"I'm sorry. I still wish that I contacted you sooner, but I've been very busy.

Sincerely 
Your father, Jonathan Lowe. "


My cheeks flushed red in anger. My tear stained eyes were stinging from trying to claw their way out. I felt hurt. I felt betrayed. I felt used. My own father left my mother and I to fend for ourselves. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Um. Yes, Hi, is this that guy from the coffee shop?"  I said awkwardly.

"Yes, uh, why do you ask?" 

"Actually, you wrote me a message? Told me you wanted to get to know me?" I said kind of shaky, man I was so nervous. 

"Oh, you're the sweet girl that comes in for a few minutes and then takes off, so I barely get a chance to say more to you." He says, as if he was bummed about me not staying for long. 

"I am, I guess, always gotta run. Tight schedule. My assignment's due tomorrow morning." 

While Kate struggles with her strained relationship of her father, she meets Tom along the way, and starts to fall for him, but is it too dangerous letting a stranger get too close to her with her troubled past?? That's something Kate is bound to find out eventually. Will it all come crashing down? Or will she receive that happy ending  she had always wanted?

Josh and Katie have been best friends since he first moved nextdoor midway through freshman year. They were attached to the hip and acted like they've known each other for years. Josh Parker was the all American boy who all the girls wanted, including Katie. As Katie and Josh's friendship blossomed she quickly formed a crush on Josh, but as the years progressed, her crush turned into love. Five years after leaving Miami brokenhearted after finding out about Josh's engagement to his childhood sweetheart. Katie unexpectedly reunites with her former best friend, and Josh quickly realizes that his feelings for her are not just platonic anymore. * As I'm walking out of work I get a call from my brother to pick my niece up from school. For the past 4 years that little girl has had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic on the way over so I'm late for pick up. Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool. As soon as I looked into those Caribbean blue that I used to know so well, I knew it was her. It takes her a few seconds to realize who I am. She stands there stunned. We continue to stare at each other until she breaks the silence. "Josh?" She asks not believing it's actually me. "Hey Katie girl."

A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling. Once upon a time, there was a boy in love with a Lilly. Not a flower, but a girl. It all started one beautiful autumn day. One autumn day that would change the boy's life forever. For on this day, he met Lilly, a beautiful girl with an ugly secret. A secret that threatens to destroy her if she cannot find a way to break the curse forced upon her. Filled with secrets, lies, and love, this short story captures the essence of the original fairy tale with an entirely new twist. ~~~ "Hello, my name is Lilly. What's yours? Is that your mother? I only just came to live here with Ivy, and I don't know many people that come to visit her yet. Do you come often? If you do, we could be friends! Would you like that? To be friends? Why, don't you speak at all? And you should really close your mouth; it is impolite to stare like that." Ivy called out to her from the doorway of the cottage. "Lilly, if you want him to speak, you must first cease speaking." Both of the women were laughing at the children, and Lilly blushed at the comment. "Sorry! I just haven't seen anyone my age yet, and I got excited, which happens rather easily. It reminds me a bit of puppies I've read about that just get so excited that they- oops. I'm doing it again. Sorry," she said with a shy smile. Adam, who had been standing there staring, just as she had pointed out, finally found his voice long enough to tell her his name. She beamed at him, saying that they would be great friends. She seized his hand and began tugging him toward the woods behind the cottage, shouting to Ivy and his mother, "We won't go far! Be back soon!" ~~~

[Book1] They broke apart once... but love refused to let go. Because of some trouble, two paths collided. Anton didn't know that being an accidental and rushed escort of Jo during her 18th birthday, will bring him so much unexpected happiness. Being an NGSB, he didn't know how to navigate his feelings. From a little crush to something deeper after knowing Jo. Jo was oblivious to his feelings at first as she was really focused on her studies. But when Anton clumsily acted out on his feelings for her, can she really help not to fall for him as well? But when the two were ready to go to the next step, they stumbled upon a force that would leave a stain on their relationship. They might have to take it and fight for their way, or leave it and just forget about everything. "Jo, I-I can't. Please don't push me away. I... " love you so much. Anton begged, wanted to tell her how much he loves her, how much she means to him. But he knows, once he drops those 3 words, he won't be able to salvage whatever is left of them at the moment anymore. Why did it came to this? "Jo..." a tear fell. He watched as she turned her back, walked away and never looked back. Is this it? But just like they say, when you're destined to meet someone, whatever happens along the way, you're still bound to be together in the end. "Yes! I loved you, Anton! And I still do! I've loved you the moment... t-the moment you told me... my smile is pretty. The m-moment-" Jo was cut off and yelped when Anton grabbed her waist and kissed her. A kiss that tells how much he missed her all these years. How much he longed for this moment all his life. "Then don't go. Stay, please. Let's fight for this. Lemme fight for us, baby." Anton rasply begged after that searing kiss. His forehead on her, arms around her, holding her captive with a promise of not letting her go ever again no matter what.

14+ COMPLETED!! romantic short story "Loni, please." His voice is so gentle and so longing, I weaken. Swallowing, I finally dare meet his gaze. My fear of disappointment vanishes. "Please say something." "You made me feel special and loved one minute and the next I don't even know if you're alive." "I..I just really needed time and space to figure out you and me and us. " He gently strokes my arm and feel myself weakening by every touch. Right now, I want him more than ever. "Have you gotten it all figured out?" I ask him breathlessly. "Not all of it, but I couldn't stand another second away from you." "Good answer." I lean in and our lips touch. I've missed this, I've missed him. The past weeks have been so confusing for me. Thomas suddenly stopped calling and texting me. He wouldn't answer my calls and texts. I felt used and stupid. Like maybe Steven was right. What was I thinking? I was never really good enough for him. But right now, I know Thomas means what he said. "You wanna get out of here?"Thomas whispers breathlessly, our foreheads leaning on each other. There's something sexy in his voice, something edgy. "Yes, please." (In the editing process :D)h
