I felt the bed next to me and groaned when I didn't feel Jasmine. "Jazzy!" I sat up.
"It's too damn early in the morning for you to be yelling Y/n." She rolled her eyes walking out of her bathroom.
"Well it's too early for you to be out of bed," I opened my arms. "Come to daddy."
"Stop it we both know I'm daddy," she said walking over to me. "I'm the big spoon."
I put my arms down and scoffed. "I let you be the big spoon."
"You sure?"
"Yes because your stubborn ass won't let me be the big spoon anymore."
"And why is that?" She got into bed and laid on her side.
"Come on, I can't control my morning wood." I laid back facing her.
"Yeah but you can control where your hands go." She said closing her eyes.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I frowned.
"Even when I'm holding you, your hands tend to roam to inappropriate places." She said.
I shook my head. "No they-"
"Come here, let's go back to sleep." She scooted towards me and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"I'm not turning around." I said wrapping my arms around her.
"Don't be stubborn Dino." She whispered.
"I'm not being stubborn." I closed my eyes pulling her closer.
She sighed. "Our bodies are too close together."
"You never have a problem with it any other time." I smirked knowing what I was doing.
"Yeah because any other time I'm wide awake, your trying to take advantage of me Y/n quit it." She placed her hands on my chest.
"You didn't have to word it like that, I'm just holding you," I whispered in her ear and she shivered. "It's nice, right?"
She shook her head no. "Yeah it is."
I chuckled. "You really are sleepy." She hummed and her body slowly started to relax. "I can't wait to tease you about this when you wake up." She let out a soft snore and I sighed looking down at her. Man I fucking love this girl, if I were Quincy I would've turned straight just for her. I leaned down and kissed her forehead watching as a small smile appeared on her face. Smiling to myself I closed my eyes and sighed.
I hope she doesn't hit me when she wakes up.
-
"Ouch!" I yelled as I felt a hand slap my butt. "The fuck Jasmine?"
She glared at me. "You sneaky fuck, get up Vanessa's here."
"Why should I care if Vanessa's here?" I rolled my eyes and sat up.
She knew Summer was leaving and she knew Summer was just using me, I don't want to see her.
"Just come downstairs." She said walking out of the room.
"Ohhh I'm Jasmine and I get to boss Y/n around because I'm a big strong man." I mocked her getting out of bed.
"Y/n get fucking slapped!" I heard her yell.I jumped and ran to the bathroom. She scared the hell out of me.
I grabbed my designated toothbrush for Jasmines house and started to brush my teeth. Looking in the mirror I shrugged. At least I know Summer didn't leave me because of my looks, I'm a solid 3.4 on a good day.
Finishing in the bathroom I walked out of Jasmines room and headed downstairs. Vanessa and Jasmine were sat at the kitchen table.

"Hey." I mumbled.
Vanessa stood and walked over to me pulling me into a hug. "Y/n I'm so sorry about Summer," I tensed and slowly hugged her back glancing at Jasmine who got up and went upstairs.
"It's fine," I pulled back. "What's up?"
She sighed. "I know you might be mad at me so I came here to talk to you."
I nodded and walked around her sitting on a chair. "Okay then."
She sat next to me. "Okay, I knew that Summer was leaving for about 3 months now and I'm sorry I didn't tell you but-"
"It wasn't your place, I know," I sighed and looked down. "I'm not mad at you Nessa more like, jealous."
She frowned. "Jealous of what?"
"Summer used me to get over you," I raised a brow. "She didn't tell you?"
Vanessa clenched her jaw. "No she didn't, I had no clue Summer still had feelings for me."
I leaned back in my chair. "So you didn't know she was using me?"
"Of course I didn't Y/n, if that's what was going on I would've beat her ass." She grabbed my hand. "Look, I want to take you out."
"Woah, your coming onto me after your best friend broke my heart?" I asked.
She chuckled. "No im not coming onto you, just trying to get back on your good side."
I bit my lip and looked at the stairs. If Jasmine didn't trust her or was mad at her then Vanessa wouldn't have came within 10 miles of me so, I guess it's okay to go with her. "Okay then, let me go let Jasmine know."
"Hey, you forgive me right?" She asked.
"Like I said, I was never mad, just jealous." I shrugged.
She nodded looking down and I shook my head stoping. "Why didn't you come talk to me yesterday?"
"I didn't want to come see you the day after you found out, I didn't know how mad you'd be." She said.
"Understandable but, I was more sad than mad yesterday." I said.
"I bet." She looked down.
Biting my lip I headed upstairs to Jasmines room. She was laying on her stomach texting. "Whatcha doing?" I asked laying next to her.
"Just texting Chris Brown," she shrugged nonchalantly.
I nodded. "Cool so- Wait what?!"
She giggled. "This is a dream come true, he wants me to be in his new music video."
I snatched the phone from her hand reading the text. "Bullshit, you better get him to do a song with me." She chuckled and I looked at her. "I told you those dance videos would come in handy," I smiled at her. "Good job Jazzy."
She smiled and took her phone back. "Thank you for giving me the confidence to post my first video."
I nodded. "When are you meeting up with him?"
"I was actually meeting him later on today." She said.
"Mhm," I grabbed her chin and turned her head towards me frowning. "If he tries to do to you what he did to Rihanna-"
She rolled her eyes. "How the hell did I know you were going to say something about that?"
I raised a brow. "I'm serious Jazzy, I'll kill for you."
She grabbed my wrist moving my hand. "Same here Dino but, I can handle my own, you should know from all the times I beat your ass."

"Whatever," I stood. "I'm going to hang out with Nessa today."
She nodded. "You sure you want to?"
I shrugged. "Yeah, I kind of miss one on one time with her."
She rolled her eyes. "Remember what I said last night, have fun."
"Yeah yeah, I think my crush on Vanessa is gone."
-
That fucking smile.
"It was great." Vanessa finished her story with a big smile on her face.
"Sounds great, you could've invited me asshole." I frowned.
"You probably would've ruined the fun." She shrugged.
I rolled my eyes. "I swear you and Jasmine are the same person."
"Yeah kind of scary how similar we act," she chuckled putting some ice cream into her mouth. "Now stop procrastinating and finish recording."
I looked at the booth then back at Vanessa who was basically sitting on my lap. "I would love to but, you kind of trapped me."
She looked down and then groaned. "Okay, I'll move," she went to move and I quickly grabbed her thigh.
"But I don't want to move so, stay." I shrugged.
She shook her head getting up. "Nope, your label is expecting five songs before your meeting with Normani, which is later on today, and you only have to record one more, get it done."
"Fineee," I looked down at my phone with my list of songs. "Which should be my final song, Easily or Dive?"
She hummed and tapped her chin. "Dive is the song you still need to record the guitar part for right?" I nodded. "Well do that one, let's make your life a little bit harder."
"Alright," I rolled my eyes slowly getting up and walking into the booth. "You know what to do so get your ass in that chair." She crossed her arms and raised a brow. "Please?" I rolled my eyes.
She smiled and sat her ice cream down walking to the panel. "That's better." I put my headphones on and picked up the electric guitar before giving her a thumbs up making her start the music.
"Maybe I came on too strong. Maybe I waited too long. Maybe I played my cards wrong oh, just a little bit wrong. Baby I apologize for it. I could fall, or I could fly, here in your aeroplane. And I could live, I could die. Hanging on the words you say." I closed my eyes as I realized how in my feelings I was yesterday.
"And I've been known to give my all, and jumping in harder than, ten thousand rocks on the lake. So don't call me baby," I strummed the guitar getting more into the song. "Unless you mean it. Don't tell me you need me. If you don't believe it. So let me know the truth, before I dive right into you."
I opened my eyes looking at Vanessa who was frowning. "You're a mystery,
I have travelled the world and there's no other girl like you, no one, what's your history? Do you have a tendency to lead some people on? 'Cause I heard you do, mm." Looks like Summers getting her song anyway.
"I could fall, or I could fly, here in your aeroplane. And I could live, I could die, hanging on the words you say. And I've been known to give my all, and lie awake, everyday don't know how much I can take." Closing my eyes again I gripped the neck of my guitar.
"So don't call me baby, unless you mean it. And don't tell me you need me. If you don't believe it. So let me know the truth, before I dive right into you." I bit my lip as I started to play the guitar solo. Gosh Jasmine and Quincy are going to make fun of me when they hear this song. I can already hear Quincy calling me a pussy.
"I could fall, or I could fly, here in your aeroplane. And I could live, I could die, hanging on the words you say. And I've been known to give my all, sitting back, looking at every mess that I made." Shaking my head I continued. "So don't call me baby, unless you mean it. Don't tell me you need me. If you don't believe it. Let me know the truth, before I dive right into you, before I dive right into you, before I dive right into you."
Putting my guitar down and taking off my headphones I sighed before walking out of the booth. Maybe I should've thought of all that before I fell in love with her but nope, I said fuck it why not.
Vanessa cleared her throat. "First try good job."
I smiled. "You know Summer warned me about getting into a relationship with you when it should've been vice versa."
She nodded and sighed. "Please don't hate her Y/n."
I scoffed sitting in the chair next to her. "I don't hate her, I'm just pissed off."
She nodded and bit her lip. "You remember when I asked you about your past with Jasmine?"
I nodded. "Yeah?"
She sighed. "I just think you and Jasmine would be good together."
I frowned. "No way, she's my best friend I wouldn't-"
"Come on, you and her obviously have feelings for each other," she said.
I shook my head and scoffed, me and Jasmine? I mean yeah I used to like her but, that's it. She's just my best friend, my beautiful, funny, asshole of a best friend. My eyes widened and I quickly looked at Vanessa who raised a brow. Fuck this, I'm not falling in love with anyone else. "Vanessa I don't have feelings for her, are you trying to convince me to move on like Summer was?"
"Yes actually," she said.
"Well I don't want to move on with Jasmine." I said.
"Whatever you say," she frowned and looked down clearing her throat. "By the way, your voice gave me literal goosebumps," she held up her arm showing me her goosebumps.
"Wow, do I have what they call, a pantry dropper voice?" I asked.
She chuckled. "Hell yeah."
I smiled. "Good job changing the subject," I looked at the panel and pulled up the song.
She leaned her head on my shoulder. "I could tell you were uncomfortable."
I looked down at her and bit my lip. "I don't have feelings for her."
She nodded. "You don't have to convince me baby."
I gulped and played the song. "Wanna meet Normani?"
"Is that even a question?"
-
"It's amazing to meet you," I said fan girling.
"It's great to meet you too, your voice is amazing." Normani smiled sitting across from me.
"She said my voice is amazing." I whispered to Vanessa.
She chuckled and shook her head. "And what do you say?"
I smiled back at Normani. "Thank you."
Normani chuckled. "And you, Vanessa Moe girl, you are killing the game."
"Oh my god she knows me," Vanessa whispered to me.
"And what do you say?" I asked.
Normani chuckled along side her manager, Ali, who shook her head. "You two are cute."
"Yeah I am pretty cute thanks," I said glancing at Vanessa. "She's okay too I guess."
Vanessa smacked my arm as the opened and in walked my manager Lilly. "Hey, hope I didn't keep you guys waiting."
"Not at all." Normani said smiling.
Lilly walked in and sat next to me after giving Vanessa and I a quick hug. "So, let's get down to business."
Ali nodded and leaned forward. "Okay, Y/n is an up and comer and Normani is all anyone can talk about after she released Motivation-"
"Which was great by the way, especially the music video like damn-" Vanessa pinched my leg and I jumped clearing my throat. "Sorry continue."
Normani snickered. "I think collabing with me will be a great boost for Y/n's career."
I nodded looking at Lilly who frowned. "The thing is," Lilly started. "Your signed to RCA Records and they tend to steal a lot of people from us."
"What does that have to do with me making a song with Normani?" I asked nervously. I really wanted to work with her.
"You'll have to sign a contract with our company in order to sort out the money, who releases it, and things like that," Ali said. "Signing the contract technically means your not with a label since this is your first collaboration which means that if we wanted to, we could try and sign you." She finished.
I scoffed and looked at Lilly. "That's what your worried about? I would never leave you, you gave me a freaking gift card to The Cheesecake Factory, they won't be able to top that I promise."
Lilly chuckled and looked at me before sighing. "Okay, we can make this happen only-"
"Yes!" I yelled.
"Y/n stop cutting people off." Vanessa mumbled shaking her head.
"Oh sorry mom." I rolled my eyes. She glared at me and I quickly looked forward.
"Anyways, I want to discuss this contract a little more before she signs, deal?" Lilly held out her hand.
Ali nodded and shook it. "We can discuss it now."
I pouted not really wanting to stay for this part.
"Great while you two discuss that is three will get to know each other better." Normani said standing up and gesturing towards the door. I smiled and stood up grabbing Vanessa's hand and pulling her towards the door.
"Okay but answer your phone when I call." Ali said.
"You too Y/n." Lilly said.
"Yes ma'am," we walked out of the room and down the hall.
"So girls, what are we doing?" Normani asked.
"Whatever you want to do, I could always eat." Vanessa said.
"I literally got you Taco Bell before we got here." I scoffed.
"A girls gotta eat I don't blame you," Normani chuckled pressing the elevator door. "I know this spot that makes the best Mexican food."
"Perfect." Vanessa said as we stepped into the elevator.
I shook my head. "Don't complain when you get the runs."
"Shut up Y/n I won't get the runs," she shook her head. "I only had one Crunchwrap."
"That's all it takes." Normani said.
"Thank you," I said. "I'll buy you some toilet paper."
Vanessa rolled her eyes. "Your not supposed to agree with her." She turned towards Normani.
I looked down realizing I was still holding her hand, our fingers now intertwined. Hm, didn't even realize that.
"Sorry I'm just looking out for you," Normani chuckled as the elevator dinged.
We stepped out and walked out of the building. "Also a little tip, the paparazzi are assholes so don't get offended if they find us and start talking shit."
"Normani if they say anything rude about you I will spazz out." I said meeting her eyes.
"Awww, well if your fighting so am I." She high fived me and opened the doors.
"And I'll find a way to the restaurant." Vanessa mumbled.
-
"I had a lot of fun hanging out with you two, let's do it again sometime." Normani said pulling away from the hug.
"Yeah I'm down," I leaned towards her. "Let's not tell Vanessa though."
She laughed and Vanessa rolled her eyes. "I'll call you so we can start on the song."
I nodded and we said our final goodbyes as she got into her car and pulled off.
"Okay Y/n, start writing and figuring out what you want this song to be about, it's always a good idea to have lyrics before you make a song with someone else." Lilly said.
I nodded and pulled her into a side hug. "Got it, don't stress, this song will be great."
"It better be, bye Vanessa." She got into her car and I turned to Vanessa.
"Okay have a fun walk home." I smiled and turned towards my car.
She smacked her lips and grabbed my hand. "Bullshit."
I chuckled and turned back towards her. "Fine I won't make you walk, are you going straight home?"
She shrugged. "I don't have anyone to go home to so I wouldn't mind hanging out for a little bit."
"And you want my company?" I leaned down.
"Ew no, I want Jasmines company." She said.
I rolled my eyes walking back to the car. "Now you can definitely walk."
"Oh don't be a baby." She chuckled as I opened the passenger door.
"Just get in." I mumbled.
She came to stand in front of me and smiled up at me. "You mad?"
I rolled my eyes. "Don't start."
She pouted. "You still love me right?"
"More or less." I shrugged.
She pushed me and got into the car. "Ass."
I chuckled and kissed her cheek. "Don't be a baby."Closing the door I walked around the car and got into the drivers side.
"Don't touch me with those lips again." She wiped her cheek.
I scoffed. "You weren't saying that last time I kissed you."
Her eyes widened. "Low blow."
I smirked. "I can go lower if you want."
She smiled softly turning to face the window. "Just drive."

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
