Six years of friendship. Six years of "just friends." Six years of lying to themselves.Maddie thought she had it all figured out-best friends with benefits with Matt Rife, no strings attached, no messy feelings. Just incredible chemistry, late-night hookups, and a friendship that could survive anything. Or so she thought.But watching him flirt with another girl while she can still taste him on her lips from this morning? That's when the carefully constructed walls start crumbling.Matt's been telling himself the same lie for six years-that he can keep Maddie in his bed and his heart without ruining the best thing in his life. That he can watch her smile at other guys and pretend it doesn't make him want to burn the world down. That "friends with benefits" is enough when she's everything he's ever wanted.Now, as they dance around feelings too big to ignore and too dangerous to admit, they're about to discover that some lines can't be uncrossed. Some friendships can't survive the truth.And some hearts can't keep pretending forever.A story of best friends, blurred boundaries, and the beautiful disaster of falling for someone who's supposed to be off-limits.

this is my first time writing a wattpad story, please dont hate 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐞 ; the fine line between love and hate. Y/N never thought she would end up working with Matt Sturniolo. Since they were kids, they never got along. Their moms are best friends, and that means Y/N always ends up stuck with Matt and his brothers, Nick and Chris, every time there's a family gathering. Matt is always annoying, always sarcastic, and always trying to get under Y/N's skin. She's the quiet one, focused on her studies, while Matt is the carefree, popular guy who barely cares about school. They've never understood each other, and Y/N doesn't think they ever will. But when they are forced to work together on a history project in school, things start to change. Matt doesn't care much about the project at first, leaving all the work to Y/N, but soon enough, she starts seeing a different side of him. And maybe, just maybe, Matt is starting to see her differently too. As they work together, small moments start to build between them. The sarcastic remarks turn into awkward silences, and the annoying teasing becomes something a little more... complicated. They clash, they argue, but somehow, they also start to understand each other. With a group project deadline looming, Y/N and Matt will have to decide whether they can put aside their differences. Can they actually work together, or is the tension between them just too much? And maybe the bigger question-could they possibly end up liking each other, despite everything they thought they knew? This is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story about growing up, understanding each other, and finding out that the person you thought you hated could turn out to be the one you need the most.

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

Berkley and Dean had been best friends since they were in diapers. They were so close they could finish each other's sentences and had never spent more than a week apart in their entire lives. They grew up together because their Dads were best friends and co-owners of a fishing boat company they had started up together after college. Dean had always looked out for Berkley and tried to protect her from getting hurt by guys that had bad intentions, and she trusted him more than anyone else in the world. That's why, when they went off to college together and she decided she wanted to experience sex for the first time, she couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else but him. She wanted her first time to be with someone special, someone that meant a lot to her that she could trust. Dean refused at first because he was afraid it would mess up their friendship, but he eventually caved when he found out that refusing meant she was going to do it with a guy that he hated instead. He was so protective of her that he finally gave in. The deal was, it was just going to be one time and they'd go back to being just friends after, like it never happened. The problem was, they didn't think through all the consequences that came along with having sex with your best friend. **** Warning!
