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

Paranormal

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… Read More

V: Ch. 2 (A Valentine’s Day Paranormal Romance)

Paranormal

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… Read More

V: Ch. 1 (A Valentine’s Day Paranormal Romance)

Paranormal

“Are you sure you’ll be fine by yourself, Tina?” my best friend, Alexis, asks for the millionth time, and I can almost see the apologetic pout on her face. “Oh my God, Lex, for the last time, yes!” I say into the receiver, sounding as exasperated as I feel. I know she’s trying to be thoughtful and probably feels guilty that I’m at home by myself tonight, but her empathy is starting to sound a lot like pity; something I can honestly do without, especially today. It’s Valentine’s Day. It’s… Read More

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

Contemporary

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. Join us or log… Read More

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

Contemporary

“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….

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

Contemporary

“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?”… Read More
