your life. Good reading.Complete
War or Love / Reich x Soviet
Reich gets caught in a snowstorm and is injured. But instead of treating him like a prisoner with no rights, Soviet Union decides to treat him more like a guest. In the process, he finds out about Rech's life and wants to give him the kindness and care he thinks he deserves. Unfortunately, other creatures don't find it so good. I translated my first story "War or Love" for the second time. The Book is from 2020. Further information: - It's a fictional story, with other events that are true, some things change because one event influenced the whole story - This was my first story - Blood - Violence - That means what the person is thinking (I rarely use it): < and > - I have Reading and spelling disabilityComplete
