I pound on the door in hopes of getting whoever it was making all this noise's attention. Instead, a woman in her late 30's to early 40's answers the door with a look of sympathy.
"I am so sorry for the ruckus. I have told him to not play his drums after 9 but he won't listen to me." My neighbor says sighing. "Feel free to give him a piece of your mind. Maybe he will listen to you." She grumbles making me laugh slightly. "I am Rosanne Michaels by the way. You must be the daughter I have been hearing so much about." Mrs. Michaels greets making me smile.
"Yes, my mother does tend to brag about me." I say with a laugh. "I'm Ava; Ava Moore." I greet back as I step into the house.
"Like I said, you are welcome to give him a piece of your mind. His room is up the stairs, last door on the right." She says smiling. As soon as she gave the word, I was up the stairs and banging on his door. It takes a few seconds but then the boy who was keeping me up opens the door.

I'm With The Band [completed]
...except I'm not. Not anymore. Not since I left four months ago in the middle of the night, after sleeping with my husband's best friend. That my husband is the lead singer of Euphoric -- yeah, bet you didn't know Mal had a secret wife! -- and his best friend is Big, the drummer, just means this sh*t's gotten complicated. If you're asking yourself why the hell I would cheat on Mal, even with Big, well... maybe I should introduce you to some groupies that Mal knows, and you can ask them. I left, but Big tracked me down, and now Angus, Nick, and Drew know where I am too. And let's not forget about Mal. Believe me, no one can forget about Mal. ~oOo~ This is an original short(-ish) story, a reverse harem rock star romance. If we want to get technical, it could also be considered a second-chance and friends-to-lovers story as well. I like to cover all my bases. HEA guaranteed. Not appropriate for anyone under 18 years of age. If swearing bothers you, this is not the story for you. No musicians were harmed in the making of this story. There are references to self-harm and cutting. This is an original work of fiction, all characters and the story are mine. All rights reserved. Copyright ©2018 by V.E.S. PullenComplete

Manic Crush (Book #1 Crush Series)
Every girl has 'that' crush. You know what I'm talking about. The one boy who's the first thought on your mind when you wake up, and the last thought before you go to sleep. The one you carefully select your clothes for, don your best makeup, and style your hair perfectly for. I had 'that' crush. Brock was hot; he was sexy and alpha, with dark smoldering eyes and tattoos that littered his rock-hard body. My poor seventeen-year-old heart had no clue how to handle it, because my badass crush wasn't a boy. He was a man; a nightclub owning married man, who also happened to be my best friend's stepdad. I wasn't the only one who was crushing on Emma's stepdad. He knew it too, but the best part about Brock was that he looked like a badass, he acted like a badass, but he treated every single teenage girl in his home with the utmost respect. He had plenty of admirers, but Emma hated anyone who flaunted their shit in front of him. He'd taken her dad's place. He'd moved in not two months after she'd lost him and had tried to 'parent' her. We hated him together; but secretly I adored him. I spent almost three years in a hoodie, scowling at the hottest man in L.A. The day he left Emma's mom was the happiest and saddest day of my life. If you're going to lose your crush, though, ripping it off like a band-aid is the best way to do it. One day he was there and the next he was gone. And now, seven years later, I'm about to walk into his nightclub and audition for him. He's not the man I remember. He's sexier, more intense, and has connections that are not exactly as wholesome as I assumed. But that only makes me want him more....Complete
New Beginnings
"No! I don't wanna hear a damn thing you gotta say. You betrayed me!" I said as I snatched my arm away and stormed out without turning back. I got into my car and looked at the scratch in the mirror. As Monte trailed behind me, I quickly pulled out the parking lot and sped home. When I got home, the neighbor was outside on the porch again. He waved, but I couldn't find the strength to wave back and ran into the house before I completely broke down. As soon as I closed the door, I slid to the floor and cried my eyes out. About 5 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I stayed where I was, thinking it was Monte outside. "Miss?" I heard from the other side of the door. I got up and tried to get myself together the best way I could at the moment and looked out the peep hole. It was the neighbor.Complete
I wished for a Boyfriend not a Girlfriend (GxG, Lesbian) °editing°
I was awakened by a buzz, but I don't want to get up, instead I lay still on my bed and about to dream again when I heard a THUD, I flinched at the sound. It's Saturday so I'm not expecting anyone at this early in the morning. I'm not a morning person, I am now annoyed to whoever it is. "Coming!" I yelled and started walking which took me sometime because I literally took my time, don't blame me I'm still sleepy, I opened the door to see a very beautiful woman, she has long wavy hair, thick eyelashes and pink pout lips and lastly... a body to die for. I frowned when I realized a high-school student? I can say because she's wearing a uniform. What is a beautiful high-school girl doing here knocking at my door? I asked mentally. I was about to ask her when she suddenly slipped inside my condo and sit on the couch cozily, I crossed my arms and face her still frowning. "Miss what are you doing here? What do you need?" I asked her curiously. She looked at me and smiled, a smile that can make men drool, but I'm not because I'm still annoyed. "I am your girlfriend" she said sweetly, my eyes widened in shock, I know I'm drunk last night but I don't remember having a girlfriend. I was about to say something when she stood up and face me leaning so much closer that were inches apart. "You wished for me, last night on the internet" oh crap! Now I remember! I was browsing the net when a certain ad captures my attention. "But I wished for a BOYFRIEND! Not a Girlfriend!!?" How do you handle a situation where there's NO REFUND and NO EXCHANGE?

"Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!"
