⋆.ೃ࿔*:･⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

REBECA MARTINEZ never expected her life would become so entangled with a customer she barely knew. A California transplant and coffee lover, she worked the morning shifts at The Bean Box, a cozy corner café with a steady stream of regulars. Her life was simple—pouring drinks, greeting customers, slipping into the familiar rhythm of espresso machines and the comforting hum of caffeine-fueled conversations. It was nothing glamorous, but after moving to the Outer Banks to start fresh, it was exactly what Rebeca needed.

THEN, ONE DAY, Rafe Cameron walked in. Sun-bleached hair and that easy, reckless grin, he was the type that practically radiated danger. Rebeca knew about Rafe's reputation—everyone did. The stories of his family wealth, the parties, the trouble. He was a Kook through and through, the kind of guy her mom would have warned her about. But for all the warnings and her best intentions, she couldn't help but notice him.

THE FIRST TIME he ordered from her, it was an espresso—no cream, no sugar, as dark as his stare. "Don't screw it up," he joked with a hint of that smirk that put her on edge. She handed him the drink, feigning indifference. "No promises," she shot back, surprised at her own audacity. Rafe's eyes lingered on her, a touch longer than necessary, and for just a second, she felt the spark of something she couldn't quite name.

FOR WEEKS, he kept coming back, always ordering the same drink. It became a ritual, Rafe and his espresso, Rebeca and her feigned indifference. But each day, their banter grew easier. Sometimes he'd let slip a joke or flash a surprisingly genuine smile. And little by little, she began to realize there was more to him than the Kook label or the bad-boy mystique that followed him.

IN THE MIDST of his complicated life and her own quest to keep a low profile, Rebeca found herself drawn into his world bit by bit. Each morning became less about coffee orders and more about glances that lingered, fingers that brushed by accident, unspoken words that hovered in the space between them. She knew it was a dangerous game. Rafe Cameron was a storm waiting to happen, a tide that could easily sweep her under.

NOW, as summer's end looms and the easygoing mornings grow numbered, Rebeca faces a choice: keep playing it safe or allow herself to be drawn into Rafe's orbit, no matter where it leads. With each shared smile, each exchange of secrets, she realizes that even if it ends in heartbreak, maybe—just maybe—it's worth the risk.

i can't deny it, i am in my active era – dare to say fucking finally !!!
