What happens when two heads collide? Many may find themselves searching for a purpose in life, but have we ever stopped to look at the beauty of things? 

Capturing the world on her sketchbook, Amara sets out to find the beauty in things. She doesn't care for what is ahead, she cares about what is in the moment. She wants to be different from everyone else. Amara may think she's the only one, until one day a young transfer student wonders into her favorite cafe...

But just when she thinks her life may brighten, her life takes a turn for the worse. 

"Maybe it's time to restart,  maybe it's time to runaway."


{first three chapters are a little long and slow, but if you can make it past those it's a fun adventure I'd love for you to be on with me and my characters!}

The Coffee Bean by Stracy2
25 parts Complete
Emmy Lorraine is living her life exactly the way she wants to - owning and running her quaint coffee shop, The Coffee Bean, and enjoying her solitary, peaceful adult life - no strings attached, and certainly no unwanted communication with her pushy, controlling parents. But a recent fling with a man she barely knows has left her in a predicament that she never could have predicted. Pregnant and single, Emmy has to face the biggest hurdle of her life, and when Ben McAllister suddenly comes back into the picture, she really doesn't know how to reconcile her fierce independent nature with her constant, inconvenient attraction to him. Add to the complicated mess the ghost that haunts her coffee shop, and Emmy's life really takes a turn for the confusing. The ghost seems to be trying to communicate with her, but at her failure to grasp its meaning, the haunting becomes more intense, forcing her to reconsider the future of The Coffee Bean - her livelihood. As her relationship with Ben progresses into something she'd never expected, Emmy fights her own natural instincts to back away, to get away from the confusion and chaos inside her heart. But as much as she'd like to think she can handle everything on her own, it's Ben's arms that she really wants to fall into at the end of each day. And as they begin to work together to solve The Coffee Bean's problems, to prepare for a child that neither of them expected to have, they find themselves pushed closer and closer together than either of them had imagined. With the unexpected arrival of Emmy's parents, whom she hasn't spoken to in nearly ten years, comes further complications - questions and anxieties that could break Emmy and Ben apart for good. But the ghost at The Coffee Bean isn't finished with them yet, and as they uncover the meaning of her haunting and communication, they learn more about their own relationship. Emmy might just realize that her heart really can open to Ben more than she'd ever wanted to believe.

"I am visiting under unusual circumstances. I won't bore you with the details but I have lost something of mine and I was hoping you could help me find it." " I'm sure I can help you find whatever you need." He was slightly confused. "But what exactly have you lost?" "My mate." Silence. "Does she know you are looking for her?" "Oh yes, she knows." Camila started choking on her food. She tried to maintain her spluttering so she wouldn't draw attention to herself. Taine noticed and decided to keep going. His eyes bored into her. "She actually decided to run from me... I don't know if she was a coward or just too weak and selfish to even consider giving me chance." She threw her cutlery down and stood up, leaning over the table. Her teeth were bared and a low growl emitted from the back of her throat. She felt hairs rising on her arms and neck. Usually even-tempered, she was now bubbling with rage. Taine didn't react well to her growl and mirrored her pose. He was trying to put her in her place, into submission. She was not having it. --- Destiny's collide, they crash and they scar. Rough seas, tidal waves, fighting for dominance in an ocean so deep... Despite the viscous ink of lies and deceit, secrets, sins one breath from leaving the lips. Love is the serenity that can calm all storms and transform all hardened hearts. For to love is to be set free from all shackles that bind you to the darkness. Whether it is the red string of fate or the curse of the moon, you cannot hide from your destiny. IT WILL FIND YOU. So...will you fight it?

based on 2775 - a girl being the love interest of two people is cliché, not until its been from the beginning of time, it becomes even more intriguing when one of them comes back to take what thou presumes theirs. Aaliyah, successful writer, very wealthy and she has the life that most girls want whereas Harry, model and art teacher, is mysterious, Harry is a perfect fit for Aaliyah's habit of wanting and keeping things she considers pretty. William is what Aaliyah first called a winged being, with a familiar look which makes her not mind his sudden company. It won't be a normal life for Aaliyah, once one of her forbidden star-crossed lovers will break a universal law just for her. "Nobody's perfect, like look at me then, I sat across Harry, he might have been one year or a month younger than me, everything about him looked tremendously ethereal: his hands that gently wrapped around each other and his eyes that hid behind his curly hair." Chapter Three- "Let Me Call You Mr Styles." This story has nothing to do with Harry Styles (I had to use his name- and surname, they're so cute!) whereas his features and physical traits are. Mature content might be featured in a few chapters! - "You poor thing," he said, walking over to me, I could feel his energy moving across my room but I ignored it and packed the rest of the pieces of stuff inside my purse. He suddenly clenched onto my arms and pulled me nearer to him, positioning his hand on my cheek, I felt a type of warmth I had never felt in a long time and I instinctively smothered my face against his soft palm. "You're still the same," he chuckled. "I would have anticipated this behaviour from Bastet, not you but I guess you must have picked up her manner," he added. ☆FEATURED ON in YAFantasy RL 🏅#44 EGYPT 🏅#11 SPIRITUALITY 🏅#74 WOC 🏅#49 HS 🏅#15 PUBLISHED 🏅#10 PARANORMAL-ROMANCE
