New Journalist Violet Preston has longed for a position at "Wake Up World", a local journalism and news center for gifted writers. She aced the interview but on day one she did not expect to freak out, faint, and fall in love with the most handsome man on the team, Allen "Mickey" Dayne: her supervisor! Will she play it cool or find out that the best stories are love stories?

I was arranging the new books on the shelves when my phone beeped. 

Hey baby, just arrived at my office. Miss you already. (Nate)

I was smiling wide and replied to him right away.

Hey you! Miss U too. I'm at Novelty, it's a slow day. Boring. (Marissa)

It was boring, and without him to look forward to at the end of the day, I would be back to my routine. At least I got time to catch up on my romance novels. I had finished arranging the books, so I started reading on my Kindle while waiting on the store.

Then another text came in.

Boring is good. I'll call you tonight baby. Wear something sexy. (Nate)

I replied that same moment.

Sexy for sure. Boring is not good. I miss u! #pouting (Marissa)

I smile seeing his name calling me. 

"Baby, I'll be seeing you tonight, it's just for a couple of days. Stop being a brat, or are you doing this on purpose for your punishment? mmh?..."

"Nate...maybe, but I do miss you. Would you call me this afternoon after work? I don't have anyone to hangout with after work. Except maybe Matt, but..."

"I would really like you not to hangout with him. Though it's not my place yet, but I will definately reward you if you didn't. I will try and make time to call you after work just before my other meeting okay?"

"Okay, I guess I'll be catching up on my reads then. See you later...." We hangup after we said our goodbyes.

The afternoon passed by excruciatingly slow. I was mostly day dreaming while holding on to my Kindle.

Then the lady from the cake store entered. "Afternoon, oh my...this is a very nice place. I'm Alicia Griffin from Sugar. I had an appointment with Archibald Michaels?" She gave me her sweetest smile. 

"Hi Mrs. Griffin. I'm Marissa. Let me give him a call. Would you like some tea while you wait?" I asked her, while ushering her to a seating area. 

"Call me Alice dear, and Griffin is my maiden name.. I'm single by choice. you've been to the shop already right? sorry about the penises." She laughed as I was blushing at her. 

My god this woman. 

I smiled back at her and was about to call Archie, but he was already at the door, pacing his steps quickly. "Marissa, the lady from the cake shop....oh hey there. Sorry I'm a bit late. I'm Archibald Michaels, call me Archie.... They introduced each other as I went to the back and prepared them some tea.

I came back minutes later, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them flirting with each other. 

What happen to the ten minutes after introduction? They sure as hell move fast. Archie was holding her hand as she furiously gave him some sexy winks and smirks. 

Damn! I was definately behind her in flirting lessons.

She should teach me some moves, all I could do was blush. I walked to their direction and coughed intentionally letting them know of my arrival. 

"Ah Marissa come sit here kid, now...Alice, this lovely young woman here was the one that shoved the idea into my head. She told me she love your cake and we should negotiate on pricing." Archie was looking proud at me, again all I could do was blush a deeper shade of red. 

Damn! 

I smiled awkwardly at her. "Sorry, I'm not used to being called on."

"Ah...Archie, you have a shy one here. But I thought I saw you with your dashing young man the other day. You can't be that shy then. Come, sit with us. I'll let you pitch your ideas. And see what we could do with the pricing and the type of menu you intend on serving here." She patted the chair next to her. 

I sat down and blurted out my ideas. My notes were given out to be evaluated, it was like talking to my teachers. They were full on listening to me babbling about the menu and pricing. I did my research, well I just Googled it actually but they were gulping down my ideas enthusiastically, I was feeling proud of myself. 

We talked more for another hour until Archie told me to head on home, that he would close up the store later. But I had a feeling he wanted some alone time with Alice. 

Damn he's smooth...

So, I head on back to my place, and took a quick stop to buy some groceries on the way back. It was still four in the afternoon the air was nice and warm, so I decided to put on my bikini, then bring my coffee and Kindle, and towels to relax on the beach while catching the afternoon air.

I decided to teased Nate and took a sexy selfie and send it to him. Then I put the phone on mute and ignored him for awhile as I was finishing off on my sexy book.

The sun was setting when I decided to go back to the cottage and took a shower. I was putting all my things on the kitchen counter when I remembered about my phone that was muted. I was so relaxed and drifted away in my book that I completely forgot about Nate. 

I smiled and opened my phone. There were six messages and four missed calls. Then a call came through. It was Nate, I was grinning when I picked it up.

"Marissa? Where are you?! Are you okay?! Why aren't you replying to your text and picking up your phone. Did you know how worried I am?!!" His voice was elevated and firm at the end. It made me instantly wet. 

What the fuck is wrong with me? 

"Baby? Answer me?" He asked again, softly this time. 

"Em...yeah, I'm back at the cottage. Sorry, I muted the phone I was reading my book." My voice sounded croaked, I was horny and was trying to hide it from him. But my breathing was heavy, he could definately hear it.

"Marissa? Are you actually horny hearing how I was truly worried about you? Baby...answer me!"

"Ye...yeah, I think there's something wrong with me Nate. I don't think it's normal for a virgin to feel like this. I should definitely Google this." I could hear him chuckled on the other line. 

"Tell me little one, what are you feeling right now? Honestly baby..." He asked me with his deep sexy voice making me moaned, and he definately heard that one.

"Well...ermm I'm horny, I think I'm wet from all your harsh and demanding questions earlier." I answered meekly to him.

"I really need to know if you're really wet Marissa, slid your fingers under your bikini baby. And snap a picture and send it to me. Now little one. I'll be waiting." Then he hung up on me. I did as he tells me to do. Then he called me again seconds after I sent him my proof of arousal. 

"Damn it baby, you are so fucking perfect. I would like to lick you right now. But first I want you to play with yourself in the bathroom just before you take a shower, I want you to edge yourself and not let yourself come. Can you do that for me baby? I want to see you come tonight on our video call. I have another meeting in fifteen minutes and I'm already half stiff. I really need to calm myself down before the meeting. But I want you to have a little fun. I will see you at eight tonight okay?"

"Okay..." That was all I managed to say. My breath was hitched and he was definitely hearing it as he groaned on the other line.

"Don't make me spread your legs roughly little one. Keep them open for me, you want this right? Tell me if you want to stop okay?" He asked with his sexy voice, I was nodding my reply. 

******

Marissa was a true Cinderella story, where her mother died and her father remarried and she had two annoying ugly hearted sisters. 

Her father was lost in his work. Never care for her, she was no longer daddy's little girl.

She finally moved out of the house, out of the toxic environment. And leave her dearest dad behind. She had given up on him, as she was no longer someone he hold dear. 

She found her self living small seaside town to find peace and love and her happy ever after. She was a hopeless romantic, who reads to many romance novels. 

******

Nate was mending his broken heart at his brother's beach house. He always love the little sleepy coastal town. 

All until one day he met a suicidal young woman. She constantly bothered his mind, with her sexy images over and over again. 

She was too young for him, she was just barely legal. And she turned out to be a hopeless romantic. He needed to stay away from her. But obviously couldn't, as they constantly wanting each other's company.

Support and Thanks!
Hi everyone! Whether you are a reader old who struggled through the original drip feed of chapters… or a new reader who has joined with the influx of re-uploads, welcome to the chaos :P 
I really must say that for me, personally, this has been such an amazing journey of highs and lows. I am not disillusioned with my own writing. I know I am not the worst – but I am also well aware that I am not the best by any means, even in the community of freelance online writers. So the fact that so many of you take the time to read A Hand-Woven Universe not only blows my mind but also makes me so happy. Although it might be a long endeavor – I will continue the story of Noone and Tapestry all the way to the end.
Promise.

Vote/Rate/Review
Obviously on all websites where this is uploaded, they have a system in place to help rank the stories. I won't beg too much, but please consider doing whatever it is to bring this story a larger audience!
On WN this means voting everyday – if you feel so inclined, and leaving a review.
On RR this means leaving a rating and review.
I plan to upload soon on MQ as well!

Amazon Paperback/Kindle
After a multi-month haitus… I am proud to announce that Silence In Tapestry, Book 1 of A Hand-Woven Universe, is for sale on Amazon! 
If you enjoyed book 1 enough to consider purchasing a paperback copy, then I would like to give you my thanks now just for  the simple fact that you took the time to read all the way to that point. However, the paperback copy is not perfect. I had to do all of the writing, editing, and formatting myself. This means its quality will not be the MOST professional it could have been. For this I apologize, but for what it is – I am happy with it. Flaws and all.
If you would just like to support me but don't want to spend the money to purchase a paperback, please consider buying a kindle copy! It's far cheaper and I will receive about the same profit from either due to Amazon's royalty agreement.
Thank you all for being so patient with me getting this whole thing together. I know a lot of worries were going around about whether or not I would be back. Well, I am!

Patreo n: New and Old.
For those of you who have been supporting me on Patreo n (even through the hiatus…) Thank you. I honestly can not express my feelings on this properly through words alone – which really calls into question my efficacy as a writer. Nevertheless, I hope you all are prepared for book 2!
For anyone who might want to support me in a way other than Amazon – consider my patreo n! I will be changed the tiers a little bit to make it more enticing. Here's what you can expect:
•Even more advanced chapters per tier
• The ability to create major/minor characters for the story
• Patreo n-Specific discord tag!
• patreo n-Specific Q&A's
• Special mention in any books produced
----------
I hope you all are preparing yourselves for book 2! I have quite a bit of outlining just to keep it flowing well. But I am equally excited to bring the story in my mind, to the page.

Great news! The book is ready!
So, I need to download the text to Amazon and that is why I need to delete the chapters here. Also I plan to move the Release date to the 22 October.

The release of the second book was smashed and the pre-orders lost. I've lost some amount of sales of the 2nd book. And this led the translation of the 5th book to a pause. It's a pity but the money rules. The translation of one book costs 7000-9000$. All I earned on the 1st book I've spent for the translation of the 1-4 books and for the promotion of the 1st one. And now I need at least 500 pre-orders to start sales. It seems to me it's stupid not to use the opportunity to get the rating of the best-seller with the 3rd one and hurry up the translation.

Now there are 450 pre-orders.
If you plan to buy a book - pre-order it now please. I'll be very grateful.

And one more. If you can, will you please leave a short review for the Wizard? It's Kindle Free. The readings are unfortunately poor as well :-/ Thanks ahead

Also I've opened a pre-order for the 4th book. Add it to your bookmarks, not to miss later.

Here is the link. The cover is temporary, that's why looks rather strange lol))

Description

He was born anew in a world where martial arts were indistinguishable from magic. He’d only received a neuronet and meaningless desires from his past life. What lies ahead? He’d dreamed of adventure and freedom, but those dreams were taken away from him. The same way his mother, father, and sister had been taken away. They took his Kingdom, they even took his destiny. But he is willing to wage a war, against the whole world if need be, to bring everything back. Even if a whole army opposes him, his sword won’t waver. Even if the Emperor sends entire legions against him, his step won’t falter. Even if demons and gods, heroes and villains alike, unite against him, he won’t bend to their will. His own will is iron itself, unstoppable. His name is Hadjar and he heeds the call of the dragon heart within him. 

This novel contains uncensored scenes of battle that may or may not include depictions of violence and gore. Read it at your own risk.

 

Alright, boy-ohs and girlies, I've tried my best, I really have, but writing is way harder than I could have ever imagined. I'm at 216 chapter, 218 if you count *******, and about 90-95% of the story has been written without much consideration for outlining. A while ago, I started a wiki for the novel to try to keep track of everything and only now am I starting to understand the magnitude of the mistakes I've made writing up to this point.

Anyway, the announcement this time is to let you know that my writing pace hasn't simply slowed. I'm just taking the majority of my time chronicling everything that's happened and will happen and thinking up solutions to the problems that I've detected in the logic of the story; or plotholes. I'll probably take a while and until I'm confident in where the story will head, I'll continue putting out a depressingly low number of chapters every week.

It feels wrong to not say anything and even worse keeping my ******* collecting despite the obvious downgrade to my writing speed. So, despite my obvious bias in wanting to keep Patreons, I'd caution everyone supporting me to only continue doing so if you're fine with the current situation. Webnovel, Royalroad and my ******* all keep publishing dates on the chapters I release, so you can keep track of my writing speed by looking there; until you feel it's worth it, reconsider wasting your time or money during these unstable times. I probably should have made this announcement sooner, considering the downgrade to my writing speed has been around for a month's worth of time, so I apologize.

I'll be putting out chapters when I can, but the majority of my focus right now is revisiting already published chapters, touching them up and documenting whatever I can in the novel's wiki page. Anyone wondering where I'm at can check the wiki page and even contribute if they're bored enough. That is all for now~

UPDATE (December 29th, 2019)
Alright, I'm about to get really real and admit to being a really shitty author these last three to four months. Truth be told, I really did want to take time to update the wiki and figure out how to handle what I thought were this novel's biggest failings in plot holes. However, to do that and find details that might have only been mentioned in passing, I had to eventually turn to rereading entire chapters.

Guys... I'm being as sincere as I possibly can right now. I have no fucking clue how I've developed a following after rereading the first couple chapters. I understand that authors can grow a lot after a year, but it hasn't even been that long and I believe the first hundred chapters are Trash with a capital T. It's borderline unreadable (upon proofreading this tirade, this might be a mild exaggeration, but it is true to my thoughts nonetheless) and the fact that I have nearly 4,000 followers after combining the collections on Webnovel with those following on RoyalRoad is incomprehensible to me. There are still even 19 people supporting me on ******* when I haven't released squat in nearly two months!

I've tried to ignore this. I've tried to work on other books. Hell I've even messed around with fanfiction, hoping to one day wake up and see everyone gone. Like the book had never existed. But like I said, there are still 4,000 people waiting for releases. More joining by the day and people still supporting the novel with spirits stones. Even 19 who value two chapters being at least a dollar.

Every time I think I'm ready to move on, ready to completely shut down the novel to start a new one, I think about those people and realize, "I'm a fucking bitch. Just finish the fucking novel, idiot." The passing of time has only made the feeling worse, so I guess this is a message consigning myself to completing this book, by any means necessary. I won't be able to focus on another story otherwise, so this update is more for me than for my audience.

That being said, the reason I felt inclined to give up on the novel in the first place was because of how terrible I found my writing from a nearly a year ago. So, I want to stress that I'm not going chuck a bunch of shit together to finish the story. Rather, I'm going to go back and rewrite things as I continue to catalogue things on the wiki.

Last couple things I want to quickly mention:

- I haven't really used any of the money I've made on ******* so I want to commission a legit book cover. Ditch that shit I made with my lacking Photoshop Skills...

-More on the money thing, after I finish rewriting the novel — it'll mostly be editing details that make the book seem less like it was written by an amateur, so the story progression won't at all change — I plan on also hiring people to format Book 1 and eventually Book 2 into legit e-reader and paperback formats. I know, I know...

"Greedy author, have you no shame?" 

Honestly, I want to follow pirate aba's style of keeping everything free, and I will. I'm not going to enter a contract with Webnovel or paywall chapters through kindle. However, for the people who for whatever reason want to have a kindle or physical copy of this (current dumpster fire of a) novel, I want it to at least be possible. There's also the benefit of gaining new readers through Amazon this way which is always a plus. 

Like the G.O.A.T. pirate aba — check out her (I think it's a her) book The Wandering Inn — I'll keep all the chapters on Webnovel and Royalroad free. Though the ******* thing will still be in effect at least until I finish the series or whatever.

-Since I'm rewriting the novel for the most part, I'll make more announcements as I continue updating the novel; meaning adding on to the story (Chapter 219, 220, etc...)

Unless it becomes too annoying and people request against it, I'll be adding "Revised" to Chapters that have been, well... revised.

-I'm going to be having some polls on RoyalRoad on a couple important things as I start getting back into the grind of updating this novel.

Namely: Should I change the name of the novel? If so, to what? What would you guys like the book cover to look like? Should I change the name of the Books/Arcs? 

That is all for now. So... I guess this is Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Years all in one?

A seemingly random instance of character creation on the deep dark web changes the life of a socially inept and insufferable game addict, Adrian, in more ways than he could ever have fathomed.

A transformation and pact with a Goddess force him out of his comfortable lifestyle as the wastrel son of billionaire parents.

Entered in the Cataclysm, an apocalyptic battle royale for the Chosen of Sponsor Gods and Goddess, with his life effectively changed into that of a game character, Adrian has to confront underground Secret Societies, Magic, Cultivation, and change dramatically if he is to have the slightest chance of survival.

With Book 2 done, here comes the shamelessness...

Ellie was happy to see that Henry had known that she too would enjoy his childhood haunt.  She could imagine herself sneaking up here as a child to get away from her insufferable brother.  It was that type of a nice hidden place where things could be kept dry even in rain. Ellie liked it immensely when she sat on the wooden table under the gazebo like roof.  It reminded her more of a restaurant booth, but instead of a good view, there were books placed within easy reach on the shelves all around them. There was a charged kindle waiting for both of them which strangely seemed out of place.  They both sat down and read for a while. But after a bit, Ellie found her eyes drifting away from the novel she'd been reading.
She found herself drawn to the statue standing pensively in the garden and wanted to remark on how similar it looked to Henry.  The expression was spot on from when he had accompanied her on their morning stroll. The taunt musculature was the same as the biceps and shoulders that Ellie could see through his thin grey sweatshirt.  It was a simple piece of clothing, but compared to the tailored business suits that Ellie was used to seeing him in. This type of clothing seemed to suit him best. It had been like walking next to an angel as the sun highlighted his perfect features.  It was only now that Ellie realized he was truly relaxed as cookie crumbles clung to the side of his mouth. She wanted to touch that area of his face, but it was too soon.
Like a mirage disappearing, she had felt safe enough to try her true intent.  She had let her feelings spill out when she had tried to present another avenue to their relationship.  It had shocked her to see his quick horror. True horror -- like the small child who had walked into a haunted house and regretted instantly.  It had also made her wonder why that little boy would be scarred when he had been brave everywhere else. Ellie had taken some steps back to get a more firm grasp on the situation.  Henry's reactions were strange so she had not taken the response personally. It was alright to take these things more slowly. She could not let her feelings command her actions quite yet.  There was more to understand before she made some progress.
To think Henry could be frightened?  She wished it was some type of misunderstanding.  The darkness that had flashed over his face had made her feel uneasy.  It would have been simple if he had the regret of someone who was in love with a lady whom was not the same woman who was approaching.  His expression had not really been consistent with the words that were coming out of his mouth. His true thoughts were obviously motivated by some trauma that was deeper than what she had seen of him.


Facing a marriage deadline, CEO Henry Wong impulsively weds Ellie Chen, a broke former professional race car driver dying of a wreak she had on the track. 

In return, her younger brother will receive a generous scholarship -- and Henry will have the enchanting Ellie as a wife, if only for a time. 

Then fate takes a hand, and Henry suddenly finds herself with a healthy, vibrant wife -- a siren he finds it hard to keep his eyes off of.

Henry turned to the other woman who was standing in the room as he clutched Ellie close to his chest. "You have seen it yourself now Aunt Dorota, she is such an elegant lady, with a humble character, and her kind nature is something I will never find again. And you know, she has the strength to match my mother -- she used to be a well-known race car driver you know." 

The hug around Ellie started to grow uncomfortable as she squirmed a little. She wanted to move away, but knew that would detract from all the work that had been put in upto this moment so she swiveled her head. Like a butterfly landing she put her head on his shoulder and looked at Dorota. "I'm so lucky to have you, my love."

Early February, the temperature is still cold and the weather is a color Sheen would describe, pale blue. It's a color that makes you feel the coldness and the warmth that the sky will make you feel. 

Light clouds surround the vast sky which mixes with the sun's Ray's during sunset and sunrise. 

Sheen covers her eyes while looking up, covered in a fluffy cream-colored jacket, she is on her way to pass an initial plot for her new novel this coming December. 

Before her college graduation, she had two national awards for writers: Best Teen Novel Writer and Influencer of the Year, from a single book that she was writing during her college days. 

Her books are like new series shown on the television, it catches everyone's attention. 

It becomes a talk in the street and a trending hashtag, it is something that everyone knows. 

But not everyone knows the author's real name since she only publishes with her pen name: Sheen. Only her co-workers, family and friends know who she is, Sierra Haley Eureka Ellaine Neomi Verrez or Sheen. 

With her not-very-long-name, not only she chooses Sheen as her public identity, but it is also to keep her own world on her hands and her writing world to the outside. 

As she walks to her office, she stumbles upon a familiar face.


Someone she would not want to see but is dying to see. 

The irony and the contradiction, makes her heart beat thousands faster than normal, her face burns a higher degree, her whole body stuck at the last movement. 

The person who made her that way saw her pathetic state but for some reason, didn't react and made his way out of her sight, as if she was not there, as if there was nothing to give attention to.

 After some time, Sheen had collected herself and continued walking, but her mind got stuck to the pair of eyes she saw and missed so badly which made her forget where her office is and found herself in front of the mirror while tears are flowing from her eyes. "I still..." was the only words that she uttered, incomplete yet full of the feeling she keeps. 

Pain, love, and longing. 

She wiped her tears with some tissue she has and retouched her makeup to hide the redness around her eyes. She then went to her office.

"Sheen, a lady whose heart was broken by a man who she loved the most, is a famous national author. The books she writes are about romance yet she never really did experience romance itself. We made a call with the author of Leaving on a public plane to answer some questions." 

The television echoed around the office when she arrived, the interview she had yesterday is now on air. 

Since she is an unknown writer, they have decided to just have a call interview instead of going to the show. 

She silently seats down as her co-workers watch the show. 

"So, how come you have never been in a romance? You told us in your last interview that you have been in love before yet here you are, an untouched romance novelist."

She remembered how that question made her feel yesterday, it questioned her view of herself about her relationship with her first love. 

Many didn't understand what she said in her last interview. "Let me clarify that, yes, I fell in love. But I was the only one in love. 

You see, romance is something that is created from two individuals who shares and feels the same. 

You can't have a romantic relationship with someone who doesn't feel what you feel." As the words penetrate her ears, she smiled. 

Those were something that she would write in her novels. The pain of unrequited love from a romance writer.

Sheen, a famous book author of romance and a victim of unrequited love, finds herself in need of true romance for a new novel. She stumbles upon young men while thirsty to create the novel she needs to write, she jumps from one romance to another to create the perfect romantic book she can ever write.

Silver ran from the crowd that was beginning to form. The bruise on her eye began to throb. She knew that the bullying would only get worse after she came out. Silver hadn't anticipated it to be this bad though.
         
                                  ***

She ran and ran and ran, until she fell, and her legs could not carry her anymore. Silver looked up and found that she was at a bookstore. Internally, Silver cheered this was the best place she possibly could end up.An oasis in a desert, was a bookstore to this girl, for she could feel as though she could be in transported to different worlds by opening the cover to a book. 

                                ***

Silver opened the door to and scented a pine aroma like her mother's scent. A bell chimed from somewhere inside the store. A sweet voice from the counter told her to, "Look around as much as you please, darling." A simple, "Thank you," is what Silver returned to the person whom the sweet voice belonged to. Silver looked toward the direction the sweet voice had originated from. She saw the woman, whom the sweet voice belonged, behind the counter, she had soft brown curls with her ears poking out on the sides of the woman's messy bun. Silver could see two cat tails, she took to note the lady was a twin-tailed cat, and continued observing her. The woman was curvy but slim and had light brown skin which complimented her features, such as her hazel eyes, perfectly.

                                 ***

 "Miss, may I trouble you for your name?" Silver questioned the woman. "Adeline is my name but everyone calls me Adi," Adi told her. "Thank you," Silver called over her shoulder as she walked away to look at the love of her life, books. She walked towards the section that held her favorite genre, romance, Silver was a hopeless romantic. This was mainly because the right woman never came along, but also because when ever she found a girl to ask out they ended up only being interested in guys. So this was why she loved romance books. Silver picked out a book it was a Romance- Fantasy book called The Cube by xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. "Adi I found myself a book," Silver called out. "I'll be right there darling," Adi called from a back room. Adi emerged from behind a stack of books and walked over to the counter. "That'll be 36.94, any thing else for ya." "Nope, that'll be it for me, thank you." "Okay there's your change darling." "Thank you, again." Silver then proceeded to leave the store and she walked home, she was late but her father wouldn't care. He hadn't cared about her, ever since her mother's death he'd been like this. It had changed him from a loving father to a lazy drunk slob. He hated everything and everyone. Silver worked a part time job to support herself and just enough for her father to live. Silver walked up to her room shut the door and opened her laptop where she continued browsing houses. 

                                  ***

A few hours later Silver closed her laptop and got ready for bed. When she finished her preparation she crawled into bed Silver then picked up the book she bought earlier and opened the cover...

She received her first paycheck from Ardor and knew exactly where she wanted to spend it. Nathan took her to the bookstore where she met Kelsey for the first time. She took a cart, knowing she will be buying more than a few books.

She went straight to the Fiction shelves. She studied the covers, picked out the most interesting titles, read the synopsis and followed her gut instinct whether to put it in the cart or put it back on the shelves. She could do that for hours, while Nathan was in the Business section because that's what he was reading lately.

She saw him reading by the store window. The sunlight penetrated the glass and made his skin looked golden. He was looking down on his book, he pouted his lips. The world around him seemed to disappear, he wasn't aware of her watching him. He was like her when he reads, she thought. She could spend hours in that store, and he wouldn't be bothered waiting for her.

She turned to the Literature aisle, looked at the top shelves where all the dead poets lined up. She already owned most of the books. She tried to reach her favorite one but it was too high. A longer arm aimed for it from behind her, a scent of Nathan's cologne followed it.

"I've never read this one before," he said standing really close to her.

"That's my favorite, I left it at home ... I'm thinking to buy another one, just in case."

He laughed, "Just in case of what? But that's a good strategy though, always have a backup ... I want to read this ... I guess I've found the culprit, this was exactly where I met Kelsey the first time, she was buying books for you, wasn't she?" he looked straight into her eyes.

She shrugged with a smile, "Guilty."

"So ... if you had come with her that summer, I would've bumped into you instead of her?" he wondered.

She pursed her lips, "That's highly likely, this is a great store ... but then you wouldn't be dating the hottest girl in Gastonburry."

He looked down, lost his smile, and let out a long exhale. "Right."

"I think I'm done here," she said.

He looked at her half full cart, "Wow, that looks awesome, are you going to read them all in one night?"

She laughed, there were close to 20 books in her cart, "That's for the whole month or maybe more 'cause I need to do my report."

He grabbed the cart and took the poetry book that was going to be his new favorite, "This will be my bonus for you, let's check-out."

"What? I can't let you pay for that ... that's a lot of books," she refused.

"You deserve a bonus for all the work you put in, anyways, these books are going on my shelves, you won't be taking them back to Gastonburry, would you?" He had a point.

"I guess not."

"Great, so that's settled ... we'll have a reading fest tonight, I'll fix a nice dinner, we'll get some wine, we'll read, and then music, and then desert ... and then we can talk about it 'til sunrise ... you know, a stay at home nerdy weekend," he sounded excited.

She laughed, it sounded like a dream. It was something she would enjoy by herself, and now there's someone that enjoys it as much as she does. She remembered him saying, 'There's nothing sexier than a girl who reads.' Dido.

**********

Home made gourmet looked so easy in Nathan's hands. She sat by the kitchen island, reading one of their new books while cooked. "Wow, I'm liking this one, it's gonna be hard to put down," a wide smile spread across her face. She was four chapters in, the story was already clutching her.

"Oh I know the kind ... I wanna read that one too, no spoilers please," he was seasoning his food, flipping his tools like a pro.

Her face was covered by the book, eyes glued to the pages. Once in awhile she made humming sounds, a chuckle or an exasperating sigh. He smiled amused, splashed some white wine to the fish, then poured some for himself and some for Julie. "It's that good, huh?" he offered a toast. She quickly finished the last line, clinked her glass with Nathan's, then marked the book and closed it.

"It's really good," she gulped her wine.

Their eyes met. He wanted to tell her how much he loves looking at her getting lost in a story, but his face said it all.

"If you like suspense thrillers ..." she tapped on the book, "This is the best I've read in years ... but I have to finish it to conclude the entirety of it, and then I'll tell you all about it."

He laughed, "I'm gonna read that right after you finish, do not attempt to spoil that for me ... I'm gonna read some romance after this, you know, to infuse a little romantic spirit into the tragic stricken love life of mine."

"Oh, come on, long distance relationships are not tragic, although, it is kind of sad to spend Friday night with a book nerd at home," she giggled.

"Trust me, it's tragic, and this is not even close to sad ... I actually prefer this than a noisy night life, and it's better with company."

They clinked glasses to that.

They started eating while discussing about books they've read, their favorite authors, movie adaptations, and everything else other than their tragic love life. After dinner, they sat in the living room area with their book of choice, and spend comfortable silence together. Commenting on what they were reading once in awhile, and went back to it right after.

He really did read a romance novel. He read only selected few, he said. But nonetheless, he was reading it. Julie never came across a guy who reads as much as she does, a romance novel especially.

Two hours into their reading session, his phone rang.

"Hey," he picked up.

She could tell from his tone, it was Kelsey.

"What?" he sounded surprised. He stood up from his reading position, and walked to the front door.

"Surprise!!" Kelsey's voice can be heard from the living room.

"Oh my God! Hi!" Nathan replied.

The silence that followed can only be assumed that they were kissing. She would've jumped to welcome her but she didn't want to interrupt their kiss.

When she finally stormed into the living room, they hugged and screamed. "I miss you so much! I thought I'd crash into your island weekend here and get a taste of that New Year's party I missed," Kelsey said with twinkles in her eyes. She looked around and saw all the books and wine bottles, "Wow ... you two are really going all the way tonight, aren't you?" she laughed.

Julie glanced at Nathan who was standing idle by the dining table, unsure of what he needed to do.

"You want some wine, Kells?"

"Oh, yeah, I could use a pre-drink, come on let's get dressed and go to that rock n' roll bar you told me about," she took the glass from Nathan's hand.

"Now?" he asked.

"Sure ... why not? I did came all this way for the weekend, Gastonburry was a bit dull ... so I thought I pay a visit to my hot boyfriend and let him take me out on an island night life," she came over to Nathan and kissed him.

"Yeah ... I think you should catch up and check out The Rockabillies ... or other bars you might like, I'm just gonna stay home and read tonight," Julie said. Nathan gave her a sharp disagreeing look.

"Yeah, babe, let's get out and have some fun, a little dancing, some island cocktails, and then we come back and catch up some more," she bit her lower lip and ran her hand under his shirt. She caught his lips and engulfed them in her kiss, Julie looked away.

"Julie, you sure you don't want to come?" he tried.

"No, you guys go ahead and have fun ... I'm just gonna finish this one and drink all your wine," she lifted her book with a grin.

"Oh don't mind her, she won't put down her book even if it's the end of the world," Kelsey pressed herself against Nathan, he couldn't possibly say 'no' to her after she took an eight hour flight just to spend the weekend with him.

"Okay ... let me change first," he took her hands out of his shirt and went to his room.

"Did Preston told you I was coming?" Kelsey threw herself by her side.

"No, I was as surprised as Nathan was."

"Good, I told him not to tell you, he said if he called you he would definitely slip up, so he wants you to call him after I get here."

"He's not out clubbing on a Friday night?"

"Nope, he's waiting for your call ... he's been brooding lately, its annoying, he's not much fun without you."

Nathan came out of his room in a long sleeve shirt pulled to the elbow. He wore his favorite washed out jeans and smelled like a Friday night. His eyes fell to Julie's, hoping she would change her mind or begged him not to go.

"Great! Let's go!" Kelsey jumped to her feet.

11 PM Friday night was her best time. Nathan looked down, there was no chance he was getting out of this one.

"Have fun guys! I won't wait up!" Julie waived at them.

"Thanks babe, we'll catch up tomorrow, 'kay?" Kelsey kissed her cheek.

Nathan didn't even say his goodbye, just a simple waive and a disappointed look on his face.

"Don't forget to call Preston," Kelsey added as she slipped her arm around Nathan's.

Julie caught a look from Nathan's eyes. "I won't," she said.

They stepped out and Nathan slammed the door just a little too hard.
