Frustrated at work, Ava heads to her local park every lunch break for peace and quiet. The canopy of the large oak becomes her sanctuary, until one day she finds another person in her spot.
Chase figured the only way he could get her attention was to sit right under her nose. Ava captivated him. Why did she sit under that tree every day? Why not any other tree in the park. and why did she always have that frown on her face? He had to find out what she'd look like with a smile.
This is a short story that I wrote for a local competition that has now closed.

Moments that define us
I can remember the fear of the tree falling in front of my car, after it was struck by lightning. I can remember how it felt, cold rain on a summer afternoon pounded on my skin as I stepped out of my car. I was headed home to my parents house after graduating college. I remember the security I felt when he showed up, and told me everything would be okay, and to stay in my car. I remember the rain stopping and him getting to work removing the tree. I remember when his gray eyes looked into my green ones, as he woke me up to tell me it was clear. I remember my heart never beat the same after him.Concluida
A Love Beyond Names
How did we get to this? Or rather, when? After you, I realized that time, circumstances, or simply us, because we are not perfect beings, but we try to be the best version of ourselves day by day, can be destined to be together and last as long as we are willing. Nostalgia flooded my body when I passed by our quiet, lonely, and green park, the one that welcomed us when we were together, just you and me. I saw that old, worn-out bench sitting empty; it was impossible not to remember the afternoons we spent there, laughing, dreaming, enjoying each other's company. From the moment I saw you that coincidental day, I knew that love had finally arrived in my life, and I will continue to stand by your side as your wife until my body can no longer go on.Concluida
Roman, I Love You
~Completed~ "Why are you being so shy?" He whispered. "I've seen, kissed, tasted every inch of your body. There is nothing to hide." I averted my eyes feeling heat in my cheeks and hoping that he could not feel it under his fingers. He made a frustrated noise then ducked down and pressed a kiss to the base of my jaw. The fingers previously on my cheek were now tilting my head back. "Scarlett Summer," he said into my ear, "sometimes you are the most infuriating person I have ever met." "I'm sorry." I whispered. "God, why are you apologizing? It is me who should be sorry for all of the unspeakable thoughts in my mind pertaining to you. You know I was not kidding when I said I was a dominating person. I know you've experienced it first-hand. I'm too rough with you I know that. You're just so, so breakable." He whispered the last part in my ear with so much behind it. "Sometimes I think I want to break you. Just shatter you into tiny pieces." His voice was shaky as he made his confession. "Do it then." I challenged with guile, devoid of self-preservation. ********************************************************************************* Scarlett has got some issues to say the least. She lives her life in her past and she is always waiting to die. There are a few things she enjoys, like her family, but even they are a compilation of bad memories and sore spots of her past.

Getting Chased
Ava DeMarc believes in luck, so purely it would seem she's obsessed. But really, all she wants is a small omen to help her through. She's been an alcoholic since before she could legally drink, which leaves her with a slew of one night stands and sadness.

The moment he sees Ava, he is sure he wants her. He's never seen someone so kind, so friendly, and he automatically turns up the charm. But he has no idea what a mess he's jumping into. •<>•<>•<>•<>•<>• Excerpt- Truthfully, I'd love to give Sam a chance. He seems so genuine, it really hurts to turn him down on the bumpy coast of a dirty subway. But, honestly, how can I devote myself to someone when I don't even care for who I am? How can I love another without loving the person inside me first? I can't. "Sorry, Sam. I'm going to have to pass." He just grins like he won't take no for an answer, settling into the seat beside me. I enunciate my words. "I said pass. Like, a hard pass." His eyes twinkle in uncovered amusement, and when he opens his mouth, I know it's far from over.Concluida
