Jacob Maier looks hot on paper: An award-winning musician with famous friends and even more famous exes, he's both a tabloid favorite and a cautionary tale. 

The word in Hollywood is: if you're a female star on the rise, don't touch him with a ten-foot pole.

YouTuber Alexis "Al" Hunter has heard her agent's warning and brushed it aside. She isn't even in the market for romance after her first and only relationship went up in flames.

When a work project goes sideways and her best friend stands her up at a local dive bar,  Al is ready to call it a night. But just as she's about to leave,  a guy walks in who has the women at the bar swooning like he's the protagonist in a steamy cologne commercial. And Al can't help but watch! 

Until he takes a seat at her table...

--------

GRAVITY (named after the John Mayer song since he accidentally inspired this story too) is a romcom I made up in 2019 to cope with insomnia. I wasn't planning on ever writing it down but the story came back to me when I had a severe case of insomnia thanks to the 2020 Covid lockdown. 

Unlike the majority of my books, which are largely inspired by my own life, this story pays homage to my favorite celebrities, the digital age, and pop culture. I should be too old to get excited about stories like this, but some of us never grow old, so this one's for the eternally young. ;p 
Hope you enjoy!

// A W2S Fanfic // If it is true that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results", then Alex had been living in insanity her whole life. Alex feels like she as been going through the motions for way too long. Like she had been stuck living as a supporting character in someone else's story-- often playing roles like the less attractive friend, the older hardly-present sister, the annoying younger sister, the girl you go out with before you meet the love of your life. Feeling like an extra in your own life is not fun, but she realized that there is only one constant in her predicament and it was her. If anything was going to change for her, she would have to change. So she made a resolution: to do the things she won't normally do. It was when she started on this quest to push herself to do things she normally wouldn't that she meets Harry. An awkward chance encounter that quickly grew into an undeniable attraction. And Harry, with his outrageous stunts and youtube popularity, that something Alex would've never thought she'd go for.

Nothing You've Come To Expect - Alex Turner by SweetDreamsCA
38 parts Complete Mature
Who would have thought, that I'd be here telling the story of this love. Serendipitous. Unespected. A love like a ache in the jaw that made my ordinary life somersault. *Little challenge* find all the songs references 😉 *NOTE: I named my Y/n only way far in the story. I went back and updated with her name in the older chapters. If you see a forgotten "Y/n" that's why! **NEW** Playlist now available! DM me for the Spotify link https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4sr2XpYdtj8C5WoIkdyN9W?si=Gvj14hGxT42zP3-r_l2BNw&utm_source=copy-link ----------------------- The story is set around the Last Shadow Puppets Tour in 2016 and moves towards the Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino era. It mostly follows the real time line, but not completely (ie. concert dates/locations don't always reflect the real ones). Some of the characters are based on real people. Dude, it would be awesome to know them personally but I don't, so their role in this narrative is fictional. While the events are fictious, some elements here and there in the story are inspired by things the characters (mostly Alex and Miles) said/did in interviews or shows.
Forever Night Stand by adelwang
34 parts Complete Mature
My luck with a guy has been sucks for a while. My friend told me that maybe I need to try a new way. I always take everything seriously in relationships. So she suggested that I try a one night stand. Maybe that will break the curse of my love life. So, when the chance comes of course I'm going to try it. But my friend failed to mention: do not have a one night stand with your co-worker who apparently will become your boss for two weeks. Or... do not have a one night stand with someone who can make your heart does a cha-cha dance whenever you see his dimples (this is my weakness) or his cocky smile or his blue eyes... or... um... can I say everything about him? Is it possible? Oh, and top of it, my one night stand trapped (yes trapped) me to come to his family gathering as his girlfriend. Can I handle this hot man? God knows I can't even handle his dimples.

33 parts Complete Mature
**SPOILERS IN DESCRIPTION** Must have read LOVING THE ROCKSTAR first! The man of Emmaline's dreams is on one knee in front of her, offering her the deal of a lifetime--marriage to him, the crooner rockstar of her fantasies. But can she accept? Will she? **** The Eiffel Tower will forever have a new significance for Emma and Leo. They're engaged, and though they have to hide it at first, Leo is ecstatic when he's able to share with the world that he's found the perfect woman. But though she's blissfully happy, Emma can't help but detect all sorts of flaws in her relationship with every passing day of being engaged. She loves Leo, she wants to marry him, so why is he always so moody? Being with him is her biggest dream--one she didn't even realize she had--and yet it's weighing her with doubts and confusion. She never envisioned herself getting married, and this puts Leo through intense mood-swings as they start to plan their celebrity wedding. Adding to her misery, Emma is still slightly haunted by her past with Cameron; and he's always nearby to remind her of it. As Sapphire's personal assistant, he's in her shadow at all times; and Sapphire is Emma's friend and soon-to-be one of her bridesmaids. It seems everywhere she looks, Emma is plagued with questions and concerns, and she doesn't know how to get answers without angering Leo. And the last thing she wants to do is lose his love...

"Are you sure that I don't make you nervous when I get closer to you?" he teased me. Each word he said he took a step closer to me. By now my heart was pounding so loudly that I thought he might be able to hear. Being near him made my thoughts all jumbled up but I wasn't going to accept that, especially not to him. So I stuttered a no. To which he smirked as if he knew I was lying. "Okay, so you don't get goosebumps or shivers when I do this, right?" he murmured as he gently traced my arm. And almost on cue, goosebumps arose where his hand had been on my arm. "Why do you have to lie? I told you I like you and I know that you like me too then why lie?" he asked softly with his eyes staring into mine. Oh, I like him. A lot. But I couldn't succumb, I cannot be in a relationship with my employee that is basically against all the rules. I can't. But my thoughts were lost when he pressed his lips on my cheek very near to my mouth. And I closed my eyes. ---------------- Isabella Anderson is the owner of a famous cafe named 'Sugar & Spice'.

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!
