"Even from a distance, Nixon Young has an aura of maturity. The way he carries himself, the rolled back of his shoulders, his tall and confident posture, the lazy way his eyes skim his surroundings- it's hard to explain and to formulate into words, but it just shows. All of Nixon Young screams maturity. 

It's hard to believe this is the guy that tied a live goat to a pole in the gymnasium."

Chantelle Géroux thought people like Nixon Young only existed in books and movies. Ever since freshmen year, stories about the legendary Nixon have circulated throughout the student body. Stories about his glorious escape from the cops, of the time he stole a car and promptly almost crashed it, of how he had jumped from one roof of a house to another during a crazy party. For the last three years at Princeton High, Chantelle had listened to the stories, even if they were painfully exaggerated, in awe. She spared small glances at Nixon, taking in his confident smile and loud voice, his blue eyes that sparkled like no others, and tried to understand. Understand how one person could stir such talk among such an easily-distracted group of teenagers. 

But Chantelle knew how: Nixon Young was simply extraordinary, in a way that simply couldn't be understood. 

But then junior year came around. Two years of stories full of fascinated stories turn into heated whispers in the hall. Looks of awe when he walks by turn into hurried avoidance. Nixon's easy-going smiles turn into scowls, his fist making a dent in the lockers as he lashes out once more on someone. Nixon Young's personality does a complete 180 degree turn, and no one has any idea why. Eventually, Nixon Young is nowhere to be seen. 

Until he turns up at Chantelle's doorstep, three weeks after he got kicked out of Princeton High, asking for one hell of a favor.

"I want to capture this moment and save it forever." He looked at her, watching the way her cheeks flushed a deep red as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "You're breathtaking. You have no idea how gorgeous you are, do you?" His voice was a low whisper, sending shivers down her spine. She tried to hide her smile but failed. Slowly, he leaned in, his breath warm against her neck. "Would you like me to make you feel good?" Her heart raced as she nodded, barely able to speak. His hands moved down her legs, teasing her, building anticipation. She leaned back, letting herself get lost in the moment, her mind swirling with the intoxicating sensations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Garcia is doing the best she can to get back on her feet along with her 17 year old son.

9 years after the wedding, things weren't so bad for the Stone family, but it also wasn't peaches and rainbows either. A lot has changed over the years, some that could've been controlled and other's not so much. Life has always been pretty easy for the almost 18-year-old Reign Stone. With her twin, Kaari constantly by her side and always wanting to be the Pam to her Gina, Reign was wondering how life would be outside of her best friend. Their birthday was slowly approaching which meant a lot of changes for the two but mostly Reign. She wanted to find herself outside of her twin but that would be hard to do especially with the way their father and uncles raised them. Ava Amari Stone; 12 going on 13 and the most talented little firecracker ever. Dance, art, fashion, makeup, and cooking were just some of her hidden gems, but she had a thing for building any and everything from scratch; a habit she's developed from her father. She wasn't your ordinary teenager, she enjoyed animé, crime shows, mystery movies, and even corny romantic comedies but her specialty was Kairo. Her right-hand man, her best friend, and second set of ears. They were like two peas in a pod but reminded Renae so much of her and Dajon. With growth comes trials and with trials comes blessings, not everyone is meant to tag along when you make it. Sometimes you outgrow or have to let them go, but through the younger Stones eyes, take a look at just how different things were back when their parents were in the game to now... ©️ _jasthewriter 2020
How to Stay Out of Prison: A Modern-Day Woman's Guide by meclayton2016
28 parts Complete Mature
What do you get when lack of sleep turns you into a raving lunatic? The most embarrassing moment of your life. Lyrical Lyrical Rodgers lives a simple life. She manages a pet store, has a fantastic family, a great best friend (you only need one), and lives in the apartment of her dreams. Well, the dreams she can afford. The only dark spot in her rather happy life is her new neighbor. He's a jackass, parties all night, and has no regard for anyone other than himself. He's also sleeping with the building manager, so he's no help. Nixon Nixon St. James is successful, wealthy, good-looking, and comes from a great family. On paper, he's a fantastic catch. In person, he could benefit from a semester-or two-at charm school. A prominent architect and real estate developer, Nixon has it all...uh, his temper notwithstanding. Apart from his penchant for going off the rails every now and again, Nixon really has no complaints. When jumping to the wrong conclusion does its thing... After Lyrical unleashes weeks of sleep-deprived anger on her new neighbor, she heads over to her best friend's apartment (one floor above hers) and tells her all about it. However, as she goes into further detail, it starts to become clear that she may have cussed out the wrong person. After Nixon gets the verbal lashing of his life, he's not sure which issue to address first. How does he convince the angry spitfire that he's not gay, not straight pretending to be gay, or not gay and having an affair with his brother? I mean, he's been accused of a lot of things in life, but this? This is crazy. Good times. NOTE: This book contains adult language, adult situations, explicit sexual encounters, and an imaginary trip to Minneapolis. If sensitive to any of the aforementioned issues, please do not purchase.

✬ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 & 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 ✬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.
