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

Can you really fall in love with a partner picked by your parents? This is the question explored in Rearranged. For the hopelessly romantic Neha Patel, the only thing worse than an arranged marriage is disappointing her parents. So when she's suddenly taken to India to meet her future husband, Neha drags along her best friend Jenny, a jaded child of divorce, to help derail the plan. What they find in India forever rearranges their understanding of the world, love and themselves. Told from three points of view (Neha, Jenny and Anand, the boy Neha is arranged to marry), Rearranged explores cross-cultural relationships, the diversity of the Indian immigrant experience, the "forgotten" India, and the universal nature of love.

Aditi and West hate each other. They bicker, they flirt, and are possibly a little in love. Blotching the hot new guy's shirt with chocolate-mixed spit is probably not the best idea of a revenge, but Aditi soon discovers that she doesn't regret it one bit. Because despite being a jerk, West too knows what it's like to be brown, Muslim and falling apart in an all-white high school, and when he gets entangled in Aditi's struggle to tackle a debilitating trauma and a really, really loud Bangladeshi wedding, the fledgeling love-hate relationship will leave her either healed or heartbroken. Or pretty dead, because an outbreak of crimes is gripping her quaint little town in fear, and the gorgeous flirt she's falling for has his fair share of ugly secrets. - FEATURED BY @Wattpad: Summer days, summer love; Community Curator: @grendelthegood; Summer loving days THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION AND DOESN'T INTEND TO OFFEND.

He gets tangled up with her at the same time as his newfound mentor Oskar confronts Ingrid about the heartbreak she caused him way back when.

Was published, but is now off the market--I'm sorry! Brianne is the opposite of her best friend, Kyla. Kyla is open-minded; Brianne is closed off, judgmental. Kyla is a hopeless romantic. Brianne? Not so much. So when Kyla shoves an apple into her face telling her to throw it across the cafeteria so she can find her future love, Brianne is anything but interested. And yet she throws the apple anyway. Who does the apple hit? Dannon Barone, the most popular boy in school. Though he's seemingly sweet and all-smiles, Brianne dislikes him. She thinks he's a fake, a fraud, someone who is just charming the crowds in order to gain popularity. But Brianne is about to learn that stereotypes are not true, and that she's been too quick to judge those around her. Brianne Nichols' life is about to change forever. And what does she have to thank for it? A bruised piece of fruit. Who would have known that a stupid apple could be right? | technically not part of the summary | Okay, so I know the prenote says to find any errors you can. Just letting you know there's no point to that anymore because I've reedited it two more times after this one (extensively so), and already sent it in to be self-published. The only reason that the prenote is still up is because a fan made an amusing slideshow and if I edit anything then the tags for the wattys will be gone and I'll no longer be entered , hahah!
