The Guy in My Spanish class by molliepollie2

This time, I can't help but flinch as he touches me and pulls the other strap down .. baring my other shoulder to his eyes. "Anthony .. you can't say those things. We .. we're supposed to be best friends." As I try to reason with him, he begins to kiss my shoulder .. making the words come out so much more weaker than intended. Anthony stays quiet after what I say, or rather he ignores me, instead using his other hand to play with the skin on my stomach exposed from the top. "I know .." He trails off. I hold my breath, anxious as I wait to hear what he's going to say next. "But I genuinely don't know if that's enough for me anymore .." Anthony moves my hair to side, and the words he speaks are paired with a slow kiss to the nape of my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again.

Winners Don't Have Bad Days (Watty 2020 Winner, Romance) by DomiSotto

When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem.

What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED. First Published: August 19, 2019 Trigger warning: This story contains themes of eating disorders and body image insecurity (male).

His once-close friendships have started to crumble, leaving him feeling isolated and alone. At the same time, his romantic relationships have also taken a downturn, creating a sense of heartbreak and confusion. As a result, he often finds himself questioning what his future holds. He struggles with feelings of uncertainty and doubt, wondering if there's any hope for brighter days ahead. Soren had been living what many would call his best life for as long as he could remember. Each day unfolded with the warmth of strong friendships, laughter echoing through his home, and a comforting sense of stability. Yet, despite this picture-perfect existence, he couldn't shake the feeling that something essential was absent. There was a lingering sense of incompleteness as if he were missing a crucial piece of the puzzle that would elevate his life from great to extraordinary. What, or who, could fill that void and truly allow him to feel like he was living the dream? The two crossed paths on an ordinary school day as they walked through the halls, surrounded by the sounds of chatter and footsteps. Their minds wandered - what would happen next? Would they simply part ways, or would this spark lead to something more significant?

"Because I don't know how to exist in a world where you're not mine." She inhaled shakily, crossing her arms as if trying to shield herself from the weight of my words. "That's not love, Devon. That's obsession." I stepped closer, my hands framing her face gently, forcing her to look at me. "Then let it be obsession. Let it be whatever the fuck it is, but don't you dare tell me you don't feel it too. _____ Join Evanly and Devon as they navigate the thin line between lust and love, desire and loyalty, in a story where passions ignite and hearts are tested.

After all those years, what remained was just a shell of a human being. Dragging his life, one day at a time, because of the promises he made to his mother.

Will they be able to correct their mistakes and make up for the lost time? Most importantly, will they be able to move on from what transpired all those years ago? Read to find out.
