Me and Namiko against the world

Amara's POV

As Amara scrolled through her phone, she stumbled upon a picture of her and Hakeem from a recent date night. They were smiling together, looking genuinely happy. Amara hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to share it. Not many people knew about their relationship, and she cherished their privacy. But a wave of warmth swept over her as she realized how much Hakeem meant to her and how proud she was of their bond.

With a smile, she tapped the 'share' button and composed a simple yet heartfelt caption: "Feeling grateful for this incredible man who brings so much love and joy into my life. Here's to many more adventures together ❤️."

After posting, she leaned back against the couch, a sense of contentment washing over her. It felt good to share their happiness with the world, even if just a glimpse. Moments later, Hakeem entered the living room, a curious smile on his face as he glanced at her.

"What's got you smiling so bright?" he asked, sitting down beside her.

Amara turned to him, her eyes sparkling. "I posted a picture of us."

Hakeem's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You did? Are you sure?"

Amara nodded, showing him the post on her phone. "I wanted to share our happiness with everyone. I hope you don't mind."

Hakeem's expression softened as he read her caption. He took her hand in his, squeezing it gently. "I don't mind at all, Amara. I'm honored, actually."

She smiled gratefully, feeling reassured by his response. "I just want people to know how much you mean to me."

"And you mean everything to me," Hakeem replied, his voice filled with sincerity.

They spent the evening wrapped in each other's warmth, basking in the love they shared and the newfound openness about their relationship.

A knot formed in her stomach, and she scrolled through the comments with a mix of disappointment and frustration.

"Hakeem," she said softly, her voice tinged with uncertainty as she showed him the screen.

He glanced at the comments, his brow furrowing. "Ignore them, Amara. They don't know us."

Amara sighed, feeling a pang of hurt. "I know, but it still stings. I thought sharing our happiness would be a good thing."

Hakeem placed a comforting arm around her shoulders. "It is a good thing, Amara. Don't let a few negative comments get to you."

"I won't," she replied, trying to sound more confident than she felt. "It just feels like we're being judged for no reason."

Hakeem nodded in understanding. "Unfortunately, that's how it goes sometimes. But what matters is how we feel about each other."

Amara leaned into his embrace, grateful for his support. "You're right, Hakeem. I shouldn't let them get to me."

"We'll navigate this together," Hakeem assured her, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "Our love is stronger than any negativity out there."

Amara smiled, feeling reassured by his words. Together, they closed the app and focused on the love and happiness they shared in real life, knowing that was what truly mattered.
