ذهب كذبة أبريل: الجزء الأول

ANNIE♦I place the gold medallion in my hand, holding it like the prized possession it is. It fills my entire palm, and its metallic, tetragonal outline is wonderfully cool against my skin. I lightly run my index finger over the intricate details of the emblem, feeling the tiny ridges and furrows embedded in it like I always do. I’ve probably examined the thing a million times now, and every single time I see it, I can’t get over how beautiful it is. I think now I’m starting to see why… اقرأ أكثر

Spring Break A Leg: Ch. 3 (A Contemporary New Adult Romance)

Oh, Christ, not him! Anyone but him. Mason Gabehart is the absolute last person on Earth I want to see or deal with right now. Heck, I’d be over the moon if I never had to see his obnoxious jerk face ever again. And yet, there he stands, almost twenty feet away looking right at me, forcing me to acknowledge his unwanted presence. God, this day just keeps getting better and better.

A New Year’s Eve Kiss: Ch. 3 (A Holiday Romance)

A New Year’s Eve Kiss: Ch. 2 (A Holiday Romance)

“Hello?!” Mel’s voice blasts through the speaker, making me wince as my eardrum takes a hit.    I cover my other ear, trying to block out the surrounding noise and chaos.   “M-Mel?” I stutter, my teeth clattering as another gust of icy wind blows over me. “W-where the hell are you guys?”   She pauses for a bit before answering. “I don’t really know,” she says. “Where the hell are you, Peggy? We were all together and next thing I know, you and Dustin are gone!”   “Wait, he’s not with you?”… اقرأ أكثر
