Once upon a time I worked in a call center.
Doing collections.
Whoopee.
If you haven't ever wondered, or cared to wonder, what it might look like when a person with dyslexia works in a call center dealing with numbers, melting-pot names, and complicated verbiage...Well you may want to take a peek.. Inside this short book are 23 hilariously-true short stories.
But please, go ahead and enjoy a few laughs at my expense.

WARNING: CONTAINING AMOUNTS OF SASS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO MANKIND In the city of NYC--- Ok. Hold up. First of all, New York City. What, are ya gonna assume everyone here knows what NYC is? Anyway, this is about two people. I can almost hear you rolling your eyes. Another cliché teen fiction with a bad boy and a good girl? Nope. This is about superheroes. I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel! Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out? Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride. And if any of you got any of the references in this description, give yourself a pat on the back. That is a beautiful thing. And if you can name all the references in this book, you truly are a gift to mankind.

The Gift Of Love [A Compilation Of Short Romance Stories]||18+||
💡this is a collection of my Instagram romance short stories. ~Re-editing, publishing and writing more. [A Country Man] ....and the days had turned weeks and weeks into months and the following year drew in. A call from Vie had come in March. "We have a baby" she said "and a son" There was a pause on the other line. My heart pounded now "You have a flight to catch John" She said with a chuckle. I had no words, she knew and Vie laughed all along through my silence. [Aries] I nodded. I could swear by my brother's grave, I was dead listening now. "We've been watching you for a month now. Tomorrow is your birthday" I watched him stop and look at me. That message he wanted my eyes to tell, he did see because I couldn't believe that for the past four weeks, I've been under someone's eyes. "Don't get loud yet" Okay. A pre-information that was useful. "Please get to the point sir" He nodded slowly and just stared. I knew at that moment, the answer was coming "You're here for surrogacy and you happen to be the best DNA we could find in such short notice" HEADS UP HERE!! ~All them stories are mine. If you see it somewhere else that isn't Wattpad or my Instagram page, tell me!! ~I will write more scenes on stories that get more votes and comments.

Holly Garland on Santa's Lap [COMPLETE]
Once upon a time, I was your typical good girl, doing my job like a total elf star, no complaints. Even with the little "gift" I was born with (aka my disability), I handled life pretty well. But let me tell you, luck's never been my plus-one. What am I talking about? Oh, just my lovely name-and the Christmas curse that comes with it! Every year, without fail, while my family's out decking the halls, I'm over here getting snowed under with the worst disasters. So, yeah, all I want for Christmas is for this nightmare of a season to be over. But this year? Oh, I've really hit the Christmas tree topper. Ever since I plopped myself down on Santa's lap at my office party and made a special wish, it's been one yule disaster after another! And now, I'm stuck in this sleigh ride from hell with that red-suited nightmare, forced to follow him wherever he jingles. Sure, he might be a total angel under that fake beard-mysterious and all-but I'm not about to let myself get wrapped up like some Christmas present under the tree. My brain's still in one piece, thanks. So, seriously, sweet baby Jesus, how did a nice executive assistant like me end up sleighing through this wild holiday misadventure full of danger, romance, and all the holly jolly chaos of Christmas?!Complete

Love, Taylor | TS
Dear Rory, I'm sorry about what I said. I'm leaving for LA in two days. Can we talk before then, please? We can just drive around as usual. I don't know how to do this if you're upset with me. Call me please. I'm staying at my parents' house. Love, Taylor *** Aurora Taylor has been living her best life for the past ten years or so. She works for Odyssey, a travel magazine based in New York City, New York, where she gets to go on dozens of trips a year to the most beautiful corners on earth to write articles about her journey. When she's not travelling, she also dabbles in fiction writing, a little secret passion of hers only few people know about. When the pressure of her two jobs gets a little too hard to manage, she decided to take a week off in a beautiful town at the beach in Northern Italy. A week full of unadulterated fun and relaxation, with unlimited glasses of chilled Prosecco and gelato cones. Or, so she thought. Her plans are completely ruined when she runs into someone she never thought she would ever see again. Not in person at least. A ghost from her past. Taylor Swift. Thirteen years and the universe decides to throw them together in a random town in Italy. Taylor does not believe that it is a coincidence. Aurora is a little reluctant to believe it. But thirteen years is a hard number for Taylor to ignore and she is adamant on making things right with the writer who finds it hard to forgive and forget all that was said and done thirteen years ago. *** This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for real celebrities. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it!Complete

This story has no description because we are awesome like that. Any way, we are standardized closet & box traveling elfs. Laugh all you want. We don't want no trouble, we hit you with a shovel, many times watch out. We behind you! Jk! But we are watching you, forever! Seriously, just read the book, unless it's too... Odd for you. No prob if can't handle extreme awesomeness. No no, it's ok, you're just not awesome. We get it. Go find a sappy book that your mere mind for some reason enjoys. If you don't want to read this ridiculously long description than stop reading. ........ Oh, so you do want to keep reading? Than please, come in while I creepily stuff pies into your mouth while sitting in a cardboard box. But what ever you do, don't push the orange button that says: "Start Reading", Enjoy the book... (Muhahaha!)Complete

Gives us normal girls hope, hi hi!" - @LocalSlayer "This book is seriously my inspiration to not be afraid to show who I am." - @Who_Says_Duh "THAT IS SO ME!!!!! IS THIS SOME TYPE OF VOODOO, MAGICAL BOOK OR SOME SHIT?!?!" - @ThePanther10101. *** Let's face it, none of those cliché situations from movies between a guy and a girl ever happen in real life. I'm not going to end up accidentally bumping into my future husband in a café, spilling a latte over him. I'm not going to go up to some random stranger and ask him for directions and he'll become mesmerised by the colour of my eyes and fall in love with me. The window of my bedroom doesn't happen to be situated opposite to that of a 'bad boy neighbour'. I was daydreaming, again. Something I do on a daily basis. Nothing different, right? Well, let's just say I didn't snap out of my little 'trance' until I saw a guy waving frantically at me, smiling. Oh shit, he's hot. He probably thinks I was checking him out. Great, now he's coming over. Kill me. *** • Highest rankings: #1 in Modeling - #1 in Awkward - #3 in Humor.Complete
