"I fell in love and I fell in love hard. It was spectacular and magical and perfect. To be in this marvelous bubble, thinking it will never pop.

All my hard work, pushing myself to the limits, I believed it was giving me what I wanted. What I didn't know was it did, but the end result was different.

That's when I saw my path didn't end, it continued and opened my eyes to what love is like. Then my bubble popped. Reality came and there was nothing I could do. I had to make a choice.

To live without you,
or,
For you to live without me."

She had been dating the same guy since she was 5, she planned to attend university, get a culinary degree, open her own restaurant downtown New Orleans, and marry her long time boyfriend. It seemed so simple, laid out, secure. It was what everyone wanted, security and stability; But for Kehlani it was like her head was forced underwater and no one could hear her screams for help to escape her forced fate. That was until her boyfriend asked her out to a basketball game but not just any basketball game but the one that would change Kehlani's life. When Kyle Kuzma laid eyes on the bored looking girl in the stands it was like he couldn't look away. He wondered what about her shoes was more interesting then the game going on. When Kehlani's boyfriend refuses to kiss her on the kiss cam, the team talks Kyle into stepping in and easing her embarrassment.

When Kehlani's boyfriend leaves her at the stadium without a way home and a dead phone she finds herself in a car with Kyle Kuzma and his friends. Kehlani had always felt like she was in cage plunging into the darkness of the water but that night with Kyle she felt the cage temporary lift from the water and the lock on the cage doors open. He gave her something she had never felt before...freedom.

Dancing with the Badboy by footyholic

I was surprised when she ran her hands down my abs, almost to the waist band of my pants. "Mila," I warned, watching her bite back a smile. There was unmistakable tension around us and I had no idea where it came from. Maybe it was the alcohol. I stared down at her, watching the sultry look on her face. "What are you doing to me," I muttered, resting my forehead against hers. I barely had a chance to blink before her lips were pressed against mine. My hands found their way to her hips, gripping them tightly as she tugged at my hair. Spinning her around, I pinned her against the wall. It felt like my lungs were going to burst as I pulled away, breathing hard. Mila gazed up at me, her eyes glazed over and cheeks pink. She reached up, wiping what I'm assuming was her lipstick from my lips. I couldn't help but lean down and press my lips against hers again. It was almost as if I was addicted to the way she fit against my body. "Ajax, we're both drunk," she gasped as I bit down on her ear gently. We could deal with the consequences later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW: Mentions of Anxiety, Depression, and some suicidal thoughts Some Mature content - I'll put a warning before ;) Highest ranking in Romance - #8 12/20 Highest ranking in Dance - #1 12/22

My Girl by anya_jayvyn

Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song." I stare at the ocean as I sing the song that I wrote, something that comes from the darkest place of my heart. "Do you even know how gifted you are?" she whispers. "You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined. No college, let alone a future. Just an image of a wannabe rockstar with tattoed arms and an old guitar. I knew that our story would be no less than that tragic Romeo and Juliet shit the moment I laid my eyes on her, but still, I can't resist her. The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia. I call her my Amy, her name crafted above my beating heart, tattoed on my skin. Amelia Davis is my girl. Mine. And only mine. © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
