《The Journey Towards Stardom》Chapter 14 - We slept together
Advertisement
For the next few days, Faer got all his stuff in order and was waiting for Jenna’s call.
Not knowing what to do with his pent-up excitement, he practiced his martial arts until he became familiar with it. He’d rather not have to solve violence with violence, but it never hurt to be prepared for anything.
On a particular day, he decided to stop by Jenna’s office and invite her out to lunch as a thank you for working so hard for his sake. Yeah, he knew that was to be expected but still, he didn’t know any other way to show his appreciation.
When he got to her office though, it seemed like she had a visitor or maybe another client?
Not wanting to interfere, he waited in the lobby. A minute passed before the door to her office opened and a woman with a well-developed figure stepped out. Her long black hair complimented her skin tone and her big dark eyes gave her an exotic visage. She looked maybe five or so years older than Faer.
Sahai tried to calm her breathing as she exited the office. That damnable ginger had refused to give out her client’s address, no matter how she screamed and threatened. She knew she was being a little irrational, but she couldn’t suppress her emotions. Some unknown guy broke into her room and somehow they ended up sleeping together. Despite her age, she had yet to sleep with a man. Nothing happened, she knew that, but she still wanted answers.
Sighing, she slowly made her way to the elevator. In her peripheral vision, she saw a man in a fitted black suit that accentuated his slim physique make his way to the office she had just exited. A beat later she turned around and followed behind him.

It was him!
Faer strolled towards the office, knocking on the already opened door to announce his presence.
“Oh, it’s you. Take a seat.” Jenna said as she ran a hand through her hair in frustration.
“Is everything alright?” Faer felt like he had to ask.
“How in the world did you end up offending Ms. Bedell?”
“Who is that?” Faer raised a brow in surprise. He remembered offending a Mr., not a Ms.
“Me.” A soft voice came from behind him.
Turning his head around, Faer caught sight of the woman that came out of the office not too long ago.
“Uh hello, not to sound rude but do I know you? I don’t remember meeting you before this.”
She passed by Faer to sit in the opposite chair beside him, the smell of her sweet perfume lingering in the air.
“We slept together.”
Startled, Faer stood up abruptly. “I beg your pardon?”
“You snuck into my room the night of the party without my knowledge and we ended up sleeping together. When I say sleep, I meant actual sleeping.”
What seemed like lightning, struck Faer as he gaped at the woman facing him. That’s right! He had woken up with a stranger. He didn’t know what she looked like so he didn’t recognize her at first.
What the hell kind of development was this?
Outwardly he remained cool but inside he was cursing himself nonstop.
Silence fell in the room, and the amused but surprised Jenna kept glancing back and forth between them.
“You didn’t mention this to me Faer. What exactly happened at the party?” Jenna could feel a headache coming on. It’s only been a week and this guy had already given her so many surprises.
“I’m not too sure myself but I ended up falling asleep in an unoccupied room while I was indisposed. The fault seems to lie with me. I’m sorry.” Faer rubbed his head in chagrin as he sincerely apologized.

“The room you slept in was mine; I was too drunk to take notice of who you were. Honestly, I came in here raging earlier because I thought you were a pervert who deliberately snuck into my room. Now seeing you for myself, I don’t think you’re the type of person to do such a thing.” Sahai concluded.
“How are you even able to tell whether I’m that kind of person or not?” Faer asked. He was really intrigued.
“Secret. Well since the matter has been settled, I’ll be going. I have somewhere else to be.” With a nod to Jenna and a last look to Faer, she was gone like the wind.

Blind Wastelands
[Royal Writathon April 2022 winner] (Support me on Patreon ) They say it was a war that blocked out the sun. They say it was poison bombs that reduced the land to rubble. The blind wastelands were what it was called now. Where there were once sprawling cities, farmlands, and crops that grew in the sun, sparkling waters that shone like diamonds, there was now darkness; a cloying, viscous darkness that filled men’s hearts with dread and sunk their bellies like stone. What remained of humanity scattered away from the darkness as much as they could, banding together in settlements lit with gas lamps and bonfires. A young man named Yunkef leaves his home at Settlement 41 to join a Scavenger team to bring back much-needed resources for his Settlement but finds there are much worse things in the darkness than just the beasts. He meets Lady Black.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
