This was the first night on my own.

I'd been through my basic training, you’d be surprised that a cleaner with twenty years’ experience would need basic training but you’d be wrong.
Health and safety, chemical mixing and long winded ramblings on how dangerous chemicals should never be mixed all added up to a days’ worth of fun and free coffee with no extra pay for the bus fare there.

ROSES AND RUIN by Nef_3rtiti

"I've had enough of your games," He growled, sending an involuntary shiver up my spine. "For the last time, who... the fuck... are you?" The demand had his voice dropping a pitch lower with each word and it suddenly got harder to breathe. A ripple of anxiety began a slow crawl up my spine, and I moistened my lips. "I- I'm Willow, Julie's girlfriend?" Why was I nervous all of a sudden? "Again with this shit, I don't care who the fuck your little girlfriend is. What do you want?" ~•~•~•~ Following her father's passing, Willow Macomber and her family were plunged into the harsh realities of poverty, where they struggled to make ends meet while burdened with debt. Saddled with a neglectful mother consumed by addiction and betrayed by a world that preyed on the vulnerable, Willow's once fragile heart hardened over time, leading her to develop a deep mistrust of men and seek solace with a woman who offered the love and security she longed for. Unbeknownst to Willow, Julie's deception poses a grave threat, entangling her in a complex web of deceit. Enter Dorian Wilhelm-White: ruthless, self-absorbed, volatile, and strikingly handsome, Dorian embodies everything Willow despises. Yet from their very first encounter, she was his, whether she liked it or not; and against his better judgment, Dorian is drawn to her fierce defiance with a passion. Sparks fly despite their stark differences, and attraction, unlike anything before simmers beneath the surface of their anger and suspicion. However, Dorian harbors his own darkness, and Willow soon comes to realize that giving in to him may come at a steep price... But is it one she's ready to pay?

Gingerbread Latte by pumpkinyara

I had a plan; Go to college, have sex and years later become a doctor. Easy and simple, right? Yeah, well that was the idea until a family secret came out and flipped my whole world upside down. Fast forward to an accident and a kidney transplant later, I have no clue who I am or what I want anymore. That's when she came tumbling into my life; a red-headed stranger on the hospital's rooftop, she dragged me right off the edge, stopping me from jumping when I totally wasn't about to, thought my parents are homosexual and refused to tell me her name...I mean, isn't that how epic romance stories start? Yeah, but we have a big problem here; she is totally resistant to my charm. She dislikes me, doesn't trust me, and thinks of me like any other jock on campus. Her rejection and disinterest are filling me with the need to prove her wrong. A deal strikes; hours of tutoring sessions and gingerbread lattes are bound to show her who I really am. Her story, I want it. Her trust, I'll gain it. But as I do so, I must tread carefully, because like they say, too much ginger could cause a heartburn; and my heart, it definitely can't bear another ache.

Ghost Perfume | ✔ by natalisghosts

In a world where the dead linger, one girl holds the key to helping them cross over. But Rose's quiet life is shattered when four mysterious brothers arrive with a dark secret. As tensions rise and some ghosts prove more dangerous than others, the brothers only want to keep her safe. Can she trust them, or will the secrets between them be her undoing? And will she ever be able to break through their masks? **COMPLETE** My death notebook was out. I surreptitiously slid it into my backpack. He offered me the cards. "Pick a game, Rose?" "Um." They looked at me. "How about cheat?" "Never heard of it," Alexander said, collapsing to sit on the floor with his back to my bed. Gabriel sat cross-legged. "Show us," he said. I knelt to complete the circle, taking out the cards and shuffling them. Alexander snorted and snatched the cards out of my hands to shuffle them himself. "I got it, drunk girl." "I am not," I said, tugging on the cards. My fingers tangled with his. He let them go. I distributed the cards among us, my hair swinging as I leaned forward to give them their share. I tucked it behind my ears. They watched me quietly. I could hear the party outside my room, a muffled shouting beat, but we were safe in my room.

Unpredictable (completed) by Angels-Books-

Brush my teeth, get dressed, go to school and do homework. That's what my life was about, occasionally going to parties. But when a new kid comes to school and turns your world upside down, your best friend turning into your enemy. And me, turning into something that isn't exactly human.

Impotent Death: A Paranormal Mystery by organicorganism

"It wasn't me, it was the ghost. That's the whole point!" she shouted. "Fine. But let's do it again. Just to make sure." I wasn't ready to admit there was a ghost talking to my sister. In 1933, Robyn Weller, a young interior designer, was murdered in cold blood by her husband's closest friend. 79 years later, a sixteen-year-old girl named Makayla Moore moves into the killer's mansion with her family. All is well, until Makayla's little sister claims to have close communication with a spirit that's been haunting the house for several decades. The two sisters discover secrets about the house and about the past that no one has ever dared believe. Will they successfully expose ancient lies? Or will an unseen enemy silence them first? ***This story is completely my original work. The characters and events that take place are fictional.*** ***This story contains no swearing or immature content.***

New Reality by Dance_4life1309

Running. That's the most important word in your life if you're like us. Have you ever heard of New Moon Academy? Until a few weeks ago, I didn't know what those words meant either. But now, they are my life. Being one of us is dangerous. So if you can't handle danger, you might not want to read this. You can continue living your normal life. Not everyone is cut out for what you're about to read. I'm just a teenager, but I have superpowers. Here at the academy, we train hard to learn how to control our powers and remain alert. The worst part is that we have to keep our powers a secret. You can never be sure who might be listening to your conversation. But to me, it's all worth it. My name is Bethany. Welcome to New Moon Academy, a place where ordinary teenagers with extraordinary abilities come to train.

Charade by Mmaharraninp

I knew it wouldn't be long before, everything would be exposed. And I was pretty prepared for that moment, especially with the presence of a girl who I knew what her background was. I'm not stupid not to accept the girl on purpose, I know and deliberately accept and get her involved in my case and seem to be a lifesaver for everyone around her. Perhaps now this letter is also in the hands of the girl. I'll tell you a little story here. I'll tell you everything, lest you think that Sarah is the one who hurts the most here and you make me a selfish and accomplished sinner.

"As I reach the front door I can't help the same question swimming around in my mind, what could possibly be on all of those tapes?" ----- Preview: "You wanna try and be my medicine Abby?" he asks with a deep testing tone, keeping his voice quiet. "I can try" I breathe out as I gulp when his grip tightens "Try me" His hand slides up my throat, his long fingers wrapping tight around my jaw "That's what you really want?" I nod, as I sigh out a shallow yes, and I see every muscle in his body tense, as he wets his lips; hoarsely murmuring his next sentence like its his last try at making me change my mind. "I'm dangerous Abby, this is your last chance, tried to warn you" My stomach twists and knots, as I use every ounce of bravery I have. "Prove it then" ----- Book Started : DEC 2018 - COMPLETED MAY 2019
