Everyone is carrying a story they'll never tell.
Some secrets bind you together.
Others tear you apart.
Normal is overrated
The pressure
The expectations
The pain
The rumors
The deep, dark secrets
The relationships
It's all hanging by a thread
A thread of hope perhaps
Wouldn't you like to know,
What exactly sets people on the edge

Sure Thing
Amelia Johnson has always kept her life under control - until the day she loses her father. Suddenly, she's left juggling responsibilities, emotions, and a quiet ache she can't seem to fix. The last person she expects to notice is Kyle Marshall - her longtime rival, the guy who's always had a smug grin and a snarky comment ready just for her. But now, Kyle's different. He shows up when she needs help. He doesn't push, doesn't ask for anything in return - and it leaves Amelia more confused than comforted. Kyle doesn't understand it either. He just knows that for the first time, he wants to be there for her, even if he can't explain why.

Too Good to Be Real
She felt his warm palm on her wrist and at once she was facing him. Without warning, his lips engulfed hers, setting her on fire just like she did him. His lips were warm and soft and she revelled in it as she shut her eyes, her body instantly warming up to the kiss. She wrapped her arms around him, marvelling at how their bodies fit perfectly together. It felt so good, like her head was rotating. Nothing else mattered. Just the two of them. This was all she needed. Someone who accepted her for her. Her flaws, her beauty, herself, hook line and sinker. She withdrew reluctantly, angry she had to stop the kiss and also afraid someone had seen them. As she stared into his eager eyes, she knew she loved him but she couldn't help thinking she was doing the wrong thing. She loved him, but it wasn't fair to his girl. She could do anything, run, apologise, but she followed her heart. She drew him back and continued the kiss. A Nigerian themed story bound to leave you yearning for the next chapter.Complete
