You Like Me?! | ✓
"So, let me get this straight," I looked at him weirdly, raising my hands slightly in exclamation. "You like me?!" I asked him in disbelief. "Like or like-like?" I really can't get my head to process his words at the moment. "Is it weird that I don't." He simply replied, his voice sounded calm but serious at the same time. "And for your question, I do. I do like-like you. Like, I really like you. To the point that you're the only thing that's on my mind everyday and I can't seem to get you off it." I was literally standing there like an idiot, slowing blinking my eyes in a slow pace, still can't believe what's actually happening in front of me. ______________________________ ( Partially Edited.)

Behind the Letters
It was supposed to be anonymous. Just some harmless, late-night messeges on a forum. No names. No photos. No real-life complications. She was GoldTrap-mysterious, sharp, and way too good with words. I was BlueInk-awkward, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for anything. But then she made me laugh. Then she made me think. Then... she made me feel things I really shouldn't be feeling for someone I've never met. I'm Quinn. Twenty-four. Screenwriter-in-training. Emotionally a little chaotic and basically there no reason an amazing woman like her would be falling for someone like me. I've played a lot of roles in my life. But never this one. ----------------------------------------------- Late at night, I started writing letters to a stranger on a private forum-just to feel something real. She calls herself BlueInk. She's young, clever, infuriatingly honest... and somehow, she sees right through me. She doesn't know I'm Juliette Delaney-Hollywood's favorite ice queen with a face on every magazine and a life that doesn't belong to me anymore. She doesn't know that when I type, my hands shake. That when I read her replies, I smile. That I'm craving her words more than I've ever craved the spotlight. And I don't know what will happen if she finds out who I am. Because if I tell her the truth, I might lose the one person who loves me for who I really am. Not the icon. Not the actress. Just... me. But if I don't? I'll never get to feel her say my name out loud.Complete

SCHIZOPHRENIA
I posted it, captioning it as though it was a gift from my boyfriend. "#Thank_you_my_bf😘" I typed quickly and uploaded the picture to Instagram after I snapped a photo of my coffee and "I wish I have a boyfriend" I thought to myself. I couldn't help it. I was always a little jealous of my friends, especially whenever we'd hang out. They'd always talk about their love lives, and it felt like I was the only one without a story to share. But just a few moments later, my thoughts began to shift. "𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵... 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘺", I thought, feeling a little embarrassed. "𝘪 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦 𝘪𝘵" I said laughing to myself. I unlocked my phone, ready to erase the post when suddenly...Complete![Second Chances [Lesbian]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/245483777-256-k116206.jpg)
Second Chances [Lesbian]
I let out a soft Mmm and instantly opened my eyes to see her looking at me with her head slightly tilted to the side and an amused smile playing on her lips. "Do you always have that reaction to things that taste good?" The possibility of a double meaning to her question wasn't lost on me and it surprised me, making me cough. I cleared my throat before answering. "Well, it depends.." I answered carefully. "On what?" She leaned forward slightly with what looked like an almost mischievous glint in her eyes. "On what I'm eating," I fired back sounding a lot more confident than I felt. Her eyebrows went up slightly. *** When Ren stumbles upon a job opportunity, she never thinks that it'll completely change her life. Meeting Cameron offers her something she thought she'd never get.. a second chance. Little does she know that it will also mean finally finding herself.

♡The FunnyBunny Coffee Shop♡
Every fandom has one. This is no different. here's my attempt at a Coffee Shop/Cafe AU Jax thinks the C&A corporation beside their local coffee shop is quite the nuisance. He already hates his job here, and adding fuel to that fire is all the business men that he has to clean up after, at the end of every shift. His perspective starts to change, however, when Pomni - A new employee at C&A - starts showing up at the coffee shop. He totally won't admit it - but between you and me...... I think someone's got a bit of a crush! ♡ [they're humans in this AU, btw - they weren't going to be originally, but uh....I didn't know how to justify them being they're ..."cartoon"? counterparts. anyways if you read, I hope you enjoy] [Also I'm not a very good writer, so please don't judge me, i'm fragile 🥺....lol jk you can judge - I'm doing it too. but like - you know....just a heads up if this story reads like dogwater, I told you so. okay okay, ONE MORE THING!!! they keep they're digital circus names here! I had ideas for their real names, but I'm worried it'd be a lot tryna figure out who's who so yeah :3]

He replied as he looked into my eyes. -x- When London's best agent from F.O.R.C.E, Clarke Augustan, is assigned as Aaron Cortez's undercover bodyguard, or 'babysitter' as she puts it, life throws her way challenges, secrets, twists, misfired bullets (fortunately), and few boys who cause more trouble than her neighbour's cat. And life isn't all easy for Aaron Cortez with the numerous threats and snipers aiming at him. His sudden interest in the new girl at school doesn't help him for little does he know she is armoured with secrets that would probably give him a heart attack. What happens when the secret is finally out? Whose secrets are we even talking about now? -x- "We have another thing common, Miss Clarke. We both have an unwavering urge to avenge." "You know, there is something else in common too," I spoke as I walked around examining my surroundings. "And that is, Miss Clarke?" He asked with a short amused laugh. "We've both come very close to meeting death; one too many times." It was my turn to look at him and laugh, "What makes us different thought is that you'll be the only one meeting him tonight." -x- She is in love with her modern-day Prince Charming and him, His knight in sneakers. Soon in cinemas. Not. I hope so. |editing| _______ Please don't copy the storyline, that would be really really really sick. Thank you for reading, It will not disappoint you.Complete
Purely Arrogant | ✓
He's popular. I have one friend. He's outgoing. I'm quiet. He has a girlfriend. I'm alone. I'm shy and he's purely arrogant. But they say like forces repel and opposites attract. And we're complete opposites. ════════ "Hello, my name is Juliette Hunter and I think you're an asshole" I said to him, turning my body away so I could, once again, try and grab the book I so desperately needed. "Your turn" I added, after a moment of silence, realising that he was too stunned to speak. His recovery was lightning fast however, as he replied with "Hi Juliette, my name is Levi Knight" He paused, allowing his eyes to roam my body, slowly taking me in from head to toe. I looked him in the eyes, defiant in not allowing him to get to me, as my cheeks began to burn. "And I think you could qualify as one of the most beautiful girls I have ever laid eyes on" he continued smoothly. I couldn't think of a smart remark in response to what he had said so I mumbled a "fuck off" before returning to the bookshelf, I was sure my face turned crimson. "Just out of curiosity," Levi continued, now leaning against the bookshelf. I wasn't going to warn him about the fact that it was slowly tipping over. "You're single right?" I wasn't going to tell him that his assumption offended me either. Instead I replied with "Just out of curiosity" I said in a mocking tone "You're single now too, aren't you?" "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" "You're not gonna leave me alone, are you?" I muttered, attempting once more, to grab the book I so badly needed for English. "You're really hot, you know?" "You're really annoying, you know?"Complete
