The Kissing Game

Bree and Liam Bennett have one thing in common: they can't stand each other. She's the serious, ambitious law student; he's the charming, carefree basketball star. Their witty banter and constant eye-rolling are legendary. But when a game of Spin the Bottle throws them together, one unexpected kiss shatters their carefully constructed animosity and forces them to confront the undeniable chemistry they've both been pretending doesn't exist. Can one kiss truly change everything?

The cafe hummed with the soft sounds of conversation and clinking cups. You sat across from your best friend, Stella, surrounded by textbooks and highlighters, the weight of case law pressing down on you.

Stella groaned, stretching dramatically. "I swear, if I have to go over one more chapter, my brain is going to short-circuit."

You smirked, tapping your pen against your open textbook. "That would be tragic. Who would remind me what Marbury v. Madison was about?"

She rolled her eyes, grinning. "You should know that by now, Bree."

"Doesn't mean I do."

Stella laughed and stood up. "I need a break. Be right back, okay?"

You nodded, watching her disappear towards the back. For a blissful two minutes, you were alone with your thoughts and your studies. Then, the bell above the door jingled, and a wave of loud laughter and familiar voices washed over you. Your stomach dropped.

Please don't see me. Please don't see me. Please...

"Well, well, if it isn't my favorite future attorney."

You squeezed your eyes shut, bracing yourself. When you opened them, Liam Bennett was already making his way towards you, that infuriating smirk in place, about to make your studying session infinitely more annoying.
