Romance trope: best friends to lovers.

"You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again."

TEDDY:
I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy.

The crush on my best friend was also an accident.

He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago.

JENSEN:
It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too.

I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind.

But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything?

[This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.]

Nothing to lose by Hey_Hugh

My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink. Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't. Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what. Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?

Just A Friend by Kadenereadaholic

"Do you know how hard it is for me knowing that you're with someone else?" Tyler asked, staring at me intensely. "You think this is easy for me?" I asked, trying to hold back my tears. "I didn't say it was -" he began, but I cut him off. "It's not. I have to go around hating myself. Hating myself for thinking about you. Hating myself for wanting you. I just want to stop feeling this way." I stepped closer to him as my voice shook with every word. "I want to forget about you, but I just--." The rest of my sentence was cut short as Tyler took the final step, closing the gap between us and brought his lips to mine. ~~~~~~~~ Tyler is back from college to find out that the girl who once held his heart has a new boyfriend. They haven't been together for four years now, so why can't he convince himself that he's over her? Emily, who is trying to move on with her life, found a new boyfriend after four years of missing Tyler. Everything was going great, and she thought she was finally beginning to be happy again, but all that changed when Tyler moved back home. Her feelings that she thought she had buried resurfaced. Could she forget about Tyler and move on? Will Tyler remain just a friend? Or will she follow her heart? ****** This story is the sequel to "Just A Kiss." However, you don't need to read "Just A Kiss" to read this. This story can be read alone. ****** Wonderful cover made by @yourgirlnana21

Michael and Liam are madly in love. Or so they think. How madly in love could you be when you've only just started talking? Liam has always been a helpful person. In fact, his self proclaimed job use to be helping people get with each other. But he was always the one to be left unhappy in the end. As Liam breaks away and starts to go into new and dangerous territory, will he be able to save his heart? Or will he give away the key to his heart too easily? Michael has a over sensitive body. And sometimes that makes it hard to separate feelings correctly. And with every string of boys, he only covers his dark pass even more. He thought everything was perfect, until Liam. Why is he trying to figure Michael out? And why is his touch so good? Lust drives them. Fighting makes them understand. Running makes them worry. And crying brings them closer. What were they thinking, to get involved with a silly thing called: L O V E. (A/N: This actually a little bit of a side story off of my other two books "I HATE YOU" and it's sequel "Hey, I STILL HATE YOU" and you are welcome to read that before this but it isn't necessary! Enjoy.)

Romeo and Juliet by 2Hearts_write

SHORT CHAPTERS ------ He rips my phone from my hand again and puts it behind him. "Tell me how it works then." "We have to kiss." He looks at me for a few seconds, then grins. I recognize that smile. He's thinking of something mischievous. "A kiss?" "What? Are you worried of kissing me?" His hand swiftly finds the back of my head. A slight tug on my hair and a swift lean in for a kiss leaves me breathless. But breath seems unnecessary. His tongue invades my mouth with a rough yet skilled dance, leading me onto his lap. My hands explore his body, tracing the contours of his chest and arms. ----------------------- Dive into the exhilarating world of Romeo and Juliet as they elevate the game to unprecedented heights. As the reigning players of their school, they're mirror images of each other, identical in spirit but divided by gender. They embark on a daring test of wits and wills against each other. Will they emerge victorious or descend into a battle so fierce they might just claw their eyes out? Ps: This is story has nothing to do with Thank you, Romeo. In fact, this inspired Thank you, Romeo.
