Espresso Stories

Y/N has built the life he always dreamed of-until a familiar face from his past reappears, unraveling everything he thought he knew about love and fate. As old flames reignite and unexpected connections spark, Y/N finds himself torn between the past that shaped him and the future waiting to be written. But in a game of hearts, timing is everything... and some choices can't be undone. Caught in between both women, Y/N faces a choice... but what if he's too late either way?

Ivana Meredith Cox, a lively girl and an extremely talented barista who runs a small, beautiful cafe in Phoenix, trying to move on from her father's death. All she wants is to lay low, go to college and lead a quiet, peaceful life without people bringing up her painful past. The last thing she wants in her life is more trouble but that's exactly what she gets. Trouble that is, Ace Newman, a mysterious, platinum-haired boy who's always surrounded with rumours and seems to be troubled by a haunting past. He's been termed as the infamous delinquent of the city, his reputation tainted regardless of where he goes. There's little that people know about him and so much more that they don't. Ivana knows that Ace isn't half as bad as people make him out to be. What she doesn't know, though, is that he wants his true past to be revealed just as much as she doesn't want hers to be. Perhaps, an unreasonable addiction to caffeine mixed with an unexpected dose of adventure and sarcasm is exactly what the two need for the sparks to fly. ~EXCERPT~ "Your money." He spoke. "And stop staring. It's creepy as fvck." Scowling, I took the money and gave him the receipt. "No swearing in here, please." "Your words always present an irony to your expressions." He mused. "I like that." "Look uh...Mister, no need to act all friendly. I've got better stuff to do than to waste my time interacting with you." "The name's Ace." He drawled and I scowled yet again. "What makes you think I'd be interested?" "They always are." He smirked, shrugging and grabbing his coffee turned to leave. ~~~ Author's note: This is not your cliche bad boy good girl story and I highly suggest you give the book a chance :D Highest Rank: #42 in delinquent

At the Jeffersonian Institute, truth is written in fractures, ligaments and words left behind. When brilliant but razor-tongued Italian forensic psycholinguist Dr. Alessandra Ferrero joins forces with FBI psychologist Lance Sweets, their methods clash as violently as their personalities. She trusts data. He trusts people. Between dissected skeletons and half-finished profiles, what begins as intellectual warfare slowly unravels into something far more dangerous: understanding. And maybe, something like love. ----------------------- "I'm Dr. Lance Sweets," he said, offering a charming smile. "I'm the FBI's psychologist. I'll be your partner on the psych-linguistic profiles for the 'Casanova Killer' case." Alex looked him up and down, her eyes lingering just a second too long on his youthful face. "You look like you're waiting for your puberty to finish, tesoro. Are you sure you're a doctor and not a very lost intern?" Sweets' smile didn't waver, but his eyebrows shot up. "I've been told I have a youthful energy. And you must be the 'Cynical Roman' Booth warned me about." "And you're the 'Shrink' who thinks he can read minds," she countered, stepping into his personal space. "Don't try it with me, Dr. Sweets. My mind is a very dark place, and you'll likely get lost without a map."

For the first time since he'd gotten married, Herb sat before the piano. He had a year to regain his skills, soon to play for Sparkling's wedding. - for the lovely rinxchka!

In a world where all have markings showing their personalities, a few special people don't agree with the path assigned for them. But society looked down upon those who didn't follow their mark, so these few hid their real personalities from the world, putting up a barrier to keep others happy. But were these people happy themselfs? No. In fact, most absolutely despised what they made themselves become. How does this affect two teens who just wanted to love each other?

Espresso and Madeleine's relationship isn't the best. Espresso is a very bitter boy while Madeleine is all happy and prideful. Madeleine enjoys being the knight commander while Espresso despises it. This is a tiny story about how Espresso soon found out how much Madeleine cared.

I don't know what description to add

Price compression is ongoing, and volatility is nearing. Opportunity waits for the patient among us. From my side of the room I could hear the ball bouncing up and down as the room collectively held its breath. While I couldn't see the board through a haze that only a poorly ventilated room of chainsmokers could produce, I could tell what was happening. "No more bets!" the Atlantic City casino pit boss barked. I was in town for the local MMA show, and one misadventure after another had dropped me in the underbelly of degeneracy. And while it was 10 years ago, this memory is anything but hazy to me. As I inched closer to the roulette table my assumption was verified after a quick count - the table was loaded with high rollers. It was no wonder why things got so quiet. The professional degenerates of Atlantic City were betting big. I remained on the fringe of the onlookers with both fascination and detachment that only the amalgamation of the moment could provide. And as the ball bounced about, popping in and out of color coded slots, anxious gamblers were hyper focused in ways that would put a day trader watching a Jerome Powell presser to shame. The stillness of the room seemed to alter physics as time slowed just as the ball settled into its mark. "Double Zero - Green!" The lone spot on the board where nobody had any action. The pit boss proceeded to collect the chips without a shred of empathy. One gambler got up and left, cursing his fate loudly as he stumbled towards the exits, while the eyes of the others met in silent communion as they waited for the next round to begin. That's the way she goes. The House Wins I couldn't help but think back on that story as things have been playing out in all too similar a fashion in the Bitcoin options market.
