Love Stories

"Does it say you're not allowed to have fun in the bible?" "No," "Then what's the matter, Em?" she said, dragging her finger down my chest, pausing at the first button of my shirt. "What you are referring to is a sin. A deadly sin," "A sin you've committed before," "A sin I've apologized for," "A sin you can apologize for again," she whispered against my lips, the softness reaching my senses, causing a moment of uncertainty. "A sin with great rewards," she said, her lips skimming over my jaw, towards my ear, where she licked the shell, her voice echoing in my head, as she placed a light kiss on my neck. My breath hitched, my hand slightly tightening on her hip... "You're not putting up much of a fight, Emrys. Why's that?" ****** Emrys Ruel is a 27-year-old man whose changed his life for the better.

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . . After her mother's deportation last year, all Soledad "Sol" Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything's changed-new apartment, new school, new family dynamic-and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college's history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray's oldest house and steal . . . a fork? There's just one problem: while the owners of the house aren't home, their grandson Ethan is, and when he catches Sol with her hand in the kitchen drawer, she barely escapes with the fork intact. This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn't as important as being yourself-even if that's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

"Ina lebe seromo." This is a Setswana proverb that means: you are your name. Your name is your destiny, it is who you become, and it is you. Batswana, like most if not all Africans, understand that your name defines your fate. That your name shapes your life, thus for most Africans names bear deep meanings. I grew up believing the proverb. My granny would sometimes say, "Neilwe be careful what name you give your child, a child's name maps out the path their life will take." Young, naive me used to believe she was right, Boitumelo changed that. ______________________ Boitumelo Such a beautiful name, Setswana for happiness. I guess her parents thought she would bring happiness into their lives and everyone she interacted with or maybe they hoped she would have a happy life. Unfortunately her parents missed the ball with that name. They should have named her Tears, or maybe Pain. To be honest, her life story is not one filled with the happiness her parents had in mind. Hers is one filled with all the things people pray their lives have none of. ____________________ How could someone whose parents only envisioned happiness for them, be cursed with such pain? How could love turn to hate so fast? Maybe it is true that the very same thing we love is the one that kills us. ____________________ If you're looking for an easy read filled with mushy stuff and a million clichés, this is not the right book. If you're looking to read something different from your average wattpad books, then feel free to read on. Please be warned. This story deals with domestic violence and abuse, so there may be some unsettling parts in the book. Be warned.
