Trope: Best friends to Lovers
My best friend~ "This love wasn't easy. But it's always been ours."
Adrian Vale and Iris Quinn~
Best friends since diapers.
One night of heat.
And a slow fall neither of them saw coming.
She's scared to love again.
He's never loved at all.
But if they ruin this - they'll lose everything.
Still Choosing You - because sometimes, love doesn't ask. It just happens.
Adrian: "I don't know when it stopped being just desire... but every time I touch you now, it feels like I'm begging you to stay."
Iris: "I told myself I'd never fall again... and somehow, you became the exception without even trying."
But love is loud - even when it starts in silence.
And when the fear of falling collides with the risk of losing everything...
the only thing left to ask is:
"Would you still choose me, even now?"
✨ A friends-to-lovers, no-going-back kind of romance.
✨ Raw. Lustful. Slow-burning and soul-deep.
Because sometimes, the greatest love stories start the moment you break the rules.
And still... choose each other.

Riley and Devin
"How many romance books do you read?" Devin asks me. I shrug. "I like them," I say. I keep browsing, running my fingers along the spines. "So, you like romance then?" he asks me. I nod. "What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask. I point above my head, my back's pressed against the bookcase. He locks his gaze on mine and reaches over me to grab the book I asked for. "Thanks." I don't move and neither does he. Riley and Devin have been best friends forever-since Kindergarten. It's Senior year of high school, now. And it's always been simple, Riley's got his back, he's got hers. But as life goes on Riley can't help but wonder if maybe he's not just her best friend, if she likes him as possibly something more. As her feelings deepen and become something greater it becomes more evident that she's falling, really hard. No matter how hard Riley tries she can't stop falling, she can't stop from loving him. Even if it tears her to pieces or even if it destroys their friendship. Pretty soon Riley is going to have to choose between walking the safe line of friendship or taking the unpaved path of love. Will she risk everything for love?Complete

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

That One Mistake
There are times when Lena wishes Adrian would just shut up, sit still and play nice. There are also times when Lena wishes for nothing more than for Adrian to just be Adrian: her frustrating childhood best friend. At the ripe age of twenty-something, Lena and Adrian's dynamic is no different than when they were teenagers. Adrian has always been all about the parties, the fun, the travel, while Lena would prefer to sit on a cactus than to be in a room full of strangers. Maybe their clashing personalities should've been an indicator of how badly things would turn out if they decided to cross the line of friendship and enter into a miserable push-and-pull limbo, but it seems that whenever Adrian looks at Lena, all reason leaves her body. Determined not to repeat the mistake of kissing him, Lena tries to push the memory away, only having to deal with Adrian's other shenanigans, such as coming into her apartment uninvited, meddling in her dating life and making a fool of her in front of a large group of people. You know, the usual. But when enough is enough and Lena finally finds the will to take a step back from Adrian's life, two plane tickets to their hometown threaten to dissipate her newfound resolve and thrust her into even more trouble. --------------- WARNING: Strong language.Complete
