Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

On Broken Ice | ✔️
When you hit rock bottom, you can only go up. For Elizabeth Erickson, the climb back to where she was- and who she used to be- is more difficult than the fall. At 16, Elizabeth was set up to be a figure skating legend. She won her first national title at just 17, but by 18, she was crumbling under the pressure with lackluster scores and a program she can't connect to. After taking time off from the sport following an all-too-public suicide attempt, she's trying to climb her way back to where she used to be. Plagued with nightmares and insomnia, she spends her nights skating, alone under the lights of the rink. Until the night Noah Li walks through the doors, with problems of his own he's looking to escape. Noah Li was already a force within the figure skating world at age 19. With two national titles and numerous international medals under his belt. He wasn't expecting an ankle injury to take him out of the sport for so long- or to throw him off his game as much as it did. There's something vulnerable under Noah's confidence that draws Elizabeth toward him. As the two get closer to each other and where they used to be, they find themselves healing. But will a relationship help them fix their broken pieces or scatter them even further? -Completed- | Highest ranking: #33 in Teen Fiction | Wattpad Pick: High School Hijinks | Project Heartwork | Watty's 2018 shortlist | Originally published: January 2018 | rough draftComplete

She enjoyed the life of a young, beautiful socialite in the trendy city of Austin, Texas. She spent most of her days and nights moving from one party to the next. But slowly, she was coming to realize that her life was beginning to spin out of control and she knew it. When a compassionate woman comes to her rescue, Zola realizes that perhaps there is something that she wants, desperately.
