"Kendra..." he took a deep breath trying to clear his head. He had come here to say goodbye, to cut ties amicably without causing her any more pain than he already had. "How could you even consider anything after what I did..."
"It wasn't your fault." Her voice was soft, trying to keep their conversation private from the rest of the cafe.
His eyes shot to the coffee mug in his hand, he knew he would lose his composure if he looked at her. "I shouldn't have been driving."
"Austin." She sighed, her voice pleading for him to listen to her.
"I was over."
"And he ran a red." She snapped back quickly, leaning in to the table closer to him.
"I should have seen him coming, I should have been able to avoid it."
"Austin it was an accident, they happen. No one blames you."
He took a steadying breath. Maybe, maybe there was a chance he could accept that part. "And the rest. You really think that wasn't my fault?"

"Sorry I'm late, I stopped for coffee and bought you-" The ice coffee in my hand quickly hits the floor the moment I turn the corner, entering Ben's office.

Echo of the Past
A few months ago, I bought a mug with gold gilt. On sale. Not a gift either nor because of an occasion to remember by it. Just plain, pretty mug for 15PLN. I drank my coffee from it since. I spat loose tea leaves into it. It never felt particularly significant. An ordinary object. Only when I lost it, I realised its true value. I sat comfortably at my desk one evening. Looking at my phone, I reached to take my song-text notebook. Trivial situation. My clumsy fingers were unable to avoid the mug. They allowed it to topple over, to slip from the desktop. Even though I did not see the split-second occurrence, I felt the pressure of unease. My head painted the trajectory of the fall on its own, the shattering, spillage. The loss. For a millisecond I still had hope, that I would be able to catch the mug, that I would be able to avoid what was about to happen. But I knew I was headed for failure. I don't have any superpowers. I only scalded my fingers. I looked at the mug's new shape for a long while, at the shattered pieces. At the spilling liquid. Our adventure came to an end. Irrevocably. I won't be drinking coffee from it anymore, nor spit tea leaves into it. Well. I shouldn't be sad, it was just a regular mug, just like thousands of others. I grew to like it, it kept me company throughout hundreds of warm drinks. I lost it. I hate this feeling the most. In the moment when I am losing something, I stop in my tracks, I hold my breath. It is always a very intense moment. A short one, but one that gives me the tight unpleasant feeling in my stomach. The feeling of loss is always accompanied by hope. Silly and naïve. Making me believe so strongly, that I can make it. That I will still be able to catch the mug mid-flight. When the feeling is entering the body, crawling into me I realise, how important it was to me. Whether it's Nivan or a stupid mug with gold gilt.Complete
You Want Me And I Want You || Post Malone
Austin and Lindsay have been happily married--well happily based on media standards--for six months. But, something still feels off to him. He had assumed once he was married he'd stop having eyes for other women and flirting with other women but none of that had stopped--especially after they get into one of their many heated arguments. So he's not much surprised when he meets Olivia. A happy, beautiful, and funny 26 year old fan that seems to show up in the pit after every show. He figured asking her to stop at a club for a drink was inevitable, but he didn't expect the connection he was going to have with her to be so strong, nor did he anticipate wanting to spend every chance he got with her. She brought out a side of him he never knew he had, a side that he always thought was him but never came out with is wife Lindsay. He never though he'd open up to a stranger the way he did her, but when he does and stories of their turbulent marriage emerge from his lips he sees Olivia backup into a corner, quietly explaining she's not looking to break up a marriage even though he tells her it's not much of a marriage to start with. Will he be able to capture Olivia, the girl he feels he desperately needs to make himself feel like his life is worth living again, or will he be stuck in his messy, unfulfilling, and toxic marriage with Lindsay always searching and wanting more.Complete
What He Doesn't Know • book one (complete) (AU)
Warning: Strong Mature Content. "Two more please." I said to the bartender as I as I finished off my fourth drink. "Two sir?" He asked me, "Don't you think you've had enough?" "Who's paying who here?" I slurred as I glared at him. He sighed, but nodded and went to go retrieve what I asked. 'How could I let this happen?' I think to myself It was my fault. God, it was all my fault. I did the one thing I told myself not to do... I let myself fall in love with her. Me, all by myself. It was nobody's fault but mine. I fell in love with her laugh. Her smile. Her jokes that weren't funny at all. Her attitude. Her personality. The way how I felt when I touched her. The way she said my name, weather it was normally, in mid laugh, in a cry of help, or a moan. I fell in love with everything about her, every part of her. I was in love with her. And now here I am, at some local bar, while she's getting married to my cousin in a state hours away from here. She was out of my life, and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.Complete
Same Bitches - Post Malone

It had just been their timing - it was off, they found each other at the worst possible time. It's a lesson well learned. Her lesson was simple - men can go fuck themselves, especially Austin, and Austin's lesson? Find a woman and marry the fuck out of her - the bastard. ~~~~~~~~~~ Lux has vowed to never cross paths with her ex, Austin, again. Life, however, likes fucking with her.Complete
