Just one encounter can change a person's life, altering it in a thousand different ways. The little coincidences and small miracles that have to occur for this to happen, can only be described as magic. That, or destiny. You know, the romanticized destiny where stars have to align just right, sealing the deal with fate. Bullshit. 

Callie Haring doesn't believe everything happens for a reason. In fact, hearing that too-often spoken expression causes an involuntary eye roll. Nonetheless, Callie has lived her entire life never believing in it, knowing nothing could ever change her mind. Little does she know, her normal life of busting tables at her aunt's cafe as a 22 year-old college student, is about to take an unexpected turn. She's left wondering if meeting him can be be pinned down to a stupid chance encounter or an act of fate. After all, he isn't just a regular customer. His face is plastered on practically every billboard sign in San Diego.

Follow Callie's journey of discovery, hope, doubt, romance and maybe just a little bit of fate. Who knows, maybe every person has an unfinished story, as they unknowingly wait for a certain miracle to walk into their lives.Tutti i diritti riservati

Coffee Stains on my Heart [WIP] di WearyTeen34

"Not the best story, but it certainly has charm." - Myself In the relentless pace of New York City, Liam, an overworked and nihilistic young barista at Starbucks, finds an unexpected spark in the monotony of brewing lattes. His bleak worldview is challenged when he encounters Lucia, a vibrant soul unafraid to embrace life's uncertainties. Unbeknownst to Liam, Lucia is grappling with a secret battle against cancer, choosing to shield him from the harsh reality of her illness. Their romance unfolds against the backdrop of clinking coffee cups and the constant hum of the city that never sleeps. In the anonymity of Starbucks aprons, Liam and Lucia's connection becomes a refuge from the cold indifference of their individual struggles. Lucia's zest for life becomes a counterpoint to Liam's nihilism, creating a delicate balance that neither expected. As they explore the city's hidden gems, from tucked-away bookstores to cozy jazz clubs, Lucia's health begins to deteriorate. Liam, entrenched in his apathetic worldview, is unaware of the storm brewing within their shared moments. When the truth surfaces, their love is put to the ultimate test. Will Liam finally realize to appreciate beauty in life, or will this event just further push him into deeper distaste for the world?

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul di gemmalanebooks

[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...
