Women, a beach, chances, and forevermore.
ASOTB 5: Caught In The Sands
Caught up in the past yet to be forgiven and forgotten, Bella found herself hated by Kijo, her best friend turned ex-best friend turned best friend's boy friend.
The heck does she care though. The feeling is mutual. She hates him too. Enough to write his name on the sands in contempt when they went to the beach.
Before it was washed away by the waves, however, Kijo who was in the same place as her, managed to get a glimpse of it.
Now the man assumed the woman he hates has something for him.
ASOTB 6: Stuck By The Shore
To be brutally honest, Sofia doesn't like the beach. It's only a matter of her relations finally working well that she felt the excitement when her friends invited her for a beach trip.
This is where she met Dallace because of a common friend. While Sofia's only looking forward to spending the rest of the stays with friends, Dallace, it seems, is looking forward to learning more about her.
Dallace could stay on the shore for her all he wants while her friends take a dip at the beach, but Sofia is not, at all, interested or impressed.
Especially not when in the three-day staycation on the beach resort, she already discerned he was too loud and too prying. And that's not the type she'll like to get stuck with.

a language only you know
A dance through time - past and present moments, and a look at the relationship of two girls, a trip to Barcelona, and promises made throughout their lives. -- "Well... It doesn't count that your touch lingers just a bit more on her waist when you're hugging her, right? And it's just simple friendship when you brush unruly strands of hair behind her ear and she blushes? Surely, it's platonic that you let your hands gently run over her back and her shoulder blades when she's asleep with you in bed? And, obviously, it's purely friendly behaviour when you pay for her tickets at the movies with a grin and a wave of your hand, and you spend more and more time alone with her, and for your free choice art assignment you painted her, and you stare at her for a bit too long to be just friends, and when people say the word 'home' your first thought isn't a place, but her (herherherherherher-she's everywhere)... You're doing okay, right?"Complete![All That Matters [COMPLETE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/36070538-256-k66579.jpg)
All That Matters [COMPLETE]

Liam finds himself with a buzzing social life that he never had before and of course, a beautiful girl living next door. Will the craziness of teenage life get in the way or will one shake be all it takes? *AUTHOR'S NOTE* I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to anyone who was waiting for me to take this story further. I feel like I hit a bit of a brick wall. I love this story, it was the first time I started writing for me and not for school. I was getting some major writer's block when it came to this story which felt weird because the creative juices had been flowing up to this point. I love this story and the characters and I finally realised that any writing I tried to force out would be really bad quality and that it could ruin the story. I do realise that this is very frustrating; I would be annoyed if someone did it to me. But I really think that in this case, less is more. I may come back to this story one day, but I make no promises. I feel like my time with Liam and Saskia has come to an end. They can enjoy their summer in peace! Basically, this is just a feel-good summer read, and I hope I've brought you some enjoyment at least. xx RomanceWriter2000 :)Complete
