《Best friends To Lovers ✔️》Chapter 13

*Edited*
I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. I rolled over and looked at my clock. It was 10 in the morning. So Brennan would be in school now. On my locker, there was a note left beside my phone.
"Livy,
You looked so peaceful so I didn't want to wake you just to say goodbye. I won't be over after school because I'll be getting everything ready for our date. Wear comfortable clothes. I'll see you at 6.
B xx"
I decided to get out of bed and go do some housework before I had to start getting ready for the date. I ate a quick breakfast and was on my way to clean the house. I finished up around 2 so I decided to make myself some lunch before I go shower.
I made myself pasta with tomato sauce. It was sooooo good. By the time I finished making the food, eating it and cleaning up afterwards, it was 3:30.
Now would be time enough to get ready for the date. I'd say I stayed in the shower for about an hour at least. I had to make sure I shaved properly. Now I'm not saying anything will happen tonight because I'm so not ready for that. But I do like to have a smooth body all over for myself. In Brennan's note, he said to dress comfortable. So that's what I did.
(What Olivia wore for her date)
I put on some light makeup and curled my hair. I was ready by 5:45. Now all I had to do was wait. I'm so curious as to what we'll be doing. He said he had to prepare for it so it must be something homemade.
At 6 on the dot, the doorbell rang. I went and opened the door. There Brennan stood taking my breath away like he always does.

(Brennan's outfit)
"Hello Livy." "Hey B." "You ready to go?" He asked me. "Yeah let's go." We walked hand in hand to his car after I locked the door. Getting into the car, he placed his hand on my thigh. "So, where are we going?" "Now that, Livy, is a surprise." He had a teasing smile on his face. I just laughed in response. The rest of the car ride was silent besides the humming of the radio in the background. Brennan's hand was drawing small circles on my thigh. It had me feeling something I never felt before.
"Here put this on." Brennan said while handing me a blindfold. "Was this the plan all along then? You're gonna murder me?" I said laughing slightly. "Trust me. I would never want to kill someone as gorgeous as you." His breath fanned over my neck and had me shivering under him. "Stay here and I'll help you get out." I heard Brennan get out of the car and heard him open my door.
He put my hand in his and helped me out of the car. "My senses aren't good with or without a blindfold on so I'm going to need a lot of help." I said to him. He walked behind me gripping my waist. "Don't worry. We're nearly there." He whispered into my ear. "Ok. You can take it off now." I slowly undone the tie at the back and lifted the blindfold away from my eyes. I gasped at the beautiful sight in front of me.
"I had Zeke help me set it up. And my mom helped me cook food. Do you like it?" He asked me sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. "Brennan. I love it. It's perfect." I said while swinging my arms around his neck. "Come on let's sit and eat some food and I'll get the movie ready."

The movie turned out to be Les Miserable, my all time favourite musical. His mom made us chicken nuggets, tacos and salad. For desert it was a fruit salad with some yoghurt. We also had loads of snacks. Even though I've only ever been on two dates, and those two dates were with Brennan, it definitely is at the top of my list of dates.
"So.... did you enjoy the movie?" Brennan asked me when the movie ended. We'd already eaten and we left no food behind. It had gotten dark since the movie is over 2 hours long. "I did B. How'd you know that that was my favourite movie?" "Oh. Well since you haven't been in school the last few days, I asked the girls what you'd like to do on a date. Their suggestion weren't ones that I thought you'd like so I decided on this. I had asked them what your favourite movie was and what snacks you liked." He told me while a blush creeped up around his neck.
"Aw B. You didn't have to go through so much trouble for me." "I did. You're very important to me." With that being said, he started packing everything up, leaving me shocked.
The ride back home was quiet. He pulled into his drive at 10:30. You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun.
We got out of the car and started walking up to my house. I unlocked the door and turned around to face him. "B, I had such a great time tonight. Thank you so much." I didn't realise how close we were standing to each other. "You're welcome. By any chance, do you remember what I told you the other night?" I shook my head because I had no idea what he was talking about. "We were in your room. We were about to kiss. But I told you that I wanted to wait until I brought you on a date." I was blushing already. "Well Livy. I just brought you on a date. So you know what that means." Slowly, he started leaning closer to my face. He put his hands on my face and caressed my cheek. He placed his lips on mine. I had no idea what I was doing so I copied what he was doing. The kiss didn't last long. We pulled away a minute later breathlessly.
"That was the best first kiss." He said to me, chuckling at my reaction. "I understand why I've never kissed anyone but I don't understand why you haven't kissed anyone." I said to him. "Well Livy, I think we have the same reason as to why we never kissed anyone before." We stood in silence with his arms still around my waist.
"I should get going. Let you get some sleep." Brennan said to me. I was kind of disappointed that he was leaving but he's already spent so much time with me and I don't want to seem clingy. "Yeah. Thank you again Brennan for the best night." "You're welcome Livy. Oh and don't forget to lock up. I'll sleep peacefully knowing your safe." He gave my lips another kiss before he walked home.
I turned inside and locked the door and put the alarm on. Here's to another lonely night. At least I'll go to sleep remembering this past night and what I got up to. Tomorrow's a new day.

The Glyph Queen
When Winnie was thirteen, her settlement taught her how to fire a rifle. Her school practiced drills in case raiders came, and the town grew crops in their greenhouse-adapted homes, which were the only places warm enough during the worldwide nuclear winter. The Lakiran empire invades—a corporate-born nation overseen by their corporate-born queen, Victoria Paladino. They ride silent planes whose repulsion field veered bullets away. Three years of occupation later, an exemplar visits—a member of Victoria’s oversight committee rumored to read minds. He tells Winnie that she may have a unique mental power, or a flair. At the empire’s capital, the queen herself tutors Winnie to help her reach the full potential of whatever power she may have. Meanwhile, in post-war Nigeria, a streetwise teenager named Naema sees a different side of the empire. Between corruption and oppression, everyone lives in squaller. People fight over assembled food pastes. She too is told she has a unique flair, not by the empire, but by a fugitive woman who is the last vestige of an ancient witch coven, and she knows a dark secret about what the exemplars do to people like Winnie and Naema. Updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The most recent chapters of The Glyph Queen are available on its main website.

8 115Sod's Law (Dropped)
This fiction has been dropped, you're more than welcome to read it anyway (there is sort of an ending). But you have been warned... Sod's law is a more extreme version of Murphy's law. While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome. For example, concepts such as "bad fortune will be tailored to the individual" and "good fortune will occur in spite of the individual's actions" are sometimes given as examples of Sod's law in action. This would broaden Sod's law to a general sense of being "mocked by fate". In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. - Definitions of Sod's Law on Wikipedia. The protagonist, as many before them, and many who followed, thought they were just entering a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing-Game). Unbeknownst to them however, was a short paragraph in the Terms & Conditions, that, upon agreement, would actually transport them to a fantasy world, loosely based on the game they thought they were entering. - Something anyone could be forgiven for, no-one reads them after all. In this new world, they discover that people are born with “Traits”, a System recognised, ability, skill, or talent, that they are born with. Sod's Law was not a trait they, or anyone else for that matter, would want. Pure madness follows. Yup, this is about a character transferred to a fantasy game-world with the worst luck imaginable. This is my first fiction so I apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that may be made. Hopefully it is readable, and if so please tell me! But if it's not, also tell me, but in a constructive way if at all possible? Due to the nature of the “Trait” the story will be dark in places, with plenty of gore and profanity, hence the tags. There may also be scenes of a sexual nature, but nothing full on – sorry guys but you'll have to go elsewhere for that.

8 112Crucis
Three factions oversaw the continent of Jumana. They were the Palace of Anima, Church of Arbor, and Seditio. The Palace of Anima worshipped Fate. A divine principle by which the order of events has been inevitably predetermined. The proxies of the Palace were the Moirais as they were blessed with precognition, great mana talent, and high affinity with Fate. The Church of Arbor revere Conscience. A moral principle that inhibits or influences the thoughts or actions of a person. Their advocates were the Fae, children born from the Tree of Truths. An ancient, sentient tree who bore the Fruit of Good and Evil. The third, Seditio, a clandestine society that was established by the Enlightened One. A peculiar individual who ate the Fruit of Good and Evil and lived to tell the tale. Seditio believed that comradeship was thicker than Fate and that Man should seize their own destines without the help of the Moira. Athos Dimitte Ferre, heir to the throne of the Palace of Anima. Was blessed with the gift of foresight and talent for mana. On one fateful night, however, he was cast away by a tragedy, and all was slowly taken away from him. "Why did the Seditio attack us? Why couldn't I see this, did my foresight fail me? Or perhaps, the Church of Arbor interfered?" A man who fell from grace learns to bare his fangs. ~~~~~ Updates every MWF 5PM EST ~~~~~
