There was something about him that left me in wonder.

Was it his beautiful brown eyes, or his enticing golden skin?

Could it be his hands that were as soft as cotton,

his teeth that were as white as the winter snow,

or the unforgiving scent of spice and wood that withered away

from his body into my nostrils that kept me under his spell?

I want him.

I couldn’t get passed the familiarity of h...

I sat in my car. Dang it. Ten minutes early. Curse my love for being on time. I sigh and turn up the radio just a bit, to block out the noise from outside while I stare out the window and start to people watch. I see one man trip over a crack in the sidewalk, a small child trying to to run to a candy store away from his mother, and a women who is playing the violin in the grass. Her battered violi...

It was the way he completely ignored the purpose of the bread knife at the table and used the dinner one instead. It was the way he stuffed the napkin into his collar before looking at the menu. He reminded me of Stan.

Stan and I met at Oxford when I was in first year. We first met at a freshers party off campus in the condition that one would find anyone during freshers week, either desperate, ...

Hi it's me Joan. I wanted to share my story about this guy i met online. But before that, let me tell you something about myself.

I'm 27 years old, living alone with cats actually. You can say I'm very independent. I am that type of a person who doesn't listen to what other says, in short... stubborn! which I think is a no-no for other people, I care less anyway. What else? I got this awesome wa...

She was late and I was early. I haven’t been out much since the nightmares and I had never been on a blind date, so I didn’t know what the fashionable etiquette was. I had gotten her a grocery store rose, arrived ten minutes early and I had waxed myself pit to pinky toe just in case it went that direction.

I was already walking to the little cafe she’d chosen in a khaki button up dress before I ...

I put on my soft pink blush on my cheeks then grab my bag and head out the door, today is my first date and i’m so excited! While I get in my mom’s car I start brushing my long golden blonde hair. “Wish you luck Kaliya” mom said waving to me as I step into the restaurant.

———

This restaurant is like none i’ve been to, it’s pretty empty and quiet, but I shake that off, I want this to be the perfec...

I let out a shaky laugh, “I don’t know you.”

His hands slip from my cheeks and into waves of blond hair, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I-.” My breath catches as he pulls me in for a kiss.

As our lips touch my hands grab his, and put them by his side. I step back from his embrace, as the memory hit me like a tidal wave.

——

“Daniel?” I asked, my lips touching his ear.

“Mhm?”

“What are we waiting for?...

I smoothed out my poofy, purple dress and took a step forward. The ballroom was full of pastel dresses and suits wandering around the room. My name would be announced as soon as the DJ saw me. Obviously, this party was for me.

Despite the excitement of the event, nerves fluttered through my veins. I couldn’t mess this up. I had to be perfect. People I couldn’t name waved at me, sipping from fanc...

“Simply,” she said smoothly, “I’m not your date. Well, not this time.”

“You’re not—you’re not what?”

My leg jittered under the table, my foot tapping quietly on the stone floor. Silence clogged the empty pub like smoke. It stifled the room, made it stuffy, hard to breathe, to think.

Usually, I’d revel in the quiet, welcome it, but this was maddening.

It was dead silent.

Even the beat of my ...
