No One Else Comes Close Novels & Stories

So I learned something important: If no one sees you, you see everything. People stop hiding their texts when you're nearby. People don’t whisper when you’re in the corner because they forget you breathe. People argue, confess, gossip as if the air itself is listening. Which is funny. Because air is just quiet movement. Just like me. Nobody noticed when I walked into the sleepover. Not even Maya, and it was her house. I stood near the hallway, sipping juice not alcohol and watched the world spin around me without ever brushing my shoulder. Not a single person said “Hi Amber.”, not a single person asked who invited me.

There's a bigger prize. About half an hour later, I head downstairs and find Serene sitting on one of the sofas. —Where's everyone else? —They left. —How long have you been waiting? —Fifteen minutes —she gets up and walks toward me. —Why didn't you come upstairs then? —I wrap my arms around her waist to pull her closer. —I wouldn't have been able to control myself. —I don't see a problem with that —I slide my hands down to her butt, giving it a light squeeze that makes her inhale sharply—. I'll never get tired of those reactions every time I get near you.

He hurriedly replied with just three words: [Wait for me. I looked up at Camelia. At that moment, she only felt like an eyesore. “You can leave now. You don’t need to come back again.” I dismissed her coldly. Camelia jerked her head up. “How can I do that? You don’t have any family around. How can you manage without someone to take care of you?” Halfway through, she suddenly realized she did not count as my family either. Her voice softened as she tried to persuade me. “Let me stay and take care of you, okay?”

“That sounds like a challenge.” “It is a warning.” “I do not respond well to warnings.” “You should.” “I will not.” The silence that followed felt heavier now, more dangerous, as though the air between us had become charged with something neither of us fully understood. I stepped even closer until there was no distance left between our bodies, and I could feel the controlled rhythm of her breathing against me. No fear. Not even the slightest trace. “You do not react like everyone else,” I murmured. “That is because I am not everyone else.”

He smiled at her. Chloe frowns at him. Damien noticed something on her, and began walking closer to her. "What do you want?" She asked moving backwards until her back touched the white wall. Since she was short, Damien lowered his height to her level and his eyes went to her b**bs. He observed it for a while before talking. "Why is your b**bs so small? I love it when is big" He smiled and Chloe quickly used her hands to cover her small b**bs.

During lunchtime, I focused on eating a loaf of bread. I ate in complete silence, didn't even touch the other dishes, and devoured my food hurriedly as if I hadn't eaten in a month. "Jennifer Hill!" "I'm here!" When I heard someone call my name, I reflexively put down my forks and stood up. I even replied with "I'm here" while my mouth was still full. My unexpected reaction not only surprised Mark and his grandmother, but also caught me off guard.

As I finally stopped coughing, he held my hand and said, "Relax, you are mine and I have no issue with taking this slow. We can start by befriending each other, but remember one thing loud and clear: just you and me. No other person allowed. Although I might be okay with being your friend and then becoming your boyfriend and then your husband, I hate seeing my girl (he pointed out to me) be close to someone else. Get it?" he asked possessively. Like hell man! I shook my head in a 'no' as my clogged throat wasn't able to utter a word. With the amount of confidence I currently possess, I am sure I wouldn't have been able to speak anyway. I was certain of one thing: he had gone crazy. Getting u

The entertainment news has called the place the amusement park the home of all other amusement parks. "I have visited several other parks but not the one in Crescent Bay" Arabella responded. "It's a date then," Mark said. "I should mark that down in my calendar" Arabella replied in a sarcastic voice. "See you then, I gotta run now," he said and the line fell dead before she could say anything. The ride was silent as it seemed like Kieran began to suddenly drive faster than normal. "Be careful" Arabella let out when he somehow almost brushed the car beside them.

I ask. "I thought you could overcome your injury faster. I was willing to take on a challenge, but I can see you're nothing more than a problem for me. I'm going to have to ask you to leave. And don't come back without a doctors' note. As for your friends, only Stephanie is allowed in my studio. At least she knows what the word quiet means. I don't mean to be rude, but this is a high-end business I'm running. I can't have it look like a study hall. Also, this is for you."

"DON'T KNOW YOURSELF?" I fell silent as soon as Cecil covered my mouth with his hand. All eyes were on the two of us. I couldn't help but chuckle in annoyance while removing Cecil's hand from my mouth. How could this girl be older than me? This can't be, and can't happen. Where is my high self-esteem? "What is this? Why are you all silent? Why not hang out with each other?”
