Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
I'm really grateful ^^ Thanks a million, I've finally understood the main mistakes I do without noticing them ( Shamefully, as english is my 3rd language, I've got trouble with the writing grammar ).
Thanks again, best wishes! =)

Okay, I'm stopping here, but if you would like me to review the rest, please PM me. I think with a little work, you could have a very COOL book on your hands. Best of luck on your story!
Hey Kyou! ^^ This must be the story you were telling me about, no?

I really liked it, but the grammar and all that were a bit jarring, so maybe you might try correcting them. Your dialogue is a bit wooden. Instead of:
“You know, I heard you broke a law. What happened?”
“Oh, that? Some troublesome molesters bugged me when I hurried back home from the grocery. Being attractive sure has damned disadvantages.”
“Maybe does, maybe doesn’t. Anyway, for you to deal with them so well you must have some experience at martial arts, right?”
You could say:
"Care to explain yourself?" He gestured at the front door, an eyebrow raised. She shrugged.
"Oh, that? It's nothing really...I was held up for a bit."
He frowned disbelievingly. "...Held up? That's not what it sounded like."
She shrugged again, dumping her bags onto a table in the corner. "Just some guys."
"...and?"
She smirked. "Let's just say I let them have it."
That's one way to describe the scene. Of course, it depends all on the characterization, but you need to draw out the scene a little more and make it complete with gestures and all that. Just a little tip from me.
See you!
Robyn.
That's
=) I owe you a million, thanks ^^
Hallo, Aushy here for your review! :}
I. Problems D;
Grammar
In some places, you forget a comma, or confuse a punctuation. Other than that, however, you were mainly consistent in grammar.
'Meanwhile' and 'Afterwards'
I noticed that you overuse the words 'meanwhile' and 'afterward.' I'll show you some examples below.
This is what you should not do:
The girl looked up at the man, meanwhile the man sat down.
It should be more like:
The girl looked up at the man as he sat down.
An example of afterward:
He looked at her and sighed. Afterward, he stood up and left the room.
You should do:
He looked at her, sighed, and stood up, leaving the room.
I don't know whether or not this is the style of your writing, or if you're just confused, so I decided to point it out. :}
Past Tense
You seem to be having some slight confusion on past tense as I did recently. I continued to have problems with past tense until writing in present tense. I understand that you're writing this story as if it happened only a few seconds ago, or minutes, or hours. But past tense can be anything from a nanosecond ago to a million years ago. When you're talking about the girl or describing things, the words 'are' and 'is' can be used in nothing but dialect. Remember this, please. :}
Confusion
Unfortunately, there were times in your piece that was I completely and utterly confused. Everything seemed almost rushed and awkward until you neared the end with your conversation with the girl. I was confused on why you were in the house, who you were, really, why you randomly fell asleep, who this girl was, and why, if you two didn't know each other so well, she greeted you so happily. I mean, I would have pretended to know you until the police left and then been like, "Okay, who the heck are you and what do you think you're doing in my house?" Unless she's been informed over this, in which case you should make mention.
Perhaps to clean up the beginning you can mention how you think it will be living in such a place. It'll clean a few things up and make us interested. :}
II. Praise :}
You're a good writer, I can tell that much, and when you did show your description, it was amazing. It was just not frequent enough for my taste. My advice? Work on your description and clean up your grammar a bit. Try to paint a better picture in my mind and leave something unsaid, uncovered, so we will want to keep reading. I can tell this story has a lot of potential, you just need to work at it!
Come to my tropical shack by clicking 'Reviews' or PM me if you ever want me to review anything again. Keep writing! :}
Love & Blessings,
Aushy
