The Ocean

You’re like a wave washing the shore, brushing my feet slowly, gently, cold, and yet giving me warmth inside. And just like the wave, you soon let go of my feet, leaving me alone and wanting more, slightly drifted toward you. And there you are, back to the ocean, free and magnificent, drifting along with such force you always have in you.

And then you’ll be back again, touching my feet, offering such closeness and pleasure that I know will always be temporary, because you need to go back to the ocean only to come crashing me again.

But I always feel like all this time you’re somebody else’s tide. You’re wild and you soar high when you’re around them. You embrace them, make them dance along with you in the ocean.

All this time, I knew it all. But somehow I seem to forget about it every time you come back to the shore, gleaming under the sun. I know I can leave the shore whenever I want, moving somewhere else, finding a shelter that will protect me forever.

But I don’t. I keep standing there at the shore, waiting for your wave, hoping that someday, you’ll drift me to the center of the ocean, when you can finally become the tide that keeps me there forever.

Enchanted IncKatie Chandler always heard that New York was an amazing city, but this girl from Texas didn’t exactly realize what she was about to witness until she lived there. Wherever she looked at, there was always something weird and strange, and Katie was afraid that she would go insane.

Suddenly, Katie got a job offer from Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., a company that produced spells for the world of magic. From then on, she realized that magic was real; her supervisor who was a monster, fairies (yes, with wings) around the city, until guys who were turned into frogs. Everything was magical.

She came to live in New York with her friends, Gemma and Marcia, in an apartment. Even though they were Katie’s best friends, she was not allowed to tell them anything about her new world. That was the only requirement for her job. How long could she keep these magical secrets from her best fiends?

Note: This book blends it for those who love romance and fantasy books. I have read quite a lot of stories with magical creatures in it, and I must admit this is one of my favorites.
