I was fully aware that what I was doing went against what my brain was screaming at me to do, but it was human instinct. When your heart takes over, you forget that you even have a brain and it makes you do stupid things that you'll only regret later on. The heart was a complicated organ and I wondered whether or not it was just used for pumping blood around our bodies.


It started at one party, like it didn't actually mean much at the time. He was standing alone: I was surrounded by drunken idiots so it sounded perfect, didn't it? Even if I messed up, I could have just blamed it on the atmosphere and flicked it off. Simple as that.


I had to find him again. I had to get to know him, see if we were compatible. Like, if our pieces fit together. I mean, he was too good looking to not want to go after. He was friendly and although not perfect, he seemed it to me at the time.


Florence Daniels embarks on her quest to win Joey's heart. He's sneaky, mysterious and gets on her nerves. But what if another guy came into the picture too? What would that do to her?


Will she actually end up in love with Joey? What will their final decision be?

I Blame Wattpad for My High Expectations of Men by authornn2018
86 parts Complete Mature
She wanted to test a theory. He wanted to win a bet. What could possibly go wrong? ------------------------------------------------- Why was this shit so much easier in the books?! The Macy Anderson in me would spit out the alternatives to every curse word known to man. The Ruby Buchannan in me would knee him in the groin. The Mia Hastings in me would lunge at him first, taking him on that table right there and now. The Haley Geller in me would confuse the fuck out of him by asking way too many questions. Hell! Even the Tessa Young in me would do something, like beg him to come at me with her desperate but wild ass... But the Lola Dino in me -aka the me, me- just stands there frozen, contemplating a very important decision in her head: fuck, fuck, fuck! Who do I act as next?! Um, how about yourself for a change? My conscience decides NOW to be a smartass. Yeah, right? Like that's ever worked before. Not even having the slightest clue of what to do, I wait for him to make the first move instead, and then I'll just go from there. So, I wait. And I wait. And I wait. And I wait. I wait as we remain staring at one another -I like a deer in headlights and he like a predator stalking his prey- for what seems like forever. But when his ripped, muscular frame finally charges at me, his strong tattooed hand instantly meeting the back of my head, he crashes my lips onto his so forcefully that I'm now just left with one thought and one thought only: Lola Dino, what the hell did you just get yourself into? ------------------------------------------------- *WARNING: Contains mature content including language, sex, violence, and drugs.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️ by geekiechicforall13
21 parts Complete Mature
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016

If I cannot be loved I'll be wanted. "There was basically nothing that the scientists had not altered and played with, changed it's appearance or structure. Directed electricity through it to made it move or to restart a heart, by using machines and generators. The difference was that the Gifted only needed some power of will." "The air in the rooms had grown heavier and hotter, Eliza couldn't breathe. She stood outside the bathroom, in the corner, where the hallway opened to the huge living room where the party was the most alive. Someone had gotten up to the coffee table and was dancing themselves to death. In the middle of the floor there was a honey blond boy with pearls around his neck and five people glued to him, unbuttoning his shirt, kissing his collarbone. " The weight of being expected to do great things had dragged Eliza and Kal down their whole lives. Whilst trying to find comfort to their hurt they manage to unravel truths that were hidden for a reason. And when every hand around you is soaked with unknown blood, who can you trust? The Scientist is the first book out of three to tell this story of young love, power, morality and madness. WARNING!
