Flames Underneath by Nina G. (books to read in your 20s female TXT) π
Excerpt from the book:
... we were sitting there in silence, pretending as if we were listening to ms. Stanley discussing something about this part of a heart. i managed to pull a quick glimpse on my seatmate. he caught me and playfully smiled at me " Hi I'm Danny" he wasn't so bad after all. " Gail." i reached out my hand to shake his. suddenly his smile faded. " I don't think so" he flexed his wrist and buried it again into his jacket's pockets..

you know... privacy" he said looking away. i probably blushed cause it felt hotter. "that was... quite a show you did back there" i said ending the silence. "oh yeah?. it was for you." he said. "yeah. I've noticed" i said playfully. "so where did you get the rose?" i asked. "oh i planted it myself" he said triumphant. "really? how long did it take you?" i asked. "oh it was easy. i started planting it yesterday" he said. "yesterday?" a rose couldn't have bloomed that quick. "anyway... i guess you already forgave me.." he said changing the subject. "hey, I didn't say anything." i corrected. "oh come on... you know you weren't the only one humiliated" he said "yeah, but that wasn't my fault, you were the one who star-" and he didn't even let me finish. he pulled me in and well... you already know what comes next. "so now do you forgive me?" he asked. with no hesitation i answered "yes" since it was the only way to be able to kiss him again.....
as everything was heating up he suddenly pushed me away. "i have to go" What?! not again, no. "what?. what do you mean?" i asked very much confused. "I gotta go" he obviously answered. he put on the hood of his jacket. "Danny stop." i said. he turned around to look at me. and as usual he was shining like pretty lights. "why?" i asked. "what why?" he asked. "why do you have to go?" i asked. "I have things to handle, Gail" he said. "But why do you have to go every single time i want you near?" there i finally said it. "I'm sorry Gail" he said. "What's wrong Danny?" i asked hoping it wasn't me. he walked towards me and put my chin up. "something is... but i assure you it isn't you." he kissed me on the cheek and went away.
I HATE HIM. and at the same time I LOVE HIM too. Aww.. "I hate this". so, he left me in the middle of the forest. awesome. I grabbed my bag and went off. I feel so stupid. at the same time so... so... happy?! the corners of my lips started to curve. talk about falling in love. but this is so wrong. why would he make such a move and just leave me like that?.
I was dragging my feet and finally got home.
"hey sweetie" mom called approaching me wearing an apron. i smiled "oh. attempting to cook again?." i said pointing. "yeah. another failure." she said laughing. "Aww.. it's alright mom. you'll get better." i said patting her back. "I know. I know. but it looks like were gonna have frozen pizza for dinner." she said. "uhmm... I'm not actually hungry." i said. i yawned "I'll pass" i added and headed for my room. "Oh yeah, by the way sweetie. the truck's going to arrive tom. with all our thing from our old house" Mom said. I buried my face into my pillow and replied "okay." which would have probably sounded like "Mmmm!"

I dream t of the sky... changing colors. from pure white to dark, dark blue. my view was as if I was soaring into the clouds because I could actually see them part in front of me. the next scene was on the front porch and i was still looking up the sky with a certain look on my face... as if i was waiting for something. right then and there a shooting star just came from nowhere. just like the one that I see almost every night. the scene faded and Danny showed up. talking to me. we were somewhere underneath a tree and his head was resting on my lap while i was sitting down against the tree. I was running my fingers through Danny's hair and he was smiling back. out of nowhere i suddenly said "It must be so beautiful being able to see from such a view." he smiled and looked into my eyes. "you know what the best part is?" he asked. "what?" i said. "always keeping an eye over you" he said chuckling. that sure did make me blush. but i still didn't know what we were talking about. I pushed him playfully away. "stalker" i said accusing. he stood up and so did I. he grew nearer and held my waist to pull me in. I tried shoving him away again. but before i could even do anything... he kissed me and of course I kissed him back. my arms were resting on his shoulders now and we were face to face.
he pulled me in much closer and we were already hugging. I rested my head on his chest and told him I loved him. I felt safe, cozy and warm. I belonged with him.

the roaring engine woke me up. My stuff. I ran to the front porch while rubbing my eyes. Mom was standing by the truck talking to the driver. " thanks so much, Bill". she said. "naww, it's nothin'. madame should be thanking the boss." he said winking. they both shared a juicy conversation together but i didn't care. whoever "boss" might be that made my mom giggle. yuck. anyway my stuff are all here. i grabbed the first box i could carry and rushed inside. the box is Heavy. I opened it to see dozens of medals and a trophy. I breathed in and rubbed the trophy's glass to see what was written.

2nd runner up"
oh yeah. I remember. I used to be good in swimming. well I still am but ever since this thing happened to me... i stopped. I was young and i just wanted to try everything. one stormy day i decided to swim from shore to wherever farthest i could get to. it was easy at first but then the waves got tougher. I was approximately about 6 miles away from shore. I didn't stop till all i could see was a faint line of sand that was supposed to be the shore. suddenly my foot got cramped up. it was so painful i couldn't even paddle. I freaked out and fainted. luckily not drowned. the waves came in like great big walls of pain. but sweep ed me to the shore.
I'm not afraid of water or anything. I just didn't want to remember what happened. not how but why. I was so stupid enough to pull up something like that.
suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"really?" i thought to myself. i walked to the living room. we just moved in. who could actually be... ? my heart just made a back flip. first my eyes were as wide as they can then i squinted. sunlight shone through the screen door. for a second there, i was blinded. but as i closed then opened my eyes again... Danny was standing in front of me.
"is it okay if i come in?" he asked. "huh. what?" i managed to say. great. he looked over his shoulder and muttered the word. "oh." i looked down ignoring what he said and felt my cheeks turn red. he stepped towards me, close enough to feel how hotter the room grew. I looked up and got to see his eyes again. "Wow" I said. He smiled at me. *sigh...
"hey, sweetie I..." mom managed to call out. not paying attention, I noticed Danny's smile fade and his eyes shut as if he were dissapointed. Ugh! I turned around faced my mom. "yeah, mom?". "nothing... I uhmm" she said staring at Danny. she walked to him and blinking her eyes oftentimes. Danny wasn't even looking at her. He was staring at his Black chucks. I wondered what it was my mom was thinking because I must admit, this really is getting awkward. Mom's face was curious. thinking of something deep again. I just knew it. she was thinking that Danny would be the perfect book character. she's been thinking of the ideal guy lately. We've actually been growing tired of impressive and supernatural men with dark auras. Danny's the opposite of what we're used to. He's not impressive but his presence is overwhelming. He doesn't have ice cold skin but you get tingly whenever you're with him at the same time you feel warm and safe. He's nowhere near suspicious and dark, he's bright but still a mystery...
Danny just decided to put a smile on his face to hide how shy he was."...I'm impressed, Gail. You've got a new friend." mom said. "Uh, yeah... mom, this is Danny." I said walking towards them. "Danny thi-..." I touched him on the back and it made me forget everything about the world as if it stung. "uhmm, you know who she is..." I managed to say. my mom kept on looking at Danny suspiciously. ugh! why is she making this harder? "anyway... I'll get to my reading" mom said walking away. "Gail, I have to tell you something." Danny said facing me.
"alright?... what is it?" Danny looked at my mom who was reading her book as if he knew she was listening. He had every right to be irritated, I was. "it's really private" he said looking straight into my eyes. The loss of balance shook me. I was about to fall straight towards him. "oh okay. come on I'll show you to my roo-..." was all I got to say because I saw my mom flashing the "nuh-uh" look. oh, man... The room literally got hotter. or was it just my blood rushing from my neck to my cheeks. I couldn't even look at Danny. this is so embarrassing. I mean, it's not like we were going to be doing something in there. hmmm... She's right. maybe we were.
"you know what?... how 'bout you just give me a minute. I'll just change and let's head outside." I said still avoiding eye contact. I walked to my room and locked the door.I jumped into my bed and buried my face into a pillow and tried losing heat from my cheeks.
