♡♡♡ Natasha smith was always known as the 'quiet girl', she has a tight circle of childhood friends, and spends her days buried in books. Due to her anxiety she's always struggled making friends and putting herself out there but now's the perfect opportunity to learn how too. Ezra white was your typical bad boy, resting bitch face, lots of tattoos, has a motorbike and hates everyone except his friends. Ezra has always been Nat's number 1 protector, always there when she needs him. Now there's another thing about these two childhood best friends that they don't know about each other. They've both been in love with each other since they could remember but are both too scared and stubborn to admit it to one another. Them and the rest of their friends all make it into NYU and are about to move into their new apartments. New school year, new environment, possibly new friends? So many new opportunities are about to rise, new challenges, new people. So where does that leave the two oblivious in love idiots? ♡♡♡ "You know I'd never let anything happen to you sweetheart. I've always got your back." He comes and sits next to me, he also leans his back against the headboard next to me. "Even when I annoy you?" A small smile threatens my lips. "Even when you annoy me." "Even when I eat the last slice of pizza?" "Even when you eat the last slice of pizza." He's now full on smirking at me, so much I can see his dimples. "I'm guessing you're staying?" I looked up at him slightly. He gives me a smile before looking through my draws finding my snacks and tv control. "You bet your sweet ass I am." I let out a laugh as he turned on the tv. I also snatch my blue sour patch kids from him. Knowing him he'd eat all of them. ♡♡♡

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

Damian Blackwood is a man who has everything-wealth, power, and an unshakable reputation as a ruthless CEO. Love? He never believed in it. To him, emotions were distractions, and relationships were nothing more than business transactions. But everything changes one morning when he accidentally spills coffee on a stranger at a café. Ella Carter, with her soft eyes and warm smile, isn't like the people he's used to. She doesn't fawn over his status or try to impress him. Instead, she simply cleans the mess, gives him a polite nod, and walks away-leaving him utterly captivated. For fifteen days, Damian returns to the café at the same time, just to see her from afar. He doesn't know why. He doesn't even know her name. But something about her makes his carefully controlled world feel unsteady. Then fate takes control. Ella walks into Blackwood Enterprises for an interview, only to realize the man from the café-the one who had been haunting her thoughts-is her new boss. Damian is thrilled but keeps his emotions locked away, offering her the job with a professional mask. As they spend more time together, the tension between them grows. Damian finds himself breaking his own rules, drawn to the warmth and kindness Ella brings into his cold, calculated world. Ella, in turn, sees glimpses of the man beneath the powerful CEO-one who's afraid to love, but even more afraid of losing her. Will Damian finally let go of his fears and embrace the love he never believed in? Or will his hesitation cost him the one thing he never knew he needed? A heartfelt, slow-burn romance about fate, unexpected love, and the power of simple moments that change everything.

In which an eccentric college freshman keeps failing her driving test because a certain grumpy instructor doesn't seem like he wants her to pass. *** "Hey, don't make it obvious, but there are these guys behind us, and they've been checking us out for the last five minutes." Karla whispered, leaning over the table. "I don't care about guys!" I whined. "I'm more worried about my asshole instructor. Like what's his deal? If my parents find out I've been failing all these tests, I'll never get a license, let alone a decent car." Karla's eyes remained fixed on that table. "Um, I think one of them is motioning for us." Without bothering to look, I flipped my middle finger in the general direction of the table behind me. Karla gasped, quickly reaching over to pull my hand down as a burst of laughter erupted from behind. "Don't do that!" she hissed. "It's rude." I rolled my eyes and finally turned around to see what their deal was. My eyes widened, and I instantly whipped back around, my hand flying to cover my face. "Oh crap. I did not just curse him." "What...?" Karla raised a brow, confused by the sudden change in my demeanor. I gave her a mortified stare. "That's my instructor!" *** [a story inspired by a reel] Ranked 3 on #hefellfirst Ranked 2 on #grumpyxsunshine
