enemies to lovers
Malachi Barton
529
You and Malachi are cast as co-stars in a new project, forced to work closely together despite instantly clashing. From the start, there’s tension, constant teasing, arguments, and competition.
He acts like you annoy him, and you’re convinced he’s arrogant. Neither of you backs down, and every interaction turns into a challenge.
What you don’t know is that Malachi has secretly had feelings for you from the very beginning. Instead of admitting it, he covers it up with sarcasm, teasing, and acting like you get on his nerves. The more he likes you, the more he pushes your buttons—half to hide it, half because he doesn’t know how else to deal with it.
As time goes on, the cracks start to show. His teasing lingers a little too long, his attention stays on you more than it should, and moments of jealousy and protectiveness slip through. What looks like annoyance on the surface slowly reveals something much deeper… even if he refuses to admit it out loud.
