And in that moment, I realized something that I've always known deep down in my heart. I finally understand why my eyes would always cling to him in a room, why my mood would always lighten up whenever he was around, why my world brightened up when I met him- why the sun shined brighter, trees and grass were greener, flowers smelled better. Why he makes my world more beautiful simply by existing in it. It's because I'm in love with him. The type of love that you never knew existed until you finally experience it yourself, the type of love that's hard to put into words because it's a love you've never had for anyone else. And never will. - JAMISON MACK ... And in which, Jamison Mack drunkly kisses his very much in love bestfriend, Hayden Zhang. Shouldn't be much of a problem, they both agree to forget about it.

Or in simpler words, a chaotic bisexual pro basketball player who's in love with his playboy footballer bestfriend. highest rankings #1 - interracialbxb #1 - maybesmut #1 - collegebasketball #2 - collegefootball #2 - interracialbxb #3 - lgbtq #3 - interracialbxb #7 - gayromance #13 - interracialbxb

May was thriving in single life, in her own slightly chaotic way. Her ex-boyfriend, Landon, was old news. Long buried under the everyday disasters of twenty-something life, like overdue bills, bad decisions, and pretending she had everything under control. Then, one late-night moment of weakness, she made the digital equivalent of peeking through a window. In her defense, she only meant to scroll. Just a harmless little visit to Landon's Instagram. But harmless turns humiliating when she accidentally likes one of his posts. To cover up the ultimate cringe, May spins a lie the next day when she runs into Landon at work: she has a boyfriend who's basically the Gordon Ramsay of the coffee world. ☕ Except she doesn't. Not even close. But when Landon shows up at her favorite cafe, she panics and improvises, pointing at a clueless barista and calling him her "boyfriend." 😫 Now May is trapped in a web of lies bigger than her Instagram feed - a fake boyfriend, a charming ex who doesn't know the truth, and a cafe guy who has no idea he's part of this disaster. 😅 © SLWrites 2026.
