《My Mate Ran Me Over》Chapter 13
Advertisement
I gulped when the mysteriously handsome man continued to stare at me. My eyes dropped towards his arms. They were tense and the muscles straining as they clenched and unclenched, and all I wanted to do was touch them.
Part of me wants to poke him to see if he was real. My mind was in a haze. Sure I saw handsome looking guys before, not looking at me, but still I never had the urge to touch them or jump their bones like a lunatic!
"Um...sir? Table for one?" I repeated.
"Yeah."
Holy mother of...
If I wasn't weak in the knees before, I sure am now. That voice. I swear I'm in heaven. His voice was deep, full of roughness and a rumble to his words.
Shaking my head to push away the thoughts and act semi normal.
"Well...uh this way." Leading him to a corner table open in the back, my pace quick and clumsy. Cursing under my breath as my hip bumped into a chair. Even when my back was turned I can still feel his burning gaze.
My face contorted in pain when my leg hit yet another chair making me loose balance. Instantly hands were placed on my waist. Those hands forced me to spin around to face my customer/savior.
"You okay?" His expression was plain and stone but concern clouded his eyes.
"Y-yeah. I'm fine," I told him. "Thank you." He nodded slowly but his hands stayed firmly planted. My eyes stared into his, neither of us moving apart.
"Miss?" I looked to see a man raising his coffee cup in the air. "Refill."
"I'll be there in a moment." I hollered.
"Thanks again for the save." I stared up at him, feeling so short against him.
He nodded at me before letting me go, though he gave my hips a quick squeeze.
"I'll be back for your order. The table is right there." I uttered quickly then scurrying away.
That mystery man did things to me. Even though I don't know him, I feel like I do. And the vibes that are rolling off him, made me want to get closer.
Greeeeeat I'm crushing on a mystery man...
This should be fun.

Liz, who came to have a formal marriage meeting with First Prince Alan, unintentionally eavesdropped something. “Be careful, okay? Liz Beltran is arrogant and has a high self-regard, she is a selfish lady. ……Truly, she is a young lady who fits the word 『villainess』 perfectly.” “You, who are disgusted by the wicked deeds of your villainess fiancée, awakens to the true love with the Heroine and finally reaches the happy ending. I highly recommend Brother x Heroine, so I absolutely want you to do your best, Brother!” A bunch of words she didn’t understand came out of the mouth of Second Prince Wilfred who was together with Alan, and Liz was shocked. “What is a 『villainess』? Why would I be scorned? What did he mean by 『true love』!” Due to too much frustration, against her better judgment, Liz got teary eyes. First Prince Alan, who was the partner of the formal marriage interview of such a girl, addressed her thoughts. “It’s fine. I will cooperate so that you won’t become a 『villainess』.” At least, what Prince Wilfred said to be 『villainess』.

Katalepsis
For Heather Morell, nightmares and hallucinations lurk around every corner, relics of schizophrenia and childhood bereavement. Until she meets Raine and Evelyn, that is — self-proclaimed bodyguard and bad-tempered magician — and learns she’s not insane at all. The spirits and monsters she sees are all too real, the god-thing in her nightmares is teaching her how to surpass human limits, and her twin sister who supposedly never existed could still be alive, somewhere Outside, beyond the walls of reality. Heather plunges into a world of eldritch magic and fanatic cultists, trying to stay alive, stay sane, and deal with her own blossoming attraction to dangerous women. But being ‘In The Know’ isn’t all terror and danger. Sometimes the monsters wear nice dresses and stick around for afternoon tea. Sometimes you find you have more in common with them than you think. Perhaps this is Heather’s chance to be something more than the defeated husk she’d grown up as, to find real friendship and meaning among things like herself - and perhaps, out there on the rim of the possible, to bring her twin sister back from the dead. Katalepsis is a Ancient Greek word which means ‘comprehension’, or perhaps more accurately, ‘insight’. Katalepsis is a serial web novel about cosmic horror and human fragility, urban fantasy and lesbian romance, set in a sleepy English university town.
