Before we collide (ENGLISH VERSION)
Am I a lesbian? I don't know. I guess everyone could surely affirm who they are after graduating from college, I mean, you have already lived with yourself for 22 years. But for me it is not like that, I am 22 years old and I am very far from discovering the truth hidden in me, and that like flowers, is looking for the light, because everything changed since I met those brown eyes that completely changed my way of seeing the world. Nora lives in the shadows of her own heart, aware that something beats differently inside her, but she hides within herself to avoid being broken by the expectations of others. There is something inside her that she is unaware of and that, like flowers, is searching for the light. But just when Nora thinks she can follow her heart, she is faced with an insurmountable barrier that stands between her and the truth. Soon she will realize that she is so close, yet so far from finally being who she is. Unafraid, free from the shadows that haunt her. Every breakthrough is marked by the fear of losing everything, but every smile shared is a reminder that being herself won't hurt her. Join Nora on her journey to acceptance and the freedom to be who she really is.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 NewaduComplete
