Testing Fate
Part 26
*Selena’s POV*
“What were you thinking?” Taylor yelled as she paced around the bathroom waiting for those long 5 minutes to be over. The 5 minutes that could change your life in a heartbeat.
“I just wanted to give James and Leigh a baby,” I sighed sinking my head down.
“You wanted to give them a baby or yourself?” She questioned taking me by surprise.
“Oh please Selena. I know how bad you wanted a baby. How all of a sudden you want to give what you’ve been dying for away? You were going to say it’s for them and then ‘change you mind’ when the time comes so you can have it,” she said.
“You really think I would stoop that low?” I said in shock.
“You did this behind Justin’s back so yes. Yes I do,” she said crossing her arms across her body.
“Well it’s too late now,” I said rolling my eyes as the timer on my phone went off.
My breathing hitched as I picked up the little stick.
“What does it say?” she asked.
“Happy?” I asked tossing she the negative test.
“Yes. Now you can TALK to Justin about giving James and Leigh a baby. You’re a couple now. You have to make decisions together,” she explained.
“I better get home,” I said picking up my bag walking out of her master bathroom.
I rushed out the door before she had an opportunity to say anything and hurried home.
“Jay?” I called out as I walked into the house. “I’m home!”
“Hey baby,” he said kissing my cheek automatically making me smile.
“Hey,” I said breathlessly after a heated make out session.
“Sel are you okay? You’ve been all over me for like weeks now. I know in irresistible and stuff but I mean, I need a breather,” he said taking a step back to look at me.

“I just love you a lot. We have a lot of time to make up for,” I said with my best acting smile.
“Anyway, your mom called and so did James a Leigh which I thought was kind of weird. I didn’t know you guys made up,” he said walking over to the notepad by the phone.
“Oh yeah, it’s no biggie,” I said brushing it off. I would have to call them soon and tell them not to call the home phone again. To be honest, I don’t even know why I still have it. The only person who still calls me on it was my mother.
“So what did you do today?” I asked changing the subject.
“You know the usual. I just hung out with Milk and Fredo. Guy stuff nothing interesting,” he said plopping down in front of the tv.
I walked over to him to have his arms opened for me. I smiled and accepted laying myself next to him.
“What did you do?” he asked kissing my neck.
“Hung out with Taylor. She had some new music she wanted to play for me so yeah,” I said hoping the sounded believable.
“Was it any good?”
“You know I always think her stuff is good,” closing my eyes as his kisses became longer. “What happened to needing a breather?” I asked in a rugged voice.
“Breaks are for the weak he said moving so he climbed on to of me.
Boys are so easy to trick.
*Justin’s POV*
For the last two weeks or so Selena has been all over me every single day. Not that in complaining but I don’t know, I guess it was kind of weird for me because when we were together years ago she wasn’t like this.

Suddenly thinking about that made it all click for me. How could I have not seen this before. It was all there right in front of my eyes and I was too blind to see it.
“Sel?” I asked as we cuddled in bed.
“Hm?” she asked half asleep.
“I know what all this is about,” I said softly only to have her jerk out of my grip sitting up on the bed to look at me full on.
“What?” she said with owl eyes.
“You keep wanting to be with me because you’re afraid I’m going to leave you again so you’re trying to get the most of it while you can,” I said explaining her motifs.
“Yeah,” she said with a sigh. “You caught me. I guess I’m just scared to lose you again.”
“Oh baby,” I said pulling her back into my arms. “I’m not going anywhere. I’m here to stay this time. I mean it, too.”
I felt Selena nod against my chest as I kissed the back of her head.
“I love you Selena,” I whispered softly into her ear causing her to shiver.
“I love you,” which came out muffled due to the fact that her head was buried in my chest.
I could really get used to this, I thought to myself. Everything seemed so easy. I never wanted it to end. I wanted to lay here forever with Selena. Just her and I.

The Trials of Bethany
Bethany, is a young girl who didn't expect anything more from her life than to spend her time churning butter and trying to ignore the abuse of her fellow village members. In any other world this would be a reasonable expectation for a person in the middle ages. But Bethany was lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look at it. Because her world was about to get a whole lot bigger, and a whole lot scarier. The Trials of Bethany, is a Gamelit story of a system arriving on earth in the middle ages with the characters being teleported away regularly to face trials to earn their skill levels. As such there won't be a flood of skills however there will be constant progression and other hidden treats. The story will be evolving as it's written and as always aspects of the story/world are prone to change. This is my first serious attempt at writing and my first time publishing anywhere so all constructive criticism is welcome. Currently uploading Tuesday & Friday with occasional bonus chapters.

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe. It's unfathomable, utterly evil, and likes to be called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic, and he'd be damned if he let something as small as this set him back. When Damien started his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy. However, when he's assigned to room with a strange girl that has magic that even Henry is wary of, Damien realizes things might not be so easy. He sets out to accomplish his life goal of becoming a powerful mage, all the while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that's created a persona to act like a teenager, and a new roomate that's far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles to deal with the rammifications of the monster within him, a disturbing fact comes to life: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane, and he's the only one that can stop them. NOTE: This story is progression fantasy with some very basic litRPG elements (such as a wristband that shows a character's stats). It is not a full on litRPG - it's a progression fantasy story with litRPG elements. The story will contain some romance, but it will not be explicit nor will it take over the story. It starts off slow, but will pick up speed quickly around chapter 26. Enjoy! My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror was origonally started as a way to thank my patreons. I will be keeping the patreon updated 15 chapters in advance. Enjoy! Cover art by Skyedrun!

Crafter's Passion (AKA Gleaners' Guild)
2038, California. Stan is doing his mandatory "volunteer" service years on a collective farm when he encounters Thousand Tales, a game that offers immortality to the super-rich. He can't afford to have his brain uploaded like those elite customers, but maybe he can turn a profit out of the game instead of just playing it. Not as a legendary swordsman or a brilliant wizard, but as a dealer in the junk no one else seems to want. If he plays his cards right, he can draw the attention of both the farm's supervisor and the game's ruling, meddling AI. Should he, though? LitRPG. Part of the world of "Thousand Tales", a novel series on Amazon, though no knowledge of it is expected. This story is around 12K words long. I'd appreciate feedback to help write a much longer version! Updates every few days. Cover art from game-icons.net, by Lorc, CC-BY. Update! This story was originally called "Gleaners' Guild". It came out on Amazon under the name "Crafter's Passion" and has many reviews there, thanks in part to the support of RR readers like you. Thanks! It even has a sequel, "Crafter's Heart".
