《Finally》(8)
Advertisement
It's been two weeks since that horrible meeting with my parents and siblings. Today is the date. Today is going to be amazing. Nikki and Dominic are minding Daisy while we go for the whole day. Tom said she could come but we need to be just us, not being parents... well me but ya know what I mean. I loosely curl my hair and do natural make up. I go out and Tom has Daisy dressed. I smile and look away. Tom looks at me. "You look amazing, Clara" said Tom. "Thank you" said Clara, blushing. Daisy walks over. "Nikki and Dom" said Daisy. "Yes their babysitting you" said Clara. Daisy cheers. "She is very happy for my parents to baby sit her" said Tom. "I guess it's because she never had a granddad and grandma to be like that. She needs that" said Clara. Tom picks her up. "She does" smiled Tom. I look at Tom. His amazing with her. He really is.
Tom looks at me. "I know I am an actor and need to head over to America pretty soon for Spider-Man 3 but if you two want, you can come with me?" asked Tom. I look at him. "We'd like that" said Clara. Nikki and Dominic walk in. "Dee it's time for grandparents time. If your family isn't gonna step up... we are" said Nikki. I hug them both. "Thank you" said Clara. Me and Tom leave to get breakfast and then we go to the park to sit on the bench. "You know, Clara... I hated it when we lost touch. My job took me away from you and then we never reconnected" said Tom. "While my past mistakes took me from you. It's weird how everything worked out. What if we're meant for each other and we did not realise it and I dated someone who was an arsehole." said Clara. "Well we're lucky fate bought us back together" said Tom. I smile. "That we are, Tom" smiled Clara.

We decide to go watch a movie. At 1pm. We decide on Scoob and it was great. As we decide on lunch I spot Lillie, Kevin and Josiah. I sigh and Tom grabs my hand. "Hey everything will be OK" said Tom. They walk over. "Clara, Tom hi" said Kevin. I nod. "Clara can we talk?" asked Lillie. I nod and walk away with her. We down. Lillie begins to cry. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to shut you out. I wasn't thinking and I was trying to be the good daughter but I forgot that I had a duty as an older sister to protect you! I am so sorry, I hope you can forgive me" said Lillie. I place my hand on hers. "Lillie. I forgive you. Your my sister and to be honest I was never sure I could forgive you but your my sister and I can't exchange sisters, no matter what" said Clara. We share a hug and go back. "So Tom, how long you two been dating" said Lillie. "Our first date is today. I lied to your parents because I wanted to make them see she's happy" said Tom. "Thanks, she is certainly happy with you" said Lillie.
I giggle and they eventually leave. We head for dinner and we sit down. "Tom.... you could have anyone why me?" asked Clara. "I quite like your personality and you understand me so your stuck with me" said Tom. "Oh wow, I could say the same for you" said Clara. The meal was amazing and when drive home. Tom parks and stops me from getting out. "Will you be my girlfriend? Even after one date" asked Tom. "I'd love too but slowly, like still dates" said Clara. Tom smiles and kisses my cheek. We go inside and say bye to Dom and Nikki. Daisy is in bed and she is knackered, apparently.

8 164Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!

This is dystopian and therefore we of course have a tyrant as a government. They are believers of a world in which only certain healthy people are allowed to live. They are getting rid of all people that are sick, old, of socially unacceptable. Religion is not an option.
8 137Reincarnated Nobility
There is a kingdom in a world of magic where children with the best scores in subjects from agriculture, to politics, to magic are selected to join the prestigious school, Nobility, to be trained as the country’s next generation of leaders. I am one of those children, and I have my eyes set on the position of Queen… but people keep misunderstanding everything! The Queen and the King are never married, by law. They are just coworkers who happen to live in a giant castle. Why do I want to be Queen? Well, I used to be a person from some lame place called Earth, and here the Queen governs magic! This was an otome game? So? (Warning, this story is a definite first draft and my current focus right now is finishing it. Editing will come later) This story can also be found at https://jlynnbattleworthystories.wordpress.com
