Most people adopt pets but I have been always adopted by pets. They just land up in front of me and never let me leave. They stick to me stubbornly.

April 27, 2018April 8, 201813 Comments

Xavier Bivera was the quintessential handsome macho guy in college. He was the heartthrob of almost every girl and those girls who actually didn’t feel anything for him also started liking him out of peer pressure. He was tall, lean, and looked like a Roman God. He was a year senior to me. I used … Continue reading Xavier Bivera- The Fallen Rockstar #A-ZChallenge2018
