V Ch. 3: (A Valentine’s Day Paranormal Romance)

خوارق

Oh, my gosh…I can’t believe he remembered! It’s quite an unexpected, but very pleasant surprise. The fact that he remembered that today is my birthday, even though I probably only mentioned it in passing a while ago, makes my heart flutter more than it probably should, but I don’t care. I’m happy. Considering my extremely mundane and painfully predictable birthday history—with today being no exception—there’s no way I can take his thoughtfulness for granted. Still, I’m not about to tell him that everyone in my real life would much rather… اقرأ أكثر

Oh, my God… It’s him! hey, stranger  🙂  It’s only two words, and just a step above a generic ‘hello’, but I’m beyond ecstatic at seeing another message from him, especially after over two weeks of nothing. I never imagined I’d be this glad to see that strange AF smiley avatar on my screen. I realize I’m a lot happier that he’s contacting me than I thought I would be, and probably a lot happier than I should be. My mood instantly changes, and the gloomy cloud that’s been hovering… اقرأ أكثر

"هل أنت متأكد من أنك ستكون بخير لوحدك ، تينا؟" صديقي المفضل ، أليكسيس ، يسأل عن المليون مرة ، ويمكنني تقريبًا رؤية العبوس الاعتذاري على وجهها. "يا إلهي ، ليكس ، للمرة الأخيرة ، نعم!" أقول في جهاز الاستقبال ، وأبدو غاضبًا كما أشعر. أعلم أنها تحاول أن تكون مدروسة وربما تشعر بالذنب لأنني في المنزل بمفردي الليلة ، لكن تعاطفها بدأ يبدو أشبه بالشفقة ؛ شيء يمكنني الاستغناء عنه بصدق ، خاصة اليوم. إنه عيد الحب. انها… اقرأ أكثر

A New Year’s Eve Kiss: Ch. 4 (A Holiday Romance)

معاصر

My ears are ringing; not because of the loud cheers of a million voices around me, or the band playing in the distance, or even the whistling and cracking sounds of launching fireworks in the sky, but because of something else; because of someone else. My brain mildly registers that there is a pair of lips on mine, that someone is kissing me, but the rest of my body is lost in numerous sensations that I can’t even really focus long enough to put names to.

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

معاصر

“Thirty…twenty-nine…twenty-eight…” The countdown is in full swing, and I still can’t see anyone I recognize. Dustin is still nowhere in sight, and I can’t seem to spot Mel or Derek, either. It certainly doesn’t help that I’m not exactly the tallest person in the world, and can barely see anything beyond the masses of people surrounding me. And, as if I’m not anxious enough, for some strange reason, I feel like someone’s watching me—which sounds stupid considering the place is packed full of eyeballs, so, of course, someone’s watching me…. اقرأ أكثر

“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
