"You First" - A Story of Love, Longing, and the One You Can't Let Go
For years, Celeste Lancaster and Adrian Reyes have been best friends-inseparable, untouchable, and always on each other's side. Late-night drives, whispered confessions, and stolen moments define their friendship, but nothing ever crosses the line.
At least, not out loud.
But when Celeste falls for Nico-the charming, toxic boy Adrian has always hated-he's forced to watch her fall for someone who doesn't deserve her. And when Nico inevitably breaks her heart, it's Adrian who's there to pick up the pieces.
That's when everything changes.
Celeste starts noticing the way Adrian looks at her-the way he always has. The tension in their stolen glances, the hesitation in his touches, the moments where they almost kiss, but don't.
Because Adrian won't cross that line.
Not when she still sees him as just a friend.
Not when she might still love someone else.
Not when he's terrified of losing her.
But feelings don't stay buried forever. And when jealousy, heartbreak, and longing push them closer than ever, Celeste and Adrian are left with only two choices: risk everything... or lose each other forever.
A slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance about missed chances, undeniable tension, and realizing the one you've always needed has been right beside you all along.
