Previously-
Jessica- I've been outside with Quinton playing ping pong for a while I came in for some water.
Noah- oh I got you.
Noah went into the kitchen and came back to the living room with a water bottle.
Noah- Here.
He said smiling at me.
Jessica- Thanks.
I said returning the smile.
Blake- So what's up with you and Quinton?
Jessica- Nothing
I said taking a drink of the water.
Avani- Really Nothing?
Jessica- Yeah he's cool.
Blake- So Quintons in the friend zone?
He said laughing.
I felt uncomfortable so I motioned at Avani to help me out.
Avani- They've only known each other for a week.
I nodded my head agreeing with Avani and I think Noah saw how uncomfortable I was.
Noah- Hey Blake lets go work out a little.
He said getting them to leave out of the room. Then Quinton walked in.
Quinton- Hey you wanna just go for a swim.
Jessica- I don't know how to swim and I don't have a swimsuit.
Quinton- It'll be fine, don't even have to get all the way in.
Jessica- Sure, Avani you coming too?
Avani- Yeah I'll be out there in a sec.
I went outside and sat at the edge of the pool. While Quinton dove in and swam to the end of the pool towards me. Then he came up and put his hands on the ground on both sides of me like he was about to get out but he just looked at me.
Then Anthony ran out of the house and did a cannonball into the pool. We all laughed. Later on I still had my feet in the pool sitting on the edge while everyone else was swimming when Noah and Blake walked out.
Blake got in the pool and Noah walked over to the end of the pool and sat next to me.

Noah- Hey.
Jessica- Hey.
Noah- why aren't you swimming with everyone else.
Jessica- Oh I can't swim, I never learned.
Noah- Well let's try this.
Noah said while sliding down into the pool. Then he put his hands on my waist and motioned for me to get in.
I hoped in the pool and my feet couldn't even touch the bottom. Noah was still holding me up by my waist then he slowly raped his arms around me.
Noah- All good?
He asked almost like he was scared to speak. I smiled at him.
Jessica- Yeah, all good.
•
Blake and Noah came out and Blake got straight into the pool.
Blake- Gotcha!
He yelled splashing water in my face. Then Anthony splashed Blake and we all laughed.
Blake- Hey check them out.
He said looking over at Jessica. I looked over and Noah was holding her. I immediately got jealous. What is wrong with me?
I got out of the pool and grabbed a towel then went up to my room.
•Jessica's POV•
We were just floating there. Just me and Noah.
Noah- You wanna see how long we can stay under.
Jessica- I don't think
Noah- Relax, I'll keep holding you and I'll bring you back up.
Jessica- k
Noah- just tap me twice when you're ready.
We went underwater for about 12 seconds then he brought me back up and sat me down on the edge of the pool. Then he got out too. That's when I noticed everyone was gone.
Jessica- I'm gonna go dry off.
I told him walking over to some towels that were sat outside. He walked up behind me and grabbed the towel.
Noah- Your clothes are all wet now.
Jessica- Yeah because of you!
I said laughing a little.
Noah- Come on you can come up to my room and grab one of my shirts or something.

ARMOR
I was created as the ultimate dungeon trap: a living suit of armor that devours any adventurer who dons me. My master created me for his entertainment, leading adventurers to ruin and betraying them at the last moment. This time will be no different. Or so I thought. Now I'm living the life of an adventurer. Hopefully, my companions won't realize I'm not who, or what, they think I am. *Now updating Tuesdays and Thursdays Additional tags I couldn't include: Romantic subplot This story is meant to be a book rather than a serial, there will eventually be an ending. It is also my first book length work so while I intend to do my best, mistakes and issues will occur.
8 471Spire Dweller
The 1st floor of the World Spire has been humanity’s home for as long as anyone can remember. With cities and towns scattered across several million square miles, most residents live out their years within protective walls. Simultaneously guarded and oppressed by powerful cultivators—people who can utilize qi to perform superhuman feats—the average citizen learns early on to both respect and fear those that keep the deadly Spirit Beasts away. When Samantha receives a quest notification to become a cultivator herself, she goes against her family’s wishes and leaves the relative safety of her town to complete it. She knows that becoming a cultivator will change her life, but she has no idea how much the journey will cost her.
8 207The Nightcore Trilogy
Going to space was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime, but for Reece Danielson and his crew, it was only the beginning. As the fresh astronauts aboard the Zhengzhou International Space Station start their on-the-job training, Reece is shown a discovery that changes his entire worldview. It isn’t long before a tragic accident aboard the station sets off a series of events that not only puts the crew in danger but at odds with each other. The events quickly escalate into a man-made apocalyptic incident on the surface of the planet. A virulent plague is prematurely released which transforms everyone into flesh-eating undead, and that is only the beginning of the troubles. There are far worse things down there than zombies and possibly a few of them lurk on the station itself. The Nightcore Trilogy thematically begins with a heavy sci-fi feel coupled to a gritty space-based horror mystery. The story's layers are slowly peeled back, evolving into something much more supernatural, mythological, and high-fantasy-based. It's a mix of elements from survival horror, zombie apocalypses, ancient mythologies, supernatural stories, and harem anime. It contains semi-descriptive sex scenes (traditional and non-traditional), descriptions of gore, profanity, and adult situations, so I recommend it for mature and open-minded audiences only.
8 190HxH: Walking The Path Of Evolution
This is hunter x hunter fanfiction. The MC is born 88 years before the start of the story. Don't worry, he won’t be an old fart when the plot starts. The power will not be gifted. Only earned through hard work and thought out decisions. The MC tries to be rational and calm. Killing when necessary, not afraid of staining hands with blood. The law of the jungle is ever present in the new and mysterious world and only a fool would not adapt. Taking full advantage of opportunities given and carefully preparing for everything that is to come. The future is filled with trials and tribulations, all sorts of challenges and obstacles to overcome. Will he be able to reach his dreams and do what has never been done before? Is his conviction strong enough to withstand the pressure? To stay strong and move forward, to earn the power so desperately desired? To stay in control, even in the face of adversity? Yet some lines are not to be crossed. Without restraint, one achieves nothing. All the power in the universe is useless if you cannot control yourself to use it. “I am no hero. Just myself. Forever am and forever will be. Titles are but words and words are not actions. Why care about what others think? Why hold on to the values of the society I have yet to change. I will bring a new era. The era of truth.” — As of now, I only plan to post this on royalroad and have no plans to change that. Chapters will be --- Harsh critique is more than welcome. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

While in English exists only one word for it, the ancient Greeks with their aim for self-understanding and knowledge found eight different varieties of love that we might all experience at some point:1. Eros (Erotic love) - represents the idea of sexual passion and desire;2. Philia (Affectionate love) - friendship, love between equals;3. Storge (Familial love) - love between close family members;4. Ludus (Playful love) - the early stages of falling in love;5. Mania (Obsessive love) - an imbalance between eros and ludus;6. Pragma (Enduring love) - love that has matured and developed over time;7. Philautia (Self love) - self-love in its healthiest form;8. Agape (Selfless love) - the highest and most radical type of love.(Unless stated otherwise, everything except the art belongs to me.)
