Just One Look Novel Novels & Stories

Start a fight just to get a reaction. I’ve imagined this moment too many times. And it always ends the same way. I want too much. He gives too little. But this time… Something feels off. Because when he finally looks at me really looks at me there’s something new in his eyes. Something I don’t understand. Something dangerous. And for the first time, I start to wonder…maybe I’m not the only one struggling here. I shouldn’t start anything. Not tonight. We won the game, and I played really well. For once, I feel calm. In control.

“Death Reincarnate.” With the hardbound book by which covers represents a maiden, yet not the very crown princess, but a lady in blue they both know who. Winona flips the book around, and unto its back, she reads the words, the gist, and the very core of the novel that they are living and probably someone is reading along, as it goes like this with the words. “WAKE UP, DANIELA!” Having the chills, yet her heart beats an excitement from the name that pops and takes her utmost interest from. She slowly lay her back comfortably onto Leo’s fur, as she continues to read.

I'm very trying my very best not to move even a notch, hoping that if still continue to do that, the princess won't notice me anymore. In my surprise, she turned her gaze towards Noire's direction. She's leaning on the fancy table with her elbow supporting her weight. Her eyes meet mine. I think my heart just skip a beat. Her eyes are so magnificent! Plus, the thickness of her lashes. Complimented and creat a very well-combination. Princess Paloma's eyes got big, she's probably surprised that I'm here. She didn't notice me earlier, that's why she's astounded seeing me.

Keeping her focus not to fall gave her the chance to look at the unconscious man more properly this time. She gasped realizing how this man looked so fine. It reminded her of that one time she saw an illustration for a male lead character in the romance novel she was reading. He looked like it. He looked like what leading men should look like. He was straight-up taken out of a fiction book.

I flinched. Even though I hated the rumpled, mismatched two-piece she wore—blue and purple? Really?—I couldn’t take my eyes off her. To be fair, I paid enough for my staff to wear killer corporate looks, my instinct argued. Another woman behind the counter, grabbed the book from her. “He released a new one?” she asked, practically bouncing. “Man is on fire!” It was clear they were talking about Anthony’s latest novel. But what I couldn’t understand was... why did I care?

As I pulled my head up fully to see the last fan who entered the place which was obviously for me because I was the only one with no partner, my eyes widened so big to see. Lindy! A smile appeared on her face when she saw me and I was tremendously speechless because she is really here. She fucking standing in front of me wearing a lovely red minidress and white heels and she was enchantingly beautiful. I was mesmerized by her stunning eyes and her simplicity with that little stain of makeup on her. That's always the thing I loved about her. She was so simple.

I watch the sea of heads as Luke talks. Then I see her. The long, blonde hair. The piercing blue eyes........The trouble maker of Black Lake. Are you fucking kidding me? I sigh. Lowering my head and shaking it. Wren looked at me. "What's your problem?" I raise my head and look at her again. This time our eyes lock. It's an intense stare. It almost looks like she's blushing as she tucks her blonde hair behind her ear and turns away. "Nothing. I just saw someone who's going to make my job that much fucking harder." I nod in her direction.

It took some second for her to ponder in that it was really her. "Girl get out now", Ashley her roommate was tired of waiting for her. She had prepared herself as if she was a bride. She took her time and that made Ashley become more impatient. Sky stared at herself on the mirror for the last time before she exited the bedroom. She was amazed by how she looked so beautiful and elegant. "Wow who are you...?" Ashley mentioned. It was her first time to see her in that kind of steamy dress. She was used to seeing her in very long dresses all the time. She couldn't believe what she was seeing at that time.

Connor’s POV Seeing her this close is like a revelation. She is beautiful. Not even in an understated way. She is fucking stunning. I had a moment in the kitchen when I just wanted to slam her into a wall and kiss those plump, pouty lips of hers. Fuck, I wish I could but I can’t. I am now technically her boss. We need to have a healthy professional relationship. I make myself a promise to glance but not touch. Secret glances. Just to admire her. I need to control myself. A knock at the door drags me from thoughts of her and I move from behind my desk to answer it. As I suspected it’s Al.

She blinked her eyes. Ailina’s POV: I just wanted to tease Ricky. I was curious if he would read the book as Siri did. He cast of glance at the name of the book and read, “Reborn To Get My True Love.” His mouth twitched. “Do you like this type of novel?” I coughed softly, “Although the name of this novel sound boring, it’s quite good. You can read it to kill time.” He nodded. He turned the first page. After reading a paragraph, he frowned and asked, “Does the heroine lost one leg?”
