"I need a break," she says for the millionth time that day. Just another day for me, she thought, before lighting her cigarette.
*beep* (1)NEW TEXT MESSAGE*
Mr. Spontaneous: Hannah... we need to talk. I need you...
I close the message and sigh. "I... don't know what to do... I can't be there and be here at the same time... I..." I pause and puff another cloud. *ding-dong* *ding-dong* The company bell sounds. Meaning coffee break's over.
"Guess I need to get back inside." I throw away my cigarette butt in the nearest ashtray and got back to my desk.

The Forbidden Affair
[This is a story based on real events, names have been changed for privacy reasons] You're a 19 year old girl, finally settled into your new job and everything is going as expected... until that one night. An unexpectedly pleasant drink after work with Caleb, your 29-year-old colleague, completely changes the atmosphere at work. From that moment on, something seems to happen every week after work that balances just on the edge of what is possible between colleagues. The tension between you is undeniable, and every meeting seems to get more intense. But there's one problem: Caleb has a boyfriend. In this game of push and pull, the rules blur, and the question arises: is something deeper building up here that is more than just tension and attraction, or will it remain as it is now? As you grapple with confusing feelings and Caleb's secrets, you slowly discover what you really want - and maybe what you can't have.
I Run To You (boy×boy)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trigger Warnings ×Self Harm(minor) ×Sexual Content(minor/only good gay smut between 2 people who love each other lol) ×Abuse(major) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He hovered over the tiny boy easily. The smell of Amber radiating from him although his home smells like forest and whiskey and cigars. "You aren't the pizza man." He frowns his deep voice pertruding through Liam's ears. The man taking out the cigar and putting it in the ash tray. This man was very intimidating. "U-uh I'm from t-the ap-partment next d-door." Liam said knees wobbly. Of course he was scared. Liam didn't even come up to his shoulder yet as he was up to his elbow. Strong Australian accent.... Axle thought "Huh..." He says nodding leaning against the door frame. Oh my god. He's actually really hot. But it's obvious he's straight. My straight-ar and gay-dar are never wrong. It's telling me he's straight....Liam thought. "I-I'm L-Liam Walker." He said finally making eye contact. "Hello, Liam. I am Axle Ryder." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Complete

Just A Friend
"Do you know how hard it is for me knowing that you're with someone else?" Tyler asked, staring at me intensely. "You think this is easy for me?" I asked, trying to hold back my tears. "I didn't say it was -" he began, but I cut him off. "It's not. I have to go around hating myself. Hating myself for thinking about you. Hating myself for wanting you. I just want to stop feeling this way." I stepped closer to him as my voice shook with every word. "I want to forget about you, but I just--." The rest of my sentence was cut short as Tyler took the final step, closing the gap between us and brought his lips to mine. ~~~~~~~~ Tyler is back from college to find out that the girl who once held his heart has a new boyfriend. They haven't been together for four years now, so why can't he convince himself that he's over her? Emily, who is trying to move on with her life, found a new boyfriend after four years of missing Tyler.

However, you don't need to read "Just A Kiss" to read this. This story can be read alone. ****** Wonderful cover made by @yourgirlnana21Complete
Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...
