Proximity Stories

This story is inspired by Rent a girlfriend an anime that I love and cherish so much. But it is all original the only concept I took is the rental. I hope you enjoy it and if you did enjoy it you can check out my canon fanfiction of Rent-A-Girlfriend (the hour between us) For this story, here's a quick summary. Twenty-one days before a meteor strikes Earth, Edith Laurent becomes the most expensive girlfriend alive. She just doesn't know it yet. A top-ranked companion on an app that sells curated romance, Edith has spent years perfecting the art of being wanted incorrectly. Her smile is calibrated. Her warmth is professional. Her real name is buried so deep she barely remembers the sound of it. When the sky announces the end of the world, her booking requests skyrocket - and one offer changes everything. Dylan Vale is too beautiful, too wealthy, and too lonely to make sense. The heir to a global empire, he asks for her remaining time through a contract generous enough to erase her family's debt and protect her mother even if the world ends. He also writes in an unconditional exit clause. She can leave at any moment. The payment remains guaranteed. She never signs. Instead, she lets him take her across the world. It stars with A private yacht where the crew watches Casablanca and remembers their dead. Then she agrees for one day at a time. Every day, Dylan learns something money cannot buy. Every day, Edith reclaims a piece of herself she thought she'd sold. But the meteor is coming. And the one thing Dylan wants most - her real name, spoken freely - is the one door she must open herself. A sweeping, intimate story about the difference between being purchased and being chosen, the courage of wanting something while there is still time, and two people who discover that love, when it's real, arrives without a contract.

She was his prisoner. He was her enemy. Neither could walk away. Rusela has every reason to hate the Leper King. He destroyed her home. He locked her in a cell. She wants only to escape. But the King refuses to let her go. Not because she is a spy. Not because she is a healer. Because when she looks at him, she does not flinch. She curses him. She fights him. She saves his life. And slowly, hatred becomes something else.

Another Romantic comedy Tavish wanted one simple solution to one complicated problem. What he got instead was Unnati. A zoology student with an overactive imagination, zero hesitation, and enough energy to turn even the most straightforward plan into complete chaos. Suddenly, two strangers are forced into a situation neither of them is fully prepared for. Armed with nothing but a notebook full of answers, a collection of questionable ideas, and a growing list of things that can go horribly wrong, they must convince everyone around them that everything is perfectly normal. It isn't. Because pretending is easy. It's the not pretending that becomes dangerous. A slow-burn romance full of humor, family meddling, unforgettable characters, and the kind of connection that sneaks up on you when you're busy looking the other way.

Two World Champions. One absolute mastermind. Zero rules. On paper, the 2027 Mercedes-AMG Petronas lineup is a flawless masterpiece. You have the quiet, stoic, reigning World Champion Oscar Piastri. You have the twenty-year-old racing prodigy, the absolute beast on tarmac, Andrea Kimi Antonelli. And pulling all the strings from the pit wall is the savage engineering genius who commands the garage: Genevieve Piastri. They call them the Dream Team. They have the highest ceiling in motorsport history-but behind closed doors, the empire is dangerously fragile. With the FIA throwing a massive wrench into the sport with chaotic new battery deployment regulations, Genevieve is forced to push her power units to a lethal 415 km/h limit, engineering completely separate, tailor-made chassis for two alpha drivers who refuse to lift off for each other. One wrong move, one clipped sector, and Toto Wolff's millions go up in smoke. But the real threat isn't just internal. Down the paddock lane, a fiercely dominant Red Bull Racing is topping every practice session. Max Verstappen is back with a ruthless vengeance, armed with a brilliant, badass new lead aerodynamicist. Something about their sudden leap in downforce feels incredibly fishy-and Genevieve is determined to uncover the truth before they steal Oscar's crown. Yet, the most toxic battle isn't happening at 370 km/h. It's happening under the heavy silence of the garage. Kimi still holds a deep, aching heartbreak for the woman of his true love- Gigi. And despite the unspoken vows they made in a Qatar hospital room, Oscar's quiet, possessive intensity is reaching its absolute limit. He can't accept the ghost of Kimi's feelings lingering in his garage. They promised to protect Kimi's heart, but in a world fueled by jealousy, speed, and corporate warfare... someone is bound to crash. Equal power. Unequal hearts. Let the battle begin.

❝निगाहें तेरी, चाँदनी जैसे, ❝Your gaze, like the moonlight, हर पल रोशन, हर पल प्यासी। Ever radiant, ever longing. एक झलक में, दुनिया भूल जाऊँ, In just one glance, I forget the world, इन आँखों की गहराई ऐसी।❞ Such is the depth of your eyes.❞ 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭.

Betrayed by the man she once trusted, she's spent the last four years shielding her heart, focusing on the only thing that matters-her daughter. But when her father forces her into an arranged marriage to clean up the family's scandals, she finds herself bound to a man who is everything she swore to avoid. Lakshay Malhotra has built his empire on control, logic, and ruthless ambition. Marriage was never in his plans-until an irresistible opportunity landed at his feet. Marrying Shreya gives him the one thing money can't buy: an unshakable seat among India's elite. Their arrangement is simple. No emotions. No expectations. No love. She's his wife on paper, nothing more. He's her last mistake, or so she tells herself. But in a game where power and passion collide, the hardest rule to follow is the one that forbids them from falling in love.

Salvatore on the other hand has been actively trying to look into her eyes, get a read on her, figure her out.

She is forbidden temptation. A pretty little ballerina with fire in her veins, she is everything Rafael has spent his life avoiding. He shouldn't want her, let alone crave stolen touches.

Tessa Bennett only wants to thank the man who helped her grandmother get to the hospital. She does not expect that man to be Evan Hayes-the ex she left years ago, the man she never really forgot, and now her brother's captain. The reunion is bad enough. Then a storm, a damaged condo, and a too-convenient lease leave Tessa with nowhere to go except Evan's villa at Blackstone Grove. Suddenly, the man she has spent years avoiding is across the hall, cooking in the kitchen, remembering her favorite snacks, walking the dog they once raised together, and looking at her like the past is still unfinished. Under one roof, distance becomes impossible. Family pressure pushes Tessa toward a blind date. Jealousy cracks Evan's careful control. And every ordinary moment-grocery runs, late-night talks, shared concern, the quiet intimacy of being cared for-pulls them closer to the truth they have both tried not to touch. But history still stands between them. Tessa was the one who left. Evan is the one who was left behind. And wanting each other again is the easy part compared to risking the same heartbreak twice. Because this time, love is not just about falling back together. It's about choosing to stay when staying is the hardest thing of all.
