"It's called The Breakfast at Tiffany's Rule," she says to me in a flat tone while pouring my coffee. She acts like I should know what this is, "Have you ever seen the movie?"
"The Breakfast At Tiffany's Rule? And yeah, I've seen it once or twice."
"Well, Holly had everything she needed in New York! She and I are alike in some ways but....she had freedom," she shakes her head, "so I came up with that rule so that I can get my freedom just like her!"
I take a sip of my coffee and smile, "So you two are both gold diggers? And the rule is to find a sugardaddy to pay your way to luxury vacations?"
She glares at me and says with an icy tone, "No. We're both wild things," She turns around to head back to the kitchen, "The rule is set for everyone else. Quote me on this, you should never give your heart to a wild thing."
__________
In a small town in Mississippi, there is no room for girls with big dreams. Annabelle has been frowned upon for her thoughts of running away ever since freshman year of high school. After going to a college close to home, her goals AND the eye rolls follow. She came up with The Breakfast at Tiffany's Rule to make sure that she would never back down from her dreams or let anyone get in the way.
While working at the local café, she meets Mick, the guitarist for a band road tripping it to LA from New York. Since the band decided to take the longer route for a better time, the two end up learning a little bit about each other in the short time that they are in the cafe together. He finds out about the rule, too.
Soon their time was up in that small town café so the wannabe rock legend and the wild thing part ways. However, that is not the last time they will see each other. With The Breakfast at Tiffany's Rule still set in place, of course.
She just won't let anyone give his heart to a wild thing.

Superstar And Me
"It's been a week since I've been here and haven't felt like leaving the house at all. Nowhere else would ever feel the same." "That's because you're living with a family right now, and this is not just a house. It's a home." I put my finger as a bookmark and settle deeper into my position. "You like the lively air of it, that's different from a hotel of the same kind." "That's true. But what I'd meant by saying it won't be the same is that - you won't be there." Before I can open the book, my hands still. His attention pulls mine. And he smiles with a sadness of the sentiment. "I like talking to you, hearing your rational thoughts on everything except your privacy." His cheek puffs with a half smile. ---- Superstar's Staycation Spoils My Vacation Some superstar idol with pale face and handsome charm crashes my stay with my grandparents and thinks he can get a wonderful small-town homely time out of my peaceful vacation break. My grandparents agreed. So, now I have to show the foreigner around and teach him the ways of local life. Yeah, dream on, stranger. Imma only show him around our courtyard and teach him to respect privacy. Starting with sticking to his AC room and not stepping into mine, very unnecessarily. If only my brain weren't so strict on the principle, my heart wouldn't have defied it. (Img from Pinterest - https://in.pinterest.com/pin/605663849927937736/)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
Perfect Strangers
Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDComplete

"Okay, then allow me to offer a pact." He says, immediately making me a mixture of terrified and suspicious. "You say that I'm a jerk; a bully. So, why not change that my way?" "I don't like where this is going-" I begin, but he cuts me off. "Just listen." He comes closer, seating himself next to me on the curb. "You've made me lose 3 hot dates, and in my books, that's unforgivable. There was Bunny, the girl at the party, the red headed girl from Geometry, and that Grateful Dead hippy chick from the parking lot." I start to feel uneasy, like Jake is going to make me do something I am not going to want to do. "I think that I deserve some fun." He suddenly notices my face and smirks. "Not that kind of fun." I let out a well-needed breath, not noticing that I was even holding my breath until now. "An agreement," He smiles widely, liking whatever he has come up with. "Here's the rules." He hands me a piece of paper that he was keeping in his jeans pocket. I unfold it and stare at the messy handwriting. Player's can- Sweet talk Play fight Talk 24/7 Tell each other good morning and good night every day Take walks together Give each other nicknames Hang out with each other's friends Go on dates Talk on the phone all night long Hold each other Kiss Hug And whoever falls in love first, loses (Nobody can be dating anyone during this agreement or else they automatically lose) (Winner gets the opposite player to do anything they want them to do)Complete
♡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]
