A dating app. A psychotic best friend. A chanced encounter.
Add them together and throw yourself and a stranger into the mix. What more could go right?
With a record of being single for 20 years, no future set for myself, and two digits in my bank account, I thought I was doomed for life.
Like I said, that's what I thought. When you least expect it, life tends to surprise you in many astonishing ways. Sometimes, even in the form of people.
If you're lucky enough, one person might just be enough.
My name is Bella Kim and this is my story.

Trapped In Love ✓
"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*Complete

That is, until it's being questioned by a boy from her past. ••• I smirk at Larkin, but he only flicks an eyebrow up at me in challenge. Damn it, why is he so confident?

You Like Me?! | ✓
"So, let me get this straight," I looked at him weirdly, raising my hands slightly in exclamation. "You like me?!" I asked him in disbelief. "Like or like-like?" I really can't get my head to process his words at the moment. "Is it weird that I don't." He simply replied, his voice sounded calm but serious at the same time. "And for your question, I do. I do like-like you. Like, I really like you. To the point that you're the only thing that's on my mind everyday and I can't seem to get you off it." I was literally standing there like an idiot, slowing blinking my eyes in a slow pace, still can't believe what's actually happening in front of me. ______________________________ ( Partially Edited.)

Just kiss me
I hate him. He hates me. There's nothing more to it. There's no chemistry between us, we don't secretly love eachother and there's no way we are going to end up dating eachother. This isn't some story on wattpad where the guy and the girl end up liking eachother when they hated eachother all this time. That dosn't even happen in reality. We just hate eachother period. But then just a silly mistake lead to another and now here I am. Tangled up into one huge mess. But now I'm in a mess where I can just tell him to just kiss me.Complete

Circles | ✔️

It's been years since we last spoke- he drives me crazy, in ways no one else has. Being back home and reunited with old friends, was about to get messy. ~ "Morning sleeping beauty," He drawled, leaning against the counter mixing his protein shake vigorously. "Well then you must be the beast and not the prince." I retorted, rummaging through the pantry for some granola I could have with greek yoghurt. "Yeah," he shrugged. I put my bowl and ingredients on the table and frowned. Did... he... just agree with me? "In the gym, in the office... and definitely in bed," he winked. Oh. There it was. He's so full of himself. I rolled my eyes, proceeding to make myself breakfast. It's too early for this. ~ Follow along as two individuals encounter each other once again as adults, whilst their teenage histories shadow over them with every step.

Nothing to lose
My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink. Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't. Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what. Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?Complete
That's Right We Are Teens!!!
We believe in pink. We believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. We believe in kissing, kissing a lot. We believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. We believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. We believe that tomorrow is another day and we believe in miracles ~ Audrey Hepburn. Yes, we're girls. Not average teen girls or clichéd teen girls... just teen girls. Simple and short. We go through way more problems than your average teen girl and those problems are way more real and practical than that of your clichéd teen girl. We're just teen girls. Peace. I'm Char. I'm Nicole. I'm Amanda. And I'm Claire and this, is the story of our lives. No, we aren't gonna search for quotes implying we're guys. Wanna know why? Either yes or no, to be honest neither of us know why. All you need to know is that we're teenagers with a clichédly dramatic life. Not a cliché... Just clichédly dramatic. I'm Eric. And I'm Chris. Peace. Darn it, they said that already? So... Uh... Love ya, xoxo. P.S THAT SOUNDS SO WRONG. WE'RE NEVER SAYING IT AGAIN!Complete
