"You know a good sangria spot?" she asked, lips twitching into a small smirk. Jude smiled, slow and sure. "I do. But you'd have to hit me up first before I start giving away my favourite places." Kamia let out a quiet snort, shaking her head, more amused than she cared to admit. "Slick." He lifted a brow, his grin widening. "A little." ✿.｡.:* ☆:**. 🌸 .:**☆ *.:｡.✿ Kamia is having a year, a big one. With her debut film days away from shooting and a debut album riding on perfection, the rising fan named Pop-piano star has no time for distractions. Especially not from the green-eyed demon of an ex who broke her heart. And especially not the internet suddenly obsessed with shipping her with a man she barely knows. Jude is used to pressure. As Real Madrid's newest midfield darling, he's no stranger to cameras, critics, or complicated women. But when a stolen moment with Kamia spirals into a fan-fueled frenzy, he's forced to confront feelings he swore he'd buried - ones he's not sure he has room for. What starts as friendship, tentative, unlikely, and unexpected begins to unravel everything they thought they knew about love, loss, and healing. Secrets get leaked. Old flames resurface. But amidst it all, they might just save room for love. P.S- Slow burn city was founded here ♥
