Fear is stupid. So are regrets. - Marilyn Monroe
Samantha Rose Garcia has been struggling in coming to the office on time for the past three months. She was once an employee of the month but recent events affected her work lifestyle.
She was fired by her boss and got transferred to another department under a person that she did not expect to meet. Alexander James Brent was the worst but the best part of Sam’s life but he’s indifferent now and she knew she made him that way.
It was a second chance to make everything’s right. She knew he was worth it and she will cling to her treasured memories.
“I know we have been through a lot and you seemed want to give up. Please don’t. I know we can last forever if you want.” Then he giggles. It melted my heart. He sounded happy. My eyes burn with tears and I let it fall. I let myself savor the moment he’s happy and the uttered sweetness on this recording. “From the bottom of my heart, I love you even if it cut so deep. I’ll be a masochist for you. Happy birthday Sam.”
However, unexpected incidents happened along the way. Will she continue to pursue AJ or will she just let him run away?

Coerced
It is rightly said and often proved by the proverb, man proposes and God disposes. What happens when everything seems to go well and a day arises in your life that within a heartbeat the fate comes crashing down at your feet turning your destiny to an utter catastrophe? What happens when the only girl you LOVE in this world and next starts to HATE you for an action you aren't even responsible for and you can do nothing about it except to keep your hands folded? What happens when you lose everything in your life including your family within a matter of seconds just because of a single ignorant move? It just cost me a blink of an eye and my life gyrated into bits and pieces because of a dopey move under the influence of sedation and sex. I am Shannon Clandevis, CEO of Clandevis Group of Industries, one of the top billionaires of the United States. People seek me with praising annotations but they are ignorant about an important veracity. I am a love struck bovine with a vacuous soul and secrets buried deep under the ground.

The quiet between us
You're staring again," he murmured without looking up. "I'm not," I said, even though we both knew I was. He turned his head slightly, those blue eyes flicking toward me - calm, calculating, and just a little amused. "Then stop memorizing my face." "Maybe I'm just trying to figure you out." "Good luck," he said quietly. "I haven't even figured myself out yet." Naomi didn't mean to notice him - the quiet boy who spoke like every word cost him something, whose hands looked like they'd learned to hold both violence and tenderness in the same breath. But Samuel Kings had a gravity to him, the kind that pulled you in before you even realized you were falling. His twin, Samantha, was the opposite - sharp, poised, and frighteningly still. She didn't speak unless necessary, and when she did, it was like a scalpel - clean, precise, and leaving a mark. "Emotions are a weakness," she told Naomi once . "Then why do you look sad every time he smiles?" Naomi asked. Samantha's gaze lingered for a moment too long before she turned away. "Because I know how it ends." The Kings twins arrived like a storm no one saw coming. They were beautiful, strange, and impossible to ignore. And for Naomi - the scholarship girl just trying to survive another session - they changed everything. One moment she was laughing with her best friend under the sun, and the next she was standing in the rain, realizing her heart had started keeping time with his. You make everything complicated," she whispered. "You make everything matter," he replied. But beneath the quiet smiles and the charged glances, there were secrets - The kings weren't running from trouble; trouble followed them like a shadow. "You can't save me, Naomi." "Then I'll stay with you until you save yourself." "You shouldn't." "I already did." Because some people don't just change your story; they rewrite it entirely. He was ink, she was light. Together they left star shaped like constellations
Lets Make Mistakes (GirlxGirl)
"You're nicer when drunk" I state looking ahead. "You don't know me" she replies dryly. "Neither do you but look where we are now" I murmur starting the car. "Who doesn't know you? You've literally fucked every girl in school... Oh sorry, city." Her words catch me by surprise because she's not shown any signs of knowing me or my reputation. I scoff a laugh, kind of proud of my legacy "Nice." "What's so funny?" I look over at her a grin on my face. She doesn't smile back. "What? You want me to fuck you?" I tease but she still doesn't smile back. "I don't want to be fucked by a walking STD thank you very much." Well ouch. The nerve to say that in her polite posh accent. "That actually hurt Sparks" I wince "But don't worry I'm not interested in you in that kind of way either, you're not my type" I lie. I've been drooling over her since I saw her. "I'm surprised a whore like you would have a type" she shoots back and I have to fight my jaw from falling. I don't want to give her a reaction. "Holy shit Sparks, you kiss your mother with that mouth?" I chuckle and she rolls her eyes. ** Cainine also known as Alison is used to running away from her problems the only two ways she knows how to, drugs and sex until she's knocked back to reality with a girl who does things differently.
