Capture A Husband: My Asian Mother's Quest

"What the fuck did you send over, Nicky?" Laurie is screaming over the phone at six fucking o'clock in the morning. "It has a note. And I believe that the message was clear." the name Nicky answered. "Well that's exactly, why I am asking!" she exclaimed angrily, glaring at the innocently looking red leather pill box, that is instantly recognizable as a famous jewelry brand, sitting on her kitchen counter, with a note that says - I heard you cry over a guy, here's a small gift to let you know that I'd marry you anytime. With the familiar scrawling penmanship in the white piece of paper, she would know who sent her the note, even without calling the guy on the phone. *** When the guy you confessed to rejected you, and your two exes came back running—declaring they would marry you any time, what would you do? Would you choose a familiar old love or the one that has your heart but doesn't want you? And to add to the chaos, her mother is on a mission to marry her nearing thirty-something ass to any man who breathes. What should a girl do in such a situation? Run away, of course! But then, how far can you run away until all the life's decisions you screwed up in the past caught up with you and you ended up with no choice but to face them. Welcome to Laurie’s adventure and just to be clear this is not a love story BUT a quest. [WARNING: Some chapters may contain mature R-18 content.] --- Book cover by Sendaline_16

It Is What It is

^-^

She bit her lip and looked up at the glass wall and met Jiro's smoldering gaze. She forgot that the wall of the cafe was glass and Jiro could see her reflection. 

Her face burned up. She felt as though she was caught naked, doing something that should be done behind a locked door. 

She averted her gaze, but too late. Jiro saw what was on those eyes, and his fingers gripped her shoulder to acknowledge them. She could say something, do something to keep the momentum going, but then, the memory of Jiro turning her down flashed in front of her eyes. 

She opened and closed her hands that were resting on her lap, and did nothing. She let the sexual tension between them dissipate in thin air. 

She never thought that she could be a coward!

She had no idea how Jiro interpreted her actions, or if he could read them, he said nothing. He simply pulled her shoulder closer to him and pressed a kiss on her temple.
