    Edua Erasmus

    I'm 34 years young, from South Africa and when I sit down to write, I don't write straight-forward stories (pun intended).A book should do two things to a reader:1) take your imagination on a journey2) have a bit of eye-candy on the cover...and I hope I succeed in this.My stories are hard to classify as they doesn't stick to just one genre and though I don't write erotica, some stories (like "Delinquent's Survival Guide") does contain some M2M action for the reader's enjoyment.As always, if you enjoyed my work please leave a review as it's like applause to a writer.Be sure to follow on Facebook for updates.

      How I grieved THE MOTHER I NEVER HAD

      Mar 1, 2022

      The call came mid-morning, when I was sitting at my desk at work. The lady on the other end had a quiet, soothing voice. She was calling, she said, to arrange the details for my mum’s funeral. My first feeling was relief. When I’d last seen my mother

    CHAPTER ONE

    I lay on my bed with my hands behind my head; staring up at the ceiling in thought while listening to one of my favorite songs through my earphones. Ballyhoo’s ‘Man on the Moon’ finally made sense to me and suddenly the sad subject matter was applicable to me.

    If there’s a man on the moon, can you hear me calling you? Please save me from sharing my love with two… When I’m with one I seem to miss the other. The grass is always greener on the other side.

    Not many songs spoke to me like this song did at that moment. It was as if the artist knew exactly what I was feeling ever since John sent me that message which turned my world upside down. Did he truly have feelings for me or was he just curious for a taste of what the other side might offer? Though I opened his message I didn’t respond to it and he didn’t send another text after that one.

    When I got home, I noticed he seemed to be continuously online whenever I opened my WhatsApp – as if he was waiting by the phone for me to respond… but I didn’t know what to respond. What should I say? I spent the most amazing day with Adam and part of me wanted to be with him while the other part longed for that rush I used to feel when I saw John in the school corridors.

    It was just after ten PM – I was able to avoid John for about four hours, but sooner or later I’d run into him at school the next day. I probably couldn’t avoid him forever?

    Could friendships successfully turn into relationships? You let down your guard while in a relationship and allow the other person to get to know you better; see you for who you really are – strengths and insecurities. What if the relationship doesn’t work out? Can you go back to being friends? Would you even want to go back to being friends after opening up like that?

    As the song came to a close, I opened John’s WhatsApp profile photo and stared at those boyishly innocent eyes and those lips that called out to be kissed again. I felt
