Your twenties- a time for freedom, exploration, fun, and wild experimentation, right?
Molly is twenty six, working in a café with no idea where her life is headed, and unable to choose where she wants it to head either. She's burnt out of a life that she's barely even lived, and freaked out over the prospect of making a real decision.
Tiff, at twenty three, is a good friend who's sarcastic and loyal, and will silently squee over every cute thing she sees. She's attending college for a subject that she doesn't care about after failing to even start her dream, and now overworks herself and struggles from low self confidence.
Serena is twenty eight, and is sweet and beautiful, everything you'd want to be but with crippling anxiety. She's a therapist who has found herself after struggling with her gender identity, but still doesn't understand what it means to be a professional in a true adult world.
Hang out with these burn-outs for a while. We'll order ramen and watch horror movies and maybe cry a little bit.

[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.

[COMPLETE] They say weddings are eventful, to say the least. Anything could happen. What I didn't expect however, was him. My mistake. 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.

Only You
"Oh my gosh, you scared me." Nick looked her up and down. She was in nothing but an oversized t-shirt and underwear. A bra was lacking too, revealing the natural shape of her breasts. "I thought you went to sleep," she said and casually dropped the towel to cover her thighs. "I needed a glass of water." He was looking at her face. He was forcing himself to not move his eyes lower than her chin. "Oh." Awkward silence fell between them. "So, eventful night," Nick continued. "Two feasts, one engagement." "Definitely. It's crazy. I told you though, didn't I?" "You did mention you thought he was going to propose soon." "Yeah," she half-smiled. "I'm so happy for them; they're perfect for each other." "Yeah. They are," he stated. "Well, good night, Nick. Again," she laughed lightly. "I'll see you in the morning." "Good night, Mols." She awkwardly walked to her room as she could not casually cover her backside with the towel. He tried hard not to look but temptation got the better of him. ****** Molly and Nick have been best friends since childhood. Each developed feelings for the other over the years, but each is also convinced that the other just wants to be friends. Will things change at the end of college, before Molly goes away for a year?
