《The Guy Named Harrison: Book One》6
Advertisement
After her date with Harrison, she couldn't stand to think about him. She left her guard up, and it possibly cost her a relationship with a great guy.
It was her insecurities. After the previous football player she'd been with, she still had her doubts that Harrison would be the same. The relationship before Harrison started the same way. Then it happened.
The Panthers had a three day weekend off. So Carrie used that to come home and visit her mom. She was laying on the couch in her Beverly Hills home when her mom came in.
"Carrie?"
"Over here mom."
Debbie crossed through the kitchen and into the living room where her daughter was laying flat on the couch with her laptop on her stomach and Gary at her feet.
"Hi mom."
Gary jumped off the couch and followed her to the chair across from the couch. "How's work going?"
"Okay," she mumbled.
"Why just okay? Last time I talked to you, you said you loved it."
Carrie rubbed her eyes. "What is it?"
"It's nothing mom."
"Carrie, I'm your mother, I know it's more than just nothing."
She closed her laptop and set it gently on the floor. "Mom, seriously, it's nothing."
Debbie didn't hold back her eye roll. "You're 24. And you may think you know everything. But your mom knows you better than you know yourself. So if it's nothing, fine."
She sat up and admitted it wasn't nothing. The truth was, she was fighting an internal conflict even her mom might not be able to help her sort out.
"I'm listening Carrie."
So Carrie let it out. "My first day of work I met with one of the Panthers linebackers."
Before she could continue, Debbie interrupted her. "Who?"

"Harrison Ford."
Carrie continued. "Well, he came up to me and introduced himself, and just the way he looked at me, I knew he liked me. And I think I liked him too."
Debbie stopped her again. "You said 'liked.' What happened?"
"We did our interview. I loved talking to him. He has a great personality. He's charming. He has everything I would want in a man. Later that night we went to dinner. Everything went well until he leaned in to kiss me. And I didn't let him."
"Why not?"
"Because of what happened with Alex. I don't know if I can trust another football player after that."
Debbie took a moment to think. "Carrie, Alex is in jail. He's out of your life. If you really want to be with Harrison, you need to tell him."
"It's embarrassing mom."
"Why's it embarrassing? There's cases every day like this."
"It's embarrassing because I couldn't fight back."
❺❾
Harrison was in the fifth mile out of the seven he decided to run this morning. He didn't have training camp today, or for the rest of the weekend so he decided to run as his workouts.
He wore a blue t-shirt with black shorts and a blue Nike hat. It was raining hard this morning, with the rain already soaking his clothing.
As he ran, he tried not to think about Carrie. But that was impossible. Harrison had no idea what he'd done wrong at dinner the other night. It was going great. She seemed like she was having a great time. Then he leaned in to kiss her and she immediately avoided it. Was it too soon? Was she not ready to kiss him?
Harrison didn't understand how she could avoid the kiss. Was she hiding something? Or did she have a boyfriend already? Whatever it was, he hoped he found out soon before his thoughts about her started to effect his play.

He was almost finished with the seven miles when she texted him. Harrison knew it was her. She had her own ringtone. What could she want now?
He stopped and dug his brand new iPhone out of his pocket and looked at her text.
Carrie: Harrison, I'm sorry about what happened at dinner a few nights ago. Can I talk to you when I get back? I need to tell you something and I'd rather do it in person.
Harrison took a moment to think. What did she need to tell him? And was it going to be bad?

Monsters as Men(A good v evil story based on reincarnation in different worlds)
The Monsters have taken over the universe. With their corrupting system behind them, which they use equally for power and recruitment, no one can compare to their strength. Good has been nearly eradicated, with its god slain, and the one who picked up its Mantle tempted to evil. In contrast, the god of Evil is growing, getting stronger. Only one person can defend the world against this threat. This is the tale of the Bluejay. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), Spirit(for Spirit Magic), and Dominion(for Aura). This is very much a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcome. This is set in the same world as my other story, Spirits of Eternity. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The World Below
A place of myth and mystery, the Below is spoken of by few with any real consideration, and fewer with any true belief. After all, a realm filled with magic and monstrosities beyond imagining would be ridiculous, especially existing beneath one's very feet. Someone would have found it by now, through science, even if rumor dictated that it was able to "choose" who entered it. More wishful magic nonsense. ...Right? Note: This is a story on dungeon exploration, not a dungeon core/sentient dungeon!

Toric the Soulless
Hello everybody, my name is Spotacus. English is my first language, but that does not mean I do not make mistakes. Please let me know if you see any. I am going to post the first few chapters of a story I have been fooling around with. The main character is a bit OP, but completely clueless about his power. This is a fantasy type story, and I may have missed some of the tags. Description Toric thought he was a pretty normal kid, with a normal and boring backstory, but he was wrong. Follow his adventures as he learns the truth about his history, and discovers exactly how very far he has to go in order to embrace his destiny. Life will never be the same after the arrogance of a mage gives Toric an ability that was lost in distant history. Lost for a reason.

How a lame loner's life is not like normal dudes
Are you a loner? If you ask me I have to say yes. And it has nothing to do with the plot. The summary is going to be messy so please bear. *The Summary* Join the adventure of our MC Akito. Who's a Japanese 2nd Year High School student going throuh with an unusual problem. And that is the writer has not casted him in a good narrative story. The MC is going through serious depression and anxiety due to this and he doesn't even know what's going to happen with him in the near future. And of course this won't be narrated in the story because the author is a lazy hobo who has no will to write. *Lame unimportant information* *Please skip this part* Its a story of a character who happens to be the character of a writer. And that writer by the way is the character of another story. Basically its a story of that guy. And here the main character happens to be me (the main character here. I'm narrating the story for your information.). And its kind of sad that its a comedy rather than gruesome action fantasy or virtual reality story. But its an uncommon story which you'll never hear about or will never see be famous for some lame reasons. By the way the author doesn't even have any aspiration to imrpove his grammar so whack him for his terrible excuse of grammar. And also be prepared to wash your eyes with bleach after reading it. Bleach is gonna clean your eyes ;)
