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.)

Sure Thing
[𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄] 𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐍 𝐉𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 30 Months... Almost three years since my accident. My first game playing pro in the NHL and I blew it. Many people have tried to help me but I'm past giving a fuck now. I just want to be left alone to drink my sorrows away. It's clear I'm never going to play pro again, so why do people continue to push me towards getting help? I don't want it. Until I do. All she has to do is whisper, "It's simply a setback. Which means you come back stronger." 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 30 Months... Almost three years since everything in my life changed. I've loved, I've lost, and yet I still have some light in my life. I've been fighting for so long that I don't know the difference now. I thought my career was over. My fear of men completely debilitates me from doing what I have always dreamed of. Until him. All he has to do is scowl at me and knock my son over. With strengths and weaknesses being put to the test, it will take everything in them not to crumble from the pressure. After all, too much weight and the ice will crack. And if the ice cracks, they will have to question if their love is a sure thing. *This is an interconnected Standalone therefore you don't have to read the first book however characters have already been introduced.

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
Twice Two
She was born to be a star. Only one thing remained - to win Drag Race. But what happens when a rival appears on her path to glory - talented, determined... and the one she falls in love with? In a world where victory is worth more than feelings, she must make the impossible choice: between the dream she's lived for and the one who makes her heart race. Notes: The main characters are cisgender men. Their drag names and feminine pronouns are used in the text to convey the atmosphere and spirit of drag culture. Originally written in Russian and later dragged - quite literally - into English. Since English isn't my first language, a couple of chaotic little mistakes might appear. Don't worry, sweetie, they're just doing their own lip-sync. If you'd like to see the original performance, it's right here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/404185985-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B4%D1%8B-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B5 Mirage continues her adventures in a separate story: https://www.wattpad.com/story/406884009-untucked-but-not-unfuckedComplete
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
Black & White
A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!

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![Arrivederci || Dan Heng [✓ ] (Re-uploaded up to chapter 20)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/392965095-256-k847963.jpg)
