《Loved by Tate Langdon》Chapter 7
Advertisement
We are on our way to Sally's to get my turquoise hair dye. I cant believe he offered to help, such a sweetheart. I don't really know how hes gonna help. Maybe ill have him hold my little mirror behind me so I can see the back of my hair. Yeah I think that's what I will have him do.
*in the car*
"So, how many times have you dyed your hair?" he asked me curiously.
I get this question a lot and as soon as its asked I immediately think 'wow this is like the hardest question ever'
"Um..... that's a really hard question. But, I think maybe around.... uhh.. 20, 25 times??" I said sounding like I wasn't exactly sure.
"Well shit. How hasn't your hair fallen out?" he asked laughing.
"Dude, that only happens when you bleach your hair a million times." I told him exaggerating.
He just laughed and continued on driving.
*five minutes later*
When we arrived to Sallys and walked inside, he looked around like he had no idea what he was doing. I found it a little funny how confused he was. I walked in front of him so he could follow behind me. I went into the semi-permanent hair dye aisle and looked for manic-panic's atomic turquoise.
"I found it!" I said excitedly. I was a little worried they weren't gonna have it, but they did.
"That doesn't look like a turquoise." he said sounding serious.
I cant believe I actually had to explain this to him haha. xD
"Oh my god, dude, whenever you apply it blonde hair it turns lighter, duhh." I said seriously yet joking.
"Oh, my bad, haha." he replied laughing.
I just laughed and went along to find the bleach. I found the purple packets of sensitive scalp bleach and had Tate carry it.

We went to go checkout and I started shaking. It's my anxiety. I cannot checkout things at the cash-register.
Tate must've seen me shaking.
"Hey, you're shaking again. Are, are you okay?" he asked obviously implying that he saw me shake whenever I first met him.
"um, yeah. I just have anxiety and cant check things out." I said honestly but about to cry.
He grabbed the things out of my hand and asked for the money.
Whenever I gave it to him, he held my hand and he walked up to the register and paid for it for me. It was so sweet.
"Thanks for doing that for me." I said to Tate while walking out of the store.
"No problem, I hate to see you so nervous." he said.
I just smiled at him till we got into the car. The drive home was silent until we were a block away from my apartment.
"So, are we gonna do this now or what?" he asked me.
"Yeah, if you want to." I told him.
"Alright, so taking a guess... we're dying your hair in your bathroom?" he asked but most likely knowing that answer.
"Yup, haha." I replied.
Whenever we got into my house I saw my mom.
"Hey honey, hey Tate." she said to us smiling.
"Hey mom, we're gonna go dye my hair." I told her.
"Oo, nice what color this time?" she asked me.
She is always cool with me dying my hair. She has told me herself before that she loved seeing new colors on my head.
"Turquoise, it was Tate's idea." I told her.
I look over at Tate and hes blushing just a little bit.
I giggle to myself and look back over at my mom.

"Oh, right you and Tate are together now right." she said to us raising her eyebrows up and down.
I quickly grabbed Tate's arm and pulled him up the stairs with me shouting, "Bye, mom!"
Tate's POV:
Awe, she told her mom about us, how cute.
We're in the bathroom now and we're about to dye her hair. She went into the closet in the bathroom and grabbed a shirt of which looked like her hair dye shirt bc there is different colors all over it.
"Get out for a sec so I can change." she told me smiling.
"Oh what, I cant stay?" I asked her laughing and then she laughed and pushed out the door.
She didn't take more than 15 seconds. She opened the door back up.
"You can come in now" she told me.
I walked in and shut the door behind me. She was taking out the bleach, opened it up, and poured it into a bowl. She poured the developer in there, too.
While she was mixing it I asked, "How long do you have to leave that stuff in?"
"Um.. 40 minutes."
After she got done mixing it she started applying it to her hair. I decided to join in on helping her.
*40 minutes later*
"Alright, the times up and I need to rinse this out. Ill be right back, stay here." she told me. And I did exactly so. I just sat on her bed for about 5 minutes twittling wih my fingers.
She got out and came in dressed and had a towel in her hand scrunching her hair with it. She looked so cute.
"Alright, I need to blow dry my hair." she told me.
"Why?" I asked bc I honestly didn't know why she couldn't just apply the dye to her hair wet.
"Because, the labels always say apply to dry hair, I don't know why." she told me honestly.
I sat on her bed while she sat on her floor blow drying her hair which took like ten minutes i would say. I never really noticed how thick her hair was. I also didn't notice her hair was curly. She had always had it straight whenever i would see her.
"Oh, i didn't know your hair was curly." i told her.
"Haha, yeah it is." she told me laughing a bit.
"How come you never wear your natural hair?" i asked wanting to know, bc it was so beautiful.
"Its too hard to deal with." she told me honestly.
I just smiled as she went over hair with the brush again.
We walked back into the bathroom and starting dying her hair. She just had me hold her mirror so she could see the back of her head.
An hour passed of letting her hair dye sit.
"Alright, now i gotta go rinse this out, too. Promise you'll still love me bc ill look different?" she asked me actually sounding serious.
"Yes, of course, Paris. I love you for more than your looks." I said as i looked her straight in the eye.

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.

The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]

Flawsome
>> Featured Staff Pick on Tapas.io! “Imagine someone who likes you so much, they make you like yourself.” Looking at sixteen-year-old Neo Favre, there isn't anything to point out that would explain him being heavily bullied. He has loving parents, a healthy amount of sibling rivalry to overcome every day. He can be funny, he is nice, he isn't an annoying know-it-all nerd. He's just like any other teenager attending Haven Highschool. Except one thing; Neo suffers from OCD, and his irky habits are solely the reason for his classmates to make fun of him. But as much as he tries to hide his annoying habits of counting literally everything, entering a class without touching the floor right in front of the first desk, tapping light button's to the beat of "we will rock you" and any other small tic, his fellow students know, and they use it to bully him endlessly. Neo just wants it all to end, but right when he worked up the guts to put his actions where his mouth is, Calo show's up to save the day, and maybe his week. And who knows, maybe even his life.

Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
