“Happy Accidents” by Adelaide Brenner

"No""Please?""No""Please, Declan," I flutter my eyelashes in a way I know he hates, "please, please, please-""NO!" He slams the book back down on the shelf, nearly crinkling it's jacket. "No, we're not dating and also I hate you.""You know what you wouldn't hate? A hundred grand. Each. Straighten out that jacket before we get fired.”I can see the gears turning in Declan’s eyes, because he is a robot incapable of human emotion, as he...

“Questions and Answers” by Tanja Cilia

“You sound like an old married couple!” his sister told us, when she heard us alternately bickering and bantering.“Ha!” I replied, ever the nerd. “At one point in Green Card, Lauren tells Brontë and Georges exactly that; ‘You sound like an old married couple’. Déjà-vu, ha ha!”We were at the Emergency Clinic at hospital. Xanthe had fallen off a ladder (long story!) and we had driven her to hospital.By ‘we’, I mean Matthew and myself. He was, literally, the boy-next-door. We had virtually, and litera...

“Love on Battlefield.” by Meghma Ghosh

Chilling with my family on the weekend has no words to be explained... a nice movie, brother's comment in between the movie, some snacks, some cold drinks, mom's fantastic cooking and at last going to my room and jumping with a cozy blanket on the super soft bed for a goodnight's sleep. Next day is monday, my brother loves them but for me monday's are the bugs made by god to make our websites known as Life.com. t...

“eight of cups ” by Neppi A

Samara was into acting even before she had met Kevin. She took part in small acting gigs on weekends between her busy college weekdays. Acting for her was more of a hobby than a part-time job. A hobby that paid enough to handle the minute expenses outside of her scholarship’s coverage. She met Kevin on a midsummer’s day, when she was cycling back from playing Queen Victoria, dead tired. The wind had a taste of lavender crushed against mint leaves as it ladled past her bare face, the sun, about to set. It had been a serene feeling until Ke...

“Untrue Love” by Kate Ashton

༺CLARA༻ Clara Forbes snuggled up in Parker Ambrose's lap, a soft smile on her face as she read her favorite novel. The study was cool, but she didn't feel the chill while she was in Parker's arms. Clara mouthed the words slightly as she read, trying to make the scene more entertaining. The thought made her chuckle. Clara couldn't really see the appeal, but 70% of the viewers did. Ap...

“Love connection ” by Julie Adamson

It was a stupid idea, I wouldn’t be doing this if not for the hundred thousand dollar price. I had just started my makeup business and the extra money would be go a long way to helping me with starting up. My friend Matt he wanted the money for his band. They’d had a few small shows, this way they could hire a venue and play for free and using extra money to promote it. “We get a following, it means more shows and ...

“All in for the money” by Sophie Aay

Quietness filled the air as they stared at each other like two opponents having a showdown which, might give room to tranquility for once. They had being neighbors for three years, though not the good types. For two real life characters who practically live almost together, she lived in the top room while he lived in the one below, the two tenants could hardly have been more different, one so boisterous and expressive, t...

“Soulmates of the Unconventional Kind” by Madeleine Hays

“It ends tomorrow,” James says, as though I’ve been able to think of anything else for the past two days. “It does,” I say, sinking into the bed. “Shame, this resort bed is so much more comfortable than my own.” He laughs. “Yeah. It’s huge too.” He pauses and takes a breath before continuing. “Do you think it’s a shame that we’ve been living together for a month and the part we’ll miss most is the beds? Tha...
