[EDITING]
THEN: Athena Scott always had excellent grades in high school, is pretty on the outside, and was admired by many people. However, due to her parents' divorce when she was young, she had been living with her mother, with whom she did not get along, and she was kicked out of her home for one reason or another when she graduates from high school. So she started living with her then-boyfriend, Harry Styles, but they had a lot of trouble and fought a lot. In addition, Harry messed up and broke Athena's heart. Finally, she broke up with him.
NOW: A year later, Athena moves to a new apartment near her school. Then she gets shocked when she sees her new roommate, Harry Styles - her ex-boyfriend who Athena hates the most. They live their lives awkwardly, but one day, Athena gets drunk and accidentally has sex with Harry.
"Last night was amazing," he whispers.
I, Athena Scott, stay silent, but my heartbeat races. I don't know how to express this, and even I don't really know about my sentiment. All I clearly know is that Harry and I shouldn't have done what we did yesterday.
"There wouldn't be any sex as good as ours. And... you see me as an enemy, right?" He starts speaking.
"What are you saying?" I ask.
"I'm saying... I can be your enemy, who, you know, you have sex with."
What would you do if you and the person you hate the most become enemies with benefits?
"Listen I know we've been flirting and shit but that doesn't mean I like you, okay" I cross my arms again and slightly smirk. He smirks down at me and he opens his beautiful mouth. "If that's true, then why did I hear you using the dildo while moaning my name?" Son of a bitch.

Being friends with your neighbor isn't that bad. Need milk? He's got it. Need sugar? She's got it. Ever since she moved into the apartment next door to him, they got close and eventually became close friends. But what happens when four years of friendship starts to turn into something more. Do they want this or do they ignore it?
Penelope Jones is a tough woman. She's always on top of things and is always working to improve on her cafe, to make it thrive. She has no time for silly things like relationships, hookups, vacations, especially after everything she has been through. And she's perfectly happy with her life right now, right?
Grayson Miller is a caring and funny guy. He's always checking on Penelope, either in her apartment or cafe. But he rarely talks to the tenants in his apartment floor, the only exception is the girl he's had his eyes on. But he conceals his feelings, knowing she has no intentions of dating and knowing she will never reciprocate his feelings, right?
