《Unexpected》Gasoline On The Fire
Advertisement
A knock at the door brings me to my feet. I open the door to find Sonny's worried face.
"What's up, Skye? You said you wanna talk about something important?"
"Come on in."
He enters the apartment and sits on the arm of the couch.
"I don't want to give you the wrong impression or idea. I just want to clear the air. I don't think that we would be able to be together."
He doesn't seem phased by this statement. He actually smiles.
"You don't think I already that?"
"What do you mean?"
He laughs and crosses his arms, looking oddly relaxed.
"I see the way you and Gavin look at each other. You two are clearly meant for each other."
I don't know what to say or do. How do I even react to that? Yesterday it was Andy telling me a similar thing, now it's Sonny too? I shake my head, trying to clear it.
"Then why were we doing whatever it is we were doing?"
"If I have to make my brother jealous in order for him to realize the good thing he has, damn right I'm gonna do it. By showing interest in you, I only fueled his jealousy. Now let's just see what happens."
"So this was just an elaborate scheme to get Gavin and I together?"
He thinks a second before nodding.
"Pretty much."
"So what would you have done if I really did fall for you? What if I wasn't interested in Gavin at all?"
Sonny rolls his eyes. A car door slams in the parking lot outside.
"I've seen the way you two look at each other. There is no denying that you two have some form of chemistry."
Someone starts climbing the stairs to the apartment. Gavin must be home. Sonny realizes this too.

"Speaking of my brother..."
As if on cue, Gavin opens the door.
"I got pickles at the store."
His eyes land on Sonny and his face twists to anger.
"Need something, Sonny?"
He says Sonny's name with a bitter tone. This doesn't phase him.
"Yeah. Just coming to say hi to a beautiful lady, that's all."
Gavin's jaw ticks. I glance between the brothers, examining their expressions and evaluating the situation. I take that moment to throw gasoline on the fire. I wrap my arms around Sonny, kissing him on his cheek. When I pull away, Gavin is seething mad.
"Alright Sonny, you've overstayed your welcome. Leave. Now."
Anger is dripping off of every word he says. I smile on the inside. Sonny's right. Gavin IS jealous.
"'Ight. I'll see you later, baby."
Right in front of Gavin, Sonny grabs me and gives me a kiss that leaves me weak at the knees. He leaves, winking at Gavin.
When the door closes behind Sonny, Gavin storms out of the room. The bathroom door slams and the shower turns on.

Ancient Bones: The Changed Ones book 1 (Post-Post Apocalypse LitRPG)
Is it truly an RPG Apocalypse... if no one can see the RPG? Generations after the Fall, Mankind has achieved a balance in a world it is no longer the master of. But your prospects in this Malthusian world are limited. Johanna Milton and her friends have an answer: delve into Ancient ruins, avoid Changed beasts and mana pockets, and salvage Ancient materials, collectibles, and trinkets to sell. It pays well if you avoid the perils of the Ancient world. But when they find the skeleton of an Ancient, their lives take a strange turn. Suddenly, Talents straight out of fantasy novels become theirs. While they try to make sense of what happens, eyes turn to them, to the four who seem to break all rules. Or are they merely following them? Because, in the Beyond where he's spent 150 years waiting, one dead Ancient knows the truth. Douglas Moore has played those games often enough when he was alive to make sense of the System that rules the Changed world. He can no longer act on his own, but he has access to the Interface. And four people for which he can bring whatever it takes to face the world. Change is coming. The Changed Ones is a slow-burn litrpg fantasy trilogy (Ancient Bones, Ancient Books, Ancient Bonds) set on Earth, 150 years after the RPG Apocalypse... which mostly failed. It is an homage to the venerable ancient RPGs of the Golden Box era, the Baldur's Gates, and many others, offering adventure where You must gather your party before venturing forth. Keywords: LitRPG, realistic setting, low-leveling, post-post-apocalypse, fantasy earth, slow-burn, secondary POVs, female primary MC, team adventure, worldbuilding. Trigger warnings: casual swearing, adult innuendo (no explicit scenes whatsoever, though). Oh, and potentially a bit of politics. Bonus content: a Litrpg Easter Egg hunt. With lots of eggs across the book, some easy, some hard to find. Current score: 6/20 (20 eggs, 6 found) Publication schedule: on hold until September for book 2.
