Citylove Stories

Mae has always believed love should feel like poetry-soft, certain, and written just for her. But life has taught her otherwise. Between chasing her dreams and holding herself together in a city that never slows down, love is the last thing she expects to find-until Adam. Adam is everything she didn't plan for. Steady where she is restless. Guarded where she is open. And somehow, in the quiet spaces between their conversations, he begins to feel like home. But timing is a fragile thing, and love... even more so. As past wounds resurface and choices demand more than just feelings, Mae and Adam must decide- is love enough when everything else is uncertain? Or will they become just another almost story?

Theo Laurent, the boy who changes your life. (Inspired by Drew Starkey.) My mom and I run a small family-owned store in a quiet California neighborhood, just outside a city I've always longed to be part of. My life is comfortable, predictable, suffocating in ways I can't quite explain. The store, my mom, and a few familiar faces are the only things keeping me here. Until I meet him. What starts as something small quickly turns into something neither of us can ignore. We make each other want more-more freedom, more life, more than the version of myself I've been stuck in. But his life is already planned for him. His family expects him to marry someone of their choosing before his twenty-second birthday. Someone he doesn't love. And me? I was never supposed to be part of the equation. But maybe this was all a beautiful accident meant to happen.

Every night, she stood in the light. And every night, he watched from the dark. What began as a passing glance from one apartment window to another soon turned into something far more dangerous, something silent, intimate, and impossible to stop.

If you asked Mama, our story started with inconvenience. I was the kind of person who ran toward chaos, laughter and stories waiting to happen. Murari is well... the kind who never ran at all. Somehow, we still met in the middle. I always thought love would feel like adventure. I didn't expect it to feel like coming home next door. I thought peace meant silence. I liked predictable days, quiet evenings, and uncomplicated people. Then Rumi moved next door and ruined all three. Loving Rumi wasn't a decision I made. It was something that happened while I was busy trying to stay unaffected. Because sometimes love doesn't arrive in perfect harmony...it grows in contrast.

Heels clicking on the Manhattan sidewalk, I stride through the cold December night, wrapped in a coat that screams luxury, the irony of it all but I suppose there are some things I can't give up even though I don't like wealthy people, a full-length white fur that hugs my frame like a second skin. The fur sways lightly with each step, catching the glow of the streetlights as they battle the shadows of the towering skyscrapers. The icy wind bites at my cheeks, but I don't flinch. My ash blonde hair peeks out from beneath a vintage ushanka my boots sleek, black, and impossibly high-make every step a declaration. They're the kind that could crush egos and carve paths through the kind of chaos only Manhattan knows how to create. The streets are alive, buzzing with the energy of tourists, holiday shoppers and late-night dreamers, but I'm in my own world, caught between the suffocating weight of the story I'm chasing and the thrill of knowing I'm on the brink of something monumental.

A love story of growth, challenges, and connection amidst ambition. Silvia X Carlos

He knows who I am. He has seen my face millions of times and has even met me. He thinks I'm a beast, some one who is angry all the time at anything and everything I come across. Never willing to accept anything. But he doesn't know who I really am-or was for that matter. I used to be my own Cinderella and fix my mistakes with my own kindness. Accept others no matter size or shape. I learned to put others first even if that meant I came last. But I was cursed with what I loved. What I worked so hard for-to build even. But this time I built my walls too strong. Too high. And now it's time for him to take them down. Copyright 2015 (c) loveanne16
