Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

I smile because that's how I cope and that's how I show people I'm strong. People like Samuel O'Connell who I despise and who despises me. People like Samuel O'Connell who was my world and my life but now is just an addition to the many reasons why I'm miserable. People like Samuel O'Connell who can't stay away from me or leave me alone.

**Book 1 Completed** ************************ I've had this idea for a story spinning around in my head for a while and have finally decided to sit down and start writing it. Emily (is a fictional character I've made up) and is in a horrific domestically abusive relationship with a guy called Jason, when eventually James Arthur walks into the coffee shop she works in one day and love blossoms. It's also become a random crossover with 30 Seconds to Mars, because... why not 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hoping this will work out and that I will actually finish a story for once. Hope you guys enjoy

|| This story qualified for ROUND 2 of @YourStoryIndia contest in the TOP TEN stories for the Short Story Genre || ❝How much can you fade away under the dominance of another person over your heart?❞ - Hitherto. When Sapphire enters Hitherto Café she encounters her first love-the boy who left her life in ruins when he fled town after high-school without so much as a word goodbye. One glance of Keith's haunted blue eyes tells her he's finally ready to talk. As for her? She no longer cares enough to listen. At least that's what she tells herself. Besides, Sapphire has enough on her plate. Her best friend Diana is barely holding up, desperate, Sapphire pushes her issues with Keith aside and teams up with Diana's potential interest, Matt. Together, she and Matt struggle to keep Diana from slipping into depression. When Sapphire blows off steam by kissing another guy during a random house party, Keith falls apart. With this evidence that Keith's feelings for her are genuine, Sapphire has to choose now: Give Keith another chance and risk losing all the progress she's made in getting over him or finally let go of the only boy she's ever truly loved. ~ [A huge Thank You to - @Tamaradw for editing the blurb & helping me improve it.] This story is in its first draft and a little rough around the edges.

As if on cue, my room door bursts open, and in comes a girl. She's short, round in the face and has caramel skin; the ends of her natural, curly afro hair are died turquoise, and brown eyes lined with navy blue liner stare at me with curiosity, relief, but most of all, love. It's as if I've never seen her before in all my life, but I know her. I don't even have to ask who it is, or wait for an introduction. "Evetta," I breathe, but from the way that her lips curl into a smile, I know that she heard me. *** Caleb Winters wakes from a coma after a horse riding incident which he cannot remember, with chunks of his memory missing.

There was something different about this coffee shop. I had been coming here for eight years and I just couldn't find myself ever losing interest in it. I just kept coming back. Whether it was to enjoy their delicious drinks and treats or just to relax and think. Or maybe it was just to enjoy and admire the flamboyant woman behind the counter. Mature Language involved. This is my first time writing a story like this. It is a work of fiction and is not a true depiction, any similarities (names and places) to things in real life are purely coincidental.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Memories of each aromas are different from the other. One may be burnt and one may taste funny but there is this one coffee bean that has brought the both of us together, a bus rather... A roller coaster ride that nobody wants to ride is one hell'a thrilling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For every chapters of my story, I'll be adding gif's or short videos of the movies that I have watched related to my story. If you are interested of knowing the movie. I'll add the title of the movie after the end of each chapter.

"Now, Gary. I understand that you're twenty-four. But I need you to train in restraining your sexual desire, you're not a horny teenager. So, we will not be leaving this restaurant for another half an hour. Then you're going to go to my place where I will exhaust you until you climax over and over again." She told me as she drinks her coffee slowly and started rubbing my upper thigh again. "Drink your coffee baby, you will need your strength." I smiled at her as she smiled back knowingly. "Say thank you, mistress." She whispered in my ear, making me groan, as I instantly got hard again. ***** When Gary worked for Adriana it was for the experience, and for the amount of money that they offer for an easy administration job.

Gary's name was on the line because he refused to fix the game. He already drained his account, but he was not coming up with enough money. Until he finally came to Adriana and took on her offer to be a sugar baby. ***** Megan is a very well-known businesswoman. She was raised the hard way, where she didn't have the luxury of money. Now that she's a billionaire in the making, she doesn't have the time to date. But she likes to play, and she was bored being hassled by men for her money until she found Adriana. Her company was a time saver for Megan. She offered exclusivity to all the gorgeous men that she could choose from. Until one fateful day when Gary showed up instead of her usual companion. From him, she learned the true meaning of living. Will, she finally settled down with him? Will he ever be comfortable around her wealth? Let's dive in and find out, shall we? ******** *Warning!

He starts to walk towards me but I shout at him and back away to the wall still flustered by everything that's going on. "Get away from me! What happened? Where am I?" I shout as he backs up and his face suddenly springs to my memory. "Thomas?" "Yeah. Sorry for scaring you, I didn't mean to." He replies to me softly. "What am I doing here?
