"Ya know, I've kinda always have had an interest in you. I'm honestly surprised you don't have a girlfriend, Zayn. I didn't think you'd call and you'd just brush me off...but you didn't. And that made me really happy." She stared at her fingers as she twiddled with them on the table.
"I'm happy too." I took a sip of wine. "So, what do you do for work, Ari?" I liked using her nickname, since that's all I've known until recently.
"I own 4 boutiques actually. I usually work with the business side of it, even though I have a good sense of fashion. Which explains my outfits everyday I come to get my coffee and cookies." She must work out a lot because those cookies could blow you up in a matter of days of eating them.
"I see, any hobbies?"
"I like dancing and goofing off. You?"
"I like listening to music, drawing, and hanging out." She nodded and she took the last bite of her panini sandwich and downed the last of her water as I did the same with my wine.
"On me." I smiled and paid the bill and left a nice tip, because I know the struggle.
"Shall we?" I stood and held out my arm for Ari. She giggled and shook her head at me as she looped her arm through mine. We walked out into the cool night air and I was happy I had a clean white shirt that had mid length sleeves because the air felt great against my skin.
"I have one last thing planned, if that's okay with you?" She looked slightly confused, but nodded as we crossed the street and kept walking until we met the gravelled path. The path soon led to a bridge.

"What are you planning Mr.Malik?" She said smiling. I shrugged and lifted her up, making her squeal.
"More cheesy things." I set her onto the railing and hopped up beside her.
"Look up." Ari looked up, as told, and smiled widely. It made me feel all warm and happy. God, I'm too sensitive.
"It's amazing. You have an amazing view of the moon." When you looked up all you saw was bunches of trees and right in the middle of it all, was the moon. And tonight it was full and beautiful.
"Yeah, I like to come here on full moons. And tonight just happened to be our date, so I thought, why not?" She turned to me and cocked an eyebrow.
"Date?" My eyes widened.
"If you don't want it to be-"
"Date it is." She smiled as she looked back up. I blew out a sigh of relief and stared at her moonlit skin. She looked absolutely mesmerizing.
"Zayn...I know you're watching me." I quickly looked down in between the planks of the bridge at the flowing water.
"It's cute...you're cute." I slowly looked back at her, to see her looking at me. With those big brown eyes...wait, were they really that big, why are they getting bigger?
"Kiss me." Ari whispered. I pushed my lips to hers, afraid I'd lose the chance, and held her by her hips, as she gripped onto my shirt. Her lips were too soft to be real, they felt great against mine. I was losing air, but I didn't want to stop.
"Zayn."
"Shoot. I got caught up..." I bit my lip.
"It's okay...I liked it." She touched her lips softly and smiled. "Umm...I guess it's time to call it a night?" I nodded awkwardly and got down and helped Ari down too. We walked back to the limo in a comfortable silence.

I can't believe I actually kissed her.

"This is where I sadly leave you." I let go of Ari's hand and she nodded.
"Thanks for tonight Zayn...it was great." She hugged me abruptly and I hugged back. Dang, this girl is warm. She went to turn around, but I grabbed her wrist softly.
"Ariana," She turned around and leaned down very low and pressed my mouth to hers softly. "See you tomorrow." She smiled and nodded.
"See you tomorrow, Zayn."

Beyond?
Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf.

And I am not sure on the tags either. They may change. Bear with it. As always, how chapters turn out is up to my mood.

Monster Soul Online
Monster Soul Online. A virtual reality MMORPG known primarily for one thing: there are no rules. It is a lawless world where humans can shed the masks they wear and unleash the cruel beasts inside. It is in this very world that our story takes place. After our protagonist, Sila, is defeated in a match that was in no way fair, he is forced to venture into this world after his master goes missing. The only clue? His opponent from the duel, Montra, says that he kidnapped Sila's master. Outside of the game, they are but two young men in a vast world filled with many kinds of people. Inside Monster Soul, however, Montra reigns supreme as the Magic Emperor, one of the top four players. Sila, on the other hand, is just starting out, and he has a lot of catching up to do if he wants to get answers from Montra. But not everything is as it seems in this world, and what starts off as a simple journey to find his missing teacher turns into a quest of previously unpredictable proportions. Sila uncovers a world beneath the reality he thought he knew, filled with martial artists capable of incredible feats. From the legendary Tiger God to the peerless Sword Prodigy, Sila will learn about and even meet some of these figures that other martial artists both revere and fear. His quest will push him to his limits and bring out both the best and worst parts of his inner self. His light and his darkness. Whether he makes it out while retaining some part of his original personality or not, only time will tell.

The Thaumatist Incident
The towers fell over a century ago, and the Good King united the land. Under his voice the Thaumatists took the knee or took the sword. The University still stands, but for how long? This story is broken up into two parts. Chronologically, the two parts overlap. Part One Emile, a girl with a Talent not seen since the good king's war as she tries to find help to save her beloved father from a cruel accident. Julie, raised in a small farming village on her quest to become someone people will sing about. Part Two Wendel, a recent graduate of the University, an intense school that functions first as a police force to control the use of magic and secondly as an educational institution. Demetrius, a servant at the school who loses his home and his safety. Edits are ongoing. Reviews and comments will only help the editing the process, and I am grateful for any and all input. So, if you have been reading already, Jericho has been removed. It's been brought to my attention that his chapters detract from the flow of the narrative. They still exist, and are still going to be made available at some point in some way shape or form, but for the time being what happens with him and the king in Puissant city will be off camera so to speak.
