Lemon X Mash Novels & Stories

The sun hangs low, casting amber light across the water, and the lake glitters like it’s holding secrets just beneath the surface. We find a spot beneath an old tree with thick, gnarled roots and settle onto the soft grass. Lila opens the box with a flourish and hands me a fork like she’s presenting a royal treasure. “Blackberry lemon,” she says. “Tastes like mischief and regret.” I laugh. “Perfect.” The first bite is sweet, tart, and soft on my tongue. I let the flavor linger, staring out at the still water. Lila lies back, arms tucked behind her head, and watches the clouds drift.

"Grasshopper, probably." "Grasshopper?!" Leo lets out a loud laugh. "Bugs? In a milkshake." I chuckle. "It's just an expression. It's actually mint and chocolate." Leo's eyes grow wide. "Oooo..." "And it's green," I add. "Green?!" Leo gasps and returns his gaze to Isabella. She matches his surprise. "That's crazy, right?" I feel a hand on my arm. Marisol. I glance at her and she's smiling at me. The pinch at the corner of her eyes says so much without her having to say anything at all.

I ask. “It’s lemon soup. The soup is made with tamarind paste, coconut milk, galangal, lemons, palm sugar, fresh cilantro, bird's eye chillies and baby corn. It might not sound like the best but it's actually really delicious. It's a personal favorite of the men on the council so that's why I'll be teaching you how to prepare it today." “Okay, how can I assist?” Loic chimes in. “You can help us taste the food to discern if it meets expectations. Since I and Isa will be cooking it, our taste buds will be a bit compromised.”

“Stop banging your head sweetie, take a bite.” She felt someone opened her mouth then put something in it. Fauzia gently chewed it until she tasted its sour taste, somehow her breathing lightened and she turned her attention to what she was eating. Regardless of its taste, in a few minutes, she felt better and she was in a better condition while eyes are close as she catch her own breath. “What is lemon for?” Austin asked Mavis. "Lemon tastes strong, that is what I used to eat to stop my panic attacks," Mavis explained with a smile, she adjusted the Fauzia's seat while eyes are still closed.

King: "Oh?" Su Lan opens the lunch box. The lunch box had 3 levels. The first level contains cold spicy noodles. Su Lan used Langpi instead of Lo Mein. To make the Langpi she had to make a dough with flour and water. Then continue to wash the dough until it becomes smaller. Take out the dough and keep the water that turned white due to washing the dough. Leave the dough washing water overnight. Then remove the water on top and steam the paste looking texture on the bottom. The second dish was apple shrimp salad. This dish was to help reduce the spiciness from eating Langpi. The seasoning was made with lemon juice and mayonnaise. Mayonnaise also has lemon juice in it. It is made by using egg

“At least I tried. You wouldn’t last five seconds.” “I can last three minutes,” she declared. “Want a challenge? Let’s go live. Let the world see us!” “You’re on,” I said, eyes glinting. She grabbed the last two lemons. “Let’s make it wild, add garlic, ginger, and pepper too!” I stared at her, laughing. “You’re crazy.” “Crazy in love with beating you!” she winked.

Vodka and lemon swirled on my tongue, blending into a cocktail of sharp sin and sweet fire. I swept through her cheek, to her chin, down to her neck, sucking and licking with every nip. Her pulse jittered beneath my teeth, her soft flesh lapping my tongue like fine butter— F**k! I wanted more. Rose rivalled cedarwood, beauty taming beast, and light clashing with darkness, all in a tangled web of lust. She reached for my belt, unfastening the shackles, then it clicked— lemon. “I'll take it from my back, before I eat lemon. I hate that fruit. It slaps worse than Abuela.”

It was now a weird thick blackish poisonous slosh that freaked the hell outta me. "What's this one that madam is making now? Have you started with your poison making again?" Caitlyn asked Tishe as she stared at the jar of slosh. Tishe nodded. "Yup, and it's almost done. I need everything to mix in evenly." "What ever did you put in there?" Gazelle asked, looking away from me. The butterflies were still there and were making me really uncomfortable. "Pineapple peels, raw okra and cow melon sap."

“Don’t worry. It’s not as bad as it sounds.” The healer approached after finishing with Lila. She handed me a small tin after I explained the issues I was facing. “Lemon drops,” she explained simply. “For the nausea. They’re not magic, but they help. There are teas, but these seem to work the best. Thankfully, after Alpha Linc took over, we learned about these things.” I took the tin. “Thanks,” I muttered. Lila leaned back as she absently traced patterns along her pants. “You told him yet?”

Fey stated. “You are unbelievable, one minute you don’t want to leave the mansion and the other minute you don’t want to leave the company,” Layla said. “you can’t be thinking like this, have you forgotten this saying that when life gives you a lemon make a lemon soup,” Fey said. “It isn't lemon soup. It's lemon Juice. Where did you get all of that?” Layla asked as a smile danced on her lips. “I know you haven't heard this before, you should be thanking me for letting you know all of these things, you don’t know how much stress I put in to learn all of this stuff,” Fey stated.
