Axel's been my best friend for a long time. Despite our contrasting natures, we've always been close. He's confident, cocky, and a womanizer. I tend to be quiet and awkward. Either way, it works for us. He is my best friend, and nothing will change that. We have been through too much to let our relationship fall apart or allow anyone to come between us.

Over the years, people have said that a guy and a girl can't be only friends. My response to them has always been the same: yes, they can because we are friends and nothing more.

 Those words rang truer than ever until I got a new boyfriend, and then things shifted. Axel doesn't like him, and soon, I find his behaviour changing towards me. He's behaving more like a jealous ex or boyfriend than a best friend. He's always been protective, but this is different.

I try not to overthink it, but what I didn't expect was that one drunken kiss would change everything. Is one drunken kiss enough to ruin everything? I fear things are shifting between Axel and me. I'm scared to see how it plays out. Am I going to lose my best friend, or is what everyone said about us not being able to be only friends starting to become true?

Irresistible by ImmaFrootLoop

I looked up at the man in front of me. He was HOT. But he was also forbidden fruit. He was Alex's brother for God's sake! My boyfriend's brother, none the less. I shouldn't feel at all attracted to him, but the way he was looking at me right now... This wasn't right. He leaned closer though. I was losing all control right then. He pressed his lips to my jaw and my mind went completely blank, like it always does when he was this close. This was wrong. This was wrong. I knew it, but I couldn't bring myself to find the reason. Then it came to me. Alex. Alex would be angry. Now I seemed like a whore. Another kiss, on my neck this time, and another thought slipped away. This is still wrong... Why though? Think Beatrice! Alex came to mind again. Alex came to mind again. I knew there were more reasons than that, but I couldn't think of them at the moment. He moved his lips again, this time peppering kisses across my collarbone and he stopped at the hollow of my throat. I gasped softly. Now my mind was empty. I wasn't even thinking clearly. The only thought that passed my mind was that I wanted more of this. More of him.

Heirs Of Aurous by ElectricFairy143

❝ They say, who loves first, falls hardest, but what if this story is she fell first, he fell harder. ❞ Truths hurt, lies are a blasphemy in a relationship. But have you ever felt it? When everything feels like they're infinitely stretching your soul and tearing it into tiny pieces of who you once were. For me, my past hides my mistakes, and in my future, she's the only one I see. But do I even deserve her? For me, smiling is no better than a sin. Love seems like a punishment. Falling for someone again feels like a luxury. So why am I getting a second chance? For me, Love always feels like a gut-wrenching feeling, all-consuming and unattainable. But is it really that far? They say hate and love are divided by just a fine line. As they both stand on either side, am I really letting go of the hand I once held dear?

Flicker of You by ghit4ktn

We were more than friends, less than lovers... and somehow, every time I thought I knew him, he proved me wrong. I thought I could change him, I really tried, but in the end, he changed me. Every look, every word, every little touch pulled me off balance, and I kept going back, even when I hated how much he got under my skin. Why is it that the sweetest boys always end up being the biggest plot twists? The ones you think you can read like a book end up rewriting your whole story. And somehow, even with all the chaos, the almosts, the heartbreak, I can't stop feeling like maybe he's the kind of love you can't escape. I hated you, now all i hate is how much i need you.

Rules to Feeling Lonely by LoveForPie7

Alone. A simple word that has always held many meanings to Ella, and starting her senior year at a new high school, solitude had seemed the easiest way to go.

His name, for her book. There's only one little problem; she has no idea who this person is. Laughs and tears, friends and heartbreak, and the past that comes knocking on the door. Ella faces it all as she takes on the search to find her secret admirer. ___________________ "I can't believe him after the texts, the letter, the flowers. All these months and he just tells me 'we'll talk later'", I told him, feeling absolutely frustrated. I am so damn stupid, thinking this was gonna be something special or whatever. "It isn't him", he suddenly spoke and I just rolled my eyes. He doesn't even know what he's talking about, the imbisile. "It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time. "Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" "Because it's me"

Let's be Together by verenawrites01

A kiss can change everything. One kiss with your best friend, and it changes the whole dynamic. What will you do when you get to know that your best friend has been in love with you? What will you do when she doesn't want to be friends anymore and wants more instead? * "Everytime I see you with a guy, my skin fucking burns" Millie hisses, pinning me with an intense look that makes my belly flip. I am pinned to the wall with her caging me. "Do you know how hard it is to pretend that you are only my friend, and nothing more? That I love you but cannot have you?" Her words spin inside my head, and the thundering beating of my heart echoes in my ear. How do we come to this situation? I pant as she leans closer, her eyes averting to my parted lips. I am having thoughts of kissing her. Hell, I see her in my dreams so often now that I am not sure what she means to me now. Millie caresses my cheeks and a shiver runs down my spine. "I can't pretend anymore, Grace. It's getting really hard" she whispers in my ear and I squirm. When she meets my eyes, I say something that surprises her. "Then don't." I crash my lips on hers, crossing whatever lines we had.
