Bruises of love ~
I turned to head toward the car when something smacked into my shoulder, sending me stumbling back against the door. "Oh, shit-sorry! I didn't see you there." I looked up to see a hand extended toward me. It belonged to a boy, maybe a year or two older. He had tousled brown hair, olive-green pants, and a cigarette hanging lazily from his lips. "Thanks," I muttered, shyly taking his hand as he pulled me upright. He bent down to grab a lighter that had fallen near my feet, flicking it open and lighting his cigarette without so much as looking at me. "You're new here, aren't you?"
A Year Around the Sun
"This is a story about our love. An intoxicating, fast-paced love that didn't think of time as a source of measurement over the course of a summer that changed my life forever. "A love that resembled a firework. It went up with a bang - outbursts of colors, sounds and emotion - but only out with a short fizzle. An outline of smoke, with the ashes on the ground as the only telltale sign that we actually had something." ~~~~~~~~~~ « further description inside » #2 IN YOUNG ADULT (2/20/20) #6 IN #SUMMER (4/8/19) #93 IN TEEN FICTION (3/25/18) #97 IN TEEN FICTION (3/22/18) #263 IN TEEN FICTION (3/6/18) #647 IN TEEN FICTION (2/23/18) #674 IN TEEN FICTION (2/20/18) #853 IN TEEN FICTION (2/18/18) (An Ex-Featured Wattpad Pick)Complete

Fanatic
The taste of his smoke made it hard to quit the taste of his tongue 🚬 Someone was sure! Yet was immune to all charms. Ego on both sides ruined the petels 🌻 Sometimes when you are feeling out of your normal state best to sit down for a moment - maybe it's because you have been surrounded by too many people all at once for the past couple of days or even for the past hour.🍒 There ain't nothing wrong with sitting alone for an hour, or two reflecting on what has been going on. 🌨️🥀, She needed a breather 😟 Wishing her soul would level up - she loved him in an almost un fathomed way. ~Mimi 🌌 Cover By @vhentiiComplete
Technicolor Beat
"It's like . . . you know how at the end of summer camp or college everyone packs all their stuff up and drives off before you so they can go home and reunite with family, and the whole camp is empty and you're standing in the middle of your vacant dorm because your ride isn't here yet?" ". . . Yeah?" "It's like that. Immortality is being left behind at camp alone, and you don't know why." She couldn't remember her name. Didn't really matter, plenty of substitutes available. They almost numbered the amount of years she'd been in this world. Luckily for her, there was one reason she was still here, and as soon as she figured out what the hell it was she could fix it and move on. He remembered her. And what she looked like, how she took her coffee, everything. He couldn't get her out of his head. She was his muse, a glimpse into the impossible where he may finally have something to write about. But what happens when inspiration turns into love, especially with someone who is unable to reciprocate it? Does tragedy or intimacy await them? What is destiny, really?
Not good for you
"This was just supposed to be summer fun. That was what we agreed on." I tried to talk to him as he was vigorously shaking his head, tearing his gaze away from me. "You were never just a summer fun to me." He stared into my eyes and I felt exposed because I might have developed some feelings for him that I've never wanted to face. Heddy Lopez has just barely graduated and is trying to find the purpose of her life when her friends take her away for the summer before they go on separate ways. Little did she know that an old crush and complicated relationships would cross her way again making her last high school summer completely different than she'd expected it to be. Secrets, heartbreaks, and empty promises siege her over and over again. And they never seem to stop. But how much an already broken heart could take before fully giving up?

Young and Hungry (Just Write it-2015)
I could feel her arms around me as the breeze swept over us leaving goosebumps in their wake. I could again smell the lakes water as it's soft smell envelopped us, overpowering her perfume only slightly. Through all of those wonderous senses only one stood out above all; the touch of her lips on mine. It was as if I was reliving all of it again. As if I could change how things had happened.. if we had stayed on the dock longer maybe.... if the photographer had asked to take more pictures then.... but it was no use. Thinking through every possible change I could have made wasn't going to bring her back. -------Complete
Forbidden Love
I watched the water drip down his nose and onto his beautiful full lips. I craved the warmth of his touch. The rush of our connection. Regardless of how wrong it would be. I couldn't resist it any longer. I stepped closer, covering the flush of his cheeks with my hands to feel their heat and pressed my lips firmly against his until it hurt. Dylan gripped my waist and pulled me into him, sealing the space between us. I secured my arms around his neck, brushing my fingers through his soft, luscious hair. I didn't allow anything else to matter. Not the voice that told me this was wrong. Not the guilt. Not the warning that crashed through my head. I pushed it all away and let the desperate craving take over.Complete
