《Best friends To Lovers ✔️》Chapter 16
Advertisement
*Edited*
Friday was as normal as it was any other day. Brennan collected new and drove us to school. The girls planned to come over after school to help me get ready for my date with Brennan. I'm so nervous for it. I know it's Brennan and we've gone on loads of dates, but he still gives me butterflies every time I see him.
"Hey. So I'm gonna drive back with the girls. Is that ok?" I asked Brennan when school was over. "Yeah that's fine. I have to go somewhere with Zeke anyway. He needs help with something he's planning." Brennan said to me. Now I'm curious as to what Zeke is planning. "What's he planning?" "I'll tell you later. I know how bad you are at keeping secrets." He teased. "Deal." He kissed me bye as I got into Emma's car.
"Ok. So Brennan's collecting you at 5:45. That means we have an hour and a half to get you ready." Emma said as we walked into my house. "Firstly, you'll need to shower. We'll pick out your clothes for you cause we know what you're doing." Steph said to me while pushing me into my bathroom.
After washing my hair, body and shaving, I was out of the shower by 4:15. I have an hour to get ready.
I went out to the girls. They pushed me to sit at my vanity. Brielle blow dried my hair and then curled it for me. Steph showed me the outfit she picked for me. Not caring if I liked it or not. Then Emma started doing my makeup. They got all this done by 5.
All I had to do now was get dressed. The girls picked out a silk devore floral cowl neck dress.
"Brennan will definitely bust a nut when he sees you." Emma said while the rest of the girls giggle. "Shut up. Don't say that." I said back to them blushing.
The door bell suddenly rang. Emma handed me a clutch and told me my phone, lipstick and money(even though she said I won't need it) and gum were in it.
Going downstairs with the girls trailing behind me, I saw my parents talking to Brennan. By the looks of it, he gave my mom flowers and wine. He also had a bouquet of roses in his hands too. He looked so sexy in a suit.
He turned towards me when he heard my heels clicking. "Wow.." That's all he could say. "Thank you. You look good." I said back to him, blushing that my parents and friends were watching our interaction. He handed me the flowers and gave me a peck on the cheek. "Shall we go?" He asked me and gave me his elbow to hold on to. We said our goodbyes and left.

Getting out to his car, he opened the door for me. It took me some time to get in with the heels and the dress. He ran around to his side of the car and we were on our way.
We pulled up outside a restaurant called Lotus. It looked super expensive. "What did I tell you? Nothing expensive." I told Brennan while slapping his arm. "Ouch woman. I'll spend however much money I want on you. Now stay there and let me open your door." With that being said, he turned the car off, got out and came around to my side and opened my door for me.
Walking into a restaurant, there was a really beautiful woman standing at the box asking us for our reservation. "Table for two. Cole." "Right this way handsome." I nearly got sick in my mouth. Like why do they do that? We could easily complain.
Bringing us to a two seater table, she handed us our menus and said a waitress would be with us soon. "Why is everything in French?" I asked Brennan. "Well Livy, this is a French rest." He said back to me like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Well I have no idea what any of these mean. I take Spanish in school." "Well lucky for you Livy, I take French. I'll translate it for you."
For about twenty minutes, Brennan translated the whole menu to me, telling the waitress we weren't ready when she came up to us.
In the end, I just ordered carbonara and Brennan ordered a steak. We couldn't order any wine or anything cause we're underage. The waitress though was heavily flirting with Brennan. He didn't acknowledge her though. He was calling me baby and everything but she didn't get the message. Some girls these days don't know their boundaries.
Throughout dinner, we just talked about random things. When we were finished, the waitress came back and asked if we wanted dessert. I was going to say yes but before I could, Brennan said no and asked for the bill. I was about to question him but he pulled out however much it cost and dragged me out of the restaurant.
We walked to the car in silence. I was really confused because Brennan loves his dessert. "Where are we going B?" I finally asked him. "Well Livy. I thought we could go for ice cream. Benny's ice cream parlour if you want. Maybe when we get our ice creams we can go for a walk to the park?" He asked me. "Yeah that would be nice." I said as he parked outside the parlour.

I ordered two scoops of double chocolate chip ice cream on a waffle cone. Brennan ordered the same as me. He also paid for it. Despite me pestering him to let me pay since he paid for dinner.
Walking to the park, Brennan took his suit jacket off and put it around my shoulders. Such a gentleman.
Brennan got quieter when we made it to the park. He wasn't saying much. "Hey are you ok?" I decided to ask him, sick of the silence. "Yeah I'm ok. Here let's sit."
He guided me over to the bench, bouncing his leg up and down. He was nervous about something.
Shit. Why the hell am I so nervous. She must notice my nervousness. Well here goes nothing.
"Livy." I said to her trying to get her attention. "Yeah. Is everything ok?" Always thinking of others. "Yeah everything's fine. I just uh wanted to say something." She just nodded in response. Shit. My hands are so sweaty.
"So I told you awhile ago how I liked you. Well those feelings have severely developed in these past few weeks going on dates and what not. Spending time with you is amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I guess what I'm trying to say so badly is, will you be my girlfriend?"
I was in shock. I just stared at him. "Please say something Livy." He was getting anxious. I could tell. "It's about time you asked me. Of course I'll be your girlfriend." Before I could even finish he ogled next in for a kiss. "What do you mean it's about time?" He questioned. "You were taking too long to ask me. So I said to myself that if you didn't ask me I'd ask you myself. But I'm glad you asked me." We stayed in the park for about thirty minutes and then he drove me home.
In the car I decided to ask him something. "So.... what was it you had to help Zeke with?" "Oh yeah. I told you I'd tell you. Now when you go home, you can't go telling everyone this ok?" He said to me. "I promise I won't." "I think we should seal it with a kiss." He's cheeky. I leaned over the console and gave him a peck on the cheek. "You know that's not what I meant. Now get over here and give some sugar to your daddy." "Please don't call yourself daddy." I said back to him. This time when I leaned over, I gave him a full blown kiss on the lips. Pulling back, he had the biggest smile on his face.
"Ok so Zeke wants to ask Emma out on a date. So he wanted me to plan the best date for them. It's basically the same as we did for our date. But he's making the food himself and there's no movie. So basically a picnic." I gasped. "Oh my god. Emma's going to be so excited. When's he asking her?" "He said tomorrow or Sunday. And then the date will be Friday." "This is great. I'm so happy for them. She's had a crush on him for the longest of times." I said to him. "Same goes. He told me he's liked her for a long time but didn't think she'd like him back. I'm glad everything will work out for them."
Pulling up to his house, it was 11. He walked me up to the door, gave me a kiss(which kind of turned into a make out session in front of my house) and said goodnight. He walked away with such a cocky walk. I'm sure he's happy he has a girlfriend as much as I am with having a boyfriend. Hopefully no one was around to see our steamy make out session. That's not for anyone else's eyes.
My parents weren't up so I just went straight to bed. Taking my phone out, I texted the girls in our group chat.
"What's up bitches. Your girl has got herself a boyfriend😛"
I just know tomorrow I'm going to wake up with a bunch of texts from them with how excited they are. But for now, it's time for bed after such an amusing night.

The crushing responsibility threatens to break him and his kingdom. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful town. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story. Cover art was done by: Micaiah William If you'd like to consider supporting my work, there is a link to my Patreon.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.

Reincarnated as a Warlock with zero skill
My previous life was just as boring as yours. I was a marketing manager for a flooring company. The biggest challenge? Would the latest colour be called "Grey Oak" or "Oak Grey". Then, tragedy. I was struck down in the prime of my life by a negligent delivery driver and a pallet of laminate flooring - which is significantly heavier than you think. So there I was, smeared on the floor, absorbed in my own self pity. Where would I go? Heaven? Hell. Did I care? Apparently that was not what fate had in store for me. Reborn in a world of dragons and fantasy, I became a Warlock. A pretty darn important one too. The problem, I had little to no affinity to magic and I spent most of my time doing my best to avoid danger. Danger however, would not avoid me. So, with my new life as an amazing Warlock you'd think it would be easy street right? Wrong. Forces gather to move against the Kingdom I am sworn to protect and, whilst my inward allegiance is to whomever is the victor, outwardly I must lead the resistance against the invaders. With my skilled companions Asha - a mage that can actually do magic and Torg - a swordsman sworn to protect me, I can only hope that they distract the enemy long enough for me to run away.
