Love After You
Jessica's stomach fluttered, her gaze dropping to his lips then back up again. "I always hated my hair colour growing up." She observed, why did people bully you for being ginger? It was such a weird thing to bully someone for. He shook his head, as though he couldn't believe what she said. "Why?" "Kids are cruel." "Kids are idiots. Your hair is.... inspiring." "Inspiring?" She questioned. "Poets should write about your hair." His finger curled around the strand he was toying with, and the world seemed to melt away. "It catches the light sometimes, like a flame. It's so..." Their eyes meet. And Jess takes in the way his breathing deepens, the way he licks his lips. She steps even closer, basically pressing herself into his arms. "It's so...?" She asks, begging for him to continue. "Beautiful." He breathes. *** Falling in love with your bestfriends girl is never easy. You want her. Crave her.

LEFT HAND
This is my very first... thing ever published. A story that is frankly likely to be boring for most people, but only those who won't have enough heart to detect deep emotions that personally pushed me to finally let you read it, hiding all alone between the lines and the little unconscious humor that Simon transmits to us by letting us dive into his head... It's about loneliness, sadness, regrets, relationships, love... Feelings. Some more confusing than others, some more violent than others, some more forbidden than others... But all as sincere as every line of this short story. I won't say more; I'll let you discover this... thing. Thanks in advance for clicking on LEFT HAND, and I hope you'll like it. I'm sure that right now you're somewhere quiet, relaxed and convinced that you know who you are, who your friends are, or the people closest to you... What they are going through, what is going on in their heads... I was like you... But I was wrong. °°°°° ⚠ Warning ⚠️ The story you are about to immerse yourself in is not fiction.

And this is what I did, after exactly a year of trying to move forward and get going, I'm writing a story. Our true story. Not just for me, but also for those people who are lossing hope and faith in love. This story is made for those who also experienced being in love with their Mr. Almost. I pray that one day, God will lead us to Mr. Right.Complete
