《Stranded》Chapter 13: My very first birthday on a island in the middle of nowhere
Advertisement
Becca's P.O.V
I open my eyes and hear a enthusiastic voice say "Happy Birthday!" Wait what? I immediately sit up. I see Noah holding a banana with a candle stuck on it. I couldn't help but be thrilled. I make a wish and blow on the candle.
"I am sorry it's not a cake." Noah apologizes as I split the banana in half and offer him half. He hesitates and pulls out a coconut. "Here it's for you. I know it's not the best, but you know birthdays have to celebrated even when you are in the middle of nowhere." He says smiling.
I take the coconut from him and open it. The coconut is like a box and inside there was a pearl bracelet. The pearls are shiny and they are so smooth. The bracelet looks very real. I love it, the shine, the colour. Everything! I feel Noah's nervous eyes on me as I cradle the bracelet. "Do you like it?" He asks nervously. I pick it up and put in on my wrist. "I love it! Noah, thank you!" I exclaimed, flinging myself into his arms. His arms curls around me and holds me closer.
I look up at his eyes. Noah wasn't anything like the rumours I heard about. He was sweet, caring, fun and hot. For once, I actually make my brain shut up and follow my heart.
I decide to take a risk, at least if I get hurt, I'll know better next time. I lean in closer. I kiss him. He holds me tightly as if he thinks I was going run away. I run my fingers through his hair. My arms snake around his neck. I pull away and stay in his arms.
"Thank you." I said, blushing, suddenly realizing what I had just done. I look down, embarrassed.

"Your welcome." He says. I will not look up. I will not- Dammit!
His hair is slightly tousled. His eyes are twinkling with amusement and I look at him. His eyes soften as I look at him.
"Noah?" I whisper.
"Yeah, babe?" He replies. He smirks, probably thinking I was going smack him or yell.
Instead I whispered, "I like you, too" I hated the way he made me feel. I felt girly, weak and vulnerable. I buried my face in his chest. Oh my god! Did I really just say that?
"I knew it! " He says to himself, almost smugly. That breaks me out of this stupid trance. I huff and walk towards the water.
"Hey, where are you going? We aren't finished yet, babe." he calls out, suddenly I hear splashes coming from behind me.
I start running in the water. The water is so heavy, I start swimming.
I look behind me, he's gone. Yes! I won. Before I can turn around and do a victory dance. I crash into something solid. I yelp and sink. As I rise to the surface I look up to see Noah's smirk.
I splash his face. He splutters. I laugh at his expression. He lifts me up and throws me back into the water. I squeal.
I pull him in with me.
Noah wasn't just somebody who I liked, he was somebody who was comfortable with who I was. This might be the start of something new. I thought as I leaned in for a kiss.

Mindful Beauty
Damien Petrotti barricaded himself within his logical, black and white walls, believing there is no area for second chances, for grey areas, or messy emotions. When he first meets the quiet and soft-spoken Ella Cortesa, a Spanish, delicate girl, he can't help but dislike her naivety and ignorance of the world. He lives in the court, deciding between right and wrong, and she lives advising people, giving them psychological help. He's not as cold as she thinks, and she's not as naive as he thinks.A modern combination of mind over heart, or is it heart over mind?•••Ch. 39 Excerpt"Thank you for having the patience with me." Damien broke the silence, almost inaudibly when he began to feel Ella's full body trust him enough to begin to fall unconscious over him.Thinking that Ella wouldn't respond, Damien was ready to close his eyes and also go to sleep, but then he felt Ella's cold hand give him the smallest and most adoring squeeze on his warm fingers, her hum of something incoherent before she stilled completely, her breathing falling deeply.Even in her sleep, she could sense Damien, she would respond even in unconsciousness, and that made Damien's heart skip a beat."To say that you are my whole existence and life would be the biggest understatement, my Ella." Damien sighed, incredulous that he had been blessed with such a beautiful and extraordinary human.
