Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

[01/07/2021] - [13/04/2023] "You can't keep going around like a fucking maniac and treating me like shit. That isn't how relationships work," Sophia's voice was havoc as she verbalized her emotions.

Book 2 of the 'Love Unknown' series ____________________________ I look down at him, his eyes begging for the pleasure I had been denying him. In the corner of my eye, I notice his camera still sitting on the table. I smirk and walk over to it, pushing the record button. He looks at me with confusion laced all throughout his features, as I walk back to him his eyes follow me, study me. I run my index finger along his bottom lip as the very unholy things in my mind, break free. "Want to make a movie?" ☯︎☯︎☯︎ Fragile. That's one of the hundreds of thousands of words to describe Hazel Cora Grey. A girl who doesn't know who she is. The one thing that took her mind off of her Eating Disorder had shriveled into nothing and now? She tries her hardest to act like she's fine, like she isn't hurting inside because if anyone knew, questions would be asked. Questions she didn't want to answer. Some would say she's the type of girl to look into a blazing fire, and smile. Fragile. Not like a small, futile flower, but like a ticking bomb waiting for her time to leave her mark. Innocence. A boy who's been trained to think only about his future and career. Taught to never live in the moment for if he got too caught up with it, everything he's ever done and worked for, would have been for nothing. Micah Eugene Bennet had spent his entire life trying to live up to his father's expectations to no avail and well, one person can only take so much pressure and stress before they eventually give up. Or in this case, give in. Innocent. From his rounded glasses, to his hundreds of textbooks, to his untainted mind, the boy was innocent from the inside out. A romance in which two childhood lovers, separated early, find each other once again but this time, things have changed. ☯︎☯︎☯︎ Ratings: #1 showerthoughts - 8|12|2023 #1 secretdating -8|23|2023 #3 youngromance - 9|24|23 #4 teacherspet - 10|05|23 #2 university - 10|09|23 #1 college - 10

That is, until she shows up in front of his apartment in the middle of the night, and shakily utters the words, 'He's missing.' ~ [This is a work of fiction. All events and characters are fake.]
