"You are one eye-catching man, Mr.Barista. Would you fancy blessing my phone with your number?" "You got it. Caramel latte with extra whipped cream, coming right up." "That IS the order I want, but Mr. Barista, what I want more is for you to call me." "Oh, I'll definitely call you." "Really? You will?" "To collect your order from the counter, sir. Please wait patiently." "There you go, deflecting again! We're not done until you finally ring me up, Winter. Mark my damn words." The barista turned and walked back to the counter, smooth as ever, leaving his flustered customer behind. But, unbeknownst to the persistent man, Winter's lips had curled into the faintest smirk, the tiniest hint of a smile betraying the fact that maybe, just maybe, he didn't mind the chase. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 21-year-old Colin Hart has a crush - And it's massive! At first, it seemed rather simple: just be his usual charming self, and the object of his affection would fall for Colin within a heartbeat. But this time? Not so simple. The reason? It is because Colin's "target" is none other than 26-year-old Winter Reyes, the barista at his favorite café, who is the living embodiment of cold beauty. Winter always seems so unbothered, unattainable, and just so far away... Nothing seems to faze that man, and who is Colin if he is not the kind of guy to chase after a challenge? All he wants now is a ring - not on his finger, but from Winter's phone! Will he ever get a call? Only time will tell. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NONE OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS USED IN THIS STORY ARE BY ME. THEY ARE FROM PINTEREST, AND I USED THEM TO BRING MY STORY TO LIFE.

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*
