The smell of coffee and the chaos of Manchae Cafe are Jax's only constants. A shy graphic artist with a love for dogs and a talent for hiding her feelings, she's convinced the confident and popular Astraea is way out of her league. Little does she know, Astraea sees something special in her, too, but is holding back, worried about Jax's lack of solid plans and her own reputation.
Jax finds comfort in her witty, teasing friendship with Nina, her younger coworker, whom she treats like a little sister. But what if the sibling-like bond Jax feels is actually something deeper?
When a misunderstanding with Astraea leaves Jax heartbroken, Nina steps in to comfort her. In that moment, a quiet realization dawns on both of them. Nina, who's been hiding her feelings for Jax, finally understands her own heart. But what Nina doesn't know is that Jax has secretly felt the same way, burying her feelings because of their age difference.
As the lines between friendship and something more blur, a newly-decided Astraea re-enters the picture. Now sure of her feelings for Jax, Astraea is ready to risk everything and confess.
A short, messy, and sweet story about love, finding yourself, and discovering that sometimes the person you're looking for has been right there all along.
Will Jax finally reach for the woman she believes is a dream? Or will she realize that what she's been searching for has been by her side all along?

Best Mates Don't Kiss (MxM)
A fake kiss with his best friend James was meant to be a harmless stunt to fend off a psychotic ex. But for Chris, it unlocks a door he was never meant to open - feelings he can't explain and questions he is afraid to ask. Determined to protect their friendship, Chris tries to bury his growing attraction. Yet James is hiding secrets far darker than unspoken love - secrets that bind them to a past neither can outrun. As Chris edges closer to the truth, he is forced to confront the horrifying reality: some kisses don't end with love, they end with betrayal, obsession and blood. As their lighthearted bromance begins to blur into something more, everything spirals into psychological warfare with the arrival of a third presence - one far more dangerous than they ever imagined. With trust fracturing and mind games escalating, it is no longer about attraction but survival.

Let it Rain | Orianna | Book1 | WLW
[Completed] (ShortStory) [women -loving- women] [girlXwoman] I came across a woman, to me, she's different at first sense. I wasn't sure how my existence turns out to be that day. By only gazing at her, I was fallen into my emotions. I couldn't find reasons to take away my eyes off her, millions of thoughts by just gazing at her. My existing state of mind is present at that moment, but I couldn't find any reason to describe her. How I felt, I was fascinated quickly by her. I didn't ask her name, but I saw the card she provided me to pay her bill, her name was Orianna Ferguson. I arrived back to let her sign, she brought her pen and stroke the pen signing, and was done. Noticing, she didn't even stare at all the papers where she signed. I leave after and let her enjoy her moment time alone. "Hey! Kiss! She can't see..." said the other staff saw a lowered tone, almost whispering, lowering her head down. "You didn't notice, do you? No judgments. I mean, she's a regular guest, I call her a lady in a hat." Dana, my co-waitress sneered while she said. Since the day I was bothered by the idea, she got me mesmerized. Should I talk to her? Or rather, have this dumbfounded idea. Waiting and standing here from afar, contented gazing enthralling her unique beauty on purpose. I have a million reasons to accept the fact. Will she be able to see me? Glance back or able to meet our eyes, recognizing me. Have you ever felt something that is missing...?

In The Backseat
Roommates by chance, sparks fly immediately-but not in the way anyone expects. Calitrope dismisses Venici as a cute, easily manipulated plaything, someone to tease, maybe charm, then move on from. But as days melt into weeks, Calitrope finds herself inexplicably drawn to Venici's stubbornness, her intelligence, the way her cheeks flush when Calitrope pushes her buttons. Venici, for her part, knows she should resist the flirtatious allure of her rebellious roommate, yet her heart betrays her. The tension between them grows slowly, heated glances exchanged across their shared space, casual brushes of skin that linger longer than they should. As Calitrope finds herself caught between the intoxicating thrill of control and the undeniable pull of something deeper, Venici realizes that the fierce competition between them might just be the one thing keeping Calitrope coming back-and maybe, just maybe, there's more to their banter than either of them are willing to admit. Neither is willing to make the first move, and yet, in the backseat of that Mustang, things might finally come to a head. It's not just about winning anymore-it's about giving in.

Plan Of Seduction
"I hate you - so much Tripp." More confusion because, once more, wasn't this a good thing? "Why did you have to say that? What if," A little quieter, just above a whisper. "What if we mess up our friendship?" "But what if we don't?" "You don't know that," I bumped his nose with my finger. "And neither do you. So, why don't we give it a shot?" He bit down on his bottom lip, hesitation and worry filling his gaze. __ This is literally a story that follows the plot of two best friends realizing their feelings for each other, yes, I know, very cliche, but I enjoyed writing it.
