Caught Up In Between Book Novels & Stories

how long can I pull that off? I force myself to focus, flipping pages, but the words blur. An hour passes like that, maybe two, my mind replaying her words on loop. Alaric’s fucking her. She’s the Future Luna. By the time I shelve the book, useless, full of nothing but bonding rituals that make my stomach turn, I’m drained. I slip out the side door, head down, avoiding the main halls. That’s when I bump into someone from a corner too fast, I collide with a figure, books tumbling from my arms. “Shit, sorry,” I mutter, dropping to my knees to gather them.

And when she scrambled off to the library, like a love sick teenager, I followed her. Caught up in the maze of books, I stumbled upon her in the literature section, reaching for a book just out of her reach. She was trying so hard, standing on her tiptoes like a champ, but the book remained stubbornly distant. I couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. Instead of giving away the secret of the nearby ladder, I watched with a grin as she struggled, her determination both adorable and impressive. Then, with a casual flick of my wrist, I snagged the book before she even realized I was there.

"Ha, I got you now! This means you must bring me with you—woah, this isn't good! Get off the bed!" My bed, which I'm sitting on, vibrates. I shriek in response, and Thail gathers me in his arms to bring me to the other side of the room. He presses his back against the blue wall, and we both stare as my bed gets sucked into the damn book. It happens in an instant, and after it's gone, the book closes by itself. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

That's in the past. But she couldn't help picking a book that dealt with finance. She touched the thick cover and breathed in its fragrance. She longed to to read the book, at least to kill time. She helped herself to one of the chairs and placed the thick book on the table. Soon she got so immersed in the book that she didn't even notice that Jack had been standing beside her for 3 minutes. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and cleared his throat. There was no reaction from Vanessa as she was in deep thoughts. 'This book is really good. It's a pity... a pity that I...' she was dragged back to reality when Jack knocked on the table twice.

"When I see your face There's not a thing that I would change 'Cause you're amazing Just the way you are And when you smile The whole world stops and stares for a while 'Cause girl, you're amazing Just the way you are Yeah~" I got so excited when I saw the lastest book that I'm trying to find. Wow! Who would have thought that I will found it here in school! I frown when I found myself struggling with the position. Gosh! I should have known that my height is not enough to reach the last to the top row of this shelf. I bit my lip and jump my way to get the book. But because of my clumsiness, I saw myself falling. But before I can even kiss the ground, I felt a strong and masculine arms wrappin

He stretched onto his toes, trying to slide the heavy book into place. "It's just a little..." Further. His fingertips barely reached the shelf. "I almost—" The ladder shifted. Lucas's eyes widened. "Oh!" His foot slipped. Everything happened in an instant. The ladder tilted sideways. The thick book slid from his hands. Before he could hit the floor, a strong arm wrapped firmly around his waist. Another hand caught his wrist. The falling book landed with a loud thud. Silence filled the aisle. Lucas blinked. He wasn't falling anymore.

I stood on tiptoes to reach it, but it was a failed attempt. I jumped countless times, but I couldn't reach that damn book! I'm not that short; the problem is that the book is in a high spot on the shelf. "Argh!" I grumbled, stomping my foot on the ground. Before taking another jump, I saw the strong arm of someone behind me grabbing that cursed book. "Let go of the book! I saw it first and..." I turned around, ready to argue with that person, but I fell silent when I saw their face so close to mine. My heart beat faster, and I felt my cheeks burn, which is very rare.

I raise my head to see what he is up to. A sinking feeling hits the pit of my stomach when I see him pick up the book I was reading. He holds up the book out in front of him, studying the cover. “Oh no,” I whisper under my breath. Aiden can't read that! I sprint toward him. He does not see me coming, and I crash into him. He's caught off guard when I collide with him. He stumbles backward, and we both fall onto the bed. The book flutters to the floor, forgotten.

Human. I open them again and I find myself gazing into a pale blue gray void. I attempt to step back from Alaric’s sudden proximity and stumble into Cassian who circles his arms around the sides of my waist to steady me his body breaking my fall while Alaric’s arm wraps around my waist. I am sandwiched between the two.

Secrets never just sat still. They didn’t stay buried, tucked neatly under silence; they multiplied in the shadows, fed on omission, got messier the longer you pretended they weren’t there. And now, with dawn spilling over Zurich, Selena saw this one with total clarity. Marcus hadn’t made some panicked choice five years ago. He’d set something deliberate in motion.
