Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year.

Then Beck showed up.

She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his.

What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. 

But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same.

This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from.

Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it.

If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.

"I'm I'm this class, this is my other class I was telling you about on Saturday, oh do you remember Saturday? When we hung out and spoke all night, oh I guess not, since we're not friends" I spat at him. A flash of hurt appears in his eyes. "Look I'm sorry, the boys wanted to speak to you guys today but I thought you'd be better off without us" what did he mean? That made no sense.

"Do you have any idea how damn frustrating you are?" He trapped me between him and the wall. Stubbornly, I looked squarely at him, "You say this like it's news to you." He pursed his lips, clenched his jaw, and stared at me with darkened eyes before he closed the gap between us. I stared at him squarely as I felt his body heat radiated off me, my lips parted and my breathing picked up a notch. He placed one hand on the wall and brought his lips an inch away from mine as the other hand trailed up my arms, "I am going to make you feel my frustration." I ran my finger along his jaw and dared him with my eyes, "I'm Mila," I grinned, "You can try but we both know you won't succeed." He ran his thumb over my bottom lip, "Don't take my love for you as weakness," he stated and captured my lips with a fiery kiss. The road to love for Mila and Mitchell wasn't easy, but they finally reached their destination after many bumps along the way. Blissfully in love, they set off on another journey together but instead of the Highway, they hit the high seas. However, love and life aren't always smooth sail and they learn that when they embark on their adult life after college.

Two strong personalities have finally accepted they love each other but both are set in their ways and stubborn with unbreakable egos. Can their love weather storms in their path or will things like jealousy, insecurity, and family stand in their way to happily ever after?

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.
