I walked into my apartment
I pulled off my jacket and lighted a cigarette
I sighed looking at my phone
No messages
I knew i was denying that i was fancying van but i wanted him to say goodbye since he was leaving in a few hours.
I got up and poured myself a glass of wine looking outside.
A few hours later van still didn't call or visit me
I was kinda upset about it
I went to bed but heard a door open
"Hello?" I said "it's me mate" i heard Becky say
I sighed actually hoping it was van
"In the bedroom" I said turning around in my bed "you okay?" She asked looking at me
"Yeah why wouldn't i be okay?" I asked
"You look fucked"
I sighed "it's nothing honestly" I said
"You are lying" she said "it's nothing" I said again she studied my face and nodded
"It's about van isn't it?" she asked me sitting down "no" I whispered
"You are such a terrible lair" she chuckled
"I'm not lying"
"Mate, i know you two kissed and he took you outside last night at the bar"
"So?"
"You like him."
I woke up late, too late for work
I must of forgot to set the alarm
I turned around seeing Becky sitting up in bed on her phone
"I woke up in the middle of the night hearing footsteps, was that you?" i asked she nodded "Bob called me" she said in a morning voice
I frowned "did he visit you though?" I asked
"Yeah yesterday before i came here we went for dinner"
I turned around facing the wall
I stood up and grabbed my oversized t-shirt
"You wanna go out today?" I asked her

I sat in this new bar with Becky
"You okay?" She asked
"Yeah why?" I asked looking at her
"You don't look okay" she whispered
I sighed "didn't sleep very well" i lied, well it was the truth but not the main reason
She nodded "when are they coming back?" I asked her "who?" She said handing me a glass
of wine "Bob and that" i whispered
She licked her lips and studied my face
"It is about van, isn't it Lexi?" She asked me
I sighed finally giving in "it is" I said
"You do fancy him don't you?"
I looked at her
"Yeah i do, but it's whatever right" i said
She shook her head
"No mate, it's not whatever it's sweet, seeing you having feelings for someone again and that" she said smiling i knitted my eyebrows together looking at her "no? It isn't is it? It's not sweet it fucking it fucking terrifies me how i fancy him, i met the guy three or four days ago becky, and he didn't even say goodbye, we kissed didn't we?" I said looking at her
"Right, he should've said goodbye, they aren't coming back soon by the way" she said
I shook my head "twat" I said under my breath
"Van?"
"Van yeah"
"They are coming back on nine December" she said, my facial expression changed "but that's not so long i mean-" I started "December 2016" she whispered with a weak expression
That's a fucking year.
I stood up "where ya going?" She asked
"Home, i have work in the morning"
"You always say that"
"Well it's the truth innit?"

"Ah Collin haven't seen you in a while" i said sign pure sarcastic "you okay?" He asked
"Of course i am!" I said laughing
"You don't seem like okay" he said with a nervous unsure chuckle
I studied his face "you fancy drinking a beer at mine?" I asked "sure, class" he said with a grin laying on his lips
We walked into my apartment as we arrived there and walked into the kitchen
"That black jumpsuit looks amazing on ya" he whispered looking at me
I grabbed two bottles of beer and handed him one "cheers" I whispered lighting a cigarette
"How are you and rockstar, first you leave me alone when i was having a class night with ya and then you don't even show up at work" he said with a smirk on his face
I took a drag of my ciggy and nodded
"We talked outside of the bar and i forgot to set the alarm last night" i said he nodded
I looked at my beer and then at him
"You look very attractive tonight Collin" I whispered smiling up at him
It wasn't myself who was talking
"Oh?" He said with a cheek smile on his face
I nodded "yeah you do" I whispered leaning in
"So do you darling" he whispered leaning in as well "can you do me a favor?" I asked he nodded "can you kiss me?"

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.
