《Urban Divinity》68

My heels connected to the sidewalk as Tasha finally pulled up to the docks. My eyes widened as I looked at the giant fancy boats, each one glistening with fairy lights as rich people conversed and laughed quietly.
I look over to Tasha, "We in the right place?" I whisper yelled as she walked around the car, "Girl, yes. Are we gonna act like your boyfriend isn't loaded?" She laughs as she grabs my hand and leads me along the docks. I felt so out of place as some people stopped and stared. I kept looking forward as a familiar face came into view. My eyes widened as they landed on Dion.
His suit was a classic crisp black and white look but he always had to make it shine as his watch and rings glittered on his fingers. I didn't even realize Tasha had left and my feet were walking on their own until I stopped right before him, "H-Hi.." My voice was soft as he eyed me up and down. I felt like my heart would leap out my chest as his hand moved to my lower back, "You look amazing.." He finally spoke up and I felt like my legs would turn to jello.
I've heard his voice a million times and yet I'm never prepared when he opens his mouth. My eyes watched his lips as he talked about me, "You're so beautiful.. Everyone is looking at you.." He slowly lead me up to the yacht. He stepped first and took my hand before helping me into the boat, "I barely noticed.. I'm too busy looking at you." I mumble softly and watch his eyes lock onto mine, those deep brown orbs almost made me lose my breath.
His lips lifted into a smile as he guided me to the deck. My eyes widened at the table prepared, "Oh my goodness.." I gasp softly at the romantic candle lit table. I let him lead me to a chair and watched him pull it out for me, "Madame." He said smoothly and I had to hold in my girlish giggles as I sat down and let him push me in. I bite my lip as I watched him sit down across from me, a big smile on his face, "Do you like?" He snaps his finger and a waiter appears from below deck, he pours sparkling champagne into our glasses, "Hello Sir and Madame.. The boat will be taking off shortly and then dinner will be served." I smile brightly and nod my head as Dion chuckles, "Thank you." The waiter bows before leaving.
"I love it so so so much!" I gush excitedly and look around the boat as it slowly pulls off from the dock. I look to Dion who watched me, "I was nervous you wouldn't, in all honesty." He speaks up after a moment and I look at him confused, "I love everything you do. Why would this scare you?" I tease and he laughs softly before shrugging, "I dont know.. I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable and stuff.." He trailed off as his eyes looked behind me. I turn around to the waiter carrying out a large bag.
"O-Oh goodness." My eyes widen as he places it next to me. I look to Dion, "Go ahead. Grab the first gift." I slowly reach inside and pull out a long thin box. It's soft velvet material made my heart jump as I slowly opened it. A gasp left my lips, "It's beautiful.." it glittered wonderfully under the moon light as I held it out of its box. I've never seen a necklace sparkle so much as I looked at Dion with wide eyes.

He laughed as he got out his chair and ears to stand behind me, "I'll put it on for you." He gently took it from my hands, much to my appreciation. My hands were shaking so much from holding something so expensive. I gently held my hair out the way as he carefully placed it around my neck, "Wow.." I gasp softly as I heard him clasp it. I turn around in my chair to face him and melt as he puts a finger under my chin, "I cant stop falling deeper in love with you.." He mumbled softly as our eyes connected.
I smiled as he slowly bent down and pressed a kiss to my forehead. I reach up and grab his cheek as I move my lips to his. The kiss was soft and sweet as I slowly stood up from my chair. His hands moved to my waist as my arms moved around his neck. I didn't realize music was playing until he broke the kiss and rocked us slowly along. A small laugh left my lips as he sang along, "At laaaast..My love has come along.." He dramatically sang and I couldn't help my laugh as he shook his head soulfully.
"My lonely days are over..And life is like a song." I join in, earning a loving look from him as his hands pulled me closer. I let my head fall on his chest as my eyes closed, listening to his voice, "At last.. The skies above are blue." He sang softly and rested his chin on my head, "My heart was wrapped up in clover..The night I looked at you.." I sing again and listen to his heart speed up.
My own felt like it was going to jump out my chest. I knew everything he had planned was leading to something big. He had thought everything out perfectly and I could tell by the look in his eyes this wasn't a regular date.
I slowly stood back up and looked into his eyes, "What is all this for?.. The nails, the dress, the boat.. I'm being so spoiled right now." I laugh softly and he presses another kiss to my skin, "Because, you deserve it. For putting up with me and loving me.. You deserve more.." His thumb rubbed slow circles on my hip as we swayed slowly.
"You definitely deserve more.. You saved me and still try to convince me I saved you.. I should be giving you all this." My hands moved to hold his cheeks gently, my thumb rubbing his smooth skin as I watched him lean into my touch, "We both deserve a happy ending.. and I promise we're gonna get it." He pressed a kiss to my palm and placed his hand over mine.
The sound of the boat engine cut and we both looked out on the vast water. We were alone except for the stars in the sky. I slowly turned around in his arms and leaned my back against him, enjoying the view as he hugged me close, "You never finished opening your gifts.." He chuckled softly and I shrug, "Can I open them later?.. I just wanna enjoy this." I close my eyes and let him sway us as the music kept going.
I didn't know how long we stood there. It felt like seconds but the changing songs and the sounds of boats filling the water around us woke me from my mind as I looked up at Dion. His own eyes were closed as he kept swaying us, humming softly as his hand slowly rubbed my stomach.

"Baby." I call out softly and he opened one eye to look down at me, "Hm?" I laugh at his calmness, "Can we eat that dinner you got us?" His lips lifted into a smile as he opened both eyes, "Of course, love." He grabbed my hand and lead me back to our table before waving the waiter back over, "Dinner please." The water quickly nodded his head and disappeared.
I slowly slipped my heels off and laughed as Dion slipped his own shoes off, "My feet hurt too. Stiff ass leather." We both burst into more laughs as the waiter came back with sea food and sides. My eyes hungrily scanned our plates and I didn't notice Dion was watching me until he burst out laughing, "Go ahead and dig in. It's only us from now on." I didn't need to be told twice as I picked up a shrimp and happily popped it into my mouth.
My eyes rolled at how good it was, "Oh my.. this is so good!" I look to Dion who was tearing into a crab leg, "I made it myself... The rice, the greens, the mash potatoes, every thang." My eyes widen and he nodded his head proudly, "Took me a minute to learn how to make it but I'm a master now. Ain't nun I can't do for you." He smiled widely and I could help my big smile as I stood up and leaned over the table to give him a big kiss.
He met me half way as our lips met and we shared some spicy seasoning. We both laughed as we dug into our food. "Well I'm making our next date dinner. It's gonna be something real good." I nod my head as I break a crab leg. He smiles as he watches me, "You look so sexy tearin up that food.. Yo nails look good too." I laugh before wiping my hands clean and showing him my nails, "Aren't they?! They look so cute with this dress too!" I excitedly smile and he nods his head in agreement, "I cant wait to test them out." His pressed a kiss to my hand as his eyes locked with mine.
I could feel my cheeks warm as I looked back at my food, "We can definitely test them out tonight... If you want to." I peek back up at him and laugh as he excitedly nods his head, "Look at you.. A cute ass Wolverine.." He smiles and I laugh loud as I wave him off, "Shut uuup. I usually get them shorter but I think I love them long." I crack into another crab them and smoothly slide the meat out.
My mouth watered as I greedily dipped it in butter and brought it to my slips, sucking the meat right off. I could have moaned from the taste.
I look over at Dion who watched me carefully, "Do it again." He add one of his crab legs to my plate and I laugh as I open another one and French it in butter, this time giving it to him. He greedily took it just like me, making us both laugh.
"How you crack em like dat? Mine stay breakin.." He pouted as he tried it my way and broke the whole leg in half. I laugh and scoot my chair next to him as I taught him how to crack it right.
Soon we were both dining like kings as we tore up our food. We both were leaning back in our chairs with messy fingers as we laughed and talked about anything under the stars.
"Sir.. The countdown is in thirty seconds." The waiter appeared from nowhere once again, making me jump and laugh softly as he sent me a smile. I look to Dion who's face looks nervous, "You okay?" I gently wipe my hands before wiping his face, making him laugh, "I'm okay, baby.. Just follow me." He stood up and took my hand in his before carefully making me stand up. We walked to the side of the ship and he turned to face me, "I have something important to ask you." My eyes widened as he slowly lowered to one knee.
"In all my years of living, I have never met anyone as amazing, smart, beautiful, or as loving as you. I knew the moment I saw you that you were the perfect one for me and to this day I still can't believe you fell for me. Will you, Jocelyn Savannah Davis, Marry me?"
I could barely get a word out as my head nodded wildly, "Yes yes yes yes yes!" Tears ran down my cheeks as I held out my hand for him to place the ring. He smiled as he stood back up and placed a kiss on my lips. My arms wraps around his neck tight as I kissed him hard.
Fireworks exploded in the sky behind us as people cheered and bottles popped open. I barely listened as I focused on my future husband.
He gently broke the kiss as he laughed and turned me around for a picture. I knew my mascara was a mess and my face was red from how much I was crying but I smiled through it as I held up my ring finger and smiled for the picture.
"You're going to be my husband! You're all mine!" I scream excitedly and watch as he laughs and brings me in for a tight hug, "I was so nervous.. this feels amazing." He mumbled softly against my head as he held me as tight as he could.
I peek up at him, "Of course I would say yes. You should have gotten the dang hints, dummy!" I laughed through my tears a I stood back and looked at my ring again. It sparkles under the bright fireworks and I could have sobbed harder from how much I loved it.
Dion pressed a napkin against my wet cheeks as he laughed, "Jocelyn Savannah Miller." He said my name slowly and I could feel my heart stutter as I nodded my head, "My husband.. You're all mines.." I giggle as he pressed a kiss to my lips, "And you're all mines.."
Don't worry, we gettin a epilogue and cute scenes before I officially end the book. I just wanted to say thank you for all the support. :) it's been a nice run

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

(First Draft Old Version) Ruins Of Isulia ~ Book 1 : Awakening of the Emarine
My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version. **************** Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people. 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. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. 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 and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :) I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.

Children of The Sky: Heartcore
In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask. Well, allow me to show you the life of Reynard Foxtale, one of The Children of The Sky. *Warning. For those who don't like lengthy explanations or long talks, this might not suit your taste. However, the setting of my story does not adhere to most of the main stream fantasy/sci-fi settings. So, you might find my ideas unique or a little too weird and complicated or both. Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
