Care to Command by TheBluntWeirdo

Office enemies fight for the same promotion, while resisting their growing chemistry. LAYLA masks her insecurities behind perfectionism. The goofy girl who loved flowers and cooking for her parents is now a workaholic and out of touch with herself. All she's able to focus on is to get promoted so that she has a chance to feel confident and earn her dad's long-awaited approval. LUCAS hides a heavy burden with charm and nonchalance. The boy who used to be nurturing and open now pretends to joke around without a care. What he doesn't share is that he might want that promotion to fulfill his own voids just like her. One thing leads to another, and the two find themselves in unprofessional settings where their masks slowly come off, showing how similar they are, and just how much they might need each other. "Loved this story. It had everything that makes a story amazing. Fuming hot chemistry. Believable flawed characters that changed and matured through chapters.

The Elementals; Fire by jaywillliamss

Layla's always had a fiery attitude, so what happens when something new begins to happen inside her that physically matches it? Desperate to keep her new found ability under wraps, she struggles to try and balance her mind and body, and adjust to her new life. It's especially hard when three new comers enter her life and really test her patience. ----------------------- "Luka what do you want? Can't you see you've already made me angry enough? Are you wanting for me to hit you or something?" He looked almost as frustrated as I felt, what did he have to feel like that? "You don't understand Layla, nothing's working" I shot him a look, what does he mean nothing is working? "You are literally trying to make me mad on purpose, why?" The fire inside me made the words come out harsher than I intended, but I decided I didn't care. He made me like this. "Because I want to help, but I need to make sure you're the right person" We stood silent for a few seconds, before the first part of his sentence registered in my head and I responded to it. "I don't need your help, I don't need any of your help" Luka snapped his head towards me, and a small laugh escaped from from his mouth. "Trust me, you do" ----------------------------- Layla is thrust into a new life consisting of pain, love and betrayal, and no matter how hard she tries, she won't ever be able to escape. COMPLETED

His Sunshine | ✓ by pink_flamingo_09

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves.

Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.

Cheater, Cheater (Editing) by KMSchuett

Layla: What is going on? My husband is divorcing me for cheating on him. I didn't cheat on him. At least, I don't think I did. I don't remember what happened on that night. I don't remember...... Charles: How the hell did this happen? How? I did everything right. I was faithful, I loved her, more than any other man could love his wife. How could she do this to me? How? I did everything right..... There are two sides to every story. This story is no different. Three kids, with no idea why their lives have changed so much. Two sides, a husband and wife. One marriage, destroyed by a night that has no memory. How will it all turn out? Only time will tell.
