The night she comes back from her best friend's apartment after finding out her boyfriend is married, she meets a huge man sleeping on the snow in her backyard. 23-year old Charlie Jordan doesn't know what to do. After so many calls and studying, she finds out the man—Blurin Jameson— is an ex-militant whose address got mixed up on deployment day. It takes Charlie 419 Days to realize how her heart beats faster when ever they're near or when his eyes lights up... Or how she completes his amount of ribs.

Chapter 1: Just a side chick

JUST A SIDE CHICK"Hey. Hey, baby, wake up." The 6'2" man shakes the sleeping dinosaur beside him. His head is foggy and messy and the events of last night were blurry but he knew it was long. Very long.Charlie moans as she rolls herself awake. Her eyes stay shut for some seconds but almost immediately, she opens them and grins sluggishly, "Hey, Marrie,"'Marrie' cringes and shoots Charlie a playful glare to which the latter giggles and leans upward to place a chaste kiss on his lips. Mario Denison moves his head so fast to avert the kiss."Morning breath." He simply states.Charlie nods and places a peck on his cheek instead. She jumps from the bed to the floor which was probably a bad idea because she came tumbling face-first to the floor."Ow. You definitely tore me a new one, Mario."A smirk appears on Mario's face at the power boost to his ego and... Down ther...

Dialogue writing is so awesome that I am hooked to your plot. The plot is different but a good kind of different. The characterization of Charlie is great. also, I am loving Bluerin😉. And you did a fine job with the writer's block. Waiting for your next chapter. Update soon❤

Chapter 2: Best-friend like Deedah
BEST FRIEND LIKE DEEDAH"I'm not buying any sweets honey!" Deedah McKenna yells from her kitchen. Those kids are at it again. Deedah always warns them not to stop at her apartment door with a bucket of expired sweets and awfully packaged chocolates. It isn't a surprise that the kids make the chocolates themselves.The person knocks again and Deedah groans before stomping to the door and yanking it open."LOOK— Charlie? What are you-" She finally notices Charlie's swollen red eyes, "Oh, hell no!" She immediately pulls her best friend into her bachelorette apparent. It was actually ironic how Deedah owns a bachelorette apartment when she's two years into her marriage.Black women's independence can not be measured."I'm fine Dee," The thirteenth lie Charlie has muttered this month.If she is anything right now it's definitely not fine. Angry, yes. But not fine."Bitch

Chapter 3: The man outside my door
THE MAN OUTSIDE MY DOOR "Greta, dear? Is that you?" A frail voice queries as Charlie passes by an old looking bungalow. It's Mama Freya; the 72-year old Canadian woman who lived just beside Char's apartment. The old lady had a case of Alzheimer's disease and mild diabetes. Charlie smiles sadly, "No, Mama Freya. It's me, Charlie." Mama Freya pauses in her chair rocking and smiles brightly, "That's what I said!" Charlie shakes her head with a giggle. She walks over to the shaky woman and kisses her pasty forehead. Shue grins as Mama Freya coos sluggishly at Charlie. "I think you look beautiful this morning!" Apart from chicken broth, the only thing that can hit home, for Mama Freya, is compliments. This'll make her gush like a teenager and reminisce on the good ol' days. Surely, Charlie does not want to sit around and l

Chapter 4: Cute Panda Bear
CUTE PANDA BEAR "H...hello?" Charlie finally summons the courage to speak after staring at the man for two solid minutes. Charlie wonders how she hasn't pooped her pants from standing in the same presence with a mountain man. She mentally kicks herself for not grabbing the baseball bat behind her bedroom door or the bow and arrow underneath her kitchen cabinet... Or the pepper spray on her kitchen window sill. "Um... What? What are you doing in my ba...backyard?" Stammers Charlie. The bulky man takes a step forward so that the tip of his leather boots is hitting the lintel of the patio door. Charlie takes two steps back; one isn't foolproof. She clutches, tightly, the hem of her pyjama shirt. Suddenly, she feels like crying. Is this it? Is this how she'll die? She hasn't even edited her 20th book!

Chapter 5: Unconsciously Protective
AUTHOR'S NOTEI would have put this author's note at the end of the Chapter but to avoid unnecessary corrections and critics, I decided to put it here. PLEASE NOTE the male protagonist begins to speak in this chapter and his pattern of speaking is... Unique. This is deliberate. The reason for this will be disclosed in the next chapters.UNCONSCIOUSLY PROTECTIVEThe next day, first thing in the morning, Charlie runs to the living room to check if the panda bear is still here.An unconscious smile appears on her face. The man has his knees curled against his chest in a fetal position. His fingers are in fists and are tucked under his chin. A bouncing baby boy; that's what he looks like.Charlie runs back up to her room to do the needful. She puts her hair into a very loose bun. Her chest is covered with a blue long-sleeved shirt and black bottom shorts.As she runs down the stairs, she dials the

Chapter 6: Blurin and Friends
BLU AND FRIENDS"Skimpiness will take you no where, Greta!"That's the first thing Charlie hears when she walks out to her mini vegetable garden.Mama Freya has her frail walking stick poking around the exposed skin on Nora's body. Her butt is on the edge of her rocking chair and her eyes as wide as she yells words of wisdom at the uncomfortable girl."Stop pointing this thing at me, old lady!" Nora swats the walking stick, "and I'm not Greta!"Mama Freya gasps, "What are you doing on my lawn?!" She shrieks loudly, almost rocking herself off the chair. Charlie sees this as an invitation to save both women; one from having a broken neck."Wha— What?!" Nora throws her free hand in abandon, "Your box of peppers appeared on my doorstep! Again!" The college girl slams the cardboard box full of peppers on the patio table."Peppers?""Yes! Yes, pe— okay,"

Chapter 7: Babysitting Charles
BABYSITTING CHARLES"Charlie honey? Are you still there?" Mrs. Pulgo's motherly voice keeps bringing her out of her dazed state.Red coats Charlie's cheeks as she feigns a cough. Her eyes immediately shut in embarrassment. She doesn't know which one was more embarrassing; Her full-on stare or Blurin shooting her a concerned look.She flashes him her signature wobbly smile before running up to her room to avoid embarrassing herself any further."I'm sorry, Mrs. Pulgo! My mind is just still sleepy, I guess?" She giggles it off.Mrs. Pulgo hums from her side of the call, "Okay dear, then this news will favor you,""What news? He isn't coming today?" Charlie asks."Oh no! He is. He's just going to come in a little late. He's coming from Peter's today," The woman sighs.Charlie's eyebrows shoot up in assimilation, 'No wonder she sounds so depressed on th

Chapter 8: Nasty Green Stuff
NASTY GREEN STUFF Roughly a week later, another man dropped by Charlie's apartment. She could swear that after her break-up with Mario, she became a guy-magnet. The guy at the door identified himself as Tristan. Tristan Denvard, Blurin's psychologist. Charlie was stunned when she saw him. Though she wouldn't admit, he looks so much like a piece of garnished bacon. His brown hair was slicked back in a professional fashion and he wore a casual outfit. His eyes were small and calculating and his smile was necessary and clipped. Surely, Charlie had stuttered a little before she got the hang of actually communicating with him without embarrassing herself. Charlie had almost called Deedah out of panic to ask for advice on how to be not so... Stupid. She is still clutching her phone as she ushers Tristan in. He drops his overnight bag close to the door. He nods poli

Chapter 9: Facts about Blurin
FACTS ABOUT BLUTristan wakes up with an uncomfortable feeling. His head throbs slightly and his back is killing him! He didn't sleep all night. He's pretty sure no one in the room slept at all. He remembers glancing at the bedside clock and the 3:43 am flashing brightly.His eyes drifts to Blurin who runs a small comb across his hair. The bulking man wore a navy blue long-sleeved shirt with loose joggers.Tristan bites his lip. He glances at his soaked shirt and puffs out a sigh."I brought your work laptop,""Gracias." (Thank you.) Blurin glances at him briefly before dropping the comb.Blurin turns and walks to the door before Tristan's voice stops him, "Where are you going?""Tengo que ir a cortar el césped y vestir las camas de verduras antes de que se despierte." (I have to go mow the lawn and dress the veggie beds before she wakes up.) He doesn't wait for Tri

Chapter 10: Telling Deedah
TELLING DEEDAH Four hours of punching keys and highlighting sentences later, Charlie is bored. It's not like her life has been a bed of eventful events before. Heck, she just got dumped two weeks ago!  After mowing the lawn, dressing the veggie beds and eating a 'green-free' breakfast, Blurin heads upstairs to his room. Situations like this makes Charlie rethink her decision of giving the stranger is own room. Not because she's against it, but because of how bored she feels right now. If it was the time he was still occupying her couch, she would have basked in the sounds of him flipping to the next page or him hitting his fingers unrhythmically against the hard back of most of the Paranormal books she owns. Sighing, Charlie picks up her phone. "Hey, Char-poo!" Dee's 'overly' high-pitched voice squeals through her speaker.  "Dee
