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...

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney
47 parts Complete Mature
✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) • Love Triangle (April 2025) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)
The Picture in My Locket by imberryxz
13 parts Ongoing
London's chilly weather has to be one of my favourites. Especially when walking through the streets at night with almost no one around. The silence of the empty city is only heard by one of my ears as I have one AirPod in. I finally go inside the pharmacy, making my way to the hair products aisle. Picking up a vanilla-scented pair of shampoo and conditioner, I head to the self-checkout. I pay for my purchase and walk out the automatic doors, bumping into someone almost instantly. The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground startled me and I look over to the person asking if they're okay, I'm met with the green-eyed gaze of a man who held my arm to help me not fall like the thing that was on his back, which looks like a guitar case... Is it broken?! - This story is based on the song "No One Knows" by Stephen Sanchez featuring Laufey. - Lana decided to enjoy her early 20s as a physical education student and just moved to London, but only knows Charlotte, a girl she met during a trip to the city almost a decade ago. When she arrived Charlotte introduced her to Owen, who has been her best friend since birth. Lana started working as a barista and met Isaac, a man who was classmates with Owen a couple years back, and is also her coworker who seemed to enjoy playfully hitting on her, or making her life a living hell, as she would say. They can't live around each other without their usual bickering sessions that seem to never come to an end, yet, they're in the same friend group. // *I don't write smut, so please don't ask me to :) // 02/01/2025 - #35 friendgroup 10/01/2025 - #27 coworkers 11/01/2025 - #24 barista 10/01/2025 - #23 suggestive 10/01/2025 - #4 gentlelove
Dear Intruder | (Completed) by vineethereader

Could you fall in love with someone you never met, saw or spoke to? Sounds unlikely? *** Ella is an overworked college student whose only plan is to get through her college swiftly & proficiently. Sounds simple enough- but when she comes across a personal diary that sparks her curiosity, it is suddenly proven a little more than a speed bump. Ella is intrigued, maybe even enamored.... But definitely in denial. Hooked by the writer's endearing charm, sharp wit & beautiful penmanship, she begins an anonymous correspondence and with every confession, every single quip and joke, he wins her heart little by little while she loses herself in those letters. Even though she has a pile of college assignments demanding her time, Ella makes it her mission to search for the unknown writer. She defenestrates her logical plans & tortures herself by indulging in a nail-biting & probably a tad bit unhealthy mystery as she sets out on an expedition that would only come to an end when she finds the enigmatic scribbler. And that just might be the most terrifying project she has ever taken on. (FULL SYNOPSIS INSIDE) *************** Highest Ranks: #Prose, #Humor, #Letters,#Anonymous, #Poetic I will be honest, this book is a masterpiece. -Reader The best book of the year! -Reader Cutest book ever! Great depth to the characters. -Reader The storyline is so different from other romance novels. This book is going to stick with me and has become really close to my heart!

Highest Rank: #92 in Short Story (2/12/17) ✨ C O M P L E T E D ✨ Some people meet in the most predictable ways, mutual friends, blind dates, the classic "we were in the same coffee shop" type, you know. But not Elina and Andy. Their story didn't start with soft background music and stolen glances across a crowded room. It started at a loud, chaotic motorcycle convention, where the air smelled like gasoline, leather, and the kind of excitement that makes your heart race for no reason at all. And just like that, their worlds collided. It wasn't love at first sight. It wasn't the kind of moment you see in movies where everything fades into slow motion. No, this was different. It was a challenge, a game, a spark of curiosity that neither of them saw coming. Elina wasn't the type to fall for cocky grins and smooth lines, and Andy? Well, he wasn't the type to be thrown off by a girl who didn't fall for his charm immediately. But somehow, they just clicked. Not because they were "meant to be" in the traditional sense, but because something about them just made sense. They weren't each other's "type." Hell, they didn't even believe in types. But they believed in energy. In connection. In that unexplainable pull toward someone who just gets you, even when they shouldn't. There was no logic to it. No plan. No expectations. Just two people who met, who vibed, and who couldn't stop thinking about each other after that day. Because sometimes, the best stories aren't written in fate's grand design. Sometimes, they happen when you least expect them, messy, unplanned, and impossible to ignore.
