"Here is your apron, honey. Oh I see you met my boy already."
I nodded but she went through the grand, slow motion gestures anyways, dragging out the vowels in our names as she introduced us.
"Samantha...this is Matteo. Matteo... this is Samantha. I told him all about you and your family last night..."
Thanks, Rita!
"...and he's going to help you learn how to make some of the pastries and cookies this morning and then I thought after lunch perhaps you could be on front of house selling the food?"
"That sounds great."
"Good, I'll leave you in Matteo's capable hands."
Oh his hands certainly seemed capable of a lot of things...
---------------
Samantha entered the Natola Family bakery looking for a job.
Little did she know then that she would be leaving with so much more....

Sticky Sweet
"Chelsea?" That voice was suspiciously familiar. Golden and smooth. Rich and sweet with a satisfying gnaw. Like honey drizzled over a warm piece of perfectly toasted bread. Just charred enough so when you bite into it, it makes that satisfying crunch. The perfect balance of savoury base and sweet topping. But as delicious as honey toast is, if you were clumsy like Chelsea, you were bound to make a mess. Honey can get absolutely everywhere, and wiping it just spreads the chaos further, attracting even more mess. 🍯🍯🍯 Wannabe singer Leon and study-bug Chelsea first met in university. Their relationship was rocky, messy, and with some awkward twists. Feelings ran amok until they abruptly parted ways. Years pass, and suddenly Leon is back. The door that closed to Chelsea has now reopened and she has the opportunity for a second chance. However, this second chance does not come without surprises. And Leon has three of them. ⭕ STATUS: Complete 💬 LANGUAGE: Australian English [en-AU] 🔸 WORD COUNT: TBA // novella 🔸Entry for the 2025 ONC - The Art Of Living | Slice of life | Main prompt: 120 | Side prompt: 111 ⚠️ Recommend ages 18+ Contains much sarcasm, coarse language and spicy scenes.

The Deal
"Promise me," he whispered before he looked at her. His eyes were searching her light brown eyes and was once again lost in the beauty. "Let's make a deal. That we stay together. That we stay a family." She raised an eyebrow at him. "I'm not crazy, Jay. I love you so much and I can't imagine my life without you in it. You have made me and Lara so happy and this is our little family." For a few seconds, the room was silent. Neil heard the clock tick and as each second went, he could have sworn it was slower than than the last. Finally, she smiled, being both her hands behind his head. "As long as you promise to love me like you have then I'm all set," she whispered as she leaned in to kiss him. "So that's a deal then?

Bake It Happen
To save her failing bakery, a small-town baker must fake a televised romance with the All-Star baseball player who broke her heart. -------------- When electrical sparks fly in my failing bakery, I'm forced back to the reality TV show that made me a national laughingstock. Competing while managing my chronic psoriasis flare-ups was traumatizing enough the first time. This time, there's a new twist: my celebrity partner is Brody Hightower, the pro baseball star who shattered my heart the day he was drafted. The boy who left me behind is now the hottest man I've ever seen. I'm not "Brody's girl" anymore, but the heat between us burns hotter than the competition ovens. When our chemistry sends the show's ratings soaring, the producers pitch an offer we can't refuse: fake a televised romance in exchange for a guaranteed spot in the finals. The plan is simple-until a flooded hotel room forces us into the same bed. With the cameras rolling and a secret Brody is desperate to hide, there's more at stake than sweet redemption. My heart back on the chopping block, falling for him again might mean losing more than just the competition. This time, I have to choose: preserve my family's legacy, or finally choose myself. 18+ for mature language and explicit content. Story is complete!Complete
Burdened (Short Story)
I was 16 years old when I found out that it was possible. I was living in an apartment with my boyfriend at that time. He and I took our high school classes online together. I met him when we were 14, just being dumb and clueless. I didn't know that I'll be his girlfriend at the age of 15 or that I was going to live on my own when I'm 16. I was just in my curious 14 year old body trying to get over my new monthly bleeding schedule. He and I wanted to become actors as a career, so we took college classes as well. At age 16, I worked 2 jobs at the mall and he was fixing cars at his father's garage shop. We were happy and in love. During our 16th year of age, we decided to do the big IT. It was amazing since we both took each others' virginity and luckily knew how to use condoms. It was impossible to stop. We did it non-stop, but that ended quickly when I stepped out of the bathroom with tears in my eyes. I was pregnant with Matthew Connor's baby. And I wasn't ready. Trailer inside and I dedicate ParisLove- for the amazing trailer and she will be doing all my trailers for my other books too.Complete
Sugar High
I have always been a planner. Never the girl to leap before look at the drop. The type to have a plan and then a back up plan for that first one. However, when I stormed up the stairs of Daniel's house ready to give him an earful I didn't have a plan. I didn't have a plan for what to do when he wasn't sitting at his corner desk. I didn't plan on going over to that desk and looking through his things. I didn't plan on opening up his science textbook. Didn't plan on seeing the large cut out in the center of all the pages. Didn't plan on switching out the white powdery drugs for the sugar from fake sugar baby that we got for health class. That is my story and I plan on sticking with it. However, the mafia chasing after me might not understand that it was all a tiny misunderstanding. Warnings: Violence and DrugsComplete
