❝And now you're just a stranger; with all of my secrets.❞
Emryn Grace has always been late, and consequently, she misses her connecting flight back to LA. Aiden Mendes has always seen things in monochrome, but when he crosses paths with Emryn at an airport, the world through his glasses begins to gain some color.
One missed connecting flight. Two young strangers. A storm.
No 'butterflies' or 'time stopped when their eyes met'. Just burning annoyance towards her simmering down his back every five minutes and his cold demeanor and 'ironic' eyes, piercing through her own walls.
But add in a wild game of twenty-one questions and bold moves, their story might not be so black and white anymore.

It Just Kind Of Happened
The best adventures are never planned. A cancelled flight leaves those waiting for it with more than they bargained for, which proves that fate can sometimes creep into life when it is least expected. Four strangers meet in an airport and together they embark on the trip of a lifetime. Follow them on their journey as they learn that you can discover new things about yourself when new people come to show you traits that had been there all along. However, the journey isn't always easygoing; you may get lost and confused along the way but once you're there...it feels really great. And, when people ask you how, you can tell them: it just kind of happened. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It Just Kind of Happened is a very endearing story of how four different people discover more of themselves as much as they discover much from each other. The author, @TheAlienator, perfectly crafted a charming chemistry between characters. Chemistry that you can rarely read in books; chemistry that has more meaning into it. A very commendable, and unutterably lovable read!" - @FernRisher "A part of you screams John Green. That's how fluid this. Like what. So fluid. The internal dialogue inside their heads is just mental candy for me; it's kinda crazy." - @Sxilenced "Well this was quite different and a very fun read! Your characters are all very distinct and fun, and you have a good narrative voice for each one." - @solacing amazing summary by the amazing @WishesOnStars <-- she's a lifesaver, really XDComplete![Wrong Number [18+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/206537994-256-k266413.jpg)
Wrong Number [18+]
Against my better judgment, I answer, "Look I told you, you have the wrong number," I say a bit too harshly. "I wish I was the girl you were looking for but I'm not." "You do, huh?" His husky voice fills my ear again and I shiver. What the hell is he going on about? "What are you talking about?" I ask confused. "That you wish you were the girl I was looking for," he says amused. I groan remembering exactly what I said and palm my face, "I said that huh?" "Uh huh!" *** Fallon Mathews is a waitress who works entirely too hard and too much. She is pretty, smart, and not shy. Alexander Grant is the owner of one of the hottest clubs around- which just so happens to be the same club that Fallon likes to go to in her free time. Oh did I also mention that he is the son of a well-known CEO? A billionaire? No!? Well, he is. He isn't a player, but he does sleep around a lot. After all, he is single. What happens after he is given the wrong number that just so happens to be, Fallon's? Love, friendship, heartache, drama, and tragedy all in one! **WARNING** There most likely will be lots of errors!
