THE ONE I COULDN'T HATE

*I have four other stories already finished and waiting to be released alongside this one, so please follow me and stick around!*

*The characters are 100% fictional and are not based on or connected to any real person who may share the same name.*

Aury Delune and Ezra Martin have been at each other's throats for as long as they can remember.
Childhood friends turned lifelong rivals, they've spent years trading insults, provoking each other, and pretending they couldn't stand being in the same room. Their history is complicated enough without the fact that Aury happens to be the little sister of Ezra's best friend.
So when four friends leave for a vacation in Spain, Ezra expects sunshine, late nights, and a much-needed escape.
He doesn't expect to end up sharing a room with Aury.

What starts as an unbearable situation quickly becomes something neither of them knows how to handle. Old arguments turn into playful banter. Familiarity turns into unexpected tenderness. And the line between hatred and attraction becomes dangerously blurred.
For the first time in years, Aury starts seeing the boy she grew up with beneath the walls Ezra has built around himself. And Ezra begins to realize that the girl who has always known exactly how to get under his skin might also be the only person who truly understands him.

Between sun-soaked days, chaotic nights, stolen moments, and feelings neither of them is ready to admit, Those vacation forces them to confront the one thing they've spent years avoiding:

Maybe they were never meant to hate each other.
Maybe they were just too afraid to admit what was underneath it all.
