"Okay I think I know this one. Zephyr means wind doesn't it?"
"West winds. That's me." He confirms before sliding back underneath the car to continue fixing the engine.
"Why? Did your parents intend to name you after the west winds?" I bite my lip, watching him squint at his work. His nimble fingers work quickly and a soft smile graces my face; this is something that he loves to do.
"I don't think they knew." He admits sheepishly, sliding back out and sitting up to look at me. A smudge of black grease lines his cheekbones and my eyes linger there for a second.
"My turn to guess. They named you after the plant because flowers and shit are the epitome of beauty." He drawls, grinning.
"Rosemary means dew of the sea idiot. I'm not a flower, remember?" I snort.
"So, you're rain?"
"Yep, that's me. We're the wind and the rain huh?" I swing my legs casually. He shoots me an endearing smile.
"Bring on the hurricane." He winks. I squeal and he races at me with fingers smudged with black.

Rosemary Oaks is an adult in an eighteen year old's body, or so they say. Supporting a broken family and struggling to pave her own way in the small world of Cardiff, Wales, Rosemary is expecting her final year of sixth form to be void of colour and just another obstacle to overcome.
Zephyr Corrado has got a lot on his plate. A looming secret hangs over his head everyday and his facade is falling apart. Year thirteen isn't turning out to be as black and white as he expected as Zephyr fights his anxiety and attempts to figure out what he really wants.
They didn't have an extraordinary first meeting. They didn't have all the words to say and the time to give.
But when the wind and the rain meet, they can't help but create a storm.

[BxB] Waking up next to someone after having a little too much to drink was no new, riveting story in this day and age. Waking up next to another boy, when you were also a boy, was a little more interesting, but still nothing to write home about. But waking up in Nico Beckett's sheets? To Wesley, it was a nightmare come to life. ~~~ Wesley Dillon's life was uneventful, and frankly, he liked it that way. He didn't get into trouble, he kept his grades up, he played it safe. He never did anything to rock the boat he was floating in, the calm waters of his lake left undisturbed. Now starting his last year in high school, Wes was content to continue living his life as he always has - but sometimes, and only sometimes, he caught himself wishing that something could make ripples in his tiny world. What he wasn't ready for were the waves that were Nico Beckett - a troublemaker, womaniser, and an incredibly popular boy at his school. He was everything Wes was not. Nico was the type of guy that Wes never wanted to associate with, but after waking up in his arms with panic in his chest and pains everywhere else, he realised that his life was going to get much, much more complicated. It took him everything to try not to drown as the waves pulled him further and further down. But, somewhere along the way, he wasn't sure that drowning was actually a bad thing. ~~~ #1 in romance (29/09/19) #1 in LGBT (07/09/2019) #1 in bxb (07/09/2019) #1 in boyxboy (08/09/2019) #1 in gay (11/09/2019) #1 in highschool (29/09/19) #1 in school (17/10/19) #1 in comingofage (01/10/19) #1 in slowburn (02/10/19) #1 in BL (04/10/19) #1 in lovetriangle (05/10/19) #1 in family (31/10/19) #1 in comingoutofthecloset (08/01/20) #1 in writtenwithpride (19/06/21) #4 in love (07/03/21)Complete
Sailing With Destiny
"Do you have any idea how damn frustrating you are?" He trapped me between him and the wall. Stubbornly, I looked squarely at him, "You say this like it's news to you." He pursed his lips, clenched his jaw, and stared at me with darkened eyes before he closed the gap between us. I stared at him squarely as I felt his body heat radiated off me, my lips parted and my breathing picked up a notch. He placed one hand on the wall and brought his lips an inch away from mine as the other hand trailed up my arms, "I am going to make you feel my frustration." I ran my finger along his jaw and dared him with my eyes, "I'm Mila," I grinned, "You can try but we both know you won't succeed." He ran his thumb over my bottom lip, "Don't take my love for you as weakness," he stated and captured my lips with a fiery kiss.

His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm)
The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do."
