It's really wild to think that what started in drafts as a fanfiction story for Choices "The Freshman" in 2018, evolved into a full, original novel.

THE SENATOR releases 4.15.25 by Rising Action Publishing and will be distributed by Simon & Schuster.

Thanks to everyone who supported a very rough, very unpolished story that gave me the determination to become an author--now releasing my second book. The characters are different, with original origin stories and plot points, so I hope you'll still love it.

My former user name in the Choices fandom was "drivenbyfantasy." I'm like 99.9999% sure that after I deactivated my blog it is now a porn blog (please don't look), but if you remember me and my work, please say hello!

Appreciation post.

My feeds been hella quiet and I don’t know why all (300 wtf) of you still follow me but I appreciate you all the same. Since Im not as active as I’d like to be Id like to recommend my top three authors for you to go and connect with:

I read NSFW stuff consistently, however I recommend these three because of the intricate writing styles that they have, and the plots that they create. Their NSFW section is pretty lit too. these are mature blogs.

@boneandfur : Her crackships and stories are basically cannon if you ask me. (Or PB outside of the office, we see you). I adore the dark twist she gives her stories, and she created DarkDrake TM.Go give her a follow and check out her amazing writing skills. When it comes down to words I dont know who to choose for top spot, because both bone and walkerwhipped take my BREATH away every time I read their stories. 

@drakewalkerwhipped : Chelsea. I see you. My heart cant take reading your fics but I do anyway. Hands down GOD TIER writing. She captures emotions better than most of the things I have ever read. Check her out. but bring the tissues for sure.

@drivenbyfantasy : The first friend I made on Tumblr. And an amazing Freshman writer. Her stories are very fleshed out and surprisingly accurate. Shes the swweeetttest, and makes me re-fall for Chris every time I visit her blog. 

Just a side note, I am a little biased on these three because they are among my favorite internet people but it should fill your dash with some amazing reads.

Unexpected Love ch.3

Unexpected Love

Chapter 3:

Based loosely on TRR by Pixelberry publishing. Author’s Notes: Characters owned by Pixelberry studios, I have no claim to the characters in this story other than my MC.

Though this story is loosely based on the same characters and my MC (Cindy Jo Beckett) also called (Jo or affectionately Jo Jo) the story comes through a little differently with my MC having had a dark painfully hard upbringing. Her past will unfold as the story is told. Main characters remain in this story and maybe later some new ones. Timeline of Choices: Pixleberry story will vary.

Summary: This Drake -x -MC AU will be focused on a chance meeting where Liam didn’t meet her in New York only Drake by chance…..later after this series is complete , I will rewrite the series where Liam becomes a LI as well. So prepare for a slow burn and some angst: I hope you like it. Face claims Cote De Pablo (Cindy Jo) and Matt Bommer (Drake) Tom Selleck (Uncle Mitch) Catch Previous Chapter Here: message me and I send it to you can’t figure out how to include previous posts.

Chapter Three:

She cleans up after them placing the whiskey back behind the bar and locking up on their way out she says my apartments only a few blocks from here. As they are walking she grabs his arm and says hold on and removes her high heels while bracing herself against him. He laughs and says “why do you wear those things if they are so uncomfortable?” She simply states I don’t think my boots would have matched matter of factly. Ok this is it they enter her building and take the elevator to the 5th floor…she has the corner apartment; She unlocks the door and ushers him in and says welcome to my home earnestly. He walks in admiring the modest apartment she sees an amused look on his face and she says “what?” He walks through the living room area admiring her photos everywhere and says nothing it’s just not what I expected that’s all.” What did you expect? she asks” He said I don’t know the way you were dressed tonight I expected something a little more high end I guess.” She smiles and says nah that’s not me I just need the essentials I like to live simply…he waits a beat and says me too. Looking at her photos he says “are these all friends and family?” Ya she says. He stops at one in particular of an older gentleman and a horse and says “this is a great shot is that your father?”

She smiles warmly with a hint of a sad smile and says no that’s my Uncle Mitch, her voice cracks a little when she says he and my Uncle Tom raised me since I was fourteen….he stammers a little and says “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to upset you.” No its ok it’s not like you could have known, She clears her throat and fights back her tears and says I uh lost my father when I was twelve and then I lost my mother when I was fourteen. Seeing her turn away and wipe a couple of tears he decides to change the subject and says it’s a great photo did you grow up on the ranch in the photo?” I did she says and I took that photo…actually I took all the photos in here except the one of my parents there. He looks at here with a surprised smirk on his face and she smiles laughing a little and says what?” He looks at her with an expression of amazement and says “nothing it’s that just when I think you can’t impress me anymore than you already have you go and surprise me again.” (He nervously sticks his hands in his pockets as she says “so what time is your flight tomorrow?” he says 9am out of JFK.” Cindy Jo looks at her watch and says wow it’s already 2:30 am I better let you get some shut eye!” Come on I’ll show you around; she shows him the restroom and the spare bedroom across the hall. She sates “I probably have some clothes that you can fit if you’d like to shower and sleep comfortably.” He raises his brows and says keep your boyfriends clothes around do ya?” No she chides they are my Uncle’s he keeps clothes here for when he comes to visit from Texas. Shower wouldn’t hurt that would be great thanks he says graciously.  

As he showers she changes into her short pajama shorts and a tank top, leaving her master bedroom she walks into the spare room to lay out his clothes for him. Just as she’s laying them on his bed he walks in wearing only a towels wrapped around his waist carrying his clothes. She stops in her tracks and eyes him in awe from the floor up noticing his prominent abs and the V-muscle disappearing into his towel. (All the while she is checking him out he doesn’t notice because standing there looking at here in her sleep clothes his quietly thinking Jesus she’s gorgeous her clothes a little tight and her hair up in a messy bun with loose strands of hair falling around her perfectly heart shaped face) He gulps letting out a breath he wasn’t aware he was holding and she blushes clearing her throat saying huh here’s some clothes you can sleep in it’s just a pair of joggers and an old t-shirt; well good night Drake a please make yourself at home…he half smiles and says good night Beckett. As she walks past him and into the hallway he says hey Beckett…yeah she says turning on her heel to face him. He says thanks for everything tonight it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. I’m glad she smiles; well I’ll see you in the morning I guess….Cindy Jo returns to her bedroom closing the door behind her and climbs into her bed.

~Cindy Jo’s POV~

         I don’t think I’m going to get a wink of sleep….Drake is hands down the sexiest man I’ve ever seen, and he’s sleeping here in my apartment. Stop it Jo you don’t hook up with complete strangers….Uncle Mitch and Tom would kill me if they knew I let a complete stranger from another Country spend the night with me. She tosses and turns trying to drift off to sleep, lying on her back staring at the projection clock on here ceiling counting the seconds she knows she’s not going to be able to sleep. Uggh she groans throwing the covers off herself she quietly sneaks into the kitchen and starts to warm milk on the stove like her momma used to do for her when she couldn’t sleep. The only good thing that came with no sleep was at least she wouldn’t have to worry about her reoccurring nightmares. She sets quietly at the kitchen island sipping her warm milk.

~Drake’s POV~

I can’t believe she invited me back to sleep in her apartment… she’s too sweet for her own good taking mental note to scold her in the morning for letting a perfect stranger into her home in the middle of the night. God she looked so good in her sleep wear hasn’t she ever heard of loose fitting pajamas? She’s beautiful when she dresses for an occasion or in just PJ’s without a stitch of make-up on; she says she likes to live simply I wonder if she’d like living at the cabin back home. Shut up Drake that will never happen she’s amazing she deserves someone who could give her the world not someone like me. Ughh he sighs I’m thirsty I wonder if I could sneak into the kitchen for something without waking her.

Drake tiptoes into the kitchen when he opens the fridge to find a drink she gives him a start with her quiet voice asking “couldn’t sleep huh?” “Jesus Beckett what are you doing sitting in the kitchen in the dark?” I’m sorry she laughs I truly didn’t mean to scare you…Well you did damn it he half laughs still holding his hand over his chest. Well since neither of us are going to get any sleep how bout’ some breakfast?” Sure Drake says let me just go get changed and then…she interrupts him curiously wondering why would you need to go get changed?” Well if we’re going to go out for breakfast then I need to put my clothes back on don’t ya think?” Cindy Jo laugh egregiously saying I’m not going out to eat somewhere at four in the morning…gazing into his confused stare she says I meant I will make us some breakfast. Drake smiles and dryly says “are you a good cook Beckett?” I grew up in Texas raised by two Uncles what do you think Drake?” How about she asks while opening the fridge bacon, fired eggs oooh and some pancakes? Sounds great want some help?” No I got it she says graciously some OJ?” Sure he says so why don’t you tell me about Texas Beckett what was it like growing up on a farm?” A Ranch she corrects him…it was great after I adjusted to the loss of my parents. I got into horses a lot, I barrel raced some. I played every sport in high school except football. Drake snickers a little and exclaims well I should hope so.” What you don’t think girls can play football? “I actually wanted to play  she states with a toothy grin but between all the sports I did play, FFA and the rodeos my Uncle Mitch felt it would be too much so I didn’t play he got me to do cheer instead she grumbled.” Drake laughs and said is there anything you didn’t do?”  Not much Cindy Jo smiled…I don’t know I guess after my parents I just wanted to stay busy you know kind of out of sight out of mind sort of thing.”

She clears her throat and passes Drake a plate… “You got any syrup Beckett?” he politely asked Oh yeah here ya go its homemade from one of my neighbors back home. He slowly pours the syrup over his pancakes and she watches as he takes a bite. MMMM oh my god Beckett this is…..he says with a mouth full GR-E-A-T!” I’m glad you like it dig in she laughs….you know she grins my Momma used to always say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” I didn’t understand that until I learned to cook well I always kept my Uncles stomachs full after that and they seemed happy. “Uncle Mitch said if I could teach some of the women that used to chase him to cook like that that he would have married one of them.” Drake laughed and said I bet…but I agree with your mom I could definitely fall in love with a woman who can cook as well as you.” She blushes as she starts to clear away the mess and the dishes. Drake comes around the kitchen Island and says “no no, no you cooked the least I can do is the dishes.” Don’t be silly she says you’re my guest…go sit.” He said how about I wash and you dry then deal?” Deal she concedes, so what about you Drake what were you like growing up did you go to college or anything?” Not much to tell really my childhood was kind of boring I lost my dad when I was about 15 so then it was just me, my sister and my mom. “She still alive…your mom?” Yeah she’s back home, and I went to college here in New York for a while actually but then something’s went bad for my best friend so I went home to be there for him and I’ve been there ever since.” “This friend is he the one that’s getting married she asked through a loud yawn...Man I’m sorry I guess filling up on breakfast the night is catching up to me.” Drake saying “Yeah and the dishes are done and thanks for that great spread by the way I haven’t had a home cooked meal in a long time;  why don’t you go catch a nap and I’ll see you before I head out in the morning.”

She agrees and encourages him to do the same, they separate going into their prospective rooms. Cindy Jo’s alarm goes off loudly at 7am. She gets up and changes into her spandex tight fitting running pants, and spandex halter-top. She enters the living room to see Drake already dressed and waiting for her. She asked did he get any sleep and he states a little, and I can’t thank you enough for everything I had a great time with you last night.” Me too she genuinely says. Well he says getting up from the couch I guess I’m going to head on out to the airport and you look like you’re getting ready to go for a run so I’ll get out of your hair.” You’re not in my hair and I had a lovely time as well I really enjoyed your company Drake.” Drake snorted you’d be in the minority these days; hey Beckett I’m going to be back in New York with my friends in about a month….he drags on looking down to the floor do you think it would be ok if we saw each other again when I do?” (Drake holds his breath as he waits for her to answer). I’d love that she said with a smile on her face meeting her eyes showing her dimples. He stands up straight smiling saying great it’s a date then. She walks him out her apartment and then out the building feeling nervous not knowing how to say goodbye even though they had kissed last night. She thought it was just because of the moment and they were drinking. Well she says I guess this is good bye and decides to open her arms to hug him he leans down and hugs her resting his chin on the top of her head kisses her hair, and when they break the hug he leans in and kisses her lips gently and waits to see if she will reciprocate the kiss. She does by parting her lips and allowing him to fully kiss her entangling their tongues as she wrapped her arms around his neck playing with the hair on the nap of his neck pulling him in closer and kissing him deeper after a minute they break for a breath and he leans in giving her a few quick pecks on the lips saying I have to go in between kisses. “He waves as he gets in the cab calling out I’ll see you in a month Beckett.” She waves goodbye and starts her morning run. While on the plane waiting to take off Drake gets a call from his friend Liam…

Liam-Did you make it to the airport and board the plane in time?

Drake- Yeah I did I’m waiting to take off now I’ll be back by dinner tonight.

Liam-That’s great can’t wait to see you and hear all about where you’ll be taking me when we return in a month.

Drake- Liam…Yeah Drake?

Drake=I met an amazing woman I spent all night with her I can’t wait to tell you all about her.

Unfortunately drivenbyfantasy deleted her tumblr years ago which was sad still miss her writings. But all the writings are in this site you can read it there along with Cherryfield High I loved that one too and I still reread it over and over again 😁

@maxattack-powell, @lizeboredom, and @whenyourheartskipsabeat Thank you for your support!  My reviews, this list, and the fact that I write fics at all would not happen without the three of you!  Thank you! 

Without further preamble, I bring you my masterlist:

[indiacater]

I'm new to the Fandom. Everything I read is so sad. I like the characters but I don't want to read so much broken hearts. Are there any writers who write funny stuff or happy stuff?

Hi Anon. Welcome to the fandom and I'm so happy that you reached out. So let me first say:

Now yeah a lot of stories as of late have been a bit heartbreaking. I should warn you if you see a post called Autumn Blues by @drakewalkerwhipped avoid it like the plague. She does write some lighthearted stories. Her polyamorous stories are the best.

So the following writers do write fluff, but please keep in mind that there is a mix of angst and drama and erotic themes thrown in but normally their stories are wrapped in a nice fluffy bow.

@blackcoffee85 writes fluffy drabbles mostly TRR centered. They're MaxwellxMC and they just warm your heart. Seriously they always put a smile on my face.

@sawyeroakleyscowboyhat has an ongoing story that is TRR centered with Liam and MC. She also has a spin off story the features Drake and OC.

@speedyoperarascalparty Okay now this one you need to watch out for. She and a few others, who will also be mentioned, write a set of stories list under Cordonians gone wild, and it lives up to that. She specifically write Drake specific stories. She does write drama, but she doesn't fully overdo it where it will fully break your heart.

@riseandshinelittleblossom is another of the CGW girls. Her stories mostly involve Maxwell. Those stories are amazing and the way Maxwell is written, if you didn't love him in canon, these will make you fall in love with him.

@syphaxs stories usually involve love triangles. Her story Between a rock and a hard place is beyond amazing. She has another called The price of love and her use of telling a story through different timelines will keep you intrigued. She has another called The flower prince, of love, duty and personal insecurities. Sadly she hasn't yet re posted it yet. When she does I encourage you to read it.

@whenyourheartskipsabeat stories are very wholesome and really tug at the heartstrings. In just a few short months this talented writer a posted a plethora of story to captivate you. Highly recommended.

@a--world--apart--fic If you love period drama, love triangles and forbidden romance then this story will blow your mind. Written by @boneandfur, queen of the crack ships, this story is just so good that I can't fully explain it. I would recommend that you read @boneandfur stories, she has an impressive variety TRR, PM, THM and DD

@hopefulmoonobject Her story Finding the one: A royal mate is fantasy, dramatic and erotic, but wrapped up in fluff. She collaborates with @ownworldresident on a story called Something Unexpected and it's worth reading.

@elles-choices stories mainly involve Liam from TRR, Chris from The Freshman, and Mr. Sinclaire from DD. They're heavily dramatic, but sweet and slightly erotic. She has an annoying habit of teasing you with sneak peeks but the stories are worth reading.

@drivenbyfantasy is no longer active on the platform but you can still find her stories on her blog. Her stories are centered around Chris from the freshman and they are amazing. There a period piece that set in world war ll called Light A Candle For Me. It's a tearjerker. There's a political one involving a huge scandal, her Attention series is her best one.

@cocomaxley Again another of the CGW girls. Her story involves a TRR background character named Rashad. Her stories are sweet, a bit kooky, but they're fun to read.

@ao719 The incarnate of The evil queen Regina. Seriously though she loves angst and drama, but there is a lot of fluff in her stories and its balanced. She is another of the CGW. Her stories heavily center Liam from TRR. She does have some Drake centered stories but its mostly Liam.

@leelee10898 She completes the list of the ladies of CGW. Her stories involve Leo from Rules of Engagement. (Books were terrible) Her stories are amazing and I doubt you will find anyone who loves Leo more than her or writes leo centered erotica more than her.

@blackcatkita Her ongoing series is a real trip, its hardcore dramatic angst. However she has a lot of fluffy short stories and drabbles and some are cute, and other a hilarious. Totally recommend.

@katurrade Queen of the slow burn. (Emphasis on slow, lol 😂😁🤣 couldn't help myself). Her stories are Liam centered. Her Come Back To Me series is on hiatus but its dramatic and fluffy. Her mobster story is very popular that other writers were inspired to write their own. Such as @bobasheebaby hers is called Crimson Rain. Read at you own discretion, I don't call her the Queen of Darkness for nothing.

@barbaravalentino I'm not sure if she's still active. Her stories involve both Liam and Drake. They're mostly erotic. Great stories to read.

@eadanga Stories always involve Chris from TF. They can be overly dramatic but others are mostly fluffy with drama mixed in. They always end on a fluffy note.

@tmarie82 Her stories aren't really fluffy, they mostly erotic, but her stories are captivating. With her last few stories they have an air of mystery that keeps you on your toes.

@umccall71 Her stories are an emotional adventure and the ending always sweet and fluffy. The journey is worth it.

@alicars Has a lot of stories that are fluffy, though some of her series like of lies and love are heavily dramatic. Majority of stories are TRR, she also writes RCD, BB, TC&TF all worth reading.

I totally left out a lot of other amazing writers, but I hope you check them out.

[tomhardyrules]

Ayeee, we did it! We're a safe number over 7000 now, so I think it's safe to announce it.

I've been on Tumblr for about six years now and never in the world would I have expected to stay for so long and meet so many of you awesome people! It's a pleasure to be able to create a blog that so many people can enjoy and I'm happy to say that I will continue to try my best to keep working on here.

I want to thank everyone who's been here with me since the start and also everyone who's new to the blog - welcome! I'd like to take a second to thank a few special people who've helped me since the beginning and have been here always for me...

@nctcricus @thaac-on @tommyconlonfanfic @drivenbyfantasy @hardygal69 @kinghardy @leagueofbane @my-pikkel

I hope we hit yet another thousand soon and I can't wait to see what time brings! Love you all ♡♡♡

Sappy, sap sap.

I haven’t been a member of the Tumblrverse long, but it has so refreshingly reminded me of the kindness of a stranger. Whether it be listening to my nagging, shameless fanfic requests, wallowing in the Tom Hardy fandom with me, or simple a word of advice or sweet encouragement. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms, lovelies ❤️ I hope this brightens your day as your posts do mine.

Sneak Peak

Sneak peak for one of my submissions to the @chrispowellappreciation week. The full one shot will release tomorrow. I tagged some people I thought might be interested. Let me know if you want to be tagged or removed from the tag list. 

@maxattack-powell @lostinthe-pines @christopher-powell @flowerpowell @choicesfan44 @drivenbyfantasy @cocomaxley @blackcatkita @boneandfur @regrettingnathan @katurrade @leelee10898 @jellybean-marshmellow @syltti78 @kennaxval @jared2612 @choiceslife @eadanga @kinkykingliam @emerald-bijou @littlegreenmoo @sunflowergirl-25

The scent of vanilla mingling with freshly baked cheese pizza and popcorn greeted Chris Powell as he unlocked the door to the apartment he shared with his girlfriend Aria. “Ari,” he called, his bright blue eyes widening in surprise as he took in the romantic scene in the living room. Candles dotted various surfaces, their flames flickering softly in the dim light, and a white cloth covered the coffee table, where the pizza and a bowl of popcorn teased his rumbling stomach. Shrugging out of his jacket and draping it over the arm of the sofa, he called out again, “Ari, I'm home.”

“I'll be right out,” Ari called from their bedroom, her voice muffled by the thin wooden door that was shut. “Why don't you pick out a movie and get comfortable.” There was a pause before she added “No sports films! I'm serious, Chris, that last one was depressing.”

Quirking up the corner of his mouth in a half smirk, half grin Chris walked over to the small cabinet next to the television stand where they kept their limited collection of DVDs. Most were the sports films Aria hated so much, but there were a few of her favorite rom-coms mixed in. He crouched down, perusing the titles. His fingers hovered over the new inspirational football film his mom had sent him in a care package before moving on to a cheesy film about a married couple making a sex tape that some how ended up shared with their family and friends. Don't do it Chris, he told himself when his gaze swung back to the football film. Aria had obviously gone to a lot of trouble to make their weekly movie night special; the least he could do was pick out a film she would like. Chris let out a sigh and pulled out the rom-com, only to shove it back in when he spotted a horror film Kaitlyn had brought over but Aria had refused to watch. A slow grin spread across his mouth. There were two things he could count on with Aria when it came to scary movies. One, she crawled all over him, letting out little breathy shrieks, and two, she liked to use sex as a distraction from the paranormal activity or grisly scenes going down on the television screen.

New beginnings.

Welcome back to my shit show folks. Catch up HERE.

So i took a long ass break. A quick recap: Kendra has a baby with Liam in an AU where Liam is only in New York for a week and then leaves and Kendra doesn’t go to Cordonia. He goes back to Cordonia unaware of his baby until he comes back to New York for the U.N. party and finds a photo of our dear cadence. Now Kendra is dealing with the consequences of her actions. I wanted to wait to post until I had most of this story written, which is why its taken me so long to come back.

@marcela13mars @jayjay897 @drivenbyfantasy @umccall71 @mfackenthal @topsyturvy-dream @drakelover78 @boneandfur @drakewalkerwhipped @zilch3 @indiacater @marywrites-things @cordonianredruby @lodberg @nekkidmolerat @mrsdrakewalkerblog @museofbooks @zeniamiii @queencatherynerhys @bobasheebaby @liam-rhys-x-mc-x-constantine @darley1101 @hopefulmoonobject @annekebbphotography @cora-nova @hhiggs @ownworldresident @ladyangel70

Liam and the people of his court left the same afternoon that he had learned about Cadence. 

“Do you want to meet him? I asked, albeit hesitantly. Liam continued staring at the photo in his hands. “Not yet. I have somethings back home I need to take care of first. How about next week?”

I had agreed. However, the week dragged on as I anxiously tried to understand my new world would be like, sharing Cadence. Liam had insisted on paying all of the bills for the current month. I had spent the week working and trying to ignore what felt like an actual snake den in my stomach. 

“So, What happened when you ran out last week? I never got the chance to ask you. Is King Rys Cadences dad? That’s kinda what it looked like when you took off like that.” Shelby said, leaning up against the entrance to my cubicle. I had been avoiding her, knowing she was eventually going to ask. The NDA popped into my head, “No, he isn’t. I was hoping I could get some more information so I could track down Cadences Dad, but I couldn’t get anyone to talk to me.” I said in an exasperated tone. Shelby chuckled, “what, did you think you would just get a personal invitation to hang out with the King and ask him some questions?” I shrugged my shoulders, internally laughing at her describing almost exactly what happened. 

“I heard your going on some fancy trip.” She said casually, fishing for more information. I rolled my eyes, “yeah I decided to buy a plane ticket to Cordonia to see if I could find... Alex” I said, deciding on an Alias for Liam since I knew Shelby would eventually ask me for cadences dads name to do her own ‘recon’. “Oooooh” she replied, her eyes lighting up at the tidbit of information. I shook my head, “Hey did you get that document written up for the Allens?” I asked her trying to get her out of my personal space.

“Oh shoot, that’s right! Ill talk to you later Kendra!” She said hurriedly as she rushed back to her own cubicle. “Thank god,” I muttered under my breath. Sanders popped his head over the wall that separated our cubicle as I continued to type away, “I was just about to save you, too.” He said. I looked over at him and sighed, “Does no one do their own work in this office?” I said playfully. Sanders gave me a bright smile, “Just you. Do you wanna go grab lunch?” He said standing fully, and pulling his jacket over his shoulders. I looked at the legal document I was crafting, I had reached a break point. “Sure, lets go get Mexican.” I said returning his smile. 

I rode with Sanders to our favorite Mexican place near by, and we sat down to order. “Let me guess, Enchiladas.” Sanders said. I rolled my eyes, “what can I say, I’m a creature of habit.” I stated. Sanders ordered for both of us. “So, what’s the real scoop on this Cordonia thing.” He said staring at me expectantly. I laughed nervously, “what are you talking about?” 

“I remember you talking about how awful you felt that you couldn’t find Cadences dad, and his name was Liam, not Alex.” The waitress returned with our food and left. “Kind of like the King of Cordonia who is also named Liam and looks suspiciously like Cadence?” My heart pounded, Liam and I were in a weird place and I’m sure news of Cadence hitting the press would make things ten times harder to repair. “W-what?” I said nervously. “Yeah sure, Cadence’s dad is a king.” I said mockingly, and picked at my food with a fork. “I knew it.” Sanders said, breaking out into a huge grin. “How the hell did you manage that!” He laughed. I peeked around nervously to see if anyone was listening. “Don’t you recognize sarcasm Sanders, of course Cadence’s dad isn’t King Liam. It’s coincidence.” I said, shooting him a look of agitation. 

“I recognize sarcasm, but I also know when you’re lying. Your voice goes high and you wont look me in the eye.” He said confidently. I sighed, he was right of course. I’d always been a horrible liar, my nerves had a tendency to show on my face. “I didn’t bag a King, Sanders.” I stated firmly. He shook his head, knowing i was lying. “So, theoretically of course, if Cadence was a prince, what would happen next.” I shot him a look, finally conceding. “IF, cadence was, in theory, King Liam’s son, I don’t think that would immediately make him a Prince. Liam would have to publicly and legally claim him. If it works anything like British royalty it would be up to their version of parliament. Which I don’t  know if they have because to be honest I haven’t looked it up since I have no reason to.” I said emphasizing the last sentence.

“Or more likely you’re avoiding dealing with it like you always do.” Sanders mumbled, earning a glare from me. “Just eat your damn quesadillas.” I responded, and Sanders flashed me a grin. He was right though, I was avoiding looking into what would happen with Cadence in the sense of if he was royalty or not. Plus even if he were to inherit a title, he’s an american citizen which is something I didn’t care to budge on. All questions I needed to ask Liam at some point. Things were uncomfortable on the Liam front to say the least. He was still hurt and angry that I was about to sign an NDA with a non contact without telling him about Cadence. All of our interactions up until this point had been cordial yes/no questions and answers, and he refused to text conversationally. 

“When does your plane leave for Cordonia?” Sanders asked. I gave him a questioning look, “thin cubicle walls.” 

“Next week. But today is my last working day, I have some things in town I need to take care of before I go.” Liam and I had decided to introduce him to Cadence in a familiar environment before going back to Cordonia for a little bit so the boys could bond and Liam could figure out what his next step was. “How long will you be in Cordonia?” He said nonchalantly avoiding eye contact. I frowned, “I’m not sure, why? What’s wrong?” 

“I just, worry for what’ll happen when you do go there and ‘find’ cadences dad. I want to make sure you’ll come back.” He said with a touch of melancholy. “What? Of course Ill come back. What do you think that Ill just move to a different country all of a sudden.” Sanders shrugged. “It’s not out of character for you to do something completely rash and half thought out, Kendra.” I scoffed, “Rude.”

Once the waitress brought our check, Sanders insisted on paying and we made our way back to work to finish out our day. I watched the clock anxiously, knowing that at five I had to go pick up Liam, and then pick up Cadence who had spent the day with my dad. I still wasn’t ready, but time stops for no man as the old saying goes, and sure enough five o’clock rolled around quicker than I was ready for it to. 

I stepped outside my office to find a black rental car waiting for me. I looked around in surprise, the window rolled down and inside was the girl from the U.N. party, Madeline. “Hello, Kendra. Why don’t we go pick up my darling fiancé together.” She said in her polished accent.

An Unexpected Love

Chapter 2:

Based loosely on TRR by Pixelberry publishing. Author’s Notes: Characters owned by Pixelberry studios, I have no claim to the characters in this story other than my MC.

Though this story is loosely based on the same characters and my MC (Cindy Jo Beckett) also called (Jo or affectionately Jo Jo) the story comes through a little differently with my MC having had a dark painfully hard upbringing. Her past will unfold as the story is told. Main characters remain in this story and maybe later some new ones. Timeline of Choices: Pixleberry story will vary.

Summary: This Drake -x -MC AU will be focused on a chance meeting where Liam didn’t meet her in New York only Drake by chance…..later after this series is complete , I will rewrite the series where Liam becomes a LI as well. So prepare for a slow burn and some angst: I hope you like it. Face claims Cote De Pablo (Cindy Jo) and Matt Bommer (Drake) Catch Previous Chapter Here: message me and I send it to you can’t figure out how to include previous posts.

Chapter Two:

         Cindy Jo’s right hand is gripping Drake’s arm at his left elbow as they continue strolling down the streets of New York; now a few blocks away from the Blues Club. So “what do your friends like to do?” she asks with a mega-watt smile across her lips. Drake says I don’t know…dryly. Cindy Jo nudging his shoulder playfully says “well you don’t seem very excited for a friend chosen to plan a bachelor party.” Drake states “I’m not really planning it I was just here looking for someone and was asked to look at possible places to party since I was already here.” Oh she half gasped with a surprised look on her face…. she blushed and asked who were you looking for? She paused and asked if he’d mind sitting on the nearby bench for just a moment to rest her feet.  

Cindy Jo’s ~POV~

Who was he here looking for? Wait why am so worried about who he was looking for God look at those eyes…..he’s so gorgeous it’s as if he’s staring into my very soul . Was he looking for a girl? Damn it Cindy Jo get a hold of yourself you just met the man literally like an hour ago why are you so worried whether it’s is a girl or not?......looking back into his bright cobalt blue eyes she can see he’s hesitating to answer her, she pauses and says “never mind I don’t know what’s wrong with me or why I’m being so nosey it’s none of my business.” I don’t know what’s wrong with me tonight and I never walk the streets of New York with a perfect stranger a perfect male stranger at that……but for some reason I feel I don’t’ know comfortable with you…..it’s almost as if I’ve known you forever.” “That’s stupid she half laughs and I’m rambling I’m going to stop talking now she nervously exclaims.” (Why do I feel so nervous like a damn teenager on a first date?)

Drake’s frown slowly creeps into a knowing smirk and laughs a little stating it’s not stupid and you’re cute when you’re nervous …that comment earns him a smiling sweet blush across her beautiful face. Drake thinks to himself (How the hell did I did I get so lucky as to get this gorgeous woman to agree to take me out on the town?) “You know what Beckett I feel really comfortable with you too; and to answer your question I was looking for my sister Savannah; she left home without a word almost a year ago and I thought I had a good lead on her but it didn’t pan out.” I’m sorry she said as she reached for his hand. Both felt the immediate sparks and heat flush both their bodies all the way from their toes to their cheeks. Drake with a small smirk crossing his features clears his throat and says “anyways enough about that tell me Beckett where shall we go, where’s our first stop on the tour. She stands and points across the street to a club called ‘Cielo’ Drake lets out an audible grown as they reach the entrance and he sees a line around the block… “Come on Drake don’t be such a party pooper she says smiling and nudging his shoulder.” As they are passing the entrance about to search for the end of the  line a familiar voice screams “JoJo” she turns back to see James Ray; holding Drakes hand she walks up to the handsome man whose arms are stretched open to embrace her as she gets closer.

~Drake’s POV~

Who the hell is this guy…wait what the hell am I saying I don’t have any claim on this woman…..this gorgeous woman. Whoa buddy watch the hands as he sees this large man closing her in a tight embrace as his hands rest low on the small of her back just above her ass. Is he a boyfriend? An ex maybe? He’s shaken from his thoughts as Cindy Jo grabs his hand and the tall broad shouldered stranger ushers them into the club. Damn Beckett that some kind of pull you’ve got there to get us in here in front of that line of people with his left brow raised! Do I see a hint of jealousy creeping on your face there Walker? she asks. Walker? Drake smirked Ya she said “you call me Beckett so I figured maybe it must be a thang with where you’re from…she said with a deep southern drawl. This earns a laugh from Drake and with a smile he plainly states “No it’s a me thang imitating her teasingly earning him a swat on the shoulder, let’s get a drink he says over the loud music.

After ordering a whiskey for himself he leans in to ask her what she’ll have she smiles and says same as you but I’ll have 3 fingers instead of  2. He leans back and smiles curiously at her…really? “What? She nervously laughs you’ve never seen a woman order whiskey from a bar?” “He devilishly smirks and says never… not any of the women I’ve ever been around have anyway!” Well maybe you just haven’t been hanging around the right women then she chides with a mega-watt smile showing off her bright beautiful toothy smile with just a hint of her dimples showing. (Damn look at that beautiful smile Drake thinks…I could get used to seeing that). So he says in a deep husky voice trying to keep his jealousies at bay “are you going to tell me who the man was that let us in here like you were a superstar?”  She debates whether or not to tease him and says “he’s an old friend and co-worker he stiffens a little before she continues and laughing she leans in close to his ear (he shivers a little as her warm breath brushes his ears and neck.) and he’s also gay she smiles pulling herself back from him. He immediately relaxes and laughs really? Ya she says “so what’cha think about Club ‘Cielo’?” It’s a bit loud he yells over the music but I know at least one guy in the group that’s going to love it! “That’s good she smiles grabbing his hand she says now let’s dance.” he stops her short of the dance floor and says I don’t dance…just then ‘Must be Love on the Brain’ by Rihanna (https://youtu.be/xG6BjRMjskA) comes over the sound system and she looks at him and says “please if you don’t dance with me I’m going to have to find some stranger to because this is a great song!”

Grrrrr he sighs aloud and lets her lead him onto the dance floor, she wraps her arms around his waists and pulls her arms up and across his back resting her hands behind his shoulders and starts swaying her hips left and right in time with the beat of the music. He follows her movements resting his hands on her waistline and crossing the small of her back. He leans down touching his forehead to hers matching her gaze and not looking away she says see you can dance….and rather than correcting her and saying never said I couldn’t just said I didn’t, he holds her gaze and says you have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen…they’re the darkest shade of golden brown I’ve ever seen but it’s like there are flecks of emeralds in them.” She blushes under his gaze and at the sexy compliment, she nervously spun around her back facing his chest now he places his hands on her hips as she backs her ass into his hips and grinds against him sweeping left and right lowering herself down towards the floor and back up his body a couple of times. He takes a sharp breath (my god what is she doing to me?) as his jeans suddenly feel a much tighter now. She faces him again meeting his gaze once more she can see desire rush across the features of his face just as she thinks of moving in for a kiss the music suddenly stops the song had ended….a fast paced upbeat song comes on and she says I need air. Drake takes her much smaller hand in his larger one and leads her out of the packed club back into the crisp night air. Lead the Beckett he gestures by swinging his arms in front of him in a sweeping motion. Well I guess there’s only one other place to show you though I’m not sure your friends will feel it’s stag party material…but I get the feeling you will appreciate it though. “Oh Yeah Drakes says arching his left brow and where’s that?” she smiles and says you’ll see! They walk in a comfortable silence for about five minutes and she stops in front of a set of mahogany wooden doors; Drake peaks in the windows and says “looks like we are too late Beckett they seem to be closing as he sees the waitresses and bar staff cleaning up.” Well it’s a good thing you’re with me then Drake she beams as she sticks keys into the locked doors. She ends the confused look on his face by laughing and telling him this is the bar where her and Daniel work. She greets he co-workers inside and informs them they are just gonna have a quick drink and maybe a game of pool before calling it a night. Everyone goes about their business and she winks at Drake and says “can I buy ya a whiskey?” He half ass grins and says now you’re speaking my language Beckett!”

She grabs a bottle of whiskey and two tumblers and walks him to the back of the bar where the pool tables are and says can you play pool?” He looks at her drawing his left brow up in a smirk and repeats her question pointing at himself in a mock expression “Can I play pool?” Well rack-em then! She says big smile on her face. Oh you’re going to break then?” he says. Is there a problem with that she chides him? Not at all Beckett but I’m gonna warn you I’m a pretty good pool player….she grins and says “good then I won’t have to feel bad when I beat you!” She breaks the balls on the table knocking 3 balls into the pockets. He looks at her his mouth slightly agape…she sees that 2 her of the 3 balls she sank where stripes, so she lines up her next shot looks up at him and says care to make it interesting Drake? He says “What’d you have in mind Beckett?” She said how about every shot I sink you have to drink and vice versa?” Ok and what does the winner get Drake ask?” Cindy Jo said since you’re a visitor in my town I’ll let you choose, sound good?” Sure why not without taking her eyes off of him she shoots and sinks the nine ball in the corner pocket. He smirks raises his glass to her and drinks. She sinks two more in before missing the next shot. She smiles and Drake takes the cue stick and lines up his first shot following her he shoots and sinks the ball while still looking at her…smiles and says drink up Beckett!” She does and he sinks 3 more before she says “are you trying to hustle me Drake Walker?” He lines up the next shot to the corner pocket she’s currently standing in front of if he makes it he wins, she leans over the pocket ever so slightly showing a little bit of cleavage as she does and he misses. She laughs and says “damn the luck there Sparky” he scoffs and says that’s not fair I was distracted.” She shoots and sinks her next 2 shots bringing them neck and neck with only the 8 ball left. She lines up the shot as he stands behind her pouring each another glass of whiskey teasing her not to miss; just as she goes to take the shot he walks past her slightly brushing her ass and the 8 ball stops a hair from sinking into the pocket. She stands up straight smiling “you did that on purpose.” He laughs saying don’t be a sore loser Beckett.” He lines up the shot and sinks it in the pocket saying I guess that means I won with a shit eating grin on his face.” I guess so, so what’s the winner going to choose as his prize? “she asked. MMMm he growls while stroking the light stubble on his chin….he walks over to her and closes the gap between them and asks “So can I have whatever I want? In a husky deep throaty voice” She swallows hard looking him in the eyes his face mere centimeters from hers and says timidly I guess so. He leans in saddles his arms around her waists and draws her closer into a kiss that started tenderly and slowly turned more fever ant causing her to wrap her arms around his neck and earning him a slight moan from her throat. Just as the two were about to break for a breath they hear someone close clear their throat; she pulls away slightly to look up at Joe who informs her that they are done and are on their way out. Cindy Jo smiles wiping her lower lips and says go ahead Joe we’re on our way out too I’ll lock up okay? He agrees and leaves…a comfortable silence falls before she breaks it with the question of “where he’s going to stay for the night?” He clears is throat and says I don’t know I guess I need to find a hotel. I hadn’t planned on spending the night but following that lead on my sister caused me to miss my flight, so when I called my friend to make travel arrangements is when he asked me to scout Manhattan for a good time and I’m glad because it lead me to you. She smiles and says well this late at night you won’t find any hotels that aren’t flea bags or take payment by the hour…so why don’t you just spend the night with me….I mean at my apartment…damn it (she blushes)… I mean you can sleep in my spare room I have a two bedroom apartment she clarifies. He laughs and asks are you sure it’s ok Beckett I mean I don’t want to put you out or anything. Nonsense she says I can’t have you stay in some crummy motel and sour your opinion on New York.

A: Anniversary: Congratulations! You and Micheal have been dating for a whole year. In honor of this, Micheal decided to take you out on the town. You got all dressed up, but he took you to the park, making you confused. He made your favorite foods, played your favorite music, and printed your favorite pictures together as polaroids.

B: Birthday Breakfast: Sick day! Micheal knew you had been sick for about a week, and you had also been quarantine with no visitors allowed. On your birthday, your dad lets Micheal bring you some pancakes and hash browns. A few weeks later, Micheal got sick, but he said it was worth it.

C: Cat: Micheal hates cats, but he knew that you loved them. You couldn’t have one at your old house, but now, you were allowed to. Micheal went everywhere looking for what he thought was the perfect cat. On Christmas, he came over and supposed you with one. It has a little pink collar, and there were toys in the box. He said he found the cat when riding his bike one day. He didn’t want to leave it there, so he took care of it for a while before giving it to you. You named it Snow.

D: Dance Class: Your aunt is getting married this weekend! You even get to take Micheal as a date. Your whole family was going to be there, and he was super nervous about it. You asked if he wanted to take a dance class before, and Micheal said yes. The two of you learned some basic steps, but only after Micheal stepped on your feet a few times. At the wedding, Micheal got it off with your family. Micheal kept complimenting you on your bridesmaid dress. But, it wouldn’t be a party without a prank, so Michael and you hacked in the stereo system and played some more modern music.

E: Escape Room: You And Micheal decided to try out the new escape room in town. The room was Romeo and Juliet themed, and in order to escape, you had to reunite the families and save the duo. You and Micheal didn’t finish, but you both decided to get ice cream afterward.

F: Flying: Beating Micheal for flying lessons seemed like fun when you started, but it quickly turned south when both of you realized you had fears of heights right before you were supposed to jump out of a plane and go sky diving. Was it scary? Hell yes. But did you get a goo Go Pro video of Micheal screaming to make it worth it? Also, hell yes. 

G: Girl’s Night / Guy’s Night: Okay, let’s be honest, even though Micheal is your boyfriend and you love him, sometimes the two of you just need some time with your friends. That’s when the groups schedule a girl’s night out with the guys going out on the same night. You started out at the mall, but you all because hungry after the first few stores. The girls decided to head to the 

H: Hacking: Max and others from that group kept messing with you and Micheal while at the diner. They took your food and dumped a milkshake onto Micheal’s head. You decided to get them back at their graduation. Micheal taught you a few basic tricks. In the PowerPoint they played at the end, you added a few bad pictures of Max that Micheal provided you. Zoe caught you, so you ran out of the school and hopped onto Micheal’s bike and drove away.

I: Indoor Camping: You had always lived in a city and never got to go camping, so Micheal was going to take you one weekend. It ended up getting canceled due to rain. You both already had your bags packed. Your dad said you could go camping inside your living room. The two of you started a fire in the fireplace, and you made s’mores.

J: July Forth: On July 4th, you and Micheal went to the park to watch the fireworks. You took your car this Micheal, and you had a picnic before the show. He later out a blanket, and about halfway through the show, you got cold. Micheal gave you his jacket, causing you to fall asleep on his shoulder. Later, you woke up on your couch with Micheal on an air mattress on the floor. You slid down and cuddled up to him the rest of the night.

K: Karaoke: After a long basketball game, Micheal took you to your favorite karaoke spot. The two of you got a corner booth and ordered a lot of food. After you got your food, other people in your group also came to get food. Micheal said he’d only sing if you went, so you did. You got up there and sang a song to Micheal, and he sang a song to you as well.

L: Late Night: It’s the night after getting home from the road trip, and Micheal and you are playing board games, video games, and ate three pizzas all on your own. You watched a few movies and played some poker with each other. Though neither of you really knew how to play, at least Micheal said he didn’t know how to play. The two of you ended up falling asleep in the middle of Endgame with donuts and other various foods all over both of you.

M: Midnight Memories: It’s the afterparty prom night, and that means partying until the sun come up with all of your friends. That means hitting up the casino because you all finally turned 18! After the late night with Micheal, you learned the right way to play poker. You didn’t win much, but hey! $20 is better than nothing.

N: Netflix: Stranger Things is back and better than ever! However, you and Micheal agreed not to watch the new episodes until the weekend when you could hang out with each other. However, you both keep finding each other loading each other’s Netflix accounts at school. And at lunch. Every single day of the week for five days. But when the weekend finally comes, you both put on your 80′s attire and get some New Coke, which you quickly threw away.

O: Open When Letters: Micheal was going to visit family for the whole summer in Montana. There wouldn’t be any internet so the two of you wouldn’t be able to talk. On the day he was leaving, he gave you a box full of open when letters and one of his hoodies. The two of you had to go old school and wrote to each other during the summer. Your favorite open when letter was “Open When You Forget I Love You.” It was addressed to be open on the next to last week of summer, so you saved it. In the letter, he talked about when he fell in love with you. He also filled the envelope with pictures he took of you when you weren’t paying attention. Right after you got done reading it, the doorbell rang, and it was Micheal outside.

P: Prom: Prom is finally here! you both get dressed up and arive in style on Micheal’s motorcycle. Sure, holding your dress up on that thing was hard to do on a motorcycle, but Micheal only drove it about four blocks from your house. The night was amazing with memories to go around, incluing the Midnight Memories made at the after party. 

Q: Quixotic Adventure: After graduation, and within 24 hours, you, Micheal, and the rest of the group are heading on a weeks long vacation to Texas! Who knows what kind of trouble you’re going to get into there? For one, loosing Maria’s binder in the airport, which resulted in a melt down, the rest of the trip went well. Micheal and Caleb even rode a mechanical bull. 

R: Road trip: You woken up with a shake at 4 am. You scream as you find Micheal standing above you, and out of impulse, you slap him. Lucky for you, your dad got it on video. Micheal reveals that he came home early from camp, and he’s taking you to the city about 2 hours away. On the way, you stop and eat greasy diner food while watching a sunrise. You stay in the city for the whole day with Micheal, and you get home around midnight.

S: Ski Trip: Senior year has come, and you finally get to take the school skiing trip that you’ve been waiting for! But on the way there, the group stops, and you get food poising, meaning that when you get to the lodge that you stay in your room for most of the first day. That night, Emma and Maria come back with a surprise! They snuck Micheal into your hotel room with chicken noodle soup and crackers to help you feel better!

T: Theme Park: When driving in the middle of no where with Micheal to find a nice place to picnic, you and Micheal stumble upon an abandoned theme park, so the two of you decide to sneak in. You never realized it, but Micheal was secretly a fantastic photographer. The two of you ate and did several shoots before finding some rats and leaving. 

U: Unique: Surpise! Micheal decided to get peices of paper and write an numbers on them. The first role is for outfits, second is for food, and thrird is the activity. However, he didn’t erally think out how you’re suppoed to wear a winter coat and sweater in a Japanse steakhouse while then going swimming. Even though he didn’t think eveything through 

V: Video: Congratulations! It’s been a year of you and Micheal dating. For your one year, you gave him a box filled with different things from dates you went on. There was a menu from your first date; a dried up rose from the second; some things from prom; and more. Micheal, however, pulled out a CD and put it into the movie player. Confused, you sat down on the couch as he pressed play. The video started with a few days after you met with you skateboarding in the parking lot. Then, the first football game. Football homecoming. Basketball homecoming. When you took down Isa. Prom. It was clips of your life as a homemade movie. Him saving you from getting hurt. His winning throw to you as football. Everything.

W: Winter Wonderland: Sledding. Ice skating. All your favorite things wrapped all up into one day with your amazing boyfriend. However, things go wrong when you loose your bracelet in the middle of the day. Micheal said he would look for it, but you said it was too cold to try. you even suggested that the two of you wait until the snow melted. The next day, you open your house door to find Micheal, blue and shivering, holding your bracelet. When you bring him inside and cover him with blankets and cuddle to warm him, he tells you that he didn’t want you to loose it, so he searched all night for it.

X: XBox: It’s Black Friday! The sales and people are crazy, as they usually are. You decided to go without Micheal to try to see what you could get him for Christmas, and that’s when you see it: a Xbox. You push and shove people out of the way. This day will go down in history as the day you accidentally knocked over a child (don’t worry, you helped them up). That’s when you reach it. And when you go to grab it, someone else grabs the item too. When you look up, there stands Micheal. Welp... you ended up getting him jacket instead.

Y: Yoga: Let’s be real: Micheal has always hated yoga. However, after a back injury from trying to run from Hearst, Micheal agreed to do it since your doctor recommended it. It was... rough to say the least. But, you were happy that he at least tried to help you the best he could, even if he, himself, ended up in the ER after you.

Z: Zoo: You’ve always wanted to volunteer at a zoo that helps injured animals and then releases them back into the wild, unless their injuries are too extensive. Micheal and your dad worked together to allow the three of you to go to the zoo together and help. You had a lot of fun, even though it was sad, helping some bear cubs that lost their mom to a poacher.

The MFackenthal Show with Special Guest @Eadanga!

banner by @whenyourheartskipsabeat

Megs:  Hello everyone!  And welcome back to the show!  This week, I am honored and blessed to get to introduce the talented and kind @eadanga.  Esang, please come on up and join me on stage!

Esang:  Megs, i am so excited to be here today.  Thank you for inviting me to be on the show!

Megs:  And thanks for being here!  This has been a long time coming, hasn’t it?  I think you joined the fandom maybe a month after I did and you started writing much before I did.  

Esang: Really? 

Megs:  Yeah, I started binging people’s work in February 2018.  I think you joined in ..

Esang: March 2018.  When I first heard about Choices I thought it was a rip off of Episode because I’ve seen lots of rip offs of popular games. My friend was telling me how much she loved it. So one day I just decided to check it and I’ve been addicted to it ever since. 

I saw a post on facebook where they were sharing stories about Chris. At first I didn’t think nothing of it - thought it was an ad or something. But then I read it and I loved it!  It was a story by @mrswalkerwritesagain. That’s when I started checking out more stories like @drivenbyfantasy Cherryfield High and @maxattack-powell Freshman Chronicles.

Megs:  Those are two amazing stories by fantastic authors.  If you haven’t seen The Show guest starring @maxattack-powell - you really should find a rerun. 

Esang:  I loved that episode! 

Megs:  Thanks!  So, you’re essentially a seasoned veteran of the fandom.  Tell us, what do you love about the fandom?  What do you dislike? 

Esang:  I love all the talented writers here and everybody in the fandom is so amazing. Being in the fandom is so much fun I love it. I don’t like all the negative hate mail. I don’t know why people have to cause trouble if you don’t like something then move along no one told you to read it.

Megs:  You tell em, Esang!  Love that!  Megs laughs good-naturedly.  Okay, Esang - tell us all about yourself.  Where are you from, what do you do, etc? 

Esang:  Well, Megs - I’m a New Yorker, but my family is Nigerian.  I’m a sociology student by day and an anime and Chris stan by night. Wink I love to bake while I sing along to The Backstreet Boys.  Oh!  And, of course, I write.  

Currently I’m focusing on my Work, Love, and Desire series. I’m also writing the next part of Love Triangle and Eternal Love.

Megs:  I may be a little biased … but, I cannot WAIT for the next chapter of Love Triangle.  Megs puts a hand up to her mouth and stage whispers to the audience - It’s a series I helped inspire because I won one of the 300 follower giveaways.

Esang:  Oh, Megs.  You’re always so impatient. 

Megs:  Indeed - it’s part of my charm.  Wink  Speaking of your work - we all know that Chris is your favorite.  But what is your favorite work that you’ve ever written? 

Esang: Oh, that’s tough!  ... But, I would have to say My Deepest Desire Series it’s so cool and hot reminds me of Nigerian movies.

Megs: I cannot wait for Becca and Nicole to get what is coming to them in that series!  Do you know what Chris’s plan is???

Esang:  Megs, you know I can’t tell you that. 

Megs:  Pouts!  But you’re on MY show!

Esang:  You’re so cute when you pout. 

Megs: Turning to the audience and raising one hand  Seriously, what is the point of having a show if people won’t tell you the good stuff?  Turning back to Esang Do you have any advice for aspiring writers? 

Esang: My advice is simple: Keep on writing.  Do not give up, and if someone tells you can’t do it - prove them wrong.

Megs:  Oooh, that is strong language from someone who doesn’t like horror and can barely play “It lives in the Woods.”

Esang:  Ha!  I didn’t say I couldn’t play it.  I said it was my least favorite. 

Megs:  Po-tay-toe, pah-tah-toe.

Esang:  shakes head at Megs and gives a little laugh Okay, Megs, while I won’t give you any spoilers, I do have a little something for you.  Walks backstage and then back on stage carrying a tray of baked goods. 

Megs:  Are those??? 

Esang:  Yes - they’re what I’m most known for - Cupcakes!  In fact, if everyone will look under their chairs, everyone is going home with one of my cupcakes. 

The audience all looks under their chairs and squeals as they find individually wrapped cupcakes.  “Oh, these are heavenly!” one audience member says.  “Oh yeah, I would pay a lot for another one of these,” another member exclaims. 

Megs:  Awh, Esang - this is amazing!  Thank you so much!!  Y’know … I have something for you too … Do I hear … yes, I think I do.  I hear the Backstreet Boys!  

The Backstreet Boys come on stage singing “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)��

Everyone in the audience gets to their feet and starts clapping their hands to the beat.  One audience member in the back faints. 

Megs:  Alright, Esang - now it’s our turn to join the boys in singing your baking song!  Megs pulls Esang on stage with the Backstreet Boys and all sing “I Want It That Way!” 

Megs:  Yeah

You are my fire

The one desire

Believe when I say

I want it that way

Esang:  But we are two worlds apart

Can't reach to your heart

When you say

That I want it that way

Megs: Tell me why

All:  Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Megs: Tell me why

All … Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never want to hear you say

I want it that way

Megs:  And that’s the show for today folks!  Thank you for all your love and support!  Be sure to check back next time when my special guest will be @queen-among-writers!  Love to all and Good Night!

It was a dream, wasn't it?

Ever since joining the navy, nothing excited Jake McKenzie than when both he and his bunkmate and best friend, Mike Darwin were selected to the elite Arachnid unit. After a short trial run their C.O., Cmdr Lundgren had then working on top ranking missions, and even earning Jake the codename: Wolf. As far as Jake knew things were looking up for him. He was serving his country, he was with his best friend and part of a team that was making a real difference in the world. He didn’t think anything could change what he thought of it until he began having the weirdest dreams.

After a night of drinking and playing cards with rest of the team Jake decided to turn in early, mainly due to light headaches, and the drinks weren’t helping. Jeanine, who went by Fiddler, offered to help relieve it, but they have been on again and off again so much that he didn't need the drama. Finally making it back to his bunk, he stripped down to his boxers and laid in his bed as he drifted off to sleep, oblivious to the adventures that awaits him.

Jake awoke to the annoyance of light jostling. He would have ignored it if the position he was in didn't feel weird to him. Becoming alert, he opened his eyes and saw that he wasn't laying in his bed, but sitting in a co-pilot chair of a small cockpit. As he panics he looks over to see the pilot. He tried to nudge him, but he attempts were ignored as the pilot as he then kicked his feet up on the control panel. “What the hell?, you jackass!” he muttered. Seconds later he hears a knock, the door open and walked in a very attractive woman wearing fitting shorts and a simple red top. If Jake wasn't freaking out over his current predicament he would definitely be flirting with her. “Hey!” Jake shouted as he tried to get her attention, but she looked like she didn't hear him.

“Excuse me.” She exclaimed. “You're the pilot? Shouldn't we have landed by now?” She takes notice of the pilot. “What the hell?!, are you asleep?!” she exclaimed again. Finally the pilot stirred to address the girl, as he did Jake was finally able to get a look at the ungrateful asshole. Then Jake's world was thrown upside down as he saw himself.

As much as Jake wanted to deny it, there was no mistaken what he was seeing but he was looking at himself. This version of him looked slightly older and his face look like he's been through more than his fair share of hell. He finally turns to face the girl. He seemed slightly taken aback as just like Jake, he seemed also attracted to her as well.

“Listen, Princess, dont'cha know it’s rude to wake someone up from a nap?” he said rather agitated. The girl looked at him with matching agitation.

“Princess?!” she said offended. With a slight smirk he answered “What can I say I give nicknames to people who annoy me.” Feeling like he won, he turn back around to monitor the controls. Jake just sits there watching this unfold in front of him, trying to make sense. “What the hell was with the nicknames? That was always Mike's thing. Why the hell would I be using it?” As he panics he hears the girl speak.

“Well. Then I’ll just call you Top Gun.” She smiles back. Jake saw his older self immediately freeze upon hearing that. Then after composing himself he continues to bust himself with the controls, keeping his back to her as he begins to talk again.

“Nicknames are my thing. You ain’t clever enough to keep ‘em coming. Takes work to be as good as me.” He said, smugly. The girl was about to speak again until the plane was rocked by unexpected turbulence, causing her to fall forward instinctively Jake tried to reach out for her. His older self, however had the same idea and immediately caught her. Jake couldn't explain why he was feeling jealous of this version holding her, he didn't even know who this girl was, but jealous is what he was feeling.

“What the hell was that?!” The girl asked, still in shock. After making sure she was okay he spoke. “Relax Princess. It’s just some turbulence. It’s all normal.” The her eyes grew wide as she pointed out of the cockpit. “And is that also normal?!” She exclaimed. Both Jake and his older counterpart turned to see the sky suddenly turned dark, followed by orbs of lightning that was causing more turbulence. “Better head back to your seat and buckle in. This is going to get tricky.” He said, switching the controls to manual. Without another word the girl bolted out. “I'm definitely not getting paid enough for this” He muttered as he prepared to drop into a nosedive in hopes to avoid the weird orbs of lightning. Try as he might the plane continued to shake as the orbs struck the plane.

As Jake watched everything unfold. He silently prayed to whoever was listening, for them to survive this. “Please don't let me die this way. My spirit will never live it down.” As he continues to pray the plane began to shake more violently until it didn't anymore. As Jake opened his eyes he sees the clear blue waters and clear skies.

He was feeling thankful that he's not dead, but he still couldn't comprehend what the hell is going on. As he looked around he noticed on the upper control panel, the date, June 1st, 2017. As he tried to compose himself he began to mutter to himself. “That date can't be right. That's three years from now.” He knew that it was pointless to try to get his counterparts attention. As he turns his attention back to the view he sees an island on the horizon as the plane begins to descend. As the plane is landing his counterpart activates a comm to signal the tower. Watching him grow frustrated when he gets no response.

Once the plane landed, Jake watched as he watched himself to announce that they had safely landed to a relived group of what looked like an array of college kids. He then spotted the girl, comforting perky redhead, who seemed to have vice like grip on her. Jake watched as she helps her from her seat and leave the plane. As he follows everyone out, he's taken in the island splendor as he hears hisself yell out “Alright folks. Welcome to La Huerta!” Jake tried looking for the girl again, but again he felt himself being shaken and his vision darken. As he began to panic, the shaking became rougher. As he finally opened his eyes he is surprised to see Mike, standing over him.

“Finally!” He said as he threw in the air and walked to the door. “I've been spending the last five minutes trying to wake you. You must have had some dream, or it could have been those drinks you had last night.” Mike looked with concern at his friend. “Anyway, commander wants us to do a sweep of the engines, so hurry up and get to the hangers." He said as he left.

Jake laid back down and stared at the ceiling. “A dream!” he said, out loud. “It was all a dream. No way any of that could've been real.” As he thought about it more the funnier he thought it was. As he got on his clothes, and began to leave, he looked back at his bunk. “It was a dream, wasn't it?” he questioned as he walked out.

It was a dream, for him. One of many he will have.

Chapter 2 coming soon…
