she softly tugged at the hem of my shirt to pull me even closer. We were so close our chests are almost touching, her fingers gently tracing across my jawline "I hope you're not forgetting that we re currently at Walmart" I murmured "I'm not - it's not like we are doing anything" she said below a whisper, I chuckled at this "Why do I have this slight feeling that you like to tease me" "Maybe cause I do" she replied, her hands moving from my jawline to my chest, laughing lightly I placed my hands on her waist. "Yeah I noticed" Mainly in a males POV Started: 13.5.21 #1 in wmbw 19.12.21 #1 in bwwn 15.12.23

xolani and two have been each other's person since they were kids running around third ward and trading inside jokes nobody else got. over a decade of history between them: sleepovers, middle of the night phone calls, the kind of comfort within each other that made everything else feel like silly noise. they know each other in that deep, embarrassing way: each other's nervous habits, the laughs that don't come out right, the silences that don't need filling. it was never supposed to be more than that. but somewhere between growing up and growing into themselves, the lines started blurring. xo starts noticing things she has no business noticing; the way he looks at her when she's not paying attention, the way his hand always finds her without thinking, but she buries it. they've got something too good to gamble with, and she knows it. what she doesn't know is that two's been fighting the same feelings too. longer than she has, way quieter than she'd ever expect from him. he's been loving her in the margins for years. carefully, willfully, without ever letting it show. until one night it just... slips out. i've loved you in quiet ways for so long... i'on know how to be anything else when you around, xo. and now it's out there. sitting between them, too big to ignore and too damn real to take back. they've survived everything together: loss, distance, the messy in between years of figuring out who they were as they grew up. but this? this is the one thing that could actually change everything. the question isn't whether they love each other-they're both well aware of the answer to that. whether they're brave enough to stop pretending they don't, though, is up to nobody but them.

"I'm not a man of many words... солнышко," he said softly, the Russian endearment curling off his tongue like smoke-sweet, but choking. "Come closer." She hesitated, her body trembling, tears spilling soundlessly down her cheeks. He watched her, the way fear made her small, fragile-beautiful in a broken way. She rose, slow as a confession, and walked to him because something in his smile promised shelter and tasted like a lie. He leaned in, close enough to feel his breath, and I saw the patient cruelty behind his eyes. "Now," he murmured, his voice turning colder, heavier, "tell me... what did you do to make me want to cut your leg?" The room went still, except for her quiet gasps. He tilted his head, studying her face as if searching for the moment she would break. ............................................................... Linda finally gets her big break - a visa sponsorship job at the Lincoln Foundation. She's placed with the Adams family, a kind couple who welcome her with open arms and treat her like the daughter they never had. Their home is beautiful, their hearts warm, and for the first time, Linda feels a sense of belonging. But everything changes the night of a business party hosted by Mr. Adams. There, she meets Arseny - and from that moment, her dream life slowly turns into a haunting nightmare.
