She has won everything, except the one title that matters most. At twenty, Alessia Moretti is tennis's quiet inevitability: composed, relentless, and expected to conquer the Australian Open to complete her legacy and claim the world's number one spot. The pressure is suffocating, but she's learned how to survive it. Control has always been her greatest weapon. Carlos Alcaraz is not part of the plan. What begins as shared space and unspoken understanding turns into something far more dangerous in Melbourne: something private, accidental, and impossible to ignore. An affair hidden between matches and media rooms, carried out in glances, late nights, and promises meant to be temporary. They agree it means nothing. They agree it won't interfere. They agree it will end someday. But some distractions don't weaken you. Some make you feel too alive to stop. SHORT STORY! CarlosAlcaraz x fmc Fiction!

In a world where every point can decide a career and perfection is a daily demand, even the smallest distraction can be disastrous. Elena - composed, distant, and painfully professional - knows this better than anyone. Working behind the scenes as part of the medical team for top tennis players, she's learned how to keep emotions in check. Always in the background. Never too close. Rules that are never meant to be broken. Until they are. Carlos Alcaraz - young, unpredictable, electric. Known not just for his game, but for a presence that's impossible to ignore. Even for her. On the surface, they have nothing in common - except the growing proximity that no one is supposed to notice. Too often. Too intense. It starts with fleeting moments. Lingering glances between points, the brush of a hand during a taped wrist, conversations that last longer than they should in the hallway after lights-out. Then a few drinks, a harmless game, and a door that closes behind them. Set against the backdrop of one of the world's biggest tournaments - Wimbledon - this is a story of two people who never planned to fall into each other's orbit. It's not quite love. Not yet. It's tension, raw and electric. It's temptation. And it's the slow realization that some things, once started, are impossible to control. But the closer they get, the harder it is to tell the game from the truth. And when everything starts to spiral like an unforced error under pressure, someone will have to risk something greater than a match. Can you keep your distance when your body remembers every touch? Can you ignore what should've never happened - but did, in a locked room, under cover of night, with someone breathing your name? Can you stay detached when one look is all it takes to lose yourself?

Carmen Sainz never meant to get caught in the spotlight with Spain's tennis superstar. But one photo turns into a rumor, and suddenly she and Carlos Alcaraz are playing the role of the perfect couple - for the cameras, at least. She knows the rules: keep it simple, keep it fake, don't catch feelings. But the longer the act goes on, the harder it is to remember what's real... and what was never supposed to be.

In a town where the high school football team rules the school, Amelia is just another face in the crowd. Sure, her dad is the football coach but Amelia's idea of "Friday night lights" revolves around studying until lights are out. Trying to impress her father who only knows football and her mother's high expectations, Amelia puts her head down and tries her best to satisfy them. After accidentally ending up at a party one night (without her mother's permission of course), Amelia finds herself thrown into the world of the infuriatingly gorgeous yet arrogant Zack Darrington. Zack was never part of a crowd. He's king of the city: the best running back in the state- if not the entire country. Flirtatious, cocky, and a skilled player in all senses, Amelia is not the type of girl he typically surrounds himself with. Everyone knows Zack Darrington. No one knows Amelia Hayes. Football is his world while she wishes it wasn't a part of hers. At first glance, these two couldn't be more different but deep down, they may be more similar than they think.
