Elsie is a girl. And August is a boy. 
But this isn't a girl meets boy story.

When an old family friend asks for a favour, Elsie wasn't exactly expecting his son August to move into her families New York penthouse. She also wasn't expecting him to look like a Burberry model, either. And she really wasn't expecting him to be a giant pain in her ass. Or to have a guitar case full of secrets.

But all the secrets in the world can't change the fact that Elsie just might be with the wrong guy. 

And maybe, just maybe, August figures that out before even Elsie does. 
Will he help her open her eyes? Or will he let her live her life playing pretend? 



OooOOOOooOOoOOOOOOOooooh!
How mysterious. How romantic.
The suspense is KILLING me.
Literally. 

But in all seriousness, I've started writing again because it seems to be the only time I'm not anxious, go figure! And I wanted to share that with you lovely humans. Or you might even be aliens. Whatever. I'm not one to discriminate. 

Stay tuned Amigos, I'm predicting a bumpy ride. 

But like, the Space Mountain kind, not the flat-tyre, deflated kind.

ANYWAYS,

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Soz 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.

The Next Door Neighbour by chxrrystems

All's fair in love and babysitting. • • • Shailene Avery is hated by one person, and one person only: Brayden Ferguson Fields. Saturated in sarcasm and edgy teenage angst, Brayden is the one person Shailene cannot understand, like, or even pretend to get along with. And no matter how nice she is to him at their frequent neighbourly get-togethers, or as they stand awkwardly at the bus stop in the mornings, or during the countless nights of having to babysit their younger siblings together ("because double date night" is the lacklustre reason given by her parents), she still cannot get through to him. Because he hates her. And that is that. Brayden Fields has 99 problems, and his pain-in-the-ass neighbour is one of them. Shailene Rose Avery is loved by everyone for reasons Brayden can't even try to understand. Her incessant chattering and fruitless attempts at friendship give him a migraine, and he only ever talks to her when he absolutely has to. Honestly, if he had to choose between being poisoned by anthrax or spending an entire day with her - well, let's just say he'd have a hard time deciding. They avoid each other as much as possible, because - let's be honest - it's better that way. But what happens when they don't get a say? What happens when fate decides to throw them together over and over again? What happens when they learn there's more to a book than just the cover? | does this have a plot??? who even knows. also idk why it says completed April 2020, I finished this book in 2017 lol | highest rank - #107 babysit #75 thirdperson
