《Wrong Number | Matt Daddario》Chapter 26
Advertisement
Matthew had been acting today and he was filmed. It was hilarious. Each time he looked at me, he would burst out of laughing which was some sort of cute because I knew that he was getting nervous. I was making him nervous. I guess, it was a good sign then.
"Matt was such a disaster today." Dominic said half disappointed as he shook his head. I laughed softly as I was looking from a distance so he wouldn't know that I was watching.
"He is great at acting though." I said and I was honestly surprised by it. I mean I knew he was good because I saw the show but the way he could just switch into Alec was honestly mind blowing.
"Don't get me wrong. Tall feet is talented but he is a disaster." Dominic said and I laughed.
"I see why Matthew likes you." I said as I looked at him. Dominic acted in surprise.
"Really? He likes me. He has never told me that." He joked and I laughed again. Being with Dominic was almost laughing yourself a six pack.
"No really. You are a really good friend to him." I said with a smile and Dominic returned me the warm and loving smile.
"As a really good friend, I am proud that he has finally chosen someone that really cares about him too." Dominic said and I looked shyly down as I smiled.
"Everyone has been saying the same thing today." I said and I was literally so honoured by it too. I knew that Matthew was a great person and I wanted to be involved in his life. I wanted to be a part of it. That's why I was so nervous to meet his friends. I wanted it to be good...

"It is because they have met Esther. She was horrible to him." Dominic said and I sighed.
"Sorry. No ex talk." He said and I shook my head.
"It is not that. Everyone has been saying the exact same thing about Esther." I said.
"He hasn't told you about her?" He asked confused and I shook my head.
"I mean he has. Briefly." I said and Dominic nodded.
"Don't take it as an offence. He just doesn't like talking about her." He said and I nodded.
"I can tell. I know he doesn't." I said and Dominic gave me a reassuring kick on the shoulder.
"Come on. You know he has fallen for you." He said and I looked at him in shock. Did Matthew already tell him about our kiss? Everything?
"He told you?" I asked confused and Dominic shook his head.
"He didn't have too. He smile said enough." Dominic said proudly and I laughed softly.
"Got caught." I said and Dominic laughed.
"I will punish him later for not telling me but now it is your time with him. So make most out of it." Dominic said and I smiled.
"I will." I answered.
"Dominic on stage!" I heard one of the directors call out.
"That's my call. I will see you later if Matthew hasn't kidnapped you yet." Dominic said as he almost ran off. I laughed softly as I shook my head.
"A disaster." I said softly.
"He is funny. Isn't he?" I heard an unfamiliar voice ask. I confused turned myself around to look at the person who I assumed was Matthew's ex.
She had the same brown curls and the perfect body. I have Instagram stalked her. I couldn't stop myself. It was Esther.

"Esther." She said as she introduced herself, holding her hand out.
"Aurora." I said back as I shook her hand. I gave her a small smile. I didn't wanted it to be awkward. Even though everyone told me that she was so what heartless towards Matthew.
"So what brings you here?" Esther asked. I looked at her in confusion. She was straight up.
"Excuse me?" I asked a bit offended. Esther looked at me and laughed softly.
"I didn't mean it like that. Just like. What are you doing here?" She asked as she looked at me with a smile.
"Just here for Matthew." I said and she smiled.
"And you?" I asked as I looked at her.
"The same thing as you." She said as she looked at Matthew. I would almost think that she did care about Matthew in the way she was looking at me but deep inside I knew she didn't.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused as I looked at her. I knew that it didn't make sense. I mean, they weren't together anymore so why was she still here? It was frustrating and not to mention, it was awkward.
"I mean my husband works here so why wouldn't I be here?" She asked as she looked at me with an evil grin. I gasped softly and I really hope she didn't hear me.
"H-Husband?" I stammered as I looked at her. She chuckled and held up her right hand where I saw a ring shining. I looked away from her hand.
"Esther?" I heard Matthew ask confused. I looked over at him and then he looked at me. I could see the shock in his eyes.
"Hey." Esther said as she looked over at Matthew, lovingly. I couldn't be here. I didn't wanted to be here. I took a few steps away.
"Aurora." Matthew said as he looked at me. I opened my mouth to say something but I couldn't. I didn't know what to say.
I felt like everything with Julian was repeating. I knew that everything was too good to be true. Nothing of this should be easy and especially in my life. Why was I so fucking stupid?
"No." I said as I held my hands up. I shook my head as I walked away from him and Esther. On my way, I hit Katherine.
"Hey, Aurora." She said with a smile but when she saw my facial expression, her smile faded away.
"Are you okay?" She asked. I nodded with a smile and swallowed back my tears.
"Sure." I said as I felt like I couldn't breathe.
"Aurora, wait." I heard Matthew say and I closed my eyes. I sighed and opened my eyes again. I turned myself around and looked at him while Esther was behind him.
I can't be here...

Once on the other side, he is greeted by a fantastical world and its inhabitants. his original mission to change this world and have some fun while doing it quickly turns into him making a home for himself and defending it and his new family against whatever ends up coming their way. The story will also follow the POV of Sapphire a local woman who Tom encounters early on in his travels to yield a closer insight into our local population. The story focuses mainly on the interactions between the characters with intermittent action, romance, and the technical side of trying to bring a medieval-high-fantasy people up to speed with more or less modern technology. There will be discussions of mental illness, immense loss, and joy, ranging from the truly heartbreaking to the properly heartwarming. The first chapters are on the short side but eventually escalate to the 3000-5000 word range. especially the early chapters suffer from poor grammar and I am sorry. they are slowly going to be brought up to spec.

8 76Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing
Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!

8 120Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!
