Chapter 15, Dress Shopping
Boys are weird, that's why they're called boys and not men.
The day was dragging and I was exhausted already, once the bell rang to go home, I didn't hesitate to grab my stuff and run out.
I didn't want to bump into anyone which was why I decided to run out, once I got outside of the school, I decided to wait for Xiomara so she can walk home with me.
When she finally came out, she was walking with Jaysean and she was smiling from ear to ear.
I watched as the exchanged phone numbers and then walk away but not without giving each other a goodbye hug, I felt like a proud mother.
Xiomara noticed me and she looked embarrassed, I laughed at her face and we began to walk to my house.
That's when I decided to tell her everything that was going on, she hugged me tightly when she found out that Jaden and I were on a break.
Although we were on a break since this morning, I was already over it.
But I wanted to show him that I could be perfectly fine without him since he seemed to be find without me, but I can't lie, it was killing me.
As we entered the house, Alana and my father were on the couch.
They looked up and smiled at the both us, they already knew who Xiomara was since I was always over at her house or calling her.
"We should go dress shopping!"
Alana exclaimed as she got up, the idea popped in her head and she decided to say it out loud.
Nobody was talking so it looked a little crazy, but then again dress shopping could take my mind off of the whole taking a break thing.

"Alright, yeah let's go!"
I smiled, Xiomara looked at us with an uneasy look.
I looked at and grabbed her hand, I pulled her into the kitchen and placed my hands on her shoulders.
"What's wrong Mars? Don't you want to go with us for dress shopping?"
I asked quietly in case something happened and she was either ashamed or embarrassed of it.
Xiomara looked at me and played with a strand of her curls as she bit her lip, it was an uneasy lip bite.
"It's not that, it's just.. I don't have any money.."
Xiomara responded silently, I looked at her and smiled softly.
"I'll pay for you, god you had me worried."
I replied as I grabbed her hand and walked back to the living room, we left the house and walked to the car.
As we got into the car, I buckled my seatbelt and began to fill Alana in on everything.
Boys are weird, that's why they're called boys and not men.
Alana spoke, I laughed at the sentence and smiled as she pulled into the mall's parking lot.
We got out the car and walked inside, quickly rushing over to different stores to try on different dresses.
"We should host a Halloween party, wouldn't that be cool?"
I suggested as I got inside of the fitting room, I changed into a gorgeous dress.
It fit me nicely but it wasn't my type of dress, I took it off and put on a different one.
"Actually the school's hosting one, should we go?"
Xiomara asked, we stepped out of the fitting room and looked at each other.
The dress was nice but I could tell she didn't like it, she saw the same thing in me and we decided to switch dresses.

"Yeah, we can go together. If you'd like to go with me."
I answered, Xiomara looked at me with raised eyebrows before she started laughing.
"Are you asking me to be your date to the dance?"
Xiomara asked, I looked at her smiled shyly and nodded.
We both smiled at each other and decided to go shopping for some Halloween costumes, we wanted something super cute but nothing inappropriate.
"I remember being a little girl scout!"
I gushed as we stepped out of the fitting room with the costumes, Xiomara looked at me and smiled.
Xiomara didn't get a chance to try out for anything really, she's been focused on school and if not that then it would be her sister or abuela.
"You weren't missing out, I promise you."
I reassured her, which was true because everytime I sold cookies there would always be a weird man trying to get me inside of his house.
Boys and men are so weird, but oh well.
"Girls we're leaving, I hope you found everything you've been looking for."
Alana told us, we both nodded and decided to pay for the dresses that we found last minute for the costumes.
We left the mall and got in the car as we began to jam out to Gracie Abrams and Lorde, I love these jam sessions.
My friends and family always knew how and when to cheer me up, even when I believed it was impossible.
I thank them for everything, they're truly the best and that was a definite fact.
"Call me if he bothers you, you know projects love you!"
Xiomara shouted as she got out the car and walked to her building, I laughed and nodded as we blew kisses to each other.
I sighed as I watched her figure disappear, I can't wait for the Halloween party now.

8 161Almighty Dung [Dropped]
Have you seen the future? I have not, nobody did, no one can. I see...have you heard of apotheosis' prophecy? What about it? Many didn't take it seriously, probably because nobody could crack its mysteries, but the indestructible prophecy rock has recently crumbled. It is a sign that things will change. ...What did the prophecy say? Sigh, you really don't know anything. There was a furnace drawn on the prophecy rock. There were three objects in it, named meaningless crown, black star and incomplete cross. When three signs appear the beast will awaken. Has the meaning been cracked? There are many hypothesis, but nothing concrete. The first object could have relation to king of some sorts, but in this vast universe there are many worlds, counties and kings. Who can really guess its meaning? It can also be metaphorical. What about black star? They say the second clue leads to eclipse, but this also says nothing. Third one? Cross is the symbol of divinity. The cracked cross might mean a lot of things, like person who wants to go against progenitor's ideas and laws and forcefully achieve divinity...It could also mean destruction of divinity, but something like that should be impossible... You're overthinking things. How could gods stay idle if someone is threatening their reign?Also, even if somebody is forcefully awakening, the gods will be alerted by commotion and won't let it succeed... Say, do you think that awakening beast is the one who will try to become one of us? Most likely. No, it's hard to say. The prophecy can't be that simple. This is nothing but wild guesses from our side. Alright, let's stop with depressing stuff. I found a nice place not too far from my domain constellation. Really? What's special about it? Nothing we've not seen before, except for a rare delicacy. They call it chocolate. Oh? Is it delicious? Yes, much better than slime candies you've been fond of. Are you free now? Of course! Then it's my treat. Be careful though, the sovereign over there is a bit low key, but very strong. You need to get to know world's customs first, we don't need extra trouble. No problem. We have nothing to do anyway, haha. What are we waiting for? Lead the way... Ark I - Invasion of thousand kingdoms (Chapter 1-???) Ark II - Nocturnal feast (Chapter ???-???) Ark III - False divinity (Chapter ???-???) Art by sandara on deviant art

8 285Dark Desires (BDSM)
"I can't love you." I whispered softly. For the first time in my life I was scared, because I did love him, but once he found out about everything...He would leave me. I didn't know if I could handle him leaving me."Just allow yourself to feel me." He whispered.Slowly entering me, he filled me to the brink. He wasn't my submissive, he was my Dominant, the only man I allowed to have full control over me, my body.There were many things that I could revel, but each hard thrust of his body he forced me to take, I relinquished my control to him fully.Because sometimes, it's as easy to take control as it is to give it up.*This focuses on the emotional as well as the physical aspects of BDSM. There will be mature content in most chapters as well as mentions and acts of rape, as well as many others situations that people may not feel comfortable with.
