Confessions of Us
by Alexandra
Forry
GENRE: Romance
BLURB:
As a
girl, Adaline was left orphaned due to gang violence and to be raised by her
grandmother and her parents’ old friend Frank, now following in her parent's footsteps
she finds herself at a crossroad in her life of what she wants and what she
feels she has a responsibility to do. As soon as Adaline makes the commitment
to the mafia however her life becomes riddled with lies, betrayal, lust, and
murder. When the one person Adaline always thought she could believe in becomes
the one person she can't trust a question begins to pull at Adaline's mind one
day will she live through it or will she find herself in an early grave just as
her parents did? Adaline is unsure of the answer but will do anything for the
possibility of becoming a famous news journalist.
Excerpt:
"Hey, my name is Dayton, I came
over here to share a drink with you." The man holds out his hand for her
to shake.
"I don't share drink with
strangers." Adaline says meanwhile turns her face to the other side
without thinking about how rude and off-putting it is. Regretting it she looks
at him and shakes his hand expecting him to walk away. Cat and Heidi snicker in
the background at her awkwardness.
"Ok, so do you mind give me the
honor of this dance?" The man raises an eyebrow at her questioning look
about whether or not she dances. “Or do you just not dance either?”
“No no, I dance…” Adaline says
awkwardly. The snickers from behind her get louder so she shoots them a glare.
Demanding silently that they shut up.
"No no, I dance." Adaline
says awkwardly. The snickers from behind her get louder, so she shoots them a
glare, demanding silently that they shut up.
“So would you?” Dayton asks her once
more.
“Would I what?”
"So would you?" Dayton asks
her once more. His eyes were full of happiness
“Would I what?” Adaline asks Dayton on
an acute accent.
Cat and Heidi burst out laughing in
response to this before coming to Adaline's rescue explaining to the man that
she is a little bit awkward in meeting to people.
"She would love to have a special
dance." Cat declares before gently pushing Adaline in Dayton’s direction.
"So is your name pretty like
you?" the man says once they get to the dance floor and begin dancing.
“It's Adaline.”
"Adaline, Wow that is a beautiful
name as I guess." The man begins to spin her around on the dance floor.
They dance for nearly two hours before taking a break to sit in a booth and
talk.
