《If Only ✔》Chapter 23.
Advertisement
I zipped up my bag and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
I decided I needed some time away from my friends for a while. I love them all don't get me wrong, but I just need some space. I want to be with other faces for a while.
So I'm sneaking out tomorrow morning. I'm going to our vacation home in the forest. Only Matt knows about it and he promises not to tell anyone.
The next day I woke up at 4AM. No one is awake so I took this as my chance to sneak out. I grabbed my bag and quietly went downstairs. I quietly groan when i see the boys sleeping downstairs. I forgot they stayed up playing video games. I slowly walked past them and opened the door. As soon as I got out, I put my bag in the car and drove off.
I arrived at the forest at 6am and I smiled seeing the familiar home. It's been a while since I came here...
"Miss Verdana! You did not say you would arrive" Our butler,George, says. George is a kind man in his late 30's and he takes care of this house while we're away. His family is here too and they all keep the house clean and well.
"Sorry George, It's an unexpected visit" I say and he nods smiling
"It's fine Ver. Go inside, my wife will make you some coffe." He says and I thank him
I walk inside and immediately got trapped in a tight hug. I laugh and hug her back.
"Ver!! I'm so happy you're back!!! We've missed you so much!!!" Caroline, George's wife, said
"I know!! I missed you guys too!!!" I exclaim
"Oh the children will be so happy!!! Sit sit, I'll make you coffee" She says and rushes to the kitchen

Just then I hear multiple footsteps come down the stairs. I smile widely knowing exactly who that is
"Mom?? What's with all the noiseee" A voice says
"Yeah mommy. It's too early to be noisy" Another voice says
A faint grunt can be heard as if agreeing with the two voices.
"Uh, mom? Who's the visitor?" a voice says
"...wait a second...I KNOW THAT HAIR COLOR ANYWHERE."
One second later I am being attacked by a hug.
"VERDANA HOLY SNAP IVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH"
You know how a girl always has a gay best friend? Yea meet mine. Justin is the eldest child of George and Caroline and is,like I said, my gay best friend. Him and I are the same age so we would always play with each other as kids. He used to be a really manly man but it wasn't until another gay guy admitted his feelings for him and kissed him that Justin started actually thinking bout his gender. A year later he came out and was so scared. All of us just laughed it off and hugged him tight saying we don't care. I mean I'm happy I have a gay best friend, they're super fun to be with.
"GET OFF OF ME YOU HEAVY BUTT" I yell and he hugs me tighter
"NUH UH. WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT. LIKE DAMN GIRL YOU HANG WITH A LOT OF HOTTIES." He yells and I laugh
"I FOLLOW YOU ON INSTAGRAM, DONT EVEN TRY TO DENY IT" he continues. Just then two little girls slap his butt and cross their arms.
"Justin!!! It's our turn!!! We miss V too!!!" The brunette girl says
"Yeah!!! Share her!!!" The blonde one says
Bailey and Railey are fraternal twins and the youngest children of Robin and Caroline. Bailey is blonde and Railey is brunette. They're the cutest 7 year olds ever.

"ILL SHARE HER IF SHE SHARES HER HOTTIES" Justin yells and the siblings start quarreling while I laugh my ass off
"Move heavy butt" I say and push Justin off. He pouts crossing his arms and I laugh picking the girls up
They hug me so tight and rant on about how much they've missed me. I smile, I've missed these people so much. The girls rant stops as Justin takes them off me and grabs my arm
"OKAY IM STEALING HER NOW" He yells and drags me upstairs
I'm in for a long talk.

Romance - plus Judgemental Powers? Completed
Blue was a red headed boy who desperately wanted a girlfriend. So he asked the class beauty to walk home with him. She very nicely refused him. So he asked another girl in the same class, one with an average rating in the social status ranking. She also refused him. So, still desperate, he thinks – “I’m probably at the bottom of the ranking for boys in this class, so how about I ask the girl who is also at the lowest ranking?” The girl’s name was Pink. She said yes. Gulp. “What do I do now?” was his reaction. Well, obviously, have a romance. And, along the way, they get one hell of a lot more than they bargained for. Like, for example, supernatural Judgemental Powers. How did they get those? And that was only the start. The two most insignificant students in their class become famous. Not just in their class or even in their school, but to the population at large. They end up breaking and making the top politicians and rulers of their country. But finally, of course, they get what they wanted. A committed relationship. This is an Esmeralda the Angel of Death story. It follows on from my previous novel “Maybe it would have been a good idea not to wish for a harem?”, however it is a totally separate story with only a minimal overlap in the characters. There is no need to read the first story to enjoy this one. Although you just might enjoy the first story also… This story has multiple characters and multiple Points of View. Every POV change is clearly marked with a new header. Inside each POV section, the POV character’s thoughts are in italics. This story has about 105,000 words (about 380 RoyalRoad pages). It is fully written and proof read (the poor man’s proof read using Word). It has 25 chapters, and will be published at the rate of roughly one chapter per day.

[COMPLETE] Soz this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously.With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker."~❗️Mature content.
