Crazy Little Thing Called Love

2021

The crazy thing about love is, you never know when it will show up and slap you in the face. I wasn’t looking for love when I met Christopher. To be honest I don’t know if that is his real name. I didn’t give him my real name when we met at a club in New York City, celebrating me getting into design school and finally getting out of Pine Grove. It was one hot night. But that is just it, it was supposed to only be one night. I never thought I would see him again. I sure as hell didn’t expect him to come bursting through my dressing room door in Pine Grove. The world only knows me as Derek Fox, the new king of the Soap Opera world. I wasn’t expecting to get the attention that I have. I can’t go anywhere without someone recognizing me. So, it was refreshing when I met Sarah and she had no clue who I was. To her I was just Christopher, the guy who could give her multiple orgasms. We spent an incredible night together and then she disappeared as quickly as she came into my life. No one was more shocked than me when I found her at the Pine Grove Galleria. That’s the crazy thing about love, it will always find you when you least expect it. Welcome back to the 80’s baby. Put away that Aqua Net and slip into something a little more comfortable with one of these twelve couples as they fall in love in Pine Grove.

She was a stunner and way out of his league but when she puts in a job application, he discovers there's much more to her than movie nights for one. Lizzie adored romance movies, probably because her real life love life was seriously depressing. She had big dreams of becoming a screenwriter and a part time job at the video rental shop meant free rentals. When the cute guy with an attitude problem behind the counter, begins to let his guard down; Lizzie finds herself center stage in a whirlwind romance that could rival any of her beloved romance movies.
