My Girlfriend From Turquoise Pond Novels & Stories

She explained. “That explains a lot. I’ve never been to Forest Trails before. We only recently became allies with that pack. Our Luna is friends with their Alpha.” I mused aloud. “Who was that woman?” She asked the question I knew I'd have to answer eventually. “Her name is Julia and she’s my girlfriend.” I told her the truth. No sense sugar coating it when she would find out anyway. “But you’re not bonded. So you’re going to break up with her, right?” I was getting the impression she wasn’t the soft-spoken, girl-next-door personality her looks implied.

Grayson - Under the canopy of twilight, I clasped Janice's hand, her fingers entwining with mine as they had in the sun-dappled days of our youth. With hearts pounding and the crispness of adventure in the air, we sprinted toward the serene expanse of the lake that lay cradled in the North Shore's embrace. The water beckoned to us like an old friend, its surface sparkled with the last golden rays of a setting sun. For us, who grew up as close as siblings, the lake was our refuge, a place where the symphony of splashes and joyful shrieks became the melody of our existence.

"So there is." As she took his hand, Pru was conscious that he was letting her lead now. They left the yard, taking the trail she knew as well as she knew the house she'd grown up in. The sounds of the reception grew fainter as they went down the incline and wove their way through the trees. Neither of them spoke until the trees opened up some time later onto a small pool of water. "This is Opal Springs." It took Flynn a moment. "Of the skinny dipping story?"

I didn't know what to say to Aiden; how do I even start a conversation? “Hey, honey, look! Let’s go to the tunnel of hearts.” I heard a sound that caught my attention, and when I looked up, I noticed a young couple a few yards away from me. The woman was pointing towards something with her finger and when I followed her gaze, there it was - a tunnel emerging within the lake. It seemed almost surreal to witness such an immense natural structure in its full glory. Its walls were teeming with vibrant colors and its entrance appeared to be wide enough for us to explore it further.

The situation was as critical as it could get. In all of Eldermoor, I was the only one who could perform this surgery. Sweat trickled down my forehead and splattered onto my mask. Just as I was about to insert the needle, the heavy lead door of the operating room was violently pushed open. Blinding light and noise flooded in. My girlfriend, Katie Wilder, barged in with a man dressed in an expensive suit. I recognized him instantly. He was Luke Rivera, Katie's childhood friend, who had just returned from abroad.

"The lake." Her chest rose with the deep breath she took, and the beat in the vein on the side of her head hadn't slowed. Then she released the air along with a whistle. "All night?" "No. There was a field party at Twin Creeks." One of the largest farms in town also happened to be owned by my boyfriend-or rather, his parents. Sarah's shoulders relaxed, and she regained her normal color. "You were with Austin?"

In the end, I went down and asked her to follow me to a nearby cafe. "Go back. Stop wasting your effort. It won't change anything." She didn't speak. She simply pushed the lunchbox in front of me and stared stubbornly. I ignored it and suddenly brought up that couple from the lawn wedding. "Do you remember that lawn wedding we once saw?" At that wedding, the groom had been disfigured saving the bride. She stayed with him and insisted on marrying him. Jenna froze for a moment. She nodded eagerly. "I remember! Their love was beautiful. They were so happy. I always imagined we'd be like that, too. This is the first time you've spoken to me in so long. Does that mean…"

The pool glowed in shifting colours, blue to pink to purple, and was packed with people in various states of sobriety and… undress. My stomach clenched at the sight of the water and I took a step back. “Look who I found!” Shae announced to a group lounging on deck chairs. “It’s the girl from TeaSpiller!” A guy with dark curly hair and a lazy smile looked up from his phone. “Are you serious? You mean the one who’s supposedly two-timing Jace Dawson and that other football guy? Jesus Christ, she looks even better in person.” “She already has a boyfriend, Artem,” Shae said, swatting his arm. “Back off.”

Or maybe from him? Things seemed to have ended badly between Taya and Judah, as expected. She was crying her eyes out the entire night. But once she came to her senses, she stopped crying and we got to talking. And finally, she agreed to be my girlfriend. My first official girlfriend. I finally did it. And it feels… weirdly nice. “Hey, check out the beach, the water looks insane,” I said as I motioned to the fast ocean standing before us. The sun above us was warm and bright. And the water was sparkling like it was made out of diamonds.

Connor practically dragged her toward the garden, nervous as hell, smiling so wide he looked like his face might crack. I trailed behind, filming everything on my phone like the world’s most underpaid cameraman. We passed goats, rabbits, all that. Took a winding path under big oak trees until we reached the lake. The water sparkled. Swans floated by. It actually looked like one of those P*******t engagement spots. And then— Mandy stopped dead. She slapped both hands over her mouth. Because there, spelled out in red roses on the grass, in perfect curvy letters: WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?
