《Safe Haven》Chapter Twenty Five
Advertisement
Friday night arrives and I'm glad the weekend is here, even though we have the geek event tomorrow and just the thought of it makes me tired. I stare at the costume Jamie helped me pick out hanging on the knob of my closet and smile. This girl really has a gift.
My phone buzzes and I check the screen for the notification. Speaking of the devil.
so...
i've been kicked out again
The door is open
"Jess is having a lot of fun lately," I say when Jamie walks in.
"Tell me about it." She puts her things on my desk and sits next to me. "I think I might as well move in with you." We both laugh.
"And you still have no idea who it is?"
"I don't even know if it's the same person! For all I know it could've been a different dude every time."
"Than Jess has some good moves up her sleeves." I giggle and pull her closer for a kiss. "What do you want to do? All I had planned for tonight was a long shower and a movie."
"That sounds good. Why don't you go take that shower while I pick something for us to watch?"
"It's a plan." I peck her lips and go to my bathroom.
The warm water relaxes my shoulders and by the time I'm done, I feel like a brand new person. I dry myself and that's when I realize what I did. Fuck.
I unlock the door and open the tinniest amount possible. "Hey, Jamie."
"Yeah?"
"Um, I kind of forgot to bring my clothes with me... underwear too." Silence. "I have a few options. One, I'll just go out there and get them. Two, you could bring them to me. Or three, I'll just stay butt-ass naked for the rest of the night." She laughs at the last option. "I'm fine with walking out with only my towel, but I don't know about you."

"You can just come out if you want." Her voice is weird.
"Are you sure?" I know she had her mind set on taking things slow, so me walking around in just a towel wouldn't help that idea.
"Yeah, I'll just look away."
"Ok, then." I laugh and get out. She has her face almost touching the opposite wall and I roll my eyes. "I don't mind if you look, but do whatever you want." I giggle and grab my clothes.
"Allie, if I look, I don't know if we'll watch that movie." My face flushes and I stop moving.
"Would that be so bad?" I tease.
"Allison, just get your fucking clothes and put them on, please." I can feel her tension and just laugh.
I quickly put my clothes on right there just to tease her a little more and when I'm done I tiptoe towards her to whisper in her ear. "Hey." She jumps and I laugh. "Was that so bad?"
"Yes." I take a look at her face and see the tension.
"It's ok, don't be so nervous." I smile while grabbing her hands and pull her towards the bed. "Let's watch that movie now."
She takes a deep breath and we sit down on my bed. She presses play and we get comfortable.
I wake up the next morning with Jamie's arm around my waist and her face right in front of mine. I smile and realize that it's the first time we slept in the same bed after we got together. I look at her and lightly brush the dark hair that is on her face away.
I slowly get off the bed not to wake her, and go use the bathroom. When I come back out, I find her eyes looking at me. "Morning, beautiful," I say and get back to her side.

"Morning, gorgeous." I make a face at our exchange, but lean in for a sweet kiss. When we pull away she's smiling. "Thank you for not doing the whole 'I have morning breath thing'. That's silly and the flavor of toothpaste isn't the first thing I wanna taste in the morning." I laugh and lean for another kiss.
Her stomach grumbles and I laugh mid-kiss. "Let's go have some breakfast."
We get up and she heads to the bathroom. I take that time to quickly change my clothes so last night's incident doesn't repeat. Not that I mind her seeing me changing my clothes, but apparently she does right now. She comes back out, starts going through her stuff, and frowns.
"What is it?" I ask.
"I think I forgot my card back at my room."
"We'll get it before we go downstairs."
She grabs her clothes and gets back in the bathroom. I roll my eyes while I get my bag and sit on my bed to wait for her.
When she comes out, she gets her things and we go to her room. She unlocks the door and when she walks in, she screams.
"What? What's wrong?" I rush to her and turn to find out what she's looking at. "Oh my god!" I yell as my eyes go wide and I quickly cover them with both of my hands.
"What the fuck?" she whisper-shouts.
"Morning, girls," Scott says from Jess' bed with an awkward smile on his face.

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.

Romance - plus Judgemental Powers? Completed
Blue was a red headed boy who desperately wanted a girlfriend. So he asked the class beauty to walk home with him. She very nicely refused him. So he asked another girl in the same class, one with an average rating in the social status ranking. She also refused him. So, still desperate, he thinks – “I’m probably at the bottom of the ranking for boys in this class, so how about I ask the girl who is also at the lowest ranking?” The girl’s name was Pink. She said yes. Gulp. “What do I do now?” was his reaction. Well, obviously, have a romance. And, along the way, they get one hell of a lot more than they bargained for. Like, for example, supernatural Judgemental Powers. How did they get those? And that was only the start. The two most insignificant students in their class become famous. Not just in their class or even in their school, but to the population at large. They end up breaking and making the top politicians and rulers of their country. But finally, of course, they get what they wanted. A committed relationship. This is an Esmeralda the Angel of Death story. It follows on from my previous novel “Maybe it would have been a good idea not to wish for a harem?”, however it is a totally separate story with only a minimal overlap in the characters. There is no need to read the first story to enjoy this one. Although you just might enjoy the first story also… This story has multiple characters and multiple Points of View. Every POV change is clearly marked with a new header. Inside each POV section, the POV character’s thoughts are in italics. This story has about 105,000 words (about 380 RoyalRoad pages). It is fully written and proof read (the poor man’s proof read using Word). It has 25 chapters, and will be published at the rate of roughly one chapter per day.
