A cup of latte was what started their story on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Matt, a college student who was working as a barista, didn't see it coming. It all happened too fast. He never expected that on that very day, a handsome young man would walk into the shop and took his heart away. But little did Matt know that he had fallen for the man he was forbidden to love. It would be extremely unprofessional for him to nurture these feelings, but by the time he realized that, it was already too late to back away. Through many twists and turns, through each small step, they slowly discovered what their relationship truly was and what they meant to each other. And the journey they both went on, it was like the latte that started everything-it has not only the sweetness of milk and cream, but also the hidden bitterness of coffee. __________ ◇ Featured in Wattpad StoriesUndiscovered's Love Is In The Air reading list - from March 1st to March 28th, 2020. ◇ Featured in Wattpad ContemporaryLit's Contemporary Romance reading list

Evander Holzgrefe has almost made it. He just has to ace one internship after his final year for him to get his dream career and something his parents would finally be proud of. Before a certain boy crashes into his life. Evander could describe Aziel as the shy, nerdy, skinny kid who seemed to be a little strange. But if he would have to choose one word to describe him, it would be that Aziel was very quiet. Except one day when Aziel's silence is broken by a cry so soft it was merely a whisper.

Miller Spencer knows that it's normal to love your best friend. Ace has been his best friend since forever. So, of course, it's completely natural to want to kiss him. It is typical to get jealous when you see him with someone else. It is absolutely ordinary that you may or may not have certain fantasies that aren't civilized enough to be told out loud. It is simply impossible that Miller would make the grave mistake of falling for his best friend in the all too familiar and cliche trope. Or maybe, Ace is trouble and Miller is falling for him. (TW: mild to moderate.)

The three fundamental laws of Northwood High were clear. A rumour in motion tends to remain so unless asked to shut up. The amount of respect you receive equalled popularity. And the third, and the most supremely infallible one, Wilder Collins was the best kisser ever. After verifying the third law, Nico finds his long-suppressed feelings for his former best friend return. With trying to hide his sexuality from his mom, maintaining his grades and awkwardly third-wheeling between his two best friends, he already has a lot on his plate. A sizzling scandal involving Wilder is definitely not what he needs. So of course, it's best to forget about the kiss. Hence naturally, it's the only thing he can think about.

Ezekiel Joziah Hunt is the last Descendant of the Stars. As the bastard son of the King of Evimeria, he was shunned by his Grandfather Andreas when he was a small child and forced to rip off his supernatural powers. Seeking sanctuary, Ezekiel moves to a sleepy town as a student at Stonewall, an average all-boys boarding school. He has stayed hidden until the day during his vacations when a near-fatal accident reawakens his power in front of the royal court. His mystical abilities aren't the only revelation. An incomplete prophecy convinces Ezekiel that there is an impending threat within his universe. A celestial instability grows stronger each day, just as his powers do. Now, he must battle against a scheming grandfather who despises him, and the other nobles who crave to learn the secrets of his power and the prophecy without endangering their lives. But Ezekiel's biggest challenge is evading the bitterness and darkness inside him threatening to implode with a force as catastrophic as the stars.

What do you do when the last star falls? After facing a devastating loss, Ezekiel finds himself buried, not knowing how to resurface. The weight of the prophecy looms over him even as Evimeria crowns her new king. An epic battle advances like a serpent, the celestial catastrophe prances ever closer and Ezekiel finds himself with his sole company of darkness. Isn't it easier to simply melt into it?
