Alexandra Silence has succeeded in a lot of fields, things like sleeping on all the flat surfaces in her parents house, eating everything in the fridge in one sitting and just barely scraping by as an assistant manager in their family run restaurant. She's certain she's in the wrong line of the work,  if the way to someone's heart is through their stomach she'd be better off performing open heart surgery. The survival rate would be twice as high and her patient would walk away with their life, she can't say the same for anyone she's served food to. 
  
  Her father on the other hand has other ideas and without her knowledge he signs her up to take classes at one of the most elite culinary schools in the world. Now it's up to Alex to either prove him wrong and quite literally crash and burn, or with the help of a few new friends and one special professor prove to herself that outside of women and fan-fiction, cooking is her hidden talent and one true passion in life.

Shocked, Bella stills for a second before she absently blurts out a quiet "Okay" Alexander walks towards her after getting her permission and takes the strings in his hands. As he undoes the crossed pattern, his fingers brush against her skin and almost reveal her generous chest. "W-what are you doing?" She asks in a whisper as she holds the top so it doesn't open completely and reveals herself to him. "I'm fixing it" His deep husky voice only worsens her state and accelerates her heartbeat. ______________________________ What could you expect when the whole college art department is invited to an exhibition of an famous photographer? Some would say a night to pass some hours and enjoy art, some might even say a boring way to pass your Saturday night because the art turned out to be something that they don't like. But for Bella it was all but that. She didn't expect to connect with his art in more ways than profesional. She didn't expect to cry over it because it brought back some memories. But what she definitely didn't expect is an job offer, a sweet male companion and a possible lover. But did these two connect simply because they have same interests? Or did fate tangled her fingers into their lives?

Zee just wanted to survive high school quietly - no drama, no attention. But fate had other plans in the form of Essen, the notorious campus bully who seemed to have made it her life's mission to ruin Zee's peace. What everyone didn't know was that Essen's teasing wasn't fueled by hate, but by something she couldn't admit - not even to herself. Between playful jabs, stolen glances, and a growing ache she couldn't shake off, Essen starts realizing that maybe she isn't trying to break Zee... maybe she's already falling for her. Meanwhile, Zee battles the confusion of hating the one person her heart seems to soften for. A story of chaos, affection, and everything that blurs the line between love and hate - "Essen & Zee" proves that sometimes, the loudest kind of love starts with a shove. ⸻ 📓 Author's Note (2025): Hey there! 💌 Thank you for checking out Space Between Our Silences. I'll be uploading new chapters every Wednesday and Saturday, just enough to keep you guessing, screaming, and maybe even falling in love with these two the same way I did.

I'm just the one typing it all down and shaping it into words, but the heart of this story? It's hers. My Aji💫 Stay tuned, stay thrilled. 🌙✨
HIDDEN AFFECTION by author_aryaa
21 parts Ongoing
A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.

In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA)
Before You Replied by darasstories
24 parts Ongoing Mature
Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.
SHADOWS AND BUTTERFLIES by goodiesinthecloset
21 parts Ongoing Mature
My name is Alexa Fernandez. I used to believe in love-the kind that feels safe, predictable, warm. That's what I had with Steven Cruz. He was perfect. Too perfect. But perfection has a way of hiding its cracks. Behind Steven's gentle smile was a darkness I never saw coming- a truth that would turn my world inside out. Then came Samantha. His cousin. His opposite. She was everything Steven wasn't-wild, unpredictable, and painfully real. With her, I felt things I shouldn't have felt. Things I tried to bury... until they consumed me. Now I'm trapped between two versions of love: One that promises safety, and one that feels like danger-but also, freedom. Because love has consequences. And sometimes, the butterflies that lead you into the light... are the same ones that guide you into the shadows. But in those shadows, I found something else- a truth that was never meant to stay hidden, and a love that refused to die quietly.
