Bumblebees and Roses

“A woman has to take care of her family,” Pandora instructed as she gently stirred the pot of grain. The subtle curls in her sunshine-gold hair bounced ever so slightly as the steam from that night’s meal reached with pining fingers for the sky. “She has to clothe them and feed them and make sure they’re happy well before she even thinks about herself. It’s just the nature of things, Pyrrha, and I know you don’t like to think of it that way, but that’s how it simply must be.” The girl pursed

Pandora is, by nature, the most beautiful and perfect woman to ever walk the earth. She is irresistible, a gift from the gods, pure magic...but Pandora's daughter Pyrrha begs to differ. After being suffocated from her dreams for far too long, now is the perfect time for revenge...but will all hope be lost in the crossfire?

Inspired by an idea my girlfriend and I are growing, The Cheerleader and the Art Geek is a short collection of romantic stories based off of different aspects of our relationship. Each is titled with one of the songs we love, and when put all together, map a love story as beautiful as a rainbow on a sunny day. So, take a look and dive into the realm of romance and complete, utterly divine affection!

Marianne stood at the sidelines of the football field, her thick brown hair tied up in a loose bun at the back of her head. Her eyes were narrowed against the breeze and her full lips were pursed, the nip and tug of the wind drying out their usually plush surface faster than any other scenario might have done. But still, though the day was long and the weather was painfully frigid, she did not dare move to take shelter somewhere else. She really didn’t want to move, either. The young girl was pe

Ohh, thanks!! I was a little worried about the story, but now I'll certainly go on!!

Christmas Eve, 2011 Women were strange and foreign creatures, and there was simply no getting around that. No matter how pretty, how alluring, how seemingly sweet and innocent, they were all cunning black spiders deep inside, just waiting for you to slip up and make it all the easier to lure you into their deep, dark web of deception. You were a fly to them, just another slab of meat being laid out on the dinner table. And the worst part? Once you’re in, there’s no getting out. Callie slam

Umm...thank you, I guess...I really appreciate that your review covered a vast majority of the story!! Everything I wrote was intended for the storyline, and will eventually come back into play later on. I'm so, so glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, that's the impression I got too. I wanted his departure to be sudden and painful, completely unexpected for readers and Noel. I'm glad you could pick up on that!! Thank you!!

Thank you!! Confusion and emotion was exactly what I was aiming for, though everything should smooth out as the story progresses. I have a fondness for chaos...

Christmas Eve, 2006 The day it happened, it happened quickly, so quickly it seems like a blur in my memory. The details were lost on me. Almost everything was lost on me. The only thing that I could remember was that it happened all in one day—and in the next, it was over. Everything was different. The pain was unbearable. By the time I got outside, Adrian had already climbed halfway to the top of the maple in our yard. I could just see the tail end of his slim figure slip another branch

That's wonderful! Glad to know I've got some fans on board already. Thanks for the review, it's very much appreciated!

I'll be sure to add that in chapters to come. Thanks so much for reviewing!

I was born on Christmas day, right at noon, smack-dab in the middle of a big pile of Christmas presents sitting on the end of my mother’s bed in the hospital. Everyone said it was a miracle, a blessing from someone watching from above, and at first I thought so too. I liked being able to say Christmas when everyone else asked when’s your birthday? I liked seeing the astonishment in everyone’s faces, liked watching as their eyes lit up with a blend of pleasant surprise and envy at the idea of bei

After having his heart shattered to pieces at the painfully young age of thirteen, Noel is convinced he's over Adrian. But with the arrival of a mysterious package on the anniversary of that agonizing day, but five years later, now he's not so sure...A hopefully warm, heartfelt, reasonably short Christmas story following the romance of two young hearts seeking nothing more than togetherness on Christmas.

Why, thank you. The next story's a little edgier. You should enjoy it is you liked thid one ^^
