Kiana Brooks and Devontae Carter have two things in common.

    1. Wanting to pursue their careers. 
    2.Romantic relationships are not worth risking it.

As a part time waitress and full time psychology student. Kiana Brooks has her mind set on one thing. Graduating college. After being put in ICU due to nearly losing her life because of an abusive ex boyfriend, she has no interest in anything besides her academics.

Devontae Carter knew from the moment he learned how to dunk an orange, Spalding basketball that is his destiny was to carry on the Carter family legacy. After suffering third-degree burns from his previous relationship, he knows better than to let anyone get too close for comfort.

Needing to secure his spot into the 2021 NBA draft , Deondre can't afford to let himself get distracted. After his dream was so close to being taken away once before, he knows that no relationship is worth the trouble or the time. His only intention is to prove himself the best in the one thing he's ever known: basketball.

However with their history and with the sexual tension building up, how can they stay true to their promises of not wanting a relationship after one drunken, passionate night together? After they both were unlucky in love, will they risk it all in hopes of having it all?

[COMPLETE] Soz this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

SOPHIE BROOKS: Party, hook-up, hangover, repeat. I don't do rules, responsibility, or monogamy. So when the chance to sleep with the hottest Olympian swimmer in the country presents itself, you can be damn sure I take it. And sneak out before he wakes up the next morning. This has been my way of life for years, and nothing has challenged it. Until him. Charming, ambitious, he draws me in and then refuses to leave. He's persistent, annoyingly so, keeps coming back like a damn boomerang. And he's getting a little too close, asking a little too many questions. Questions I refuse to answer. Some things are just supposed to stay forgotten. JAYDEN SENNELS: Swimming is my life. I basically breathe water. Growing up the way I did, going to the Olympics seemed like an unattainable dream. But here I am, just fresh out of my first games, and I messed up. Big time. Everything was riding on me doing well. Failing wasn't an option. Now I have one last year at college to redeem myself. Enter her. Tall, confident, she seduces me, refuses to tell me her name, and has me waking up to an empty bed. She is an enigma, and there is most definitely something she's not telling me. From the moment I saw her, I knew. This woman is trouble in high heels. She will destroy me. And I am going to love it. πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ WARNING: Strong language and sexual content.

ATTENTION: YOU MUST READ FRESHMEN YEAR FIRST! Freshly new nineteen year old, Shai Carter, is back with even more madness. Entering his sophomore year of college, Shai returns with an "I don't care" attitude that surely raises some eyebrows and stirs up unnecessary conflict. Matters become worse when his mother, Allison, tries to find her way back into his life. He didn't know her true intentions for being back or whether she was going to stay around for once. He did know one thing surely, he wasn't going to allow anyone or anything interrupt his ongoing peace of mind. He was staying true to himself, avoiding all drama and bullcrap that people could possibly pull on him. That included the ones he loved. But drama seems to always find him. She didn't think her second year would be like this but it was something. Eighteen year old, Desdemona Young, came back with a fresh new demeanor and confidence. She was claiming this year as hers with no drama. At least, that's what she thought. With the drastically new unpleasant attitudes and people that's been lingering around, Dess wasn't sure if she could handle relationships, school, and her social life all at once. There was one thing she made sure of, life had its ups and downs, but it's up to the person to continue the fight. Would she be willingly to continue when all things fail? Model. Wife. Entrepreneur. Allison Carter-Williams had many talents and skills. But, one that she lacked was being a mother. Missing majority of Shai's life placed a barrier between mother and son that was too hard to piece back together. But with free time this new year, she was using it wisely. Somewhat. With the thoughts of wanting to patch things up with her son, Allison is met with multiple never-ending issues and halts in her mission. She just wanted one thing...a relationship with her child, but that seemed too impossible with secrets and lies she's still holding to. October 18, 2023 - August 22, 2024

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. π”Ήπ• π• π•œ βžƒ 𝕠𝕗 βžƒ - β„‚π• π•žπ•‘π•π•–π•₯𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.
