More Than Just Friends
Carla and Royce have been best friends since high school - ever since the day he stood up for her against a group of bullies. From that moment, their friendship became unshakable. They were inseparable through exams, heartbreaks, and dreams that changed over time. Now, at twenty-eight, life looks different. Carla is a hardworking office employee - smart, loyal, and a little rough around the edges. Her tomboy charm hides the scars left by her past; an abusive father taught her to be wary of love, to equate romance with pain. So, she never dated. She laughs, she teases, she lives - but she never lets anyone in. Royce, meanwhile, has become the embodiment of success - young, rich, and handsome, having built his own IT company from the ground up. He's dated a few women, but no relationship lasts long. What no one knows - least of all Carla - is that every date was an attempt to forget her. Every breakup, a reminder that he never could. Their friendship remains the one constant in both their lives - built on trust, laughter, and years of unspoken care. But as they grow older, the lines begin to blur. A casual touch lingers too long. A jealous pang sneaks in when someone else flirts. And when Carla faces a personal crisis that forces her to confront the fears she's buried for years, Royce has to decide - does he keep being her best friend, or risk it all to be something more? Because loving Carla means being patient. It means breaking through walls she doesn't even realize she built. And for Carla, learning to love Royce back means learning that not every man becomes his father.
All I Know
Sometimes love is more about the learning curves than the fairytale "Happily Ever After". Because often the world shows us how unkind it can be, how the notion of "good things happen to bad people' actually breathes true. Good people are often the ones with the most scars and disappointments but even with those battle wounds, they are still willing to pursue love. Sometimes it is the people that have been hurt the most, who love the hardest and are intentional in their love. So as hard and painful as these experiences are, these are the chapters that build you, remove the rose-colored glasses from your eyes, and present you with reality... you can choose to harden or to soften to the standards of this world. Follow David and Amelia on their journey, in the most unconventional of places and it changes the way they view the world forever. All events in this book are fictional. Some instances such as events and characters may be based on real life but nothing is 100% factual.

"So what do you suppose we do about that?" I eyed his lips and sucked in my own. "Well, you're the first girl that I don't see as a one-time thing so it's not like we do it once and I can just let you go." He said. "Maybe you won't have to." I proposed. "We're both obviously not into a relationship right now, and that's why I think it would be best to keep it physical in that sense and we wouldn't damage our friendship because there was never a relationship to squash it." ******************************************************* With the inability to trust the male population, Sofia Vincenti goes into college with the thought that she would be strictly focusing on school...for a little bit anyway.
