The world is full of oxymorons. Not just in the English language. But we never really notice them. That's the beauty. They get accepted as normal occurrences when in fact, they are not.
Meet Juniper Holmes (AKA June), a university student majoring in video game development. Sassy, spunky, full of energy, yet awkward, extremely clumsy and forever dysfunctional in almost every social situation. She's the epitome of an outgoing introvert and is also (you guessed it) an oxymoron.
Not as far away as she imagined is Noah Lee, the CEO of Ubisoft, France. Her role model and inspiration (and kinda the man of her dreams). Handsome, elegant, aggressive and cold. People would say that he was the epitome of an icy businessman and programmer.
But then again, icy businessman is not an oxymoron.
And wasn't June's life full of oxymorons?

[Featured by wattpad romance, teen fiction, young adult and psychologicalnovel] Joy Jones was a seventeen-year-old kind and optimistic girl working in her grandpa's flower shop, but she had a secret.

"You're not about to carry me out in bridal style again, are you?" "Do you want me to?" He couldn't help but smirk. Her face from their date surfaced in his memories. He found it just as amusing as back then. Revenge never tasted sweeter. Would she make the same reaction right now? It was tempting but the venue wasn't the best place for it. "No!"

She buried her face on the side of his chest, inhaling his cologne. "Are you sure?" Ambryan asked, genuinely concerned now. He held her chin and raised it. His violet eyes met her hazel ones. The blush on her cheeks had magnified in saturation. He couldn't tell anymore if it came from embarrassment or the alcohol. Either way, it intrigued him on how much redder she could possibly be.
