vellichorist - a person with a strange wistfulness of used bookstores, which are somehow infused with the passage of time
Phoebe loves used bookshops, a passion she inherited from her late mother. One day she bumps into a guy outside her favorite bookshop. As she starts apologising he cuts her off and starting bitching. She may not have known what crawled up his ass and died but she is still pretty pissed to say the least.
Cole is having a bad day. Getting fired and dragged off the premises isn't really on the top of anyone's wish list. When he bumps into a random girl, he snaps even though he knows that his day is no excuse for treating her like shit. He wasn't expecting to see her again so his pride gets in the way and he 'forgets' to apologise before hurrying away.
When Phoebe and Cole show up for their best friends' wedding it's hard to tell who is more surprised. Only one thing is clear; their blatant dislike for one another can't get in the way of their friends' happy day, even if it meant enduring multiple hellish rehearsals and walking down the aisle together as the maid of honor and best man.

Ares
• MATURE STORY • Sydney couldn't help but give her best friend curious eyes after that encounter, watching the stunning man walk away from the corner of her eyes. She saw how he stopped to stare at her best friend. "Care to explain?" she asked, a small smile beginning to erupt. "We're just friends, barely friends even." Grace told Sydney. "But 'just friends' don't look at each other like that, Grace." ♡♡♡♡♡ Grace Sinclair is a sweet, gentle, florist. She owns her own little flower boutique named 'Daisy-Chains'. Ares is the War of God, he's the James Dean of Olympus, angry eyes and deliciously sinful. Zeus, his father, has had enough, demanding for Ares to start acting like the God that he is, Zeus demands marriage, preferably with Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. Ares decides to pull a classic move on the day of his wedding, 'the run away Groom'. He soon finds himself down on earth in a small little flower store where he meets the temptress he had no idea he'd been waiting for. Grace knows Ares is devastatingly handsome, charming and confident. He is also a conceited, hedonistic playboy, who knows no boundaries. Grace desperately does not want to be attracted to him, but she can't control the overwhelming effect he has on her. Every instinct is telling her to run, to protect herself, so she does, but Ares is not so willing to let her go. He wants her and is determined to have her. She knows she's heading for heartbreak, but how can she run when he won't let her? ♡♡♡♡♡ "I'm going to ruin you. I"ll be your first, and I'll fuck you so thoroughly that I'll be your last, too. You won't want any other man after I've gotten my hands on you. Every last inch of you. You're mine." "I hate you!" she screamed, her eyes lighten with a fierce rage, tears streaming down her face, her fists throwing themselves at his chest repeatedly. "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you." she cried. "S'agapo." he whispered, gently wiping her tears away.Concluida

That's not a good start for a relationship." She said watching him for his reaction. "Who says there's a certain way to start a relationship? I understand that family comes first, even education. But if I could see or talk to you for an hour at least, I'll be fine with that." She was still unsure, "I still don't know.. why me though?" "Cause I want you. I claimed you the moment I saw you." "I'm not an object." "You're not, but believe me beautiful when I say you're mine. And I always get what I want." * Same thing as my other stories, there is very heavy sexual tension and content. I don't drag out feelings for two people who care for each other. This is a fictional story so some info may not be accurate. Enjoy!Concluida
