I had been second best all my life. But this time, when it comes to her, I'm not willing to accept defeat. I'll do whatever it takes to get her to choose me. 

								***
Having a best friend that was wildly popular, and one of the best hockey players in the United American Hockey League, was both a curse and a blessing. On the plus side, I got to play hockey with my best friend, and there was never a shortage of beautiful girls. At least there wasn't until Nash decided to man up and tell his childhood friend that he'd always loved her. 

The bad part was that I usually ended up being second best. 

In my late teens and early twenties I hadn't cared that I wasn't picked in the first round of the draft, or that sponsors chose Nash ahead of me, or even if I ended up with a girl who didn't really want me for me. I made a nice living playing hockey. I had a few good friends and a nice place to live in the middle of Manhattan. Despite not being the best, I'd made most of my dreams come true and it was a far stretch from the lonely kid I'd been growing up in the rural Midwest. 

I was happy. 

I was content. 

Until her....

It's not like I didn't want what Nash had. I did. I do.  Who doesn't want a happily ever after? 

It's just that I've never taken the risk and allowed a woman to see past my defenses before, to see the real me, with my baggage and all my insecurities... until now.

As scary as that is in itself, what makes it complicated is that my new roommate, Jackson - who I offered my spare bedroom to a while back when he needed a place to stay - and Bryce - one of my friends and teammates- also seem to have an interest in her... the woman who has me questioning all my decisions. 

The thing is...  I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to be a second choice this time around...All Rights Reserved

Just Another Love Story by MariaAngelaFV

However, when the two of them meet for the first time, Fiona doesn't know how to react, because she's seen him before, in a photograph that she spent time daydreaming about, thinking what it would be like to meet the goalie and to fall in love. But the difference is now that it's real, she realizes that it's a lot scarier than it was in her head.

My Best friends Ex by jess221199

How would you describe Candice Parker? Well, everyone calls her Candy for starters. But she's not always sweet. She can be manipulative and plain rude sometimes, but I love her anyway, at least... I thought I did. Well anyway, she's as independent as a wild horse and as elegant as one too. All the lads fall head over heels for her but she ends us messing them around anyway, never been able to stick to one boy for over a week and naturally I haven't been able to get one for myself because all the hot ones are either one of her next victims or previous ones. She's as complicated as algebra but as easier to remember than anything else. My bestfriend.... My other best friend is Wesley green. Wes is one of the hottest lads in my school and he doesn't even know it. I think it's what makes him so irresistible to girls, even though he isn't the type to go around screwing every one that sent him a cheeky wink. I've known him since I was 5 and he's always been kind and considerate unlike lots of the lads I know that just want girls for fun, unlike the lads Candy usually pulls. He refuses to date her because he knows exactly what she's like. He walkes me to classes and we go to the cinema and he's a real sweet heart. Do I like him as more than a friend? Urm... No, I wouldn't say so... And then there's me. Where Wes and Candy are popular, I am most definitely not. I am that quiet shy girl that has only one or two friends and enjoys to read and do other things in her spare time but is still awesome enough to do everything a normal teenager does. However, this year took me by surprise, how? Enter Wade, schools quiet hottie who lives alone in the apartment above his parents pub. He's charming and kind and takes Natasha in when she was feeling down. The one problem is... he's one of Candy's ex's. Will he change Tasha's life or will he just be an addition to her small group of friends.

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

How to get him to fall in love | ✔ by imaanjumat

I am no stranger to unrequited love; the yearning for someone to love you back as badly as you love them Unrequited love is passionate, unapologetic and can't be tamed. It's also very tiring, and from time to time hurts Like Hell. If loving someone who could never love you back was a skill, I'd have mastered it Which is why I've made myself this promise that If ever I was in the position to find myself falling in love again, the candidate I've fallen for needs to love me back, needs to want me back And if not..... There's no compromise, I won't break my promise, I won't fall in love if I'm not sure if he could love me back. So if there's a slight possibility that I do fall.....No scratch that He needs to fall in love with me. Amber Lincoln a 22 year old student who has never been in a relationship till present day, aims to change that, soon. Plus minus the fact that she is still working through the trauma of the death of her twin sister, father and the attempted suicide of her mother, an insane sex drive for someone who has never had sex because of standards for men created by the men portrayed in movies and books. And a boy who might possibly never want her, whom she might be infatuated with despite promising herself that she wouldnt fall for someone who didnt undoubtedly want her, so she'll spend her time convincing herself that shes not interested in him At least until she convinces him that she is the ultimate love of his life This definitely feels like Amber's year

Breaking The Ice by ellieruewrites37

When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?" Her lip juts out in an irresistible pout and you'd almost think she was a sweet innocent flower judging by the puppy dog eyes she's flashing me. But that image is little tarnished by the hand she has dipped into my boxers. I can feel my Adams apple bob as I reply. "O-okay. Fine, you win this time." The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.

SMILE ✔︎ by 00Tammy00

I would bet none of you have ever had that dream summer that all of us want.... that summer where you meet a boy on the beach and go surfing even though you don't know how to surf. That summer where you look him in the eyes while he runs his fingers through your hair. That summer where you skateboard along empty streets at sunset and accidentally steal candy from a grocery store. Well... I didn't get that.... but I got pretty close to it. Because for the summer I went to an island in the middle of nowhere so my dad could start up a new one of his businesses in his chain of stores. I went to the beach. And I met Royce... Royce was two years older than me and had the prettiest purplish eyes and blonde hair. He was the most charismatic person I'd ever met. Then shortly after me and Royce's first appearance we met Jack and Koa. It was amazing and I loved every second of it, until I realized that I had fallen for Royce. And he seemed to fall for me too! Until another girl came into the mix 𖣔 "Do you hate me or not Royce?" "I wish I never fucking spoke to you because god I hate you so fucking much for making me love you! It's your fucking fault! Fuck you!" "And do you love her?!" "Way more than I will ever love you." #5 in unrequited 12-3-2020 #2 in tearjerker 3-14-2021 #8 in unrequitedlove 5-15-2021

Sweet Love by o_happiness_o

( Book Two of the Love Series | I don't recommend as a standalone, but can be read as one. I tried my best to provide information that was missed from the other book.) A phrase like 'I love you' is something people don't mean. They don't put their heart into that statement. They don't say it with promise. The looseness in the meaning those four letters held made my heart doubt their commitment. You can love your mom. Love your best friend. Love the way a hot shower feels after a long day. Love a man who cheats on you. So yeah, go ahead and say you love me...See how far that gets you. ~~ Knox's eyes raised to meet mine, "Tell me what you want from me." I breathed heavily as my mind clouded with pleasure. Leaning up a little, I motioned for him to come closer. He obliged as I wrapped an arm around his neck, pressing my forehead to his. He was about to kiss me again, but I gave a soft tug to the side causing him to fall to the bed. A rush of air left him as he lay flat on his back now. Taking advantage of the shock that delayed his response, I tossed my leg over his waist as I settled myself on top of him. Knox sat up a little on his elbows, letting out a groan as I shifted my hips over his. "I want," I leaned down, smiling in satisfaction as he allowed me to press him further into the bed, "For you to sit back and let me use you to get myself off." I was inches from his ear now, "Would you let me do that?" Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a smirk making its way onto his face. Knox raised his hips slightly pulling another moan from me, "Use me for whatever you desire, sweetheart." Sealing it with a kiss to my neck. ~~ Unedited Version.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!
