"Guys I'm hungry." Cassie complained.
"You're always hungry." Kelli replied laughing at her.
"But this time I'm serious I feel like I'm about to die, can we get something to eat?" Cassie begged pouting at Kelli who then looked over at me and Chanel. "Yeah I could eat a burger right now." I shrugged.
"Alright let's go." Cassie smiled widely.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I screamed as A car swerved in front us stopping inches away from my body. A wave of anger flew over me and next thing I knew I was on my way round to the drivers side.
I banged on the window until the door opened and Jace stepped out.
"You?!"
I looked back at the girls then at him. "Are you fuxking crazy? You almost killed us."
"Almost. I could if I wanted to." He replied unfazed by the current situation.
"What do you want?" I asked but he ignored me and just looked over at everyone who was waiting on me and trying to figure out how I knew him.
"You guys can go inside I'll be there soon."
"Are you sure?" Chanel asked glaring at Jace.
"Yeah." I smiled and they nodded and went inside the restaurant. As soon as they all went inside he grabbed my arm roughly and threw me against a his car.
"Owe!" I screamed. "You can't just be throwing me around like this!"
He grabbed my face roughly and made me look him in the eye. "Shut the fuck up." I pushed his hands away from my face. "Don't tell me what to do, you ain't my daddy."
"Shut up before I fuck you up and you know I'd do it."
I swallowed hard feeling the cold metal of his gun against my waist. This man had a bad habit of pulling his gun out on me and I was getting tired of it.
"Your phone broke?" He asked pulling a blunt out of his pocket. "No why?" I asked honestly not understanding the reason for his question.
He nodded and lit his blunt. "What did I tell you before you left the club?"

I shrugged turning away as he blew smoke into my face. "Don't play with me Nicki." He stepped closer to me, trapping me between his car and him.
I sighed remembering what he was referring to. "You said to call you, I was meant to but I've been busy and-"
He cut me off by placing his phone in my hands. "Put your number in."
"Why?"
"Just do it." I rolled my eyes and typed my number in. "Can I go now?" I asked once it was saved in his phone.
"Nah I don't trust you I gotta call that shit and make sure it's really your number."
"It is, why would I-"
"Stop talking."
I crossed my arms over my chest annoyed. "You know you're so rude."
"I'm not rude, I just feel you talk to much and if I let it happen you'll say something reckless."
"You don't even know me."
"I know you got a smart ass mouth and a stank attitude to go with it."
"Jace I'm really hungry can I go please?" I asked. "What are you doing tonight?"
I shrugged before answering. "Working maybe."
"I'm gonna call you at 10, make sure you answer if you don't want me to come looking for you again."
I nodded and he stepped back.
"You can go."
I quickly jogged to the restaurant.
"So are we just gonna sit in silence and act like what just happened outside didn't happen?" Cassie asked breaking the silence.
"Nicki?"
"Hm?" I answered looking up from my menu. "Are you gonna explain?"
I sighed putting down the menu as I prepared to tell if all. "Remember me and Chanel went a club on Friday?"
"Yeah well I met him there, he's kinda the owner...anyway one thing led to another and we ended up fucking. That's it." I summarised keeping the story short.
Chanel raised her eyebrows giving me the 'oh really?' Look. "That's it? Only she missing out the most important part... he's crazy as fuck."
"We figured. The way he handled you out there."
"Well I don't know about the rest of you but I think he's good for you Nicki." Kelli said surprising everyone, usually she was against this type of stuff; one night stands etc.

"It's about time you finally got a nigga brave enough to check you."
"Girl bye." I laughed waving her off.
"I don't care how brave he thinks he is I'm still gonna talk my shit regardless."
"You say that now. I bet $100 that in two weeks you won't be talking reckless no more." Cassie mumbled with a smile on her face.

I woke up to my phone ringing loudly.
I slid my finger over than answer icon."
"Hello"
"You was sleep?" He asked and I looked over at the time. "Yeah I got in from work about an hour ago."
"Alright. I'll make this quick then. I know you think my club is trash but I'm throwing a party there in two weeks invite only. You can bring Chanel and those other bitches you was with today."
"Don't call my friends bitches!" I frowned angrily.
"That's what they are."
"So am I a bitch too then?" I asked.
"Nah, I just think your bark is louder than you bite."
"What does that mean exactly?"
"It's means you like to talk but there's no actions." He clarified.
"That's because I only let you see the nice side of me." I smirked to myself.
He laughed loudly into the phone. "That's your nice side?"
"Yeah, if I wanted to I could ruin your life in second."
"I see, so you're a little 5ft nothing savage." He said whilst laughing.
"5'2 actually." I corrected him. I was little but that didn't mean nothing. I was 5'2 in high school fighting 6ft bitches.
My mind set was and will always be 'Fear nobody but God'
"You still sleepy?" He asked. "Not really but I got some cleaning to do so can I call you back tomorrow?"
"No I'm not done talking to you yet."
"Seriously?" I whined.
"I meant what I said, I wanna get to know you better."
"I don't see why. We're not together and us being a thing isn't gonna happen anytime soon. I've heard about you."
"Oh yeah? What did you hear baby girl?" He asked and I could feel myself getting hot. Hearing him call me baby girl in that tone made all my feelings for him hit me at once.
"Nic, you still there?" I heard pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah sorry, uh I heard that you've killed people and that you're a player." I told him the things I'd heard about him.
"A player? Nah I'm ready to settle down , I've been waiting on the right girl to commit to tho. I think I've found her but she stubborn."
"So are you not denying the killing part?" I asked realising he ignored the first part of my statement.
"Where I grew up its kill or be killed, I ain't really had a choice. I don't regret it either."
"How old are you?"
"25. What about you? I really can't remember what you told me." He said and I smirked twirling the ends of my hair. "That's because I didn't."
"Tell me." He insisted.
"It's rude to ask a woman her age."
"Does it look like I give a fuck about what's rude. Now tell me."
"Nah."
"Alright then if you won't tell me your age tell me something else about you."
"I was born in Trinidad. My dads Trini, my moms Puerto Rican/ Boricua ."
"Exotic. I like it. So your mom being Latina, that mean you can speak Spanish?" He asked.
"Yeah but don't ask me to speak it. Jace I wasn't lying when I said I had to clean up, I don't wanna hear Chanel's mouth I gotta go." I said thinking about how mad Chanel would be if she came home and I still hadn't cleaned the house like I promised.
"You live together?"
I nodded as if he could see me. "Yeah that's my best friend."
"Alright, you can go now I'll call you tomorrow. Bye."
"Goodbye Jayceon ." I sung twirling the ends of my hair.
What are you doing Nicki? I asked myself after realising the situation I was putting myself in by allowing him to talk to me.
This was gonna be a long ride.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

But Alcar knows that there is an exciting world of adventure out there. And when he sees a half-orc master sorcerer walking through his neighborhood, he decides to grab his chance. He approaches Master Maluhk to offer his services as an apprentice. And to his shock, the sorcerer agrees to let him come and try his luck along with several other applicants. Soon though, it is all too clear that Alcar, clumsy and lazy as he is, lacks any natural magical talent.

At best, Alcar and the others have signed up to do unpaid labor. Things go from bad to worse when his fellow applicants for the role of apprentice prove to be reckless in the extreme, and as Master Maluhk’s tower catches fire, Alcar soon finds himself being blamed for their misdemeanors. Can Alcar clear his name, gain another chance, and learn enough to show that he has the potential to be a proper sorcerer’s apprentice? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
