I woke up the next morning with a book covering my chest, still opened to the same page. Conner was outstretched at the foot of my full size bed, his furry feet touching mine. With my blankets still undisturbed underneath me, I rolled over with groan and stretched until my back popped, sounding like a round of bullets were being fired. I sat up, wiping the gunk from the corner of my eyes, and saw that I beat my alarm. It was 6:52 a.m. I proceeded to turn off my alarm in advance so it wouldn’t…

What an upside down world Aileana felt she’d dropped into. She had a totally amazing lover who just happened to be a Selkie prince. She’d been kidnap by a Finman who planned to do horrible things to her. Thank the powers that be, the Finman is now dead and won’t be able to hurt any other women.

It wasn’t the reaction I’d hoped for. We were in town visiting an old flame of yours, Hassan, and you…

brush them back out with the brow brush so the it evens everything out and looks smooth. Then I start to do the cat eye look on my eyes. This is very hard and complicated to do. After that I take my eyelash curl and curl my lashes. Then I apply my mascara on to my eyelashes.

She managed to get back to her room by 5:45 which gave her plenty of time to shower, and fix herself up. She jumped into the shower and got out 10 minutes later. 'What the hell do I wear? Are we going somewhere nice or casual? Should I text her and see? Fuck it, I 'll surprise her. ' Carmilla decided to wear her black…

When I woke up at 8:58 on Tuesday morning, obviously late for my first period of the day, with none other than Michael Clifford's arms wrapped around my waist I panicked. But then the memories of the night before rushed through my head. The rocks on my window, the climbing through said window, the confession, the drunken kiss. Everything. I didn't know what to do, so I stayed completely still until he finally stirred. His eyes opened slightly, squinting at the bright light of the sun that was…

stood at the front of the stage staring up at him, looking right thought the other band members and ignoring the raging crowd behind me. There were dozens of screaming girls trying to take my place, hoping to get the lead singer to notice them but I had no interested in him. It was the drummer that had my undivided attention and I wasn’t moving. Come hell or high water I wasn’t going anywhere, I knew down to my soul this was exactly where I was supposed to be. In the ten seconds that it took for…
