《Unexpected》Gasoline On The Fire
Advertisement
A knock at the door brings me to my feet. I open the door to find Sonny's worried face.
"What's up, Skye? You said you wanna talk about something important?"
"Come on in."
He enters the apartment and sits on the arm of the couch.
"I don't want to give you the wrong impression or idea. I just want to clear the air. I don't think that we would be able to be together."
He doesn't seem phased by this statement. He actually smiles.
"You don't think I already that?"
"What do you mean?"
He laughs and crosses his arms, looking oddly relaxed.
"I see the way you and Gavin look at each other. You two are clearly meant for each other."
I don't know what to say or do. How do I even react to that? Yesterday it was Andy telling me a similar thing, now it's Sonny too? I shake my head, trying to clear it.
"Then why were we doing whatever it is we were doing?"
"If I have to make my brother jealous in order for him to realize the good thing he has, damn right I'm gonna do it. By showing interest in you, I only fueled his jealousy. Now let's just see what happens."
"So this was just an elaborate scheme to get Gavin and I together?"
He thinks a second before nodding.
"Pretty much."
"So what would you have done if I really did fall for you? What if I wasn't interested in Gavin at all?"
Sonny rolls his eyes. A car door slams in the parking lot outside.
"I've seen the way you two look at each other. There is no denying that you two have some form of chemistry."
Someone starts climbing the stairs to the apartment. Gavin must be home. Sonny realizes this too.

"Speaking of my brother..."
As if on cue, Gavin opens the door.
"I got pickles at the store."
His eyes land on Sonny and his face twists to anger.
"Need something, Sonny?"
He says Sonny's name with a bitter tone. This doesn't phase him.
"Yeah. Just coming to say hi to a beautiful lady, that's all."
Gavin's jaw ticks. I glance between the brothers, examining their expressions and evaluating the situation. I take that moment to throw gasoline on the fire. I wrap my arms around Sonny, kissing him on his cheek. When I pull away, Gavin is seething mad.
"Alright Sonny, you've overstayed your welcome. Leave. Now."
Anger is dripping off of every word he says. I smile on the inside. Sonny's right. Gavin IS jealous.
"'Ight. I'll see you later, baby."
Right in front of Gavin, Sonny grabs me and gives me a kiss that leaves me weak at the knees. He leaves, winking at Gavin.
When the door closes behind Sonny, Gavin storms out of the room. The bathroom door slams and the shower turns on.

Dark Lands: The Exile and the Prince
A short time has passed since the siege on Ruined Home has been lifted and as the survivors of the battered encampment slowly begin to rebuild their new home, Aurelius has returned from a failed troll hunt. Yet despite the battered prince’s failures, he has set into motion a series of events that will forever change his life. Meanwhile, Iskra has found herself at the helm of a far more favorable position and begins to forge a path that will lead her towards the first steps of a long road of revenge. Author’s Note: This is the direct sequel to the first Dark Lands story and as time goes on I will update the synopsis to help bring further detail about the story. For now however, I hope you all enjoy what is about to be written. Eight Years Arc: Eight Years have passed since Aurelius and Iskra have first met one another, and a lot has changed since then. The vast majority of Aurelius’ family has been slaughtered by the hands of none other than his oldest brother, a man that the golden haired prince had spent the past several years to hunt down and kill all in the name of vengeance. Upon his return, the kin-slaying prince has found that some things have changed during his absence. Iskra, his first wife and love of his life, has proclaimed that she no longer cares about the events that have been unfolding in her former homeland for the last several years and states that she is solely focused on raising her children. Yet it is through learning that the High Elves have taken a keen interest in the once magically-absent lands of Ranislava that Aurelius decides that action must be taken and thus he journeys south to learn more about what his distant kin are up to in such a backwater region of the world. Who he will meet and what he will do will turn the tides of fate, but in whose favor is something that only the Gods will know. (The Eight Years arc is something that was designed to be written in a way where people don't have to feel the need to go back to the very beginning of the Dark Lands story in order to know what is going on or who the characters are.)

A Nation of Distances (possibly a dystopian love story)
Michael lives in a toxic macho world with extreme male hierarchy. When he gets a weird rating that makes his place even more problematic he's forced to choose a fiancée at a Wife School, and he slowly discovers more about the other side of the great divide between the sexes in The Nation. If only the world would stop being so complicated... On the other side there's Megan, who's more interested in books than in marriage, and the unpredictable Eliza who seems to have a connection with Micheal already. Will they be able to cross the distance and become friends against all the rules of their own world, or will they just be crushed? Are positive relationships between men and women even possible? And is there a way to change the world or is that just a naive thought of a silly wimp? 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with possible romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. Sexism as a double-edged sword destructive to both sexes is an important part of the story, but so is friendship.Note that all descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway!
