《Mindfulness》CHAPTER 2
Advertisement
I was driving home and I wasn't happy about it 'cause I wanted to stay with Stef. She is such a beautiful human being and she's perfect for the role in my film, I can't wait to start the shooting. When I arrived home, I noticed Irina on the sofa, she was looking at me and she said:
"Where have you been Brad?"
"Sorry, but I had a meeting for the film."
"Have you found someone for the role of Ally?
"Oh yes, I haven't told you yet but, Stef will be Ally."
She looked at me in a strange way and she said: "Who's Stef?"
"Sorry, she's Lady Gaga."
"OMG Brad, Lady Gaga in your film? That's fantastic" How is she?"
"She's fantastic, the kindest woman I've ever met!"
"Did you know her before?"
"Oh no, I've met her at an event for cancer thrown by Sean Parker, she was singing La Vie en Rose and my mind was blown. I call her manager and he organised a meeting the following day. It was yesterday when I went to her house and she said yes to my proposal. Today she invited me for lunch with her family to announce them the big news! They're Italian just like me!"
"It sounds great, but you forgot me at home..."
"I'm so sorry, at the beginning, Stef was supposed to come here but she had organised a lunch with her family yet. So she invited me. I wanna introduce her to you. We can invite her this evening. What do you think about it?"
"Today? Brad, you've just seen her... You know, I'm pregnant, I just want to relax!"
"Darling it's just a dinner, I call Stef!" When I said it, he gave me a really weird look.

Stefani's POV
I chose a white dress for the date and while I was doing my make-up, my phone started to ring. I thought it was Christian but when I answered I was surprised to hear Bradley.
"Hello Stef, how are you?
"Brad, I've seen you a few minutes ago, what's going on?" I said while I was laughing.
"Stef do you want to come to dine with me and my fiancè? I want to introduce you to her."
"I'd like to but I have a date."
"A date?" His voice changed.
"Yes, do you remember Christian? The guy who was sitting near me at lunch? He invited me to go out tonight."
"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you. See you, Stefani." He hung up on me.
I was speechless, why Bradley was acting so strange? I was finishing my make-up when someone rang at the bell. I went downstairs and I opened the door. It was Christian.
"You're so beautiful Stef, I'm truly speechless." He said to me.
"Thank you, Mr C, but. you are lying!"
"I'm not lying, that's the truth Stef, you're the most beautiful woman in the world but now we have to go, our dinner is waiting for us!!"
We went out and we had a scrumptious dinner, everything was perfect and Christian listened to me for all the evening, he is so patient and kind. When we finished, we go outside for a walk and suddenly he kissed me. I close my eyes and I felt like I was home. It was a short kiss but it was totally worth it. He picked me home and I decided to invite him for the night, he said yes and he came to my house.
"A perfect night, with a perfect woman, something more?" He said smiling.

"A perfect night, with a perfect man you meant!"
"Stef, stop it, you are truly perfect, there are no words to describe you." He said and he kissed me, he started to hug me and we came in my bedroom running like 2 young crazy guys. It seemed like a dream, he started to kiss me slowly and then we fell asleep. I woke up at 9:00 and Christian was looking at me with a breakfast tray, he kissed me and he said:
"Morning beautiful girl, how have you slept?"
"Mr C, you're crazy!! I've slept fantastically with you."
We ate together breakfast and then he had to go due to an important meeting for work. In the meantime, I decided to call Bradley, the previous day he seemed very strange.
"Bradley, how are you? Everything is fine?"
"Stefani, yes why?"
"Yesterday you acted very weirdly, is there something wrong?"
"No Stefani, don't worry, how was your date yesterday?"
"It was fantastic, Christian kissed me and we have passed the night together, he's super brilliant and kind, he makes me feel unique."
"It sounds great, I'm happy about it, even though..."
"Even what?"I said alarmed.
"I have to go, Stefani, sorry." He hung up on me.
I was literally shocked, why he was acting in this way? When I saw him for the first time in my house, I have immediately felt an instant connection, maybe him too but what's wrong with him?

The Book of Rune
If you like moderately well-researched semi-medieval military logistics with some fantasy twists, and also conspiracy, and exploration, and violence, and maybe a dash of road movie, hey, Ruen just might be your thing. Plot-wise, basically there's a guy who got fired by Death, a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and a slave general who wouldn't mind retiring but ended up on a mass suicide mission. If you were looking for a less TL;DR version, a guy who got fired by Death meets a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and they try to get the guy un-fired while also trying to come to terms with death together (ooohhhh, look, I'm deep). Meanwhile a slave general does something stupid and ends up being sent on a suicide mission, and he tries to wreak havoc and save lives at the same time. The threads come together, I swear. This is a rough draft of a fantasy semi-book that I've had in the back of my head for some time. I've written a variety of short stories set in the world over the past three years, and I finally kicked myself into writing the actual story. Very much a slow work in progress. Occasional violence (okay, well, maybe more than occasional), occasional foul language.

The Amazing Sidekick
Jack Snyder died on Earth during a car accident. Time went by, and he heard a girl’s voice calling Nozomu Shinchaku. Jack slowly opened his eyes and an unknown girl was crying in front of him, but everything about her was wrong. Long blue hair, yellow eyes, cat ears instead of normal Human ears. Jack glanced at her hand and saw sharp and long fingernails caressing his face. A fluffy blue tail was trembling behind her, signalling her worries. Jack saw a pool of blood on the ground near a rock, and he had a big bandage on his head. Strangely, his soul travelled to a young boy’s body, that judging by the pool of blood, died because of that rock. Now, he has to learn how to live in a strange Magical World as the Human teenager Nozomu Shinchaku that strangely can’t use Magic, and Magic has no effect on him. . “Definition of sidekick: - A sidekick is someone who goes with the main lead on their adventures. If he is a superhero, the sidekick helps fight crime. Sometimes this word signifies an imbalance of power, and it implies that the sidekick is less powerful than the main lead. - Sidekick is one of the most effective forms of attack in a street fight. Hard kicks especially to the knee can take a larger opponent down or at least blow out his balance, leaving him vulnerable to follow-up shots.” *I intend on keeping this story free till it's finished.*

Storm
The Storm started six months ago, and no one knows where it came from. All they know is it hasn't stopped for a single day, and you better follow the one rule: Don't go out in the rain. Hiding in the broken building of her old high-school, seventeen-year-old Marylou is one of the few to have survived this far. She doesn't believe in the Ghosts -- shapeless creatures said to roam under the rain outside -- but, to be fair, she doesn't really believe in anything except booze and the unconditioned love of her ball python snake, Evil Noodle. Chance brings Marylou together with Amy, a mysterious girl with an even more mysterious past, and Dean and Ray, two young men running what they call 'the last pizza place in California'. As the Storm rages on stronger by the day, the foursome will have to make a choice: keep hiding under roof after roof, waiting for starvation, or set out to the road and face whatever hides out there, under the Storm.

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
