DOS Ch-33
“Aunt Tiffany!” “Midget!” We hugged like long-lost lovers.It might seem a little out of character for me, but I cherished the idea of having a relative like an aunt or a cousin because I didn’t have any biological relatives beyond my mother. Tiffany was very cool with everything, at least the two times we met. I had only met her boyfriend, Beaumont, once, and that too was a brief encounter that didn’t go beyond exchanging pleasantries.“Are you trying to steal my woman?” Beau asked in a…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

With tensions at an all-time high, I was on the edge of my seat when Mum took my hand and squeezed gently. I turned to her in amazement because the camera was on me along with all the nominees, thus I had a smile fixed on my face, but she understood with a mere look what I was feeling deep down. ‘It’s okay,’ she mouthed and I was back to being my normal self instantly.I grinned at her and squeezed her hand back before turning to the stage where Hilary Swank had opened the envelope by now.“And then…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

You can do it!”That gave Evan just enough confidence to finish the rep. When he was finally done, Troy helped him rerack the weight before grinning widely.“That was great man!” Troy clasped his hand in a…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

I didn’t have the words to describe the feeling of winning my second Oscar before turning 18. On one hand, it felt unimaginably good holding the trophy; on the other, I knew I hadn’t created these songs on my own. In a way, this Oscar didn’t feel like it was fully mine. With these conflicting emotions swirling in my mind, I waited backstage for the next award.Usually, winners are ushered off to give interviews, but since I was nominated in another category immediately following this one, I had been…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Taylor was beyond ecstatic. She knew her luck was extraordinary when Troy Armitage bought her contract, but she hadn't expected a world tour this early in her career. Troy, being Troy, refused to settle for anything less than perfection—especially for his tour. He had even employed some tech companies to invent something new exclusively for his concerts. That’s why he had arranged one-on-one lessons for her to weed out the only weak link. Lessons that went beyond just improving her…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“I knew you were lying, Helen.” Betty smiled viciously, keeping her voice low enough that no nearby adults would overhear. “You don’t know any celebs, let alone Harry Potter.”Helen’s hands curled into fists at her sides.

No home videos. Nothing to show the world that her older brother was actually…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

As Steve was a US citizen, it wasn’t too difficult to get a visa. At one point, Steve suggested that I give up my British citizenship and become a full-fledged American, but I was hesitant. Thankfully, Kathy…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

The production of the third and fourth Potter films was finally underway with Alfonso Cuaron helming the joint project. I couldn’t be happier with the turn of events because Cuaron was one of my favorite directors of all time. Each and every one of his movies is created with a passion that is rarely seen in filmmakers today, where more focus is placed on the commercial performance than the art. From what I could recall, my favorite film of his was . The dystopian world he created was a marvel of modern…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
