Everyone has one. That one, incredible, terrifying, undeniable morning. That morning when you wake with a snap and realize that you need something more. That morning when you realize that you want to see the world. And so you begin researching hotel ratings in Rome.

          Everyone has one. That one,  unimaginable, exhausting, hollow heartbreak. That first night you spend alone and in tears, because you realize that despite everything you did that keep it together, that perfect romance is gone. Melted away. And so you think about disappearing to Greece until the pain melts away too.

          Everyone has one. That one, indescribable, completely impractical, incredible dream. That one dream that everyone tells you is just that. A dream. Something meant to turn to smoke and slip right past. But all the same, that one almost tangible dream is a dream that you have to chase. And so you decide to commit. And so you decide to hop a plane and fly after your dreams.

          And so, one way or another,  you find yourself taking your seat, strapping yourself and waiting for the "Prepare for Take off" that means the start of the rest of your life.All Rights Reserved

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.

The Last Day (book 4) by discodivamaro

Hello there, remember me? The girl who faced probably every catastrophe ever to happen; I mean if I lost my sanity I have a perfect excuse. Probably excuses too; big foots for one, then doomsday, then my damn alter ego. Have I mentioned the bizarre dreams of a blue eyed dazzling guy are haunting me? What if I tell you that my last adventure is the most absurd one of all? I mean it is one thing to lie about your past love life and another to lie about the damn past of an entire planet. Am I right? Little have I known about Casus; little have I known about anything. Everyone is keeping secrets that are revealed now. Ones enough to make me go to the loony house; I mean what on earth drove, probably everyone I know to lie. You and I are gonna find out now. XOXO, Alex Saviyer

Mistress by Artemisia738

" I am pregnant," I said timidly caressing my flat belly hoping that he will be happy hearing the news. After all, he is going to be a father. He said chewing the food," Abort it." He said it so usually like it's the obvious thing to say at this situation. My eyes get watered immediately. I said crying," It's my first baby. I want to give birth to this baby." "I have told my decision already. You can never have my baby," He said finishing his food. " Why can't I have it? please, let me have it, I replied tightening my hold on my belly. He said banging his palm on the table," You will not listen like that." Saying that he dragged me towards the staircase and said creepily almost pushing me on the stairs," Just one push and the result will be same. Mistresses are for pleasure not for bearing children. So, don't forget your place." Meher, an 18 year old teenager wanted nothing but a happy family. But, her life turned upside down when she became an wealthy man's mistress. Why did she agree to be an wealthy man's mistress? Is it money or something else? Warning - Mature content. ***Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Create your own work. Don't copy other's hard work."

Earning my Wings: A Mormon Woman's Journey to Marine Corps Aviator by JanineSpendlove

I wrote this book primarily for my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, great-great-great… well, you get my drift. Having not yet completed my service to the United States Marine Corps, I thought it would be a bit presumptuous to pen my memoirs. That said, my family and friends have always enjoyed hearing my flight stories. So, I dug out some of my old journals and decided that I’d give an accounting of my flight school adventures. This is by no means representative of everyone’s time in Naval Flight School—this was just my personal experience and point of view on things. So, if you’d like to find out how a Utah girl who’d never given any thought to becoming a pilot before, much less touched the controls of the plane, ended up earning her wings of gold, read on. Semper Fly, Janine K. Spendlove ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ From my journal, dated 3 March 2002 On Monday something crazy happened. We were flying our Form Solo. I was “lead” so I named our flight “Vader” flight, cool eh? So anyway I was flying us out to the area (2F) & as soon as I leveled us off @ 6500ft I noticed my oil pressure was dropping. This is bad because if it drops too low your propeller will feather & your plane becomes a glider—basically your engine is worthless. I stayed calm & let my flight instructor know about my problem. The instructor in the chase plane sent my wing home & followed me down & made my radio calls for me while I executed my emergency landing at Brewton field. My landing was ugly—but I was nervous. I didn’t break anything & I’m alive. ☺

INSATIABLE by Dara57

He brought his hands up and tucked my hair behind my ear. coming closer to my ear "Do i arouse you?" he whispered, making my knees weak "I can feel the heat radiating off you and i know you are soaking wet already" What the hell? Pushing him off me i straightened up and glared at him "You are now my boss starting tomorrow and i dont think it is appropriate to use comments like that with an employee." He suddenly jammed on the elevator emergency button, causing the elevator to stop. "Really? That would make this more exciting and easier. "I am attracted to you, you are attracted to me. Lets fuck and be fine" I stared at him wide eyed Has this man gone mad? I admit that he is hot and affects me a little but that doesn't mean i want to jump into bed with him, he is my boss for crying out loud and i really need this job" He was now standing in front of me with his face close to mine staring at my lips. I want to kiss you" He whispered making me feel chills all over my body. ***************************************************** Blake Greyson wasn't born with a silver spoon but he worked all his life to get to the top.

COURSE CORRECT by TracyClarkTLC

Every day, you're headed somewhere and a mistake that many people make is in NOT asking: Am I headed in a direction I really want to go? I believe you know that in some aspects of your life, you're off course and you want help getting on track. You don't have to feel lost or frustrated anymore and you don't have to navigate the path to change alone. In fact, you're not alone. I'm right here with you as your Pilot in Command and I'm so excited to take this journey with you. Course Correction began as a way to get my own life on track to where I truly wanted to go. It worked for me and I'm going to share with you exactly what I did. You're going to learn how to:  Get crystal clear about your desired destination.  Assess the areas where you are currently off-course, and then...  MAP out a plan to chart a course toward fulfilling your goals and dreams The best part, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. This program is designed to be personalized, with the aim of helping YOU navigate toward your personal goals and your unique highest potential. Each and every one of us has a vision of our very best self and our very best life and I believe there's a reason for that. Beyond the details like what you do for a living, what professional letters or labels you put next to your name, what you create, or who you love, you are here to express the highest vision of who you are. That is your true calling. Very often, unhappiness is due to the gulf between who we are and who we most want to be. In doing this course, you narrow that gulf and feel the sense of pride and accomplishment of working toward your true happiness. The modules are designed to take you step-by-step through this program and I've included lots of fun bonuses and extras to help you. Your success is going to be greatly determined by your engagement and commitment to doing the work. But you're ready to fly, aren't you?

Paper planes by kylajada16

It all started with a paper plane... _______________________________________________________ "You.... you shouldn't do that.. carter.. dont-" I stuttered as he came closer and closer to me. "Don't what.. do this.. don't come closer, I'm practically 5 cm away Aurora Zoey Jacobs " . Well he's actually 4.8 cm , but whose counting any way.. He called me by my name, Aurora Zoey Jacobs not snowy not rose,not doll face , he never calls me my real name, and now it kinda hurts. " You see Aurora, you need to stop being so.. clueless, I can't believe you really don't realize.." he said slowly his familiar lavender scent tickling my nose. God can his scent not make me wana kiss him more? "Realize what?" I say. "That I'm so ... FUCKING in love with you.. if you can't understand that then ,let me put it in clearer terms" he says while I can feel his lips coming nearer and nearer. " I. LOVE.U". My Brown eyes were filled with shock, he loves me?..... _______________________________________________________ So u might be saying " oh.. this is some crappy cliche " Well sorry to burst your bubble but.... it isn't. It's about a girl that has hope that her mom's alive . It's about a boy that lost hope in everything. Until they met each other. And then it all changes. He starts to be her everything, and him her life. Add a bit of comedy ,best friends, dads, parties ,virgin's, and a crazy twin sisters and you've got the wildest book ever . But you know whats even wilder. ..... It all began with a paper plane.

An Endless Day by Kavya_2712

"Alright, it's 12 noon. Deal or not?" I couldn't look at him, so I stared at the beauty in front of me. Somehow I knew he was watching it too. I felt like we were characters of a famous story, standing side by side, gazing ahead. I hesitated, my heart was beating fast, I was almost afraid that he's going to hear it too. But for the first time in my life, I trusted my heart and told my brain to go to hell. The girl lead in this story was going to do what she wanted, and won't fear the consequences. "Let's do this." I said and turned towards him. We remained silent for a couple of moments, absorbing the meaning of the deal we just agreed to. And then I saw his lips turned upwards just enough for me to notice. He turned to me and held my hand. I felt several emotions just by touching him. Nervousness, excitement, fear, happiness all at once. I pushed them all aside, and smiled ear to ear. He held his hand up, counting down to three, my heart racing with every finger he raised. And just as he finished, we jumped off the cliff.

Love At First Flight (Short Story) by Once_a_Hawk

Have you ever just looked around in a room full of people and suddenly someone caught your eye. When you studied that person from afar, or up close, watching their mannerisms and personality, you just couldn't help but feel like, "He/She could be the one." (Hannah Montana reference) The person that you're meant to be with. The person God, or fate, chose for you to be your soulmate. You could literally meet them anywhere at any time in any situation, and you'd instantly feel a connection that draws you to want to learn more about them and be someone important to them. Now think about all the thousands of people who travel through an international airport in one day. Wouldn't it make sense if two complete strangers were able to meet each other in an airport and turn out to be soulmates?
