My Top Song for The Second Half of 2019

⚠️Warning Long Post⚠️

Sam Smith: How Do You Sleep?= Lies, LIES. Lying out your teeth. The question is how do you sleep when you lie to me? This song is addictive to me. Sam Smith speaks in this song wondering how does this person sleep with all the lies that he’s been told? Sam Smith regrets staying in the relationship with this person as long as he did because he also couldn’t stay away from this person. But now he realizes he has to leave and he hopes that the love that he left, keeps this person up at night. Because he’s done. It doesn’t help that the beat is infectious and Sam Smiths voice just floats. I literally just melt into this song, and I lose myself.

Charlie Puth: I Warned Myself= This song sounds like a hook-up that went terribly wrong. In this song Charlie Puth explains how he met this person who was in a relationship with somebody else oversees. Charlie actually liked this person, so with him being skeptical, he went along with the shenanigans anyway. Later this person threatened to kill him, if he told anybody about what they did together. With that being said, Charlie regrets going about the whole thing, and blames himself and this person for messing with his heart.

Keiynan Lonsdale: Rainbow Dragon= This song is a mix of everything, but it is ultimately a message of excelling for yourself, excelling for the world, getting back up from when you fell, and changing this world for the better. Keiynan delivers some shade to the politicians as well, which is always great. One line stuck out to me, “if I can slay, you can slay too b***h.” It’s simple but powerful in its own way.

Rat City: Deliriously Good= This song is a basic admiration for a girl that Rat City finds “deliriously good”. This song makes me smile every time I listen to it, or hear it in the distance even when the volume is too low for anyone else to hear it. The beat is so disco, so retro with that modern electronic dance flavor attached to it. I can’t get enough of this song. It’s doesn’t help that Rat City made a trilogy of videos not to match the lyrics of the songs but as a story with the songs just being background music. It’s good background music though. And good marketing and good production. So kudos to Rat City for that.

Jax Jones, Martin Solveig, Madison Beer & Europa: All Day All Night - Jax Jones & Martin Solveig Presents Europa= This song speaks about another toxic relationship. The singer Madison Beer speaks of getting no sleep because of this person she can’t stop thinking about, and that she fell in love with and that she’s tired of it. This person just left her out of the blue, and never came back. Jax Jones, Martin Solveig and Europa collaborated on this song, and they did it beautifully. It’s perfectly electronic dance music, with some tropical house influence. It’s perfect.

Camila Cabello: Shameless= This song can be interpreted in so many different ways. One way I interpreted this song was, it’s one person expressing their love for the other person. Going all out with it. The other side thanks to @camrencabregui on the comment section of genius.com. They see it as a lgbt relationship. Being all out with their love and shouting it from the rooftops, not caring what anyone thinks. Either way it’s needing someone more than you want them. It’s loving someone shamelessly and with pure love in your heart.

Bebe Rexha: You Can’t Stop The Girl (From Disney’s “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”)= Side note, I’m so glad Bebe Rexha released this song. It reminds me of her earlier songs that she came out with. And the message is as powerful as ever. It’s so Disney and that’s what makes it great and so influential. It’s breaking that glass ceiling, that still not totally broken. It’s accomplishing your dreams, and not letting anyone stop you.

Charlie Puth: Cheating On You= With this song, Charlie Puth states, on the album cover for this single, “This song is not about a person, it’s about a feeling I’ve never had.” I love that he puts that out there. It’s a song anyone relate to. It’s about both parties of a relationship leaving each other. But, one person is still attached to the other. Even, when this person meets a different person, it doesn’t feel right. This person hasn’t moved on enough to feel love for another person, other than the person they fell in love with in the first place. This song is a masterpiece.

Zedd: Good Thing (with Kehlani)= This song is an introverts theme song. Honestly it is. It basically states that the alone time this person has is already serene and perfect. To broaden this persons horizons the other view that someone else shows them, has to be better than this persons world. And according to this person, everything, and everybody else has yet to excel against that.

Yuna: Forevermore= The Malaysian artist that broadened my horizons on music. Somehow, they managed to fuse Malaysian influences with modern influences and subtle funk influences as well. It’s truly spectacular. The song talks about reaching for the stars. Finding that strength and sticking with it no matter how scared you are or how scary it gets.

Labrinth & Zendaya: All For Us - from the HBO Original Series “Euphoria”= This song is based off of the show on HBO called Euphoria starring Zendaya and Storm Reid. It’s a also a remix from the original that’s on Labrinth’s 2019 album “Imagination & The Misfit Kid”. In the show (From Genius.com), the main character of the show is Rue (Zendaya), a 17-year-old recovering drug addict struggling to find her place in the world. While her father was in the hospital, she began taking his medication. To cope with his death, she started to abuse drugs and ultimately became an addict, realizing she can’t find happiness or love without the drugs. The song takes cues from a bunch of sources, from the subtle trap beat in the background, to the choir that slowly builds and barges in at the “climax” of the song. It’s a really great song.

Emeli Sandé: Honest= This song attacked me in a good way. And it kept attacking me. And it will probably attack you too. To be honest. It simply states, “stop acting as if you can’t be honest to yourself”. Live in the present. Dont live in the past so much that you forget what is happening now in the present. Emeli Sandé did what? THAT. Honestly explaining this song does not do it justice. You’ll have to listen to this song to get it. And once you’ve done that, listen to it again, and again.

Selena Gomez: Look At Her Now= Rising from the ashes. Being in a relationship that was bad for you, and coming out of it learning about yourself more and growing from that negative experience. That is what this song is talking about. Self-preservation & resilience. On top of a beat that’s infectious. And a voice that’s soothing to the ears.

James Arthur: Quite Miss Home= You know how some songs make you want to cry? This song did that. It’s about being away from those you love. Missing them while your away. It’s really self-explanatory. But it’s a beautiful song. My side of the story is too long to tell, but this song’s chorus basically covers that.

Panic! At The Disco: Into The Unknown - from “Frozen 2”= To get this song you will have to watch or go see Disney’s Frozen 2. But I will tell you this song is the ultimate challenge song if you want to try to hit any notes that seem impossible to hit. Brendon Urie goes higher than I’ve ever heard him. I’m pretty sure his fans have heard him hit these notes, but not me. It’s incredible.

Billie Eilish: everything i wanted= This one is about a dream that Billie had. According to Billie, in the dream she committed suicide and no one cared and everyone came out and said that they didn’t like her anyway. I love that this song about a dream she had. It’s different than anything I’ve heard this year. And the melody is so perfectly blended together with the vocals. It’s captivating, honestly. Billie also molds together her relationship with her brother and how close they are in this song. And how they have each others backs no matter what happens. Billie and her brother wrote this song. Another reason why i love this song.

Taylor Swift: Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince= After finally listening to Taylor Swift’s newest album, I found a couple of gems that I come back to jam to or meditate to. Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince is one of them that caught my attention. According to Taylor, “this song is about our disillusionment with our crazy world of politics and inequality, set in a metaphorical high school.” On the surface it’s about, finding someone who sees who you really are through all the noise that everyone else is spouting about you. I felt it was a very compelling and complex story to write. That’s why I love this song. I love a song that takes me a while to decipher. It makes me think. I love that!

Taylor Swift: Daylight= Chills. I get true chills when I listen to this song. Another song that I get lost in, and another song that caught my attention from Taylor’s album, because of how the melody and the lyrics and the meaning sucks me in. It’s the last song on her album “Lover”. And she did it so right. With this song it’s like she sees, like the title implies, daylight. Reading the lyrics of the song, it’s Taylor talking about herself, but also it can be a message to everyone else. Forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for your past mistakes, for past situations that may not have ended in the way you wanted or envisioned them to end. Look at the bright side, and see that you can grow from that, and from that, rebuild a better you.

Labrinth: Something’s Got To Give= Normally, when I hear a remix of a song. I tend to go with the remix rather than the original. But this song, I went with both. Because the beat got me, the message got me, and Labrinths masterful mixing and production got me as well. I love a song that, beat-wise, can take me on a rollercoaster. I love a song even better when there’s a great message tied to it. Labrinths talks of when going on faith and the going gets tough, you’ve got to give a little more. Going for your dreams and never giving up no matter how hard it gets. It’s bass heavy, it’s message heavy. It’s everything I hoped for in a song. And it’s something I think almost everyone will love as well.

PLAYING DARTS; an agentcorp story

AO3 REQUESTS

Okay, so, picture this: Lena and Alex wanted to get drunk, so they went to this bar too fancy for Alex and too shabby for Lena, it was perfect, there was no way any of them would meet someone they know, right?

Well, sometimes lonely souls find each other.

The place was cool enough that everyone else in there were younger then them, besides the dance floor in the back an the mezzanine with some popular millennials of National city, there was a gigantic rectangular bar with hot bartenders serving cold drinks, stools were disposed around it and the sensual smokey vibe were even more complete with all the beautiful people walking around chatting and dancing.

Of course none of that mattered for them.

They were there enough time to drink until they reached that point in which things feel too much, you know? Your pain is stronger and your loneliness feels heavier. The disgust Lena felt when that guy hit on her was certainly more intense than usual. She decided she would go to the bar downstairs, she stood up in a second and tought that if she decided to go out that night she would really see different people and get out of her confort zone, that was definedly the fouth glass of scotch speaking but she decided to listen anyway, why not?

So, picture this, these two woman were in the same bar facing each other, they sure didn't knew that. They were in opposite sides of the bar, drinking, thinking more than they should with less clarity than usual.

Alex was just thinking about leaving when in a fraction of second their eyes met.

You know those momentos where you wonder if the other person really saw you? If you really have to go and make small talk? That questioning, but Lena, - always so polite, isn't she? - smiled a bit and greeted Alex with a nod, she smiled back and before they knew the staring was over and the vision was again filled by waiters coming and going.

"Was that weird?" They questioned for a while, but I won't make you wonder. It was weird.

The two of them are usually used to see each other in controlled situations only, Kara's house, game nights, sometimes they had Girl's nights and Sam would join them, but that was it, even in the middle of a crisis they felt more comfortable than now, especially because they knew the role they were supposed to play in those situations. Kara's sister, Kara's best friend; the bad ass secret agent, the powerful CEO, but right now they had no idea what the protocol was.

Alex wondered if she was supposed to go there and at least say hi to the other woman, that was the most polite thing to do, and she was just about to leave anyway, she could do that before going home.

She made all the way over Lena's side of the bar and just when she was a meter away she realized the ceo might be waiting for someone, or maybe she was already accompanied. Well, now was too late for that, she was already too close to back off. Lena felt someone's presence near her and was ready to refuse any kind of proposition that usually followed an approach in a bar.

- Hi. - Alex said in the most unconfortable way she had said something in a long time - I tough I would stop by and say hi before I go. - pause - So, - pause - hi.

Can you imagine being a babbling mess like that?

- Hi. - Lena smiled, well she showed a smile because she was actually hiding the laugh the wanted. It was fun to see Agent Danvers like that - Are you already going?

Dear reader, just picture the situation, you're drunk, lonely and haven't had sex in two months, you do to a bar and Lena Luthor (have you seen those eyes?), that was also more drunk than you've ever seen, asked if you're already leaving. Of course you have the option to say "Yes, see you some other day" however, you don't say that, your body just agrees and Alex is not different from that.

- I can stay a little more. - she answered not even sure if the question as actually a request for her to stay.

Lena showed her a full smile, a life saver smile.

Let's go through Lena's mind for a second.

She went to the bar because she was bored, and during her whole life she felt bored so many times and for so many reasons, tonight was just another one of those. What she didn't expect was to see Agent Dancers in there, she was surprised when their eyes met over the bar but she also felt a wam feeling that she didn't know how to respond to. She questioned herself wether or not she should go and talk to Alex. What would she say? It's not like she was used to have deep meaningful conversations with the woman. G.I. Danvers was faster than her, before she could finish her tought Alex was just by her side.

She was caught by surprise by the disappointed feeling she had when Alex said she was leaving, just a two second long interaction already got her used to the presence of someone else.

She did decided to come to this bar after feeling lonely.

- Good. - she smiled after telling the truth, she was happy that Alex decided to stay a little longer, if she was sober she would probably be able to hide that, but right now it felt a little impossible; especially with trained brown eyes now so close and staring so temptatious at her.

- I didn't tought I would ever seen you in here. - Alex said with furrowed eyebrows.

- And why is that? - Lena couldn't help but smile. What was going on with her?

- You're always busy or late to be somewhere else. Didn't tought you would have the time to go out. - she said while trying to make eye contact with the waiter. That gave Lena enough room to stare at her features without being noticed. That was one of her oldest habits, she would look at you and memorize all the secrets and little details that go unnoticed usually.

Alex looked tired and unsure of something, maybe being there in her company or maybe being there at all.

- Well, I needed a drink. - she touched the glass and felt Alex's look on her - And i didn't wanted t drink alone in my place.

- I know exactly how you feel. - they moved their glasses together for a toast, both of them surprised with the honesty that was set between them.

And so they talk.

Alex started to tell Lena about her day to fill the silence but the story got lost when she remembered how much details she would have to leave behind, fortunately the green eyes woman also had a story to tell about her day, a reunion with Maxwell Lord.

They had so much to talk about that.

And they did.

In the middle of laughs, light touched, lingering looks and a few more empty glasses Alex forgot she was going home, and Lena decided to order a couple of shots.

It could be a good or a bad idea, it all depended in the point of view.

They took shots and that's when it begun.

The two women were aware who they were drinking with, they were hot and have noticed that about each other, that's what I'm saying.

And the shots set those thoughts free, the look Alex gave Lena lasted a little longer when she dared the competitive woman to drink one more shot.

- Are you trying to get me drunk, Agent? - It was a nice provocation, calling Alex by her title, it was impersonal enough for them to distance tonight from any other meeting they've had.

- If that was my goal it would be complete a couple shots ago. - Alex laughed seeing Lena's offended face after finishing the glass.

- We have more fun when we're drunk, so i guess that's okay. - as she said that Lena held her head with her hand, her left elbow was on the counter and she had a full vision of her company.

- I can think of some fun activities we can do without alcohol. - Alex bit her lip and looked from Lena's exposed neck to her blushing cheeks.

Alex got Lena speechless. The green eyes looked anywhere but the woman in front of them, Lena didn't know what to say and that was something she wasn't used to.

- You want to share some of those activities? - now it was Alex's turn to be speechless.

- Well, do you like playing pool?

That was the first thing that came in Alex's mind (the first PG rated thing that came in Alex's mind) but also the worst thing she could say.

Pool was a instant reminder of Maggie for her, she liked to think she was over her but some things remained in the memory. And she tought about her ex fiancee sooner that night, as soon as she sat in the other side of the bar, she couldn't help but think that if she and Maggie hadn't broken up she wouldn't feel the loneliness she was getting used to.

- It's been years since I've played pool. - Lena answered still in a flirting tone, having no idea what was going on in the other woman's mind.

- We could change that, but I don't think they have one in here. - Alex looked around and ecided to come back to the present moment. She finished the liquid in her glass, that would help her clean her mind.

- No, but they do have darts up stairs. - she was regretted in the second she finished, she was awful at darts.

- You don't want to play darts with me, I'm too good at it.

- I may or may not be terrible at darts.

Alex's face went dead serious, Lena was instantly worried she have done something wrong or that Alex suddenly changed her mind about being there with her.

The word "Luthor" was flashing in her had the entire time she was around Alex in all moments, not only there, but being closer to the Danvers Girls and talking like they were somewhat friends made her feel more worried.

Worried Alex would remember her family killed thousands of people and her mother had just kidnapped her father and stand up at any second and leave her there.

And she couldn't even blame her for doing that.

But she didn't.

Instead she said.

- You're not good at darts. - The serious face and the worried face stared at each other - Have I finally found something Lena Luthor is not good at?

- Fuck... - she breathed out relieved - I was scared of what you were going to say. - Alex laughed at her and Lena gave a light slap at her arm.

- How about I teach you? - she suggested.

- You're drunk.

- I'm not! - Alex moved away too fast and lost her balance almost falling, if it wasn't for Lena's hand reaching for hers and holding her in place. - Okay, I am. - that made them both laugh.

- How about I teach you? - she asked again looking straight into Lena's eyes, while their hands were still linked together.

They reached the point that they wouldn't even pretend the attraction wasn't real.

They both knew and could feel that.

They had both turned in the stool some minutes ago so now they were falling each other and Lena wasn't hiding the fact that she was deliberated staring at Alex's lips while thinking about the question.

- Are you a good teacher? - Lena was starting to enjoy the shy smile Alex had in her face every time she teased her, however Agent Danvers was a good player too and that smile was always gone very fast with some provocative answer.

- Only with well behaved students.

- I promiss I won't cause any trouble. - Alex's lips were so close, she could just reach them in less than a second. No, she couldn't.

Alex wanted it so bad, but she wasn't sure if that was just the liquor speaking.

That had so many meanings, it could be just a part of their little roleplay nut it was also what went through Alex's mind every time she tought about closing the distance between them.

Lena was trouble.

- You shouldn't make promesses you can't keep, you know? - Alex stood up, the starring as too intense, she had lost all her protective shield for Lena - Will you lead the way?

Lena nodded and held Alex's hand escorting them upstairs, they made their way between the people dancing on the dance floor, the security in the bottom of the stairs didn't even hesitated before allowing them both to enter the most private part of the club.

The warm in their hands felt almost familiar and when they reached the small round table with high sits near the dartboard they knew it was time to let go but there was no excuse to do that anymore. As soon as they reach the table a young and good looking man came in their direction with a couple of different drinks serving them with a flirting smile.

- Show me your talents. - Lena sked after taking a sip of her drink.

Alex smiled and suddenly felt a little unsure, she wouldn't know where to hide if she missed this. She glanced at her new friend in the seat, watching every move she made.

She picked the three darts stucked in very different places of the board, all very far from the red dot in the middle, the person that played before her clearly wasn't a pro. As she was taking some distance from the wall she gained ger confidence again.

Come on, have you seen her shoot?

The first dart was thrown exactly in the middle of the red dot.

She haven't turned to see Lena's face but sh knew the CEO was surprised.

Once she got the first one right the following two were just a formality, of course she got them right too and she shot them so fast Lena was kind od confused which was each one since the three of them had hit the same perfect spot.

Now that she was done, she turned to Lena and took a step in her direction with a smug. Lena's mouth was hanging, what the hell?

- That was... - Lena was surprised, of course she already expected Alex to be good at that, she had seen her shoot a man with no hesitation and that was impressive enough, but she had also seen Alex take almost ten shots that night.

- Your turn. - she said as she brought the darts to Lena, that still looked quite surprised, that was exactly the reaction she expected.

- There's no way I'm going after that. - Lena had a nervous smile on her face that only a couple of people in her life had seen.

Alex took her hand and made her get up reluctant.

- You can do this, go ahead.

Alex sat on the stol and stared a her company.

Lena didn't even knew what to do with her dart when Alex gave it to her. She divided her look between the woman and the little object in her hand.

- I can see the mechanisms turning.- Alex laughed and Lena shot her a disturbed look.

- Okay, just concentrate. - Alex couldn't just sit there and watch, she did promised to help Lena. - focus on the red dot in the middle, that is the target. - Lena rolled her eyes as Alex explained.

- I might be drunk and might be seeing two targets, but I know what a target is. - Alex couldn't help but laugh at Lena's annoyed voice.

- Just try it.

Lena rolled her eyes again and tuned to the board, she tried o imitate Alex's body when she was doing the same but she was sure she was not even close to the right position, she took a deep breath and threw the dart.

The dart was about 10 inches away from the middle, all the way to the left side and, honestly, looked like it was about to fall out of the board.

- It wasn't that bad. - Alex said as Lena was still staring at the wall, seeming defeated.

- Good teachers don't lie to their students. - she said as she turned to Alex and headed back to the table.

- What are you doing? You can't give up. - Alex said taking the drink out of her hand and linking their hands together. - One more try?

Here's one thing that you probably already know: Lena was really competitive and she hated losing, but at this moment it was more than that. She and Alex had set the entire night on this nonstop provocations that were only fun because them both had the perfect answer.

Right now she felt like she was out of the game.

Alex's eyes stared at hers so deep that she wished she wasn't that drunk so she could remember exactly how it felt like in the morning.

These eyes, they made ger feel like drowning, like sinking deep down into the ocean and she wasn't sure she wanted to come back.

That was the effect of Alex's look on her. Like drowning; and finding out what's under the sea feels more real than the hot sand.

She didn't wanted to go back to the superficie, but she knew she would have to.

- Alex... - she started unsure - Can we not tell Kara about tonight?

That was the superficie.

- That you can't play darts? - Alex joked, but knew exactly what Lena was talking about.

Lena kept staring at her completely ignoring the joke.

Alex was so unconfortable talking about this, she's been trying to let go of Kara the entire night. What was happening right now would never happen in any other situation, especially if Kara was involved in it.

Mostly because they wouldn't be this drunk and Kara wouldn't let them feel lonely as they were when they arrived, but also because Kara was the reality, was the everyday, and they knew that they were far from that.

A friendship between Lena and Kara was already hard to imagine but between Lena and Alex? That was just delusional.

- It will be between us. - they nodded knowing what that meant. - I said I would teach you, come on. - Alex tried again.

By now, they were so comfortable with each other that even tho Lena knew just how bad she would be, she couldn't help but try once. It wasn't normal for her to do something just because it was fun, especially if it included her being vulnerable in front of someone.

- You'll have to stop laughing and keep your breath steady. Focus on the targed.

I think it is a nice idea to describe their positions on this scene, specially if you're ever interested in playing darts. Which I'm sure you are.

Lena had her body exactly in front of the board, Alex led her to be in the right position, with the right side of her body facing the wall. Her hands were on Lena's waist and the other led her arm to be on the exact height it was supposed to be for the perfect shot.

Alex moved her left hand to Lena's stomach, making sure that the woman kept her breathing calm, and she had no idea how hard that was.

- Close your left eye, and lift your hand until the dart is covering the target.

Lena lifted her arm a little and closed her eye just like she was told to do, Alex's right hand followed hers and just like that their bodies were completely connected.

- The pressure is the hardest thing to get right, ok? - Alex's mouth was just behind her ear, she was speaking low and calmly trying not to disconcentrate Lena but she was only making it worst. - Take a deep breath and throw it in the second you exhale. You get it? - Lena nodded slowly and Alex could feel her breath.

Neither of them moved a single millimeter, as Lena felt Alex's respiration in her neck, her eyes left the board and looked at the woman's face, closer than has ever been.

- Let's make a bet. - she said not moving a inch, her voice was a drunk whisper, the alcohol in her voice made Alex feel even more filled by the moment and Lena's devious smile was not any help. - If I lose, I'll buy the next round. - Alex's mouth had a bit open, hypnotized by the green eyes so close and so fixated on her. - But if I get it right, you kiss me.

Lena Luthor was like a wizard's watch moving from one side to the other, she couldn't keep her eyes off of her and at the same time she was taken to another dimension. She had ever though she would be in this situation with her, but right now she was so hypnotized that she didn't know how to leave, she didn't even wanted to leave, and that was something to worry about.

But not now.

Alex bit her own lip and nodded silently.

Lena focused on the target, took a deep breath and shot the dart.

Now she had another reason to get this one right, as she prepared to the show neither one of them moved, not even a inch, their bodies remained in the same place. Alex looked at Lena's concentrated face instead of the wall.

The dart was thrown and they both looked at it as soon as it hit the board.

- I guess I'm paying our drinks. - Lena said with a nervous smile.

The bet was only made because she really thought there was a chance she got that one right. Now she was just humiliated in two different ways.

Alex let go of her waist and she instantly missed it. She watched as the agent took a few steps towards the board.

Lena haven't had the chance to see Alex's face after she missed the shot, she had n idea if she was disappointed or glad that she missed.

Her eyes continued following the woman, Alex went straight for the dart she had just thrown, she pulled it fast and pinned it back at he board, except this time the dart was exactly in the middle of the red dot.

She kept looking at Alex.

Alex turned back her body to a now very confused Lena Luthor.

- What are you talking about? - she said pretending nothing happened.

- Alex... - Lena laughed.

- You're a natural. - her exaggerated surprised look only made Lena laugh even more. Alex slowly got closer to her, looking straight in her eyes, Lena couldn't help but smile.

- Alex, you don't have to do this. - Lena bit her lip as Alex got close enough to hold her by her waist, her hands immediatly reached for Alex's arms and the contact felt more right than everything she have done in a long time.

They stared at each other and wished they were more drunk. Right now they felt, they remembered, they expected a little too much than they should for it to mean nothing.

- I think you just found out a new talent.

Alex's lips and drunk breath were a second away fom her, closer than has been the whole night. The agent wanted this, she reached a moment she couldn't contain herself and she knew lena also wanted this. She wouldn't make the bet if shedidn'r, but it was before that, it was more than that. It was the touch, the eyes, the voice, the proximity.

The game was on its way to a end.

The encounter was fast, Alex reached for her lips n a single movement or else she would lose the courage. Her hands remained in Lena's hips, bringing their bodies closer, not letting one empty inch between them. Lena's hands wennt straight to the other woman's neck, she held Alex and controled the kiss in a way there wa no doubt she would. Her thumb brushed Alex's cheek, but her other fingers mixed with her hair, the movement of passion and caring was just a reflex of the relationship they both initiated this night.

However, the great climax of this moment, the epitome of this kiss was on their lips. They felt right and they felt home, it was temptative at first, it was a risk, and as Lena's lips reacted opening and deepening the kiss, it was a risk worthy taking. Their mouths opened and closed tasting each other, Alex's lips parted one more time as Lena's tongue entered them giving new sensations for both of them. It was not what they expected.

Of course it was hot, tasted like alcohol, felt like preliminaries and smelled like scotch and a night club, but it was also way, and in more than one way it felt like something that wouldn't end tonight.

Alex slightly bit Lena's lower lip and held it between her teeth, their eyes met, Alex released Lena's mouth then brought her hand to the woman's chin and gave a light kiss on her lips.

The game was finally over. There was no left dart to throw.

They stared at each other and had no idea what to do next.

Lena's fingers continued to stroke Alex's hair, near to her neck, but still, they had no idea what followed that. Alex's panoramic view saw one of the waiters approaching them and separated their bodies still not letting go of Lena's waist.

- Do you need a drink? - The control freak, powerful CEO, probably dominatrix, asked reluctat with a husky unstable voice.

- Sure. - Alex answered smiling trying not to be a idiot and laugh.

Lena nodded and walked her way to the table, only to have Alex pushing her by the hand and meeting her lips again.

Alex held Lena's face with both hands, she needed to know that the kiss wasn't just begginers luck and a first time thing, she needed the answer even tho she would have no idea what to do with this.

Lena grabbed Alex's jacket and smiled between the kiss, their mouths parted and they continued to smile at each other.

The short haired woman narrowed her eyes and locked their lips again, that was a situation none of them could think of when they left their houses at the beggining of the evening, the highest expectation they had was to get drunk and not throw up too much when they arrived home, never crossed their minds that they would not only run into each other but find themselves in each other. Lena threw her arms over Alex's shoulders and, as cliche as it may sound, everything around them was just a blur.

The kiss, the touches, the warmth, the tastes, they all started to get lost, their hot breaths melted every wall that existed, Alex's lips on Lena's neck and their hands now travelling further into their bdies left them no choice but leave.

Lena's private driver was already outside and they didn't even realized the steps they were taking (physical and emotional ones), they were just being led by desire, connection and loneliness.

In the car, Alex's hands made their way through Lena's legs and thights, before she could kneel down and give Lena everythig she deserved right there, the driver announced they arrived. Alex somehow, between having Lena's lips on he neck and hands under her shirt, managed to give him her address.

They were rushing, their hands were all over the place and they desired each other's bodies in a way no elevator make out could handle. Lena and Alex waited for this the whole night, from the first flirty comment to the second before they kissed. Alex pressed Lena's body between her and the elevaor wall, she held the CEO hands above them and kissed from her ear lobe to her chest, Lena moaned her name and moved her hands begging for control even tho she knew there was no point fighting Alex, that was so much stronger than her.

She haven't even taken off one piece of clothes but she was already begging for relief.

- Don't leave a mark. - Lena said between a loud moan that she couldn't supress. Alex smiled while kissing her neck and then replaced it for her lips.

Right now, I must add, neither one wanted to say, they might not even realize that now, but they were starting to get addicted to each other. How could it be so new, but already feel like home? Was it Lena's need to find a home? Or was it Alex's need to create her own?

The elevator doors opened and Alex released her hands, Lena's instantly used them to pull Alex even closer, they were so lost in each other that the doors begin closing while they were distracted. Alex quickly left the kiss and held the elevator, not letting go of Lena's waist.

They walked side by side until they reached the inside of Alex's apartment, as soon as they were finally alonne, Lena pushed the agent against the wall and kissed her senseless while working on her belt.

- Are you in a rush? - Alex mocked her in the middle of the kiss.

- Shut up, Danvers. - Lena shot her an annoyed look and Alex forgot everything else in her life just by having those beautiful green eyes starring at her.

By the time they reached the bed they bot had already orgasmed twice, and that would never be enough. Except now, they were calmer, they had the excitation but they weren't out of breath and that changed the dynamic.

Alex threw Lena in the bed and stood there, they were both completely naked, their hair was absolutely a mess and were covered in sweat, she stared Lena's body and started to lean in, slowly, she kept getting closer and Lena would not move one inch her breathh was steady and her eyes followed every movement Alex made. Placing her hands in the bed in each side of the CEO body, next to her shoulders, she leaned in until her face was close to Lena's chest that the woman would feel her breath but not close enough to touch.

The older Danvers took a deep breath; Lena smelled like sex and alcohol but she also smelled like some flower that Alex would never identify and vanilla, she left a soft kiss just between her breasts and she felt the shivers in Lena's skin.

Lena had no idea what Alex intended to do, she was torned between pulling the woman's hair and leading her head to her pussy so she could orgasm again as quick as possible or letting Alex tak her time, kiss every single part of her body and fuck her slowly.

With all the patience of the world, Alex made her way up to Lena's face with soft kissed and small bites, the moans almost inaudible would only made her go slower, with her lips brushing Lena's lips she asked:

- How drunk are you?

That was the final question. That could be the end, or the possibility of a beggining, but neither of them would think that far.

Lena wasn't drunnk anymore, she was definetely dizzy, she felt like she was out of reality and she could almost feel the endorfin in her veins. However, she wasn't sure if that was because of the alcohol or just a reaction to having Alex so close to her – and having Alex kneeled on the floor with two fingers inside her, tongue pressing her clit while she tried to balance just twenty minutes ago.

She might feel like she was drunk, but she wasn't, she wouldn't like to Alex and she knew Alex wouldn't continue this is she wasn't able to consent.

But saying she was sober would have too many meanings and she would have to be drunk to face them.

- I'm not.

She took a risk.

She threw a dart.

Alex kissed her. Slow, passionate, deep. It almost felt like something real. She held Alex's face and tangled one leg with alex's, she craved for contact, she wanted to feel.

Something.

Anything.

Especially, Alex.

The agent needed to know if this was a druk mistake or just a very stupid thing.

In the middle of the kiss all of her worries were gone.

...

In the middle of the night Lena was gone.

Alex woke up alone.

The hangover was already expected, the empty bed should have been too.

Nevertheless, she knew the hangover would be gone soon, but there was always a new game of darts to play.

Thank you so much for reaching this point! Like to support my work <3

The First and Maybe Only One

This one goes to one my fave people @flickerrhoran because you suggested I do “Firsts” and while I don’t think I’ll keep going, it did inspire me to write this and I hope you like it! 

And another shoutout to @wantniallie because you’re always so supportive of me writing anything! 

It was another cold, winter day. Niall had been in and out of meetings all day and even inside he had felt the cold weather. Somehow all of the meetings ran longer than expected and Niall had to rush from each location, get into the car and rush to the next location for his next meeting. Niall made a mental note to wear more layers next time even though he knew that he probably wouldn’t.

By the time he had finished all of this meetings for the day it was already 4pm and he’d been up since 6am. All he wanted was to relax and maybe take a nap. But he couldn’t today. He’s invited some people over for a little party just for the hell of it. Niall thought it would be good to get some friends together, have some beers and order some take out. A proper lads night in. Of course he wouldn’t admit, even to himself, that the real reason he’d wanted to have this little gathering was so he could see Harry for longer than a few minutes.

Things hadn’t been the same in the past few months. Niall had seen and talked to Harry less and less each month but he understood that it was because they were both so busy and at times in different sides of the world. It made Niall feel a little sad, to think about how much he missed all the time he spent with Harry in the past compared to now. He’s taken it for granted and would do anything to see Harry for just a few hours again.

Niall snapped out of his thoughts as he arrived home. He almost ran inside to get away from the cold and turned all of the lights on in his flat. It was almost five now, perfect. He had an hour to shower and get dressed before everyone would show up. As much as Niall wanted to take a quick shower, once the hot water hit his skin he started to feel his muscles begin to relax from the long day. His thoughts began to wonder to times he’d spent with Harry alone. Times where he thought maybe he should do something about his feelings and others where he regretted doing something as subtle as placing his hand on Harry’s thigh because all of a sudden everyone's eyes were on them. Niall decided to turn the water off and get out of the shower before his thoughts got the best of him.

He walked over to his closet with a towel wrapped around his waist. He wondered for a moment what Harry would be wearing. He has to stop this. His thoughts. They can’t get the best of him tonight. He wanted to enjoy the time with his friends. Niall picked out a simple shirt and some black skinny jeans. Finally, he takes a deep breath and starts taking out the snacks he bought so they would have something to eat while everyone got there and he ordered food for dinner. Then Niall walked over to his closet where he has a lot of board games and while that may seem childish he enjoyed playing those games and he wanted everyone coming over to have a good time. Niall had thought ahead and set up a video game area, board game area, food area and tv area that way everyone could do what they wanted.

Just as Niall was putting on some music, there was a knock at his door followed by a loud voice saying, “Open the door Niall!” Niall could recognize DUDE # 1’s voice.  

Everyone started getting there soon after that, all minutes apart. Niall barely even had time to prepare himself when all of a sudden Harry was there, at his door. He was wearing a black button up shirt that wasn’t buttoned up all the way and Niall could see Harry’s chest just slightly.

“Harry!” Niall smiled and went to hug him.

Harry chucked and hugged Niall back, “Hey Niall.”

Fuck, Harry smelled good. He always did but somehow it felt like tonight he smelled especially good. Niall inhaled Harry’s scent once more before pulling back from the hug to look at him.

“Come in, almost everyone is here already,” Niall said and began to guide Harry inside with a hand lightly on his back.

“There’s food, drinks and games. You can choose what you want to do,” Niall told Harry, even though what he really wanted was for Harry to stay by his side the whole night.

“What games do you have?” Harry asked Niall as Harry began to walk over to the board games section, which was empty aside from two guys that Niall didn’t really know but knew were friends of friends.

“I don’t have Scrabble, Harry,” Niall said, knowing that was one of Harry’s favorites.

“Aw, well why not?” Harry asked him, almost pouting at Niall.

“No one ever wants to play it except my mum,” Niall responded as he tried to hide the smile that was forming on his lips.

“And me,” Harry said as he raised an eyebrow at Niall, as if to challenge him.

“And you,” Niall said in the same tone as Harry. “I’ll get Scrabble next time just for you,” Niall adds, not taking his eyes off Harry.

Harry smiled at him, “Yeah?”

“Yeah,” Niall said with a smile.

Harry and Niall reached the table where the other two guys were and sat down with them. The guy that was sitting against the window had short, dark hair and was pretty muscular. The guy to his left had longer, slightly curly hair and had a pair of glasses on. The guys were in the middle of trying to decide what game they wanted to play.

“Life was my childhood favorite, let's play that first,” the guy against the window said.

“Alright but let’s play Clue after, it’ll take longer,” the guy to his left said.

“Hey, you guys wanna play with us?” the guy against the window asked Harry and Niall.

“Yeah, sure.” Niall said with a nod.

“I’m Sam by the way, I don’t think I’ve met either of you before,” the guy against the window said to them. “And this is Michael,” he added and gestured toward the guy to his left.

They all exchanged names and decided to start playing Life. As they started to play Niall couldn’t help but notice that there seemed to be something seemingly going on between Harry and that Sam guy. Harry had sat down across from him and every time Niall was looking towards Harry, Harry was distractedly looking at Sam. Almost as if he was checking him out. This made Niall feel jealous, even though he had not right to. This went on for most of the game and Niall was frustrated. He wanted all of Harry’s attention on him and definitely not on someone else. Niall sat as close to Harry as he could without making it obvious and kept brushing his arm against Harry’s when it was his turn to move his little car in the game. About half way through the game Harry was the first to land on the ‘get married’ part and it made everyone chuckle as they all ‘ooh’d and ahh’d’ about it jokingly. Harry was playing a second person to his little car when Sam placed his hand on top of Harry’s to stop him.

“Before you do that, you have to say who you’re marrying, it’s a tradition my family and I always had. So Harry, tells us who’s going to be your wife or perhaps, husband?” Sam asked him with a grin, not removing the hand that was on top of Harry’s.

Harry laughed softly and bit his lip as he thought about it.

“Kate Beckinsale,” Harry finally answered. Sam pulled his hand back and said, “Kate Beckinsale it is!”

They kept playing the game but Niall was on edge the whole time, not being able to think past that little encounter between Harry and Sam. In the end, Michael, who had been losing the whole time, ended up winning. They were getting ready to play Clue next when Niall decided it was best to excuse himself to get some air. He hoped that he wouldn't regret leaving them alone but he needed a moment to get himself together again because only Harry could make him feel like this without even doing a fucking thing.

“I’m going to get another beer, anyone want anything?” Niall asked as he got up. Everyone replied that they were good and began to set up the game.

Niall walked into the kitchen and grabbed a beer than walked out into the balcony where some of his friends were talking and relaxing. He looked out at the view for a moment before he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It has been a stupid idea really, to expect Harry to act any different towards him now. They’d spent months sharing the tour bus, hotel rooms, ideas, hell even clothes, but Niall had always just been another one of Harry’s lads and nothing more. Meanwhile, Niall had begun to see Harry differently as he spent more time together. He saw the Harry that no one else did. The Harry that loved watching old movies because “the classics are the best Niall” he would say. Niall cherished those moments because he felt Harry open up to him. Harry would tell Niall stories about the first time he saw a movie with his family and why it meant so much to him. And sometimes when they were watching these movies, Harry would grab Niall’s arm to get his attention when a part Harry loved would be coming up. Harry would softly grab his arm and tighten his grip as the scene came to. Sometimes Harry would be so caught up in the movie that he didn’t realize that he was still holding on to Niall’s arm and Niall would be happy. He could feel Harry’s soft skin against his. He could feel the warmth and he wanted to stay like that forever.

Just at that moment, Niall felt a hand on his shoulder and he opened his eyes and turned around to see Harry standing there.

“Oh hey,” Niall said and cleared his throat, trying to forget the memories still at the surface.

“You okay, mate?” Harry asked, looking slightly concerned.

“Yeah, all good. Just wanted some fresh air,” Niall said and took a sip of his beer.

Harry nodded, dropped his hand from Niall’s shoulder and moved to stand next to him.

“It’s such a nice night, a bit cold though. Aren’t you cold?” Harry asked, watching him.

“Yeah a bit but I’ll go back in soon,” Niall answered, trying to keep his cool under Harry’s watch.

“That was a fun game,” Harry said, not taking his eyes off Niall who was trying to keep his gaze out in front of him as best he could.

“Yeah it was, haven’t played the game in a while,” Niall said.

Harry didn’t respond to that but Niall felt him move closer to him. Niall shivered a little but not from the cold. It was the feeling of having Harry so close to him.

“I knew you were cold but you’re trying to be a tough guy,” Harry said as he felt Niall shiver. “Let’s go back inside before you get yourself sick and I have take care of you,” he added as he turned to go back inside.

“That wouldn’t be so bad, would it? For you to take care of me,” Niall responded without thinking.

“You’re awful when you’re sick,” Harry said and laughed, “You would complain the whole time.”

“I don’t complain that much,” Niall mumbled, knowing that Harry was right. He was a big baby when he got the slightest bit sick.

Harry laughed and shook his head, “Whatever you say Horan.”

Niall couldn’t stop the smile that formed on his lips when Harry called him Horan. It was one of his favorite things.

They went back inside and played Clue a few times before they went to get something to eat and moved on to video games. Niall was having a lot of fun with his friends and decided to forget about everything he’d been worried about with Harry, who hadn’t left Niall’s side almost all night. Someone had turned the ping pong game into a beer pong tournament which meant that Niall’s flat was a mess by the time they were done and everyone had drank their fair share. Niall was great at beer pong and he had learned that Harry was not as great or very good at all. Niall actually drank some for Harry when no one was looking because he wasn’t sure if Harry would even be able to hold himself up if he drank more. After a while, Harry and Niall had purposely moved on to something else as Niall was afraid Harry would be completely drunk if they didn’t. They chose to play some video games for a while and Niall got Harry some coffee to drink. He was a pain about it, telling Niall he didn’t drink just any kind of coffee, he had his specialties and didn’t want to drink anything else. But he wouldn’t be Harry if he did, would he?

Eventually everyone had either left to go home or fallen asleep in one of the spare rooms as they were too drunk to go anywhere. It was well past midnight and Harry and Niall were the only ones left sitting on the couch in the living room. They were both slightly tipsy and maybe that was why they couldn’t seem to quiet their laughter as they reminisced about the fun time they’d had that night and other nights they’d shared together on tour.

Harry was sitting so close to Niall that he couldn’t stand it anymore. He wanted to touch him. He wanted to caress his cheek and run his hands through his hair. Niall wanted Harry in his arms and he wasn’t sure if it was because he was tired of being subtle about his feelings or because he needed to move on but he decide he was going to do something about it. Niall was going to go for it and he was either going to be really happy or really sad but fuck it he didn’t care anymore. Now when Harry was sitting so close to him, looking at him the way he was. Either way he would know how Harry felt. And that would be better than all of this wondering and all of this wanting that he had. Harry was sitting next to him on the couch, his head resting on the back of it. Niall inhaled slowly and grabbed Harry’s hand, intertwining it with his. Harry moved his head slightly to look over at Niall, slight curiosity was written all over his face.

“Your fingers are so long,” Niall mumbled, looking at their hands.

“Mhmm,” Harry responded softly.

Harry wasn’t even the slightest bit tipsy anymore, his eyes were drooping from sleep not the alcohol he’d had tonight. Harry would surely remember everything tomorrow morning just as Niall would. Good, that’s what Niall wanted. If Harry kissed him back Niall didn’t want to doubt that Harry would blame it on the alcohol. He wouldn't be able to handle that.

Niall kept doubting his own decision.

Maybe he shouldn’t do anything.

But fuck, he needed to know now. Harry was so close to him and Niall knew there was no going back after this.

Niall dropped Harry’s hand on his lap and ran his hand along Harry’s arm and then up to his jaw very slowly, looking directly into Harry’s eyes as he did it.

Harry watched Niall intently, waiting to see what he would do next. The sleep seemed to be gone from Harry’s eyes and they were wider, more alert.

Niall traced along Harry’s jaw with his thumb and he saw Harry start to close his eyes just slightly as a reaction to what Niall was doing.

“Harry,” Niall said firmly.

“Niall,” Harry responded softly.

Niall didn’t move at all and he wasn’t even sure if he was breathing or forgot how to, but he looked at Harry like his life depended on it. And maybe, just maybe, it did.

This was the moment that Niall had been both anticipating and dreading all at the same time.

Niall began to move forward towards Harry. His movements were slow and deliberate to give Harry time to understand what Niall was about to do. To give him a chance to pull away. But Harry didn’t. To Niall’s surprise, he began to see Harry move forward as well. They were barely touching and Niall’s breath was already uneven. He felt like his heart might just beat right out of his chest.

Harry stopped moving as they rested their foreheads against each other. Niall couldn’t get himself to move. They sat there for what felt like years, waiting. What they were waiting for, neither of them knew. They were sharing a moment that felt so intimate that any movement could shatter it in seconds.

And finally, it was Harry that finally broke the silence of it all.

“I’m going to kiss you now,” Harry said, his lips barely brushing against Niall’s as he spoke and began to move again. Harry leaned in, closing the small distance between their lips, and softly kissed Niall’s lips for the very first time. His hands were on Niall’s face, holding him in place so tenderly. Niall couldn’t begin to understand that this was happening. Harry’s lips, softer than he imagined, were pressed against his. Niall kissed Harry back once his brain registered what was happening. He softly moved his lips to Harry’s rhythm, which was slow and almost teasing. And before Niall knew it, they were both pulling their lips apart so they could catch their breath. Neither of them spoke for a moment. They just looked at each other as their breathing went back to normal.

Harry rested his head against Niall’s again like that moment before the kiss but it felt different this time. All Niall could think about was the way Harry’s lips felt against his and how he wanted to kiss him again and again.

“I’ve been waiting for you to do that,” Harry finally said quietly, bringing Niall out of his thoughts.

“And I’ve been waiting for you to do it,” Niall said, surprised. He’d never seen any signs to tell him that maybe Harry felt the same. Niall had always thought that it was one sided. Niall was the one inviting Harry to hang out all the time. He was the one finding any excuse to grab Harry’s hand or arm. He was the one always complimenting Harry’s hair or outfits. “You never...you never gave me a sign that you wanted me to.” Niall added.

“You really think I let anyone hold my hand when we’re watching a movie?” Harry mumbled, pressing one quick, small kiss to Niall’s lips as if he didn’t wanted to forget what it felt like to have his lips against Niall’s.

Niall stared at him for a moment before answering, “No, I guess not.”

Harry laughed softly, “You’re an idiot.”

Niall can’t help but laugh too. Harry always told Niall that his laugh was contagious but really it was Harry’s that was contagious. “You kissed me,” Niall said, filled with an emotion that he could only describe as happy.

“You were going to kiss me, weren’t you?” Harry asked and he sounded unsure. As if there was some reason that Niall would have been that close to him that wasn’t to kiss Harry.

“Of course I was going to Harry. Do you really think I let anyone kiss me like that?” Niall asked, using Harry’s own words against him.

Harry smiled at Niall, a slight blush appearing on his cheeks. And in that moment, that was the most beautiful thing Niall could see. He was the reason for Harry’s reaction. He caused it. That made Niall happy. Happier than he’d felt around anyone in a while. Niall wrapped his arms around Harry and pulled him close to him. Harry did the same, finding the right spot to make himself comfortable. Harry placed his head on Niall’s chest and closed his eyes and even though Niall couldn’t see it there was a smile on Harry’s face. Niall ran his hands through Harry’s soft curls and couldn’t believe that he was in a place he’d only dreamed of, with Harry in his arms. And Niall knew that he could easily get used to this.

They didn’t talk about what happened or what the kiss had meant or hadn’t meant. Both Harry and Niall simply enjoyed the feeling of being in each other’s arms in that moment, on that night. And that was enough for the both of them.

Thoughts on the Books

Disclaimer: These thoughts do not represent each individual of the Choices fandom. They are simply the thoughts that I have viewed and understand from the votes and posts from many people of the Choices fandom. They could likely be only my thoughts. This is why I encourage you to express your thoughts when you like and reblog! :)

1) Endless Summer: This mystery book has caught our hearts (and money.) Characters have much more depth than most stories and have many secrets hidden, which we are dying to discover. La Huerta is a strange place, and we want to reveal what it truly is. We can see Pixelberry’s hard word in every mystery and puzzle there is. This book has a little of everything, and we are very, very, very, VERY glad Book 2 just came out. And can we talk about the art? Magnificent.

2) The Freshman: It has 4 books for a reason, and a 5th one coming soon. We just love this gang and their crazy adventures. We might be a little annoyed because of some certain drama. (You know who you are, characters.) But who said life was easy? And just wait until next year! More drama to come! College will never be the same.

3) The Royal Romance: This new book has become popular real fast, and many more are joining in this royal phenomenon. What can we say? There’s a lot to love about this book! All these characters are precious cinnamon rolls! We wish we can hug them and protect them! And it’s so hilarious when you act ridiculous! Now there’s only one thing left. Make Maxwell a proper LI!

4) The Crown & The Flame: Many are mourning for the end of this wonderful trilogy. We remember the times of enjoying the little things, the moments in between, knowing that at any time anyone can die. And sadly, people did die. But we survived these tragic moments and we’re ready for one final battle. One that’ll decide everything. (Let’s get rid of this awful lighting queen who killed our Leon! And protect Lia, this precious angel.)

5) Rules of Engagement: This book could have done better. There some weird plots that don’t make sense. Things could have been explained better. We can't understand how everyone believes our ridiculous Aunt. And why is Nana controlling our lives? She shouldn’t force us to make serious decisions hastily. Nevertheless, this books has some good moments in between and we love our fiancée. Let’s get married! (NO LBD, PLEASE.) Oh, there’s an option to throw Aunt What’s-Her-Name overboard? 30 diamonds, you say? Here you go. We regret nothing.

6) #LoveHacks: Ah, this book is giving me some Cheers vibes. We have an awesome diverse set of characters, who just make us laugh. We enjoy everything each character has to bring. Of course, they’re some parts that are just meh, but we have to admit this book has something different. It’s probably Dopey Cat. But let’s be honest, isn’t he the most cutest thing you ever seen?

7) Most Wanted: This story left us on a cliffhanger, and we’re waiting anxiously for a second Book 2. With the chemistry each characters have, they are something we would love to see. The stooges are amazing. And how about more backstories? We need to know about Dave’s past. With more to explore, we are ready for a sequel. You know why? SAM AND DAVE. SAM AND DAVE. Why wasn’t there a kiss option?! Just kidding, we need to bring these crazy killers to justice!

8) The Haunting of Braidwood Manor: This book is just creepy. But in a good way. Play with music in the middle of the night, and you’re sure to get nightmares. But moving on, weren’t those children just adorable? They’re so precious. I’m sure many of us enjoyed interacting with that family. But it’s last chapter was a dark, discussing about topics that may make some uncomfortable. But for those who did played, we were kinda sad it only had 6 chapters. (Then again, I don’t think many could have survived having more chapters with those crazy characters. Too scary. And that music? Nope. Not having that.)

So, those are the results! What do you think? What can Choices do to make them better? Put them down! Also, like, reblog, and comment! I would love know your thoughts about Choices, their books, and Choices Book Voting!

Thanks again to all the voters! It was nice to see what you thought about Choices Books! I hope you can vote again next time!

Didn’t voted for this round? Don’t worry! We will meet up again to vote during this week: July 25, 2017 - July 31, 2017.

See you until then!
