To Love Asher Cole
Asher Cole could be more interested in a rock than Oakleigh Keating. And yet, Oakleigh could not be more interested in Asher. Oakleigh Keating has had a crush on Asher Cole, a close friend of hers, since before she could remember. Yeah, Oakleigh and every other girl that's ever met him. Star football player, criminally good looks and a panty melting smile? It's no wonder. But despite spending years trying to get him to notice her, Asher only seems to see Oakleigh as his little sister's friend or someone to tease or laugh at. But after seventeen years of hopefully pining after a boy who couldn't care less, Oakleigh decides it's time to grow up. Leave Asher Cole in the dust and move onto bigger and better things - like the Royal Albert Hall. Like her career as a ballerina. Like getting skinnier. Like the promise she made to her father. The answer is simple: Forget Asher Cole. So why can't she get this damn boy out of her head? --- TW: The main character of this book suffers from an undiagnosed eating disorder.

STAY , Don't Go! (COMPLETED) ✔
Aesha, a senior college student at Henderson Phoenix University, faced adversity from a tender age, having lost her parents when she was young. Raised by her grandmother, she learned independence early in life. Sadly, her grandmother passed away when she was only ten years old, further shaping her resilient character. Despite her challenges, Aesha excelled academically and found employment in the university's publishing department. Additionally, she worked part-time at Andromeda Bar, a popular establishment in their town, to support herself. Her life took an unexpected turn when she crossed paths with four renowned individuals at her university. These chance encounters unraveled past events and intertwined their destinies in ways they couldn't foresee. Love, to Aesha, was more than just an emotion; it was a conscious decision, a battle against the odds, encompassing both pain and beauty. For her, loving someone meant embracing forgiveness and, sometimes, letting them go. However, when confronted with the prospect of letting Alexander, one of the four men, depart, Aesha found herself grappling with conflicting emotions. "Alexander, please stay. Don't go," she pleaded, torn between holding on and setting him free. All rights reserved.

And if that's not bad enough, her partner, Natsu Dragneel, is loose and relaxed, the complete opposite of her demanding and hard-working self. As Lucy's world starts falling apart, she must accept the cold, hard truth or face the consequences of fate she herself can't control. * * * Copyright © 2016 WriterOfAwesome & ofthefeels 711 in FanfictionComplete
