It felt like fate was playing tricks on me, throwing me into a scene I never thought would become real. So that's just how he is with everyone-casual, effortless, like it's second nature for him to make someone feel special. He was just a gentleman-nothing else meant, nothing more. Everything was just a misunderstanding, nothing deeper than that.
But how do I unsee the way his eyes softened when he looked at me? How do I forget the way his laugh seemed just a little different when I was the one making him smile? The late-night messages, the way he always seemed to be there, the way he made me feel like I was special-was it really just in my head?
It hurts to want more when I have no right to, stuck in this casual thing where I can't ask for clarity, can't demand exclusivity, and can't even be upset-because we were never really something to begin with.
This is unrequited love, after all. No one believes it's mutual except for me, the fool who keeps holding onto something that was never there. I keep reading into every glance, every touch, every lingering moment, convincing myself it means something more. But it doesn't. It never did.
I should walk away. I know I should. But how do you walk away from something that was never really yours?

Waves of Ecstasy
T-thats why I changed my mind... You're not the person I should... It's uh... It's a mistake to come here. right?" I awkwardly laughed. He's just watching me. "So... forget everything I said-" I gasped when he pulled my hand. His face is near mine I can almost feel his hot breath. I can feel his body against mine. My heart started hammering my chest and I seemed to forget how to breathe. His other hand reached my face and it slowly traveled down my neck, to the sensitive part where my pulse is. I gasp when he adds pressure on it. His hand is big, warm and rough I can feel it against my soft skin. All I could do is not move. If I move I might touch his lips accidentally! So I dare not! I released a shaky breath realizing I've been holding it. "I'm not doing anything yet but look at you. And you're asking me... to teach you everything I know and have sex with you. I never knew you'd be this careless Daisy." He whispered. He stared at me and I couldn't read his eyes. I'm starting to feel dizzy. My senses are suddenly sensitive. He released me slowly. "Don't do something stupid. And don't mention this again... your brother will kill me."Complete

That I Would Be Good
"I'm not okay!" I yelled at him. "Okay?! I'm not okay." My chest rose up and down as I breathed heavily. It had been years since I had a break down, and I wasn't going to have one right now. "It's okay not to be okay," he whispered, walking closer to me. He caressed my cheek, trying to sooth me. I stared at him, pain filled my eyes. I was trying hard not to cry. I couldn't cry. That's not what I did. "It's okay to cry," he comforted. His eyes stared so hard into mine I felt like he was seeing into my soul. "Crying shows weakness, and I'm not weak," I told him, swallowing hard. "Sometimes crying is the strongest thing you can do. It just shows everyone else that you're just as human as they are." And right then and there I started sobbing. I had lost all control of my emotions, I cried like I hadn't since I was little. All those times I didn't cry when I wanted to poured out now.

©️ Original Story. I was acting. When I laughed... When I said I loved him... When I held his hand in front of everyone, When I laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes as if I were safe. He was acting too. When he whispered my name... When he held my waist in front of others... When he smiled at me like he was seeing something no one else could see. We both knew this was a fake relationship. An agreement, a deal, a shared play. But the problem is... Now, I don't know if I'm still acting or not. I don't know if I'm lying. I don't know if I'm fooling them... Or just fooling myself. So now I wonder: Am I doing this because it's my role... Or because I've started to want it for real? Are these my looks... Or the gaze of the character I'm playing? Did I fall for him... Or did I just grow tired of pretending? I feel at ease when he's near. Sometimes, I wish the play would never end. But does he feel the same way I do... Or is he simply better at pretending? When he placed his coat over my shoulders... When he stared at me under the pretense of thinking... When he held me when no one was watching... And whispered, "We're not alone." Did he mean what he said? Is he acting? Or is he just... too afraid to admit it? Too afraid to admit that he's started to feel something... That we've gone off-script And we are now writing scenes That never existed in the script. Maybe we don't really fall in love... Maybe we just slowly stop lying. So what happens at the end... When we can no longer tell When the lies began- And when they stopped?Complete
Manic Crush (Book #1 Crush Series)
Every girl has 'that' crush. You know what I'm talking about. The one boy who's the first thought on your mind when you wake up, and the last thought before you go to sleep. The one you carefully select your clothes for, don your best makeup, and style your hair perfectly for. I had 'that' crush. Brock was hot; he was sexy and alpha, with dark smoldering eyes and tattoos that littered his rock-hard body. My poor seventeen-year-old heart had no clue how to handle it, because my badass crush wasn't a boy. He was a man; a nightclub owning married man, who also happened to be my best friend's stepdad. I wasn't the only one who was crushing on Emma's stepdad. He knew it too, but the best part about Brock was that he looked like a badass, he acted like a badass, but he treated every single teenage girl in his home with the utmost respect. He had plenty of admirers, but Emma hated anyone who flaunted their shit in front of him. He'd taken her dad's place. He'd moved in not two months after she'd lost him and had tried to 'parent' her. We hated him together; but secretly I adored him. I spent almost three years in a hoodie, scowling at the hottest man in L.A. The day he left Emma's mom was the happiest and saddest day of my life. If you're going to lose your crush, though, ripping it off like a band-aid is the best way to do it. One day he was there and the next he was gone. And now, seven years later, I'm about to walk into his nightclub and audition for him. He's not the man I remember. He's sexier, more intense, and has connections that are not exactly as wholesome as I assumed. But that only makes me want him more....Complete
Ethereal Descent (Book One of The Ethereal Series)
"You can't possibly be okay with this," I motion to myself, "Me being a..a demon. It goes against everything you were raised to believe." "What I was forced to believe." Sam interjects, suddenly directly in front of me, caging me against the counter as I look up at him. When the fuck did he get there? Enhanced senses, my ass, Ves. "From what you told me, God is obviously real, along with Heaven and Hell. If my parents had raised me right, then I might have been appalled by the fact that you're a demon," His hazel eyes watch me, so much emotion swirling in his orbs causing chills to travel up my body, "But the fact that you, a demon, have shown more kindness to me than my own parents," his voice deepens as his head tilts slightly, "How bad could you possibly be?" I stand there motionless, lost for words. Am I drunk? Is he? I didn't drink that much. Then again it was half the bottle, but still I have more tolerance than that. It seems like every time I take a break from this man, he changes more and more. I don't know if it's actually his true personality or what, but I can never get out of this loop. Being too distracted with my thoughts, I fail to notice when Sam moves and his lips soon mold with mine in a kiss. And I kiss him back.Complete
Not The Plan
Okay so... I didn't mean to catch feelings. It started as a plan. A stupid one. Fake date the quiet guy. Make my ex jealous. Easy. Clean. No emotions. Dean Bennett wasn't supposed to matter. He's quiet, doesn't care what anyone thinks, and barely even talks to people. But he said yes. And suddenly, we're walking through the halls holding hands and pretending we're something we're not. But here's the thing: It doesn't feel fake anymore. Not when he looks at me like that. Not when I actually start wanting him to hold my hand. Now I don't know if I'm still trying to get my ex back... Or if I'm falling for the boy I never planned for. This wasn't supposed to happen. It was never part of the deal. But feelings? Yeah. They don't follow rules.Complete
