The coffee shop, called The Music Haven, had a rustic interior design. The place used to be a nightclub, so it had a few bar counters. But fortunately, the owner changed it up to different spots where the baristas could operate comfortably and efficiently.
The true highlight, however, was the piano in the middle of the room. It was old but refurbished and very well taken care of. It's been through some great melodies some nights and other nights, well, let's just say that other people tried. The piano was open to the public, but Thursday nights were the biggest nights. Musicians from all over the city would be invited over to play cover songs or their very own. Not to mention a few celebrities come over to play also. The walls had pictures of great artists like Ray Charles, Bruno Mars, John Legend, etc.
But this story will be focused on two ordinary people that come to this place to find something even better other than great music and delicious coffee.

A little bit of chaos
Aira's life revolves around melodies, rehearsals, and late-night songwriting sessions with her best friends. As a passionate music student, she finds comfort in rhythms and lyrics-things that make sense, things that she can control. But then there's Shein. He's quiet, reserved, and always sitting in the corner of the café, sketchbook in hand, lost in a world of his own. He doesn't talk much, doesn't seem interested in the noise of the campus, and yet... Aira finds herself drawn to him. Maybe it's curiosity. Maybe it's the way his pencil moves effortlessly across the pages. Maybe it's the way he never looks up-until the one day he does. Aira never thought a single bump-literally-could lead to stolen glances, unexpected coffee bribes, and conversations that start with sarcasm but somehow end with lingering warmth. But love? Love was never part of the plan. Yet, between late-night melodies, rain-soaked confessions, and a little bit of jealousy, maybe love was composing its own song. And Aira? She was about to learn that sometimes, the best music comes from the most unexpected chaos.
Nostalgia 𖹭 Joost Klein x Reader
Nostalgia - a feeling of pleasure and sometimes slight sadness at the same time as you think about things that happened in the past. ˙✧˖°📷 ༘ ⋆｡˚ You're in the middle of another busy shift at the coffee shop, the familiar hum of the espresso machine blending with the background music. As you prepare a latte, a song comes on that makes you pause. The lyrics are raw, the beat infectious, and there's something about the voice that feels oddly familiar. Curious, you ask a co-worker who the artist is. "Joost Klein." they reply casually, and the name hits you like a bolt of lightning. Joost Klein-could it really be him? The same Joost Klein who used to sit next to you in school, the quiet kid with big dreams and a notebook full of scribbles? The one you lost touch with years ago? Suddenly, memories flood back, and you're filled with a mix of nostalgia and curiosity. The music resonates with you on a level you didn't expect, and before you know it, you're determined to track down your old friend-the one who's now a rising star in the Dutch rap scene. But reconnecting after all these years won't be easy. Fame has a way of changing people, and you wonder if Joost is still the same person you remember, or if he's become someone entirely different. As you set out on this unexpected journey, you can't help but wonder where it will lead-and what you'll discover about both Joost and yourself.
Astrid
Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me. "Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?" "You know who." "Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged. She went through something traumatic at only 14, but no one noticed. She moved to Roseville for a fresh start with her best friend Kaitlyn by her side. But Carter notices. He was a "bad boy" with a heart of gold (ik it's cliché) . He never let anything slip by him. He doesn't say anything as their personalities clash and they hate each other. You know what they say, there is a thin line between love and hate. Will these two step over the line? But sometimes, running away from your problems doesn't go down unnoticed. The very person Astrid ran away from is after her, and this time, the consequences will be worse. -- This is an enemies-friends-lovers book and they become friends early on because I find it difficult to write going from enemies to lovers so yeah. *unedited book* #1 in talent show (29/02/24)Complete

Love with strings detached
I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on.

Loving the Enemy
Dear Olive, I hate you. I hate that you were born and that your human and have a face. I hate that you live next door to me and I hate that I can't sleep at night because the thought of you has forever left a vivid image creased in the back of my mind. And most of all, I hate that you hate me. Hate, Everest Since the first grade when Olivia Kingston and her family moved in right across the street from Kyle Everest, he had believed to have instantly hated her. (At least thats how he tells the story) And maybe it was just because of the mere fact of her existence, or maybe it was that time she ate the last fruit snack at lunch, or let's not forget, in fifth grade she stole his partner in crime, being his twin sister Madeline. Now being 17 years old Kyle Everest still holds this unknown resentment against his next door neighbor Olivia Kingston, and torches her in any possible way he can, but what would happen when Olivia finally gets sick of letting Kyle torcher her unexplainably? Everything would change in the matter of one day when Olivia accidentally gets them both locked in the principals office in search of the same thing: The truth. But while staying together in a cramped room with no phones and surviving off nothing but the secret stash of their principal, while the entire schools is off on spring break, secrets will be told and feeling will unravel. And let's not forget, hate letters will be sent. This book may seem light and fun but it has some mature scenes and dark thoughts that I'd suggest for viewers 16+Complete
