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
