ABOUT THIS BOOK
‘’I’m afraid my vagina might turn itself inside out if you try to give it
another orgasm so soon. ‘’ --- Mona Nelson
Raised by her four overbearing brothers, Mona is a hell-raising temper
tantrum who doesn’t find a suitable place to settle. A tornado stirring
up trouble everywhere she goes including her sexy next-door neighbor.
Her favorite pastimes? Drinking any man under the table and twostepping. Mona has zero interest in love because of her daddy’s failure
but her grumpy sex partner proves her wrong. Is Mona ready to revisit
love once more or is she going to sit her and wallow through her past?
Gibson Shane is a man who believes in signs but doesn’t know what to
do with this one.
In a small town of NightLane Bend, where everybody is a lovemaker,
Gibson wants to be left alone in peace. After returning from
Afghanistan, his goal is recovery from his unforgettable past. He
doesn’t need distractions, and definitely not one with silver-blonde hair
and lips that begged to be kissed.

MONA
‘’What the heck!’’ I jumped of my seat at the sound of shattered glass
which happened to be my window
I got out to check who dared throw a stone at my window. I catch a
glimpse of boy staring in shock at what he just caused.
‘’Hey you, over there, come here!’’
‘’Ma’am I’m so sorry, we were throwing stones on the trees and
mistakenly hit your window ma. I’m very sorry ma, please forgive me
ma.’’ Tears start pouring from those pretty blue eyes. The boy pleads
with a terrified and pleading look as he explains. His broad shoulders
with those brown silky hair which smells like vanilla I guess. These good
qualities speak right of a respectful family. Those rounded ears with his
curved pinkish lips and his round small silky………
OH DEAR! I’m supposed to be answering him
‘’Oh well sorry…… I …….. Uh …… well you know you’ve got to pay for the
window right?’’
‘’Yes ma, I know ma. I let my mom get me money. I’m so sorry ma’’
‘’What’s your name?’’
‘’Jim. Jimmy Colton, ma’’
‘’Okay Jim, I forgive you, now go get that money’’
‘’Thank you ma. Thank you so much ma’’
Very sweet boy. But should I really make him pay? He’s just a child and
they always do stupid things without reason.
‘’Hey Jim! Wait up! I change my mind, I’ll pay’’
‘’Really!’’
‘’Yeah its fine, now go home and get some food to eat’’
And just like that I make another person happy. But his features you
cannot resist and any girl would be so lucky to have such a guy. I’m sure
he would be big and. . . .
Damn it! Mona! Try thinking positive girl!
I was just about to lecture myself when I heard a deep rough husky
voice near my broken window. Next, I hear a huge fist banging my door
like a drunk bear.
‘’I’m coming!’’ I said it in a cheerful voice in order to cool the person
breaking my door
‘’I said I’m coming!’’
This time I’m not having it cool with anyone.

DAVID
I just need to keep on banging on her door until she comes. That little
whore made my brother cry and hurt me so badly
‘’David please, you’ve got to calm down. That kind lady didn’t make me
cry . . . . . ‘’
‘’Oh shut up Jim, you don’t know how to stand up to people who hurt
you. Look here Jim, I can’t always be doing this for you, you’ve got to
really learn how to stand up for you. You’re a boy and will become a
man one day. How are you gonna kick those bullies when they bully
your girls. How will you feel huh?
‘’What the hell is wrong with you, are you drunk?’’
A high-pitched voice interrupts our conversation. She looks young and
smart, you could see.
‘’I’m the one supposed to be calling you drunk. My brother here
mistakenly smashes your window and you take it out on him so badly
that he starts to tear up. What kind of woman does that?’’
‘’Me? I didn’t make him cry, when I checked . . . . . . ‘’
‘’Oh lady, stop spewing all these lies. I’m sure you just needed someone
to feel bad aint’ it? Don’t worry, that’s how women are, that badmouthed needy pain in the ass.’’
‘’Are you in your right senses or do I have to let someone clean up your
mess? What the hell are you talking about? I don’t even know who you
are and instead of you to introduce yourself, you bang on my door and
throw all sorts of strong accusations!! Have some self-respect! What
kind of a man are you? Back at you, human being. I’m sure you just felt
like accusing someone aint’ it? Don’t worry, that’s how men are, that
beastly accuser who’s never grateful’’
And just like that she flips her hair and bangs the door at my face while
I stare in wonder.
She really does have the nerve to pretend like this while she knows
what she’s done. She’s not gonna have it like this.
I’m just about to bang on her door again when Jimmy starts talking.
‘’David, you’re an asshole. That lady didn’t do me anything. When I
broke her window, I tried to run away but she caught me. I cried to her
to forgive. She looked at me closely and forgave me with that warm
smile of hers. She even insisted on paying for the broken window
herself. Any other selfish woman would’ve just yelled at me and sacked
out of her presence but then, this lady didn’t even yell. My cheeks were
stained with tears before and when you just saw me, you just grabbed
me and said ‘I’m going to that motherfucker who made you cry’’
A part of me wanted to laugh because of how he mimicked my deep
voice but the other half of me wants to just sit down and think of how I
destroyed someone
I was stunned. That pretty lady I insulted wasn’t like those ladies after
all.
‘’Look, Jim I’m so sorry . . . I . . . . ‘’
‘’Listen here Dave, I don’t want you standing up for me again. I’m 14
years Dave and I can handle myself. I’m not like those irresponsible
boys who can’t even get a B. Dave, I’m warning you, I’m 14, do not try
to stand up for me ever again cause anytime you do you just bring
different kinds of problems which cannot be solved. Maybe you should
stop being that over-protective brother you are and walk your ass down
her doorstep to apologize.’’

MONA
I propped my back to my sofa as I think about what just happened
some few seconds ago. I feel tears run down my cheeks.
No
You don’t have to let this get into you. He accused you and that’s
wrong. You don’t need to cry over this.
After lecturing myself, I let a few tars slip down before I gather myself
up.
I sense someone outside my apartment. It’s sometimes just my
hormones or whatever they are called, but then it wasn’t just my
hormones who were speaking to me, it was someone who about some
few seconds ago disposed me out like trash.
I expected a loud banging noise but instead I hear a soft knock on my
door
‘’Mona? Are you in there? I need to talk to you’’
How the hell does he know my name? I walk sarcastically to the door.
He definitely doesn’t know he’s messing with a Nelson.
I open the door and stare at him
‘’Mona look, I’m sorry I didn’t …..’’
‘’Oh Charming, what a wonderful surprise. Look here, I’m not in the
mood of taking all your book of insults right now and then cry them out
like a poor deprived child.’’
I patted myself on the back for being the cause of that terrified look on
his face
Terrified? Was he?
‘’It’s not like that, I promise I actually didn’t know you were different
from all the ladies, I swear’’
Tears start pricking form his eyes like he actually meant it but I didn’t
want to trust him
‘’What do you mean I’m different from all the ladies huh?’’
He looks at me with disappointment and speaks.
‘’I thought women were ugly, ungrateful, stupid, foolish, arrogant,
proud, beggars, old diggers and all the insults you could think of per my
experience, but then I just looked at you and saw the kindness in which
you paid for someone’s debts. Just to see you from afar, my perception
about you would be kind, super smart, loving, caring, graceful and very
fucking beautiful’’
He moans the last word out for me to hear it so clearly. No one has
ever described me in that way. As a matter of fact, it’s also a
perception. I’m stunned. I really want to go inside and rearrange my
face right now cos’ my face looks really flushed by now. These I have
never heard before and it makes me really sad but today feels like my
resurrection chance has appeared.
In shock of what I did not expect happened. David Colton knelt down
on his knees and looked at me with his blue glimsy eyes. I’m trying my
possible best not to fall for him now
‘’Mona, I’m begging you and I swear I will never attempt to do such a
thing. I will never accuse you again. I was already angry and that’s what
made me really get angry when I got that perception of you’’
‘’It’s fine, stand up please.’’
I help him to stand on his feet knowing I couldn’t take it anymore with
him on his knees and begging.
‘’I forgive you and so you know I hate accusations. I really hate
accusations’’
‘’Oh lord thank you so much Mona’’
Ok one more thing just to know if I’m actually a lady who deserves all
those kind words
‘’I have a question. Did you mean everything you said? That I was
different from all other ladies?’’
Waiting for the moment of truth is not easy but clinging on to every
ounce of control is also not easy
‘’I meant every word and every single letter but please trust me I’m not
telling lies. Any man would be lucky to have you’’
Oh! Ok! I can’t control this again. Quickly and firmly before he turns
away, I hug him tight. His chest feels so solid and rigid, muscular
enough for a military officer.
‘’Thank you so much David, thank you.’’

DAVID
This is the best day ever cause Mona hugged me. Nothing feels better
than standing and hugging her. The scent of her hair fill my nostrils. It
smells like daises mixed with fresh milk
Damn it! Her lips are so attractive and I’m holding on to every ounce of
self-control to not make the biggest mistake in my life. Every cell in my
body is just screaming to do it but thinking of the consequences and
how the atmosphere would be makes my stomach crawl
Her pinkish wet lips makes me close the gap between us. Our breathing
rhymes in a sync and our gaps are uncontrollable
I felt like this was my only chance I’d get. I let out a low curse, turned
and yanked her to me as my mouth crashed down on hers.
Mona’s arms wrapped around my neck, her body pliant beneath mine.
She tasted like I imagined, mint and nectar. Prior to that, it had become
my favorite taste in the world.
I pushed her against the side of her door and tightened my grip on her
hair, my mouth not leaving hers the entire time. This wasn’t a sweet
kiss. It was strong, tender and demanding.
She tugged on my hair in return, her tongue tangling with mine. I
wonder why I’m kissing her but it feel so good
WHY. THE. FUCK. AM. I. KISSING. MONA
‘’Oh fuck.’’ I scrubbed a hand over my face, my loud scowl enough for
her to move away from me. ‘’Fuck, fuck, fuck.’’
‘’Uh I’m sorry I didn’t ---‘’
‘’I’ll try and make---‘’
Our voices overlap at the same time we would like to explain. I give her
a sign to go ahead with what she wants to say
“I’m sorry it had to be this way. I’m sorry we kissed and all that.”
“No look Mona, this was my fault. I kissed you in which I had no right to
do. Looks like we both have to work on our self-control huh?”
“Yeah, right”
“Absolutely”
Ok this was very awkward after apologizing to someone I basically
kissed.
I was just about to break the ice of this awkward moment when she
does it for me. Thank fucking God. Didn’t want to be blabbering like a
grade 5 boy
“So I was thinking about now, why don’t we become acquaintances,
like friends. I literally forgave you twice already in a day and also
promised to work on our self-control, plus to never repeat this again.
Friends?”
She held out her hand so fruitfully with a cheerful smile. I couldn’t be
friends with her cos I’m nothing but torture in disguise of danger.
Inasmuch I am bad, I don’t want to disappoint her so I do as she does
“Friends, but I’m warning you, I’m worse than pain”
“Oh David”
She said it so sarcastically in order to prove I’m kidding
“I’m actually serious though”
That brought her laughter to a halt
“Okay D, I’m looking forward to it”
I need to find an escape out of this blizzard moment again. This time I’ll
do it
“Kay friend, looks like I got to go check up on my brother. Nice meeting
you. Bye Mona.”
I start jogging backwardly with a wave and try to make that slow byebye motion. Not until I trip over a huge log blocking my way. Luckily, I
balanced myself
Mona let out a shy laughter and her cheeks turned rosy pink. Uh-oh I
knew that smile
Immediately she realized herself and rushed inside
She Likes Me?
Really?
Must be daydreaming cos’ I don’t do those type of love shit
I .Don’t. Date
That’s my code
IDD
Inasmuch I would really love to tell my dick to calm down, I’m still not
dating
I don’t want anything to come between us. Hell I don’t even want us to
be friends. What have I gotten myself into?
“Fuck.”

Best. Kiss. Ever
Throughout my junior year relationship life, my boyfriend’s weren’t
really bold about kissing so fiercely but then David is different and more
demanding.
I’m not calling him my boyfriend, no, no, no, and no
Not now, not ever and never
It’s just…… probably he’s hotter and a good kisser. Imagine we
married……
