Nalah is what most people call a trying young girl. She tries her best to work hard in her Niche, hoping that one day she'll accomplish all she needs to live comfortably. She finds herself in a bind when she's left stranded one night. Scared and alone she tries to reach out to everyone she possibly can, fortunately in the midst of her distress comes what some may call a 'knight in shining armor', or in this case a Handsome Rasta man in a Porsche. She immediately recognizes this knight as Skip Marley, the Grandson of reggae legend Bob 'Skippa' Marley. As the story progresses, circumstances bound them together but Nalah is adamant that she won't let herself fall for his charms. While Skip himself is unsure if what he feels for her are real feelings-or just...infatuation. As time progresses they realize that being together feels natural. The connection between them is undeniable, but defining their feelings? That's the real challenge. They avoid labels to protect themselves, but are there deeper issues keeping them apart? You'll just have to read to find out.

❛𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒆?❜ he asked, voice low like it wasn't meant for nobody but her. 𝒛𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐡 didn't speak, just tilted her head a little and stepped in close. she traced one of the tattoos on his arm, finger light like a whisper...when she finally looked up, slow and lazy, doe eyes glinting beneath her lashes--she kissed the corner of his mouth. once, twice--then pulled back. 𝒐𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢 smirked. ❛𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒔𝒐.❜ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ She doesn't speak-not out loud, not anymore. Zariah Hart's been quiet since the night she lost everything, and moving to The Palisade at Skyview Apartments was supposed to give her a fresh start. No expectations. No questions. Just peace. But peace gets complicated when a man like Omarion Jordan starts showing up in it. He's nothing like she expected. Tatted, quiet, with eyes that read people better than they speak. A mechanic with a past he doesn't explain-and a presence that says more than his mouth does. He doesn't ask about her silence. She doesn't flinch at his reputation. Somehow, that's enough. What starts as simple glances turns into shared space. What feels like comfort turns to something neither of them planned for. But Atlanta doesn't forget what people try to bury. And sometimes, the loudest truth is the one you never say out loud. 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓
