awards catfish chicklit cute dates italian novella onc2022 restaurant romance tinder

Annabelle hadn't wanted to burn the restaurant down initially. 

In all honesty, she had been in a good mood. The food smelled great, the weather was perfect, and the boy she had met on Tinder looked like an absolute snack in all his pictures. 

But then, he rocked up to the date half an hour late, without an apology. Worse yet, he didn't look anything like his Tinder photos. 

In fact, he looked old enough to be her uncle. 

Still, she has to admit that, while her date sucks, the food is tasty. Plus, the waiter is also pretty cute. 

Besides, when that same waiter offers her a hand in serving some revenge to her catfishing date, Annabelle just can't say no. 

Does this charming waiter spell trouble? Possibly. 

But, surely, once revenge is served cold, there is always room for dessert, hey?All Rights Reserved

It Began In Italy | ✔️ by moonlighttkisscs

One last trip with her family before she goes to University. Her intentions for this trip were to spend every minute making memories and savouring the last moments she'd get with her family before she moved away. She did this, just not with who she had planned. In the Italian sun it's easy to make rash decisions and to have a lapse in judgement. Especially when a man, you've only just met, comes into play. When he's showing you the island and teaching you Italian, how can you not fall madly in love? With three weeks to spend, will she let herself fall head over heels for a guy she will most likely never see again, or will she stick with her former plan and come to her senses?

Cross Roads by Growling_moon

ONC Prompt 76- You show up for a date to discover you've been catfished. You are hungry, though, and decide to go ahead with dinner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie Lovejoy's first date does not turn out to be exactly as she had hoped for. In fact, her date Sam, does not turn out to be who she had hoped him to be. Photos in dating profiles really does not do justice and this is certainly true for Sam, Katie's date for the evening. What happens when a girl already running low on good lucks, gets catfished after putting herself out there after so long? And what happens when you mix in good food, nosy restaurant staff, and an anxious, concerned but superstitious best friend? Follow Katie to find out if this is a recipe for disaster or if something good will come out of this chaos. Disclaimer: All characters and places mentioned in this story are fictional. Any resemblance to real person, living or dead, and real places are purely coincidental.

Red Lilac by iletomichelle

After five years and a thousand regrets, two old lovers meet again.. "What kind of stunt are you pulling out this time?" I see his eyes blaze in blue fire. And I think I saw regret flash, too, before he blinks it gone. "I am going to win you back." he states as if those are the most natural thing in the world. As if it was as easy as ABC. He went behind his table and sits like a king. He looks at me from head to toe. Did I just saw love in those eyes? But it's too quick; I even thought I only imagined it. "And do you think, buying the company I am working at will help you with your fucking mission on Earth?" I snap taking two steps forward. He stands up, and put both of his hands in the table and lean his body closer to me, putting his weight on his palms. So close, I can even smell his cologne that mixed so naturally with his aftershave. It reminds me of summer. Of him. Of the love we'd shared.

He's not Fictional ✓ by FeistyFairy17

"But seriously, why won't you go on a date with me? Just one date, come on." "The question is why would I ever want to go on a date with you?" I muttered in barely suppressed annoyance. He shrugged as if the reason was obvious. "Well that's easy. I'm good looking, cute, smart," he listed. "Funny, and did I mention hot?" "Cocky too." I piped in, earning a frown him. "Tell me one good reason for you to not like me." He said firmly. "For a start, you are a blackmailer." I stated accusingly, narrowing my eyes in his direction and pointing a finger at him. "And most importantly, you are not fictional." ........ Warning: Contains mentioning of some dark themes like domestic violence and child abuse. Edit. Completed.

Shattered Sympathy by Uraunde

After getting arrested at an illegal drug party, Tin has been recalled to Thailand, and put under his brother's merciless supervision. When Tul forces him to bring a date to a fancy gala dinner, Tin tells him angrily that he will bring the first person who walks through the door at the IC building. That person turns out to be a football player who just crashed a window in the IC building by accident. This is a one shot fic (that still ended up with 7 chapters) that I wrote because it was too hot outside to concentrate of my multi-chapter fics. It is a bit angstier than my other fics - but it won't have a sad ending, promise. (No sad endings for Tin and Can!) It started out with the realisation that I have seen a lot of fake dating fics where it gets later revealed that for at least one of the people involved it had never been fake. So, this is an exercise on how it could have gone if Tin and Can really went on a fake date as pure strangers.

Broken Girls And Broken Boys by amberrosie05

C O M P L E T E D "Date me," he spins the whiskey around in the glass and fixes me with a smirk. I roll my eyes the moment the words roll off his tongue. "Are you really that desperate?" I scoff in response, fighting back the ever prominent blush. His smirk widens as my face flushes red and he leans over the countertop towards me. I step back. "Name your price," he replies, his words cool and smooth like ice cream. Only I would reference food at a moment like this. Anger rolls around in the pit of my stomach; I may not have money but I have morals. "You can't buy people, Grant," The words fall out of my mouth and he recoils as if slapped. I'm glad. Stupid rich boy and his player ways. "Bet I can," I resist the urge to slap the smug look of his face and scoff again. "Right," I drag out the word, rolling my eyes. I step away from the counter and turn my back on him, desperate to leave. But he speaks again. "Date me. Two months. If you fall for me for my money, I win. If I fall for you for who you really are, you win." I consider this for a moment. I have nothing to loose and really not much to gain. But I'm so desperate to put the asshole in his place that I can't resist. I'm a sucker for a bet. "Deal."

I decided to explore a little and found a room that had a beautiful black bed. It was very masculine, but the smell gave me butterflies. I approached the curtains on the large and long windows and gently touched them. "May I help you?" a tall figure asked with his hands In his pockets. I quickly turned around and was shocked at the sight I was seeing. It was the man with beautiful brown eyes. "No, I'm sorry, I just liked the way your room looked," I told him with a slight smile. ₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

Recipe for Love by SmlAlwaysOriginal

Book 2 of the Chimera Trilogy He wasn't really looking for it but when love shows up he has to decide whether he'll accept it or not. New connections, old ties, and surprising revelations are ingredients for lasting love or for instructions to a charred heart. Ecerpt: Mike was tall like Alex, slim like him, had the same blue eyes and black hair. I could only conclude that my brain was looking elsewhere for an Alex substitute. That was not flattering to myself or fair to him. It was easier I guess to pick a fight then actually let myself like him. His eyes flipped to mine again. That eyebrow went up and he smirked. Now he was laughing at me. I straightened and turned to lean against the pole with my back to him. Maybe it was time to find a nice girl to date. The trouble was I hadn't been interested in anyone enough to want to go on a date, and I wasn't the kind to do one night stands. My eyes flipped to Alex. He was smiling and laughing at something Tyler was saying. I was happy for him but if I really let it be felt, I was jealous, a little that Tyler got him and I didn't, but I think it was more that they were together and happy and I had no one. I'd finally hit that age I wanted family and children. "Here." A plate appeared in front of me. I looked around and saw Mike holding it out. "What's this?" "That's commonly known as food. You eat it. I've noticed you favor the mushroom soup, stuffing with gravy and corn on the cob. Here you go." I took the plate. Why on earth had he not only noticed what I ate but brought me a plate of it.

My Lill Vixen(Part 1 Of D Angelo's Series) by belissima966

✨ Under edit mode - Vixen's getting her glow-up💅💕✨ ~ She lives in a delusional world-reading books and waiting for a man like Zade Meadows or Rhys Larsen to rescue her from the demons of her past. A prickly wall guards her once-wounded heart. She doesn't believe in love-or maybe she just doesn't believe in real-life love anymore. Smart. Sassy. Fearless. She'd rather die than be controlled. They call her feisty, but no one knows what lies beneath that venomous fire... except him. He's ruled demons since childhood-who knew he could overrule hers too? Born into power, he commands empires: companies, hotels, clubs, restaurants... and an illegal empire that stretches far beyond. The ruler of The Great Vipera Empire, he didn't just inherit his throne-he built it higher Their paths cross through an arranged agreement Not a contract. Not a cliché Something far greater. Who knew she'd find a new version of herself-and his hand waiting when she finally rewrites the meaning of home. Fair warning-this story drips with spice, tension, and slow-burn chaos. You've been warned. No instant fireworks , just a flame that builds until it's unstoppable🔥 A slowburn romance worth your time - give it a chance, dear readers. From one book lover to another. ~ "Stop smacking my chest, cara mia, or I swear I'll drop you right here." I nod toward the stairs, jaw tight. She giggles - soft, reckless, addictive. Those damn giggles... my oxygen. "Then I'll hold your collar and drag you down with me," she fires back, eyes daring me to move. I lean in, my breath brushing her ear. "Hmm, I've got better plans for you grabbing me by the collar, bella." Her eyes flicker - surprise, heat - before she smirks. "Sure, honey. Be good, and I might give you a treat." Her hand slips into my hair, tugging just enough to test me. I narrow my eyes, a low chuckle rumbling in my chest. "Oh, so that's how it is? You just turned my fantasy into a pet-owner game." Smart girl. I grin. Real sma

Love isn't Real by PurpleOcean17

"Love isn't real" I mumbled looking down at me shaking hands. I felt his breath on my neck as he stood behind me. One of his hands was sliding up my hip to rest on my waist squeezing softy. "Is that what they told you?" He voice was close to my ear making me shiver. His other hand grabbed my chin making me look up and into the mirror we were standing in front of. "Yes" I answer meekly. Declan worked in a place his father owned not by choice but by force. His father ran a Secret restaurant worked by people who didn't have a job. They served in revealing outfits and the customers could treat them however they pleased. Declan was the most liked for his female features and body, he looked just like his mother which his father hated. He father made him feel useless, always saying rude and mean things and overall didn't care about what happened to him. He punished him when he did something wrong and never rewarded him when he was good and did his job well. Declan's dad told him know one loved him and that love wasn't real and Declan didn't think much about it until a mysterious man came into the restaurant and saw how Declan was treated by the rude men there. • (Rude comments will get you muted) #1 in shaking 3/7/25
