The Booth In The Back

"You used to be able to buy a lot with ¢25 and Mama says there are a lot of people out there who would view that quarter as a miracle.  Odie would be as happy as a clam with that quarter; he'd make me take him to the grocery store so that he could put it into the little gum ball machine and get himself a little treat.  But-and I feel guilty about this, I do, because of all those really bad off people in the world- at the end of the day, after all of those long hours of work and torment and running to and fro, when I open up the little check book and see he only left me a  ¢25 tip (AGAIN) I feel so angry I almost want to kill him."

Carolina Mathers is a genuinely good person.  She works hard, tries not to complain too much and takes care of everyone around her.  Her Mama's dying, with not too much time left, her older brother "Odie" has the mental capacity of a six year old, her friend Kendra is a single mother completely and utterly unlucky in love, Redford, the only person in the male species actually willing to talk to her, got mugged and beaten to a pulp and Alexandar Corona is back in town causing her trouble and only leaving her a quarter for all her hard work.  She's the girl with too much ambition and far too much disappointment.

He never thought he'd ever come back to this small, one horse town, but his mother died and someone needed to take care of his kid brother.  Alexandar never thought he'd find himself back in Lola's dinner eating his Italian meatball sandwich and drinking his three and a half cups of coffee, but there he is and he certainly isn't happy about it.

"Jess, would you please get his order." Lisa winked at me and pointed the guy near the door. She is my one and only bestfriend since kindergarten. "Okay." I wore my waitress apron and put my phone and car keys on the pocket. I dragged myself to the guy's table to get his order. "Good Morning, Sir. Can I take your order?" The guy put the menu down on the table and he's checking me out! Jerk. "I'll just have the waitress in front me. Name your price." He winked at me. "Jerk!" I got the glass of water from the other table and poured it from his head to his pants so that it looked like that he'd pee on it and I stormed out from the restaurant. Who does he think he is?!? --------------------------------------------------- Jessica is the only child of the highest tax payers in the country and belong to the top 5 richest persons in the world. Her parents own a hundred of five star restaurant chains and hotel & casinos in the country and a hundred more around the world. Her parents love and protect her so much because they don't want publicity for their daughter. They want their daughter to have her private life. Jessica doesn't want other people to know that she's the daughter of the richest couple in the country but of course almost everyone knows about it. She wants to have a simple life. One thing about Jessica is that, she hates guys because she was 'only' cheated and used by four guys already. They used her money and these four guys, she'll see them again at school and that bothers her so much. She don't feel love or hurt from guys anymore. Her heart is numb. It feels nothing. For guys. These four guys made Jessica a cold and heartless person. Heartless only for guys but she's really a sweet girl once you get to know her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can a playboy jerk turns a cold and heartless girl, who hates guys back to her sweet old self?

**WATTPAD & INKITT ARE MY ONLY PUBLISHING PLATFORMS. IF YOU SEE MY BOOKS ANYWHERE ELSE, PLEASE REPORT THEM!!** Savannah Marshall was a kind loving person who would do anything for anyone. But when the one person she wished never to see again begs her in the middle of the street like a maniac for her help, as much as she wanted to refuse, she would rather save herself from the public embarrassment and had no choice to shut him up and agree. Hayes Calloway, Savannah's ex boyfriend needed her help in helping saving his company, Calloway & Sons Enterprise's. A company that had been passed down through the family for many generations. Even at the age of 25, his father thought he was too immature and not ready to take on such a big role in managing a whole company on his own, as all he would do is sleep around and never settle down with the right woman like his mother had wished. So until he was able to prove to them he was more than capable than being mature and standing to completely fulfil his role, his parents, more so his father, threatened to put him on suspension from the company. For this happening, Hayes turns to an old "friend" and the amounts of begging Hayes laid on Savannah, she agrees and helps him out. But what happens when old feelings return and connections reignite? Are they able to maintain themselves from another heartbreak? Do they get that happy ending they both wished for? Can they restore what they had and get closure? Or does it all come crashing down in the end? Take a look into the lives of Hayes and Savannah to uncover hidden truths, mixed emotions and a whirlwind of dramatic events. (CONTAINS SEXUAL REFERENCES & MORE.) (RELEASED ON INKITT.) No.1 in #misses Start Date: March 9th, 2020 End Date: June 2nd, 2020

Want to hit the dance floor again? He has the biggest smile on his face, I have to smile with him. Excuse me, I want to cut in. My eyes get as big as saucers. I dont want to dance with a stranger, even if he is so damn cute. I dont think so, my lady and I are spending the night together. Wow Charley is acting all protective, I havent seen this side of him before. I didnt ask you. I am telling you. This guy is being a jerk. He takes my hand and pulls me toward him. I surprised myself and shoved him back, knocking him off balance for a minute. I am not dancing with you sir, I am dancing with my friend and dont touch me like that. The look on this guys face was one that could kill. You do as you are told, and you will dance with me. Youre funny, because I dont do what you want, I do what I want. He tries to grab me again, this time Charley steps in between the two of us. The lady said no and that is the end of it. Charley looks at me to see if I am okay when this idiot punches him in the face. What is wrong with you? I help Charley off the floor to find he is bleeding out of his mouth. You have some growing up to do whoever you are. Come on Ill get you some ice. No, you will dance with me and that is final. Go to hell with your attitude! There are a lot of girls here, find one of them that want to dance with you. You are dancing with me now. He gabs me for the second time, I am getting pissed. He needs to learn a lesson. In one swift movement I make a fist and punch him right in the face. You will not touch me, that is final. You are feisty, but you are not strong enough to stop me. One more time he reaches for me, he wont learn. I take his arm roughly and shove it away from me. Giving him a look of disgust. Charley lets go home now please. We were leaving as fast as we could when who gets in the way? The man from the store.

"I didn't fucking blow the light, asshole! You did!" "I did not!" he shouts, getting right in my face. "How old are you anyways? Three?" "No! You're acting like a fucking two year old! Just own up to your goddamn mistake!" "I didn't make a mistake, you cunt! You did!" "Fuck you, dick! I didn't do anything!" "How fucking old are you?" he hisses, his lips inches from mine. "I'll be fucking twenty one tomorrow, fucker, how about you, huh? How old are you? Thirty? Forty?" "Twenty fucking two." he hisses. "Now pay up!" he puts his hand out. <><> Alyssa is your regular girl with perfect looks. Luke is your hot bad boy asshole. When you push the two together, two things can happen. One, they can click, or two, they can crash. And it won't be hard to wonder if he's a Devil or an Angel.
