Wattys winner

In the late nineties asexuality is all but ignored as an orientation. Jess doesn't understand her complex array of emotions or why she finds it so hard to relate to her fellow classmates. Catholic high schools and churches simply don't address the issue, and the internet is still nascent. 

Jess can't tell anyone the truth. Not even her best friend Care. Instead, she hides behind the guise of faith. Behind a mask of celibacy.


Until she meets Eric, that is. He lets slip that he's asexual, and Jess wants to learn more.

[WATTYS WINNER 2022] What's it like to have everything you ever wanted? To be utterly, ridiculously, completely HAPPY? Pretty worrying, actually. *** In this Watty Winning (!!) standalone sequel to "All Good Things", we visit Alice, her family and friends at the All Good Things cafe. A lot has changed in 5 years. Her marriage is back on track and steamier than ever... at least when there isn't a kid within earshot. Fortunately, the youngest is in the smelly grip of puberty himself and just wants to be alone. Their daughter, the entrepreneurial prodigy, went off to university only to return disillusioned by life, love and Kierkegaard. Good thing the cafe is still afloat... just about. It's hard to make ends meet when you're trying to change the world, one plant-based latte at a time! Just as things are starting to look a little dire, Alice becomes an unwitting TikTok sensation and kids all over the city start copying her moves. Now, a corporate chain wants a piece of the action and Alice will have to decide whether she can stomach a return to the soul-suck of corporate life in order to keep her dream alive.

Josh Parker was the all American boy who all the girls wanted, including Katie. As Katie and Josh's friendship blossomed she quickly formed a crush on Josh, but as the years progressed, her crush turned into love. Five years after leaving Miami brokenhearted after finding out about Josh's engagement to his childhood sweetheart. Katie unexpectedly reunites with her former best friend, and Josh quickly realizes that his feelings for her are not just platonic anymore. * As I'm walking out of work I get a call from my brother to pick my niece up from school. For the past 4 years that little girl has had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic on the way over so I'm late for pick up. Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool. As soon as I looked into those Caribbean blue that I used to know so well, I knew it was her. It takes her a few seconds to realize who I am. She stands there stunned. We continue to stare at each other until she breaks the silence. "Josh?" She asks not believing it's actually me. "Hey Katie girl."

Her by cianafaven

Phoenix LeFlore: She is alive. Her brother is dead. People are moving forward. She is standing still. He was everything. Now she has nothing. Aza Ainsworth: She is a soft girl who acts tough. She is a warm girl who was treated coldly. Someone made her heart beat faster, then broke it. Can a broken heart help a broken soul? _____ Girl meets girl. Girl doesn't like girl. Then girl likes girl. Could she like her back? Two girls. One story. _____ "I like: The soft side underneath her tough side. Her mind. Her wit. Her cute awkwardness. The way she bites her nails. The way she dresses, like a 90s character, like someone in a movie. The way she smells, like mint, spicy but sweet, like her personality. Her green, serious, sexy eyes. Her laugh. Her name. Her hand in my hand. The stars on her face. The X on the back of her neck. I want to make her laugh all day, want to say her name, whisper it, scream it. Phoenix. I want to hold her hand, want to kiss all the stars on her face, and want to cherish the X on the back of her neck. I want to cherish her. I don't like: Phoenix."

The Hookup (Book #1) by LaylaJ2711

***COMPLETE*** Book #1 in the Hookup series "You're incredibly sexy Emily" I feel sexy, especially when he's looking at me like that. I could melt into a puddle right here from the way his body is pressed so close to mine and the way his eyes are taking me in. "Hunter," I say in warning as his hand snakes further up my thigh. "Tell me to stop and I'll stop," He says as he pulls me down and nuzzles my hair. "But just remember this is a one-time thing and nobody has to find out about it if you don't want them to." By nobody I know he means Tara. She would literally disown me if she ever found out something had happened between me and one of her brothers. It's girl code, right? You can't sleep with or have any sexual relations with relatives, exes or anyone that your best friend deems unfit.
