To Be.., Determined

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Jun 03, 2026


Chapter 2

 

   

     I feel my eye’s welling with tears.

    As if in slow motion as I fall to the floor, Though I pride myself on not being a clumsy person I seem to alway’s be falling……. 

  No matter how many time’s I try to strengthen my ankles I can never seem to stop tripping over my own feet, I slam into the floor with a lowed thump. 

    My chest and lower torso immediately starts to ache.., At least I don’t have hot coffee in my hand this time!    

    Honestly I don’t even know why I try to make myself feel better I take a deep breath trying to calm my nerves…., But I immediately start coughing! 

    Looking up there is a tall man standing there smoking.

    His tall Frame looming like a wolf standing over a corpse. He dose not even seem to see me! His eye’s are transfixed on something across the street.

    This however allow’s me more time to take in his silhouette, His long leg’s stand out the most.

    They seem to command my gazed as they cut though the long buttoned cover of his leather trench coat, The fitted suit pants colored a gray tartan pattern make’s his figure looks so stream lined and commanding. I can almost feel my heart flutter for a moment……., 

    I push the feeling away immediately and instead take a mental picture! His whole ensemble would make the most perfect Inspo for my new comic! 

   I jump to my feet with a smile. 

    No time for seeing how bloody my knees are I need to strike while the iron is hot!! I quickly grab my key’s from my pocket and unlock my ‘lightly’ modified Audi A4, Getting in I grab my phone checking to see if it broke when I fell holding my breath I see it is still in a mostly ‘pristine’ condition I put it on the charger before I start the car.


Since I am so prone to ‘Walking accidents’ I very carefully exit my parking spot.., For the most part I don’t worry about my diving but recently I have been feeling more absent minded.

  I know I have nearly to none human interaction…

 But I do talk to my editor… Some time’s…. Mostly though text….., 


    When I arrive at my building’s parking garage I pick a spot closest to the door, I’m always alone.., The closer the safer…., Probably! Once inside I set my newly purchased coffee beans on the counter, Turning the kettle on I turn in the direction of my desk I stretch as I move forward, I feel all giddy as I start up my Wacom.

    My heart start’s to race as my pen hit’s the surfs of the screen! As I let my inspiration from earlier take over me my pen seem to flow out with a striking amount of sharp lines that slowly become more gentle making the picture before me come to life with an unprecedented beauty that make’s me think of the handsome man who gave such wonderful inspiration! 

    I swoon at the thought of him…,

   I slap myself on both cheeks! 

  I don’t need to be thinking that way.., I didn’t even see his face fully! Only his sharp amber red eyes… Torao!

    The name just pops into my mind, I write a whole backstory for him! My little tiger I promise I will make every girl in the world fall in love with him! 

    But since I concluded my last series on a sad note I wanted to make something new, Exiting!

    With lot’s of action! 

I take in the master peace I made, I can feel it! The is going to be just as good as my last series. 

     I yawn as I hear the kettle ding, 

  It’s time for my favorite treat of the day! My own home made coffee, It truly is the best!

  I loom over my espresso machine as it pulls the shot’s.

It’s the only treat I have been allowing myself well since I’m trying to lose my weight.., I would not describe myself as over weight but I feel I need to get just a bit fitter mostly because I eat too meany sweets! 

    And I sit too much as it is but that’s because I’m busy being a creator of worlds! I giggle to myself for my silliness, Some time’s I forget that part of me… 

    I sigh as the last shot of espresso finishes, My perfect cup of coffee is home made whip cream, Some ice, Espresso shots, and milk, I also top the cream and dark chocolate flakes! 

    That first sip! It gives me the best zing of energy, I now feel even more ready to make my new idea a reality.


   Though sun had long since set and I know my eye lids are get heavy, And my yawns more frequent.., 

     I don’t want to stop even though my bed beckon’s me to relish in it’s cosy embrace.., But before I can even think of doing that I need to take a shower and have my bedtime cup of tea! 

    A night with out a routine I feel I could never, But still I feel that I should just go to sleep.

Lana is a somewhat well know comic artist with a popular romance series, But she is looking for a change! She want's some action with a cool male lead not a dainty girl! But little does she know one random encounter with a "real" tall dark and handsome would change her life! (hopefully in a good way!)

This Book includes a lot of dual POV chapters.

This novel, while inspired by other media and stores, is entirely a work of fiction. All names, characters, and incidents portrayed are the product of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or localities is entirely coincidental.
