Carmel walked into Swindon Books looking for nothing more than an iced mocha, and left wanting a girl.
Carmel was somewhat of a hopeless romantic, and frankly, everyone knew it. So when she said that she'd fallen in love at first sight, nobody really took her too seriously. Despite that, Carmel continued to pursue the girl anyway, determined to have the winter romance she'd always wanted. A relationship right before the holidays was her plan all along, and so what was the harm in pursuing a cute girl at a coffee shop?

Coffee
I watch her when she walks in, orders the same drink - same size - and sits at the exact same table every single day. I don't think she notices me, seeing as how I'm behind the counter and I'm not the one at the register. But on December 19th, she looked up from her laptop and cup, into my eyes, and smiled. Before the start of senior year, Parker Harding was a closeted lesbian. After the homecoming dance, she was out and she was an outcast. She just had three little problems. Finding a girlfriend to get over her ex and keeping her economics grade up were two of them. The third being her crush on a very straight girl at her high school, the same one that sat in the coffee shop every single day.

BOND BY FLAMES:/ BILLIE EILISH
"You can fall in love again, Billie. I don't mind. I want you happy." She lifts my chin so our eyes meet. "I don't wanna fall in love again," I whisper, my voice shaking. "Why?" she breathes, eyes searching mine. I stay quiet for a moment. Then finally, softly: "Because you still love me," I say. "And I see it, B. Don't deny it." I take her hands gently. She drops her gaze, and a tear falls straight onto my fingers. "Just admit you still love me," I whisper again. "Billie... this isn't about me. It's about you. I want you to move on and let someone love you." "No," I whisper. She shakes her head quickly. "I don't deserve you." "Why? 'Cause I'm famous?" I ask. She lets out a shaky laugh. "I've dated the famous you." "'Cause I'm weak?" I ask again. She grabs my hand tighter, pulling it onto her lap. "Hey, no... you-" She stops, breathing hard, eyes locked on mine. "I'm just... I'm fucked up, Billie. You have no idea." Her voice cracks. "I'm a bad person. I killed. I robbed. I betrayed you-" "You never betrayed me," I cut her off immediately. She shakes her head like she can't even hear me. "I wouldn't want someone I love to date someone like me. I'm scary." "I'm scary," she repeats, quieter... like she's confessing something poisonous. Like she's warning me. Like she honestly thinks I should run. But I don't move. I don't even blink. "Then why," I whisper, leaning in just slightly, "why do I feel safer with you than with anyone else?" --- *********** a/n: Hey y'all - English isn't my first language, so sorry in advance for any grammar mistakes.

Soft bites // lesbian story GxG
"I told you, Serena..." she whispered, her voice shaking. "This is dangerous. You don't know what you're doing." "I don't care." I replied, my voice barely audible, but it was the truth. "I don't care about anything but this. About you. I don't want to let you go." For a long moment, she just stood there, her eyes locked with mine. I could see the conflict in her gaze - the fear, the doubt, the undeniable pull between us that neither of us could ignore.

"Forget about what we should or shouldn't be doing. Do you want this?" I ask and she just silently looks up at me. I lean in and kiss her before I rest my forehead on hers. "Jenny, do you want this?" I whisper. "Do you want me?" She just silently looks at me for a moment. Her beautiful hazel eyes slowly drift down and look at my lips for a second before she brings them back to mine. "Yes. Yes, I do," she says quietly and I smile a little. "Well, you have me. Now are you going to do something about it?"

Jungle Love and Lost (gxg)
Mira and Hana have each arrived in Caracas Venezuela from opposite sides of the planet. They're both hoping for a nice vacation and escape from the realities of life for a bit. A chance meeting in a club draws them together, and a mutual attraction is quickly discovered. When fate brings danger to their lives, can they fight together to stay alive and survive the jungle and the people who want to exploit them? And even if they can survive, what does the future hold for them when escaping still means saying goodbye to the person you have grown so close to over your adventure? This book was cowritten by the marvelous @Jo_Blackheart who did all of Hana's chapters, while I did Mira's. The book is published on both of our profiles, and I'm betting the only difference will be some author's notes. You should absolutely check out her work (if you haven't already)! If you're looking for more gxg books, there are several here on this profile, so by all means go check out: The Inner Ring (Mature) A Rock and a Heart Place (Mature) To Those Who Wait (Mature) Full Circle (Not Mature) Dead Men's Bells (Mature)Complete![Second Chances [Lesbian]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/245483777-256-k116206.jpg)
Second Chances [Lesbian]
I let out a soft Mmm and instantly opened my eyes to see her looking at me with her head slightly tilted to the side and an amused smile playing on her lips. "Do you always have that reaction to things that taste good?" The possibility of a double meaning to her question wasn't lost on me and it surprised me, making me cough. I cleared my throat before answering. "Well, it depends.." I answered carefully. "On what?" She leaned forward slightly with what looked like an almost mischievous glint in her eyes. "On what I'm eating," I fired back sounding a lot more confident than I felt. Her eyebrows went up slightly. *** When Ren stumbles upon a job opportunity, she never thinks that it'll completely change her life. Meeting Cameron offers her something she thought she'd never get.. a second chance. Little does she know that it will also mean finally finding herself.

Like Bees to Honey | gxg
When a laid back and rudely gorgeous city girl comes for her farmer's market crown, Sabina's dream of joining the family honey business is threatened - and her heart may just get stung too. *** Now that she's graduated high school, Sabina is ready to join her family's honey business, but her parents are convinced that there's no future for her in her small town. They're set on sending her to university, which she knows will be less fun than getting swarmed by angry bees. To prove that her place is on the honey farm, Sabina plans to impress her parents by winning the Best Vendor prize at the summer farmer's market. Her quest for the sweet prize gets sticky when a pretty city girl steals her table at the market and doesn't even feel bad about it. Mel's family has been the enemy of Sabina's for generations, and now this otherwise easygoing girl seems determined to continue the feud by beating Sabina to the Best Vendor prize. The competition would be no problem for Sabina... if Mel wasn't also gorgeous and maybe even a little funny. Sabina didn't plan for feelings, and if she gives in to the temptation she may lose her honey farm dreams. But Mel's love might be the one thing sweeter than honey, if she can avoid the sting. *** Complete at 82k words. *featured on Wattpad's Cottagecore Cute and A Latte Love reading lists*Complete
