Love, Maybe? by simply_butterflies_

The sound of pencil strokes filled the silence, a quiet rhythm against the weight of unspoken words. "I don't even like him." The sketchbook lay open, pages curled at the edges, filled with lines she never meant to draw. His face stared back at her-smudged, incomplete, yet unmistakably him. She sighed, pressing the tip of the pencil against his sketched smile. It wasn't fair. She turned the page. Now, in a crowded university hallway, he leaned against the wall like he belonged there. "Still pretending you don't care?" Rivan's voice held a smirk, but his eyes said something else. She hated that she knew the difference. "He was my childhood tutor. Now, he's my classmate. If this is fate, I want a refund." A flicker of silver caught her eye-the handmade guitar pick spinning between his fingers. Her guitar pick. She had made it without thinking. Had given it away without knowing. Hadn't expected it to find its way to him. He was laying down, staring at the guitar plectrum (pick) above in his hands. His fingers closed over it. "I wonder if she knows she already picked my heart." The paper crinkled beneath her grip, her unfinished sketch staring back at her. "Tell me, Nitya..." The whisper lingered like an unfinished melody. "What am I to you?" ─── ･｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── ｔｒｏｐｅｓ • Childhood frenemies to lovers. • Friends to lovers. • College mates to lovers. ° He fell first and harder. ° Slow burn. ° Long Distance. ° unrequited ° soft romance ° Bestfriend ArchitectxMusician

Ours To Defy (All Ours, #3) by SoHoAuthor

𝓢𝓸𝔂𝓪𝓷𝓪 ♥︎ I've left the runway behind, but I've never stopped fighting to prove myself in a world that demands perfection. I built my career on creativity and resilience, carving out a name for myself in the unforgiving fashion industry. Now, as a designer, I call the shots. But when my past comes crashing back, I find my focus wavering. Liam Grant, as smug as ever. The British soccer star who almost distracted me once before is suddenly everywhere. But I've got no time for his charm or his smooth talk, no matter how much tension still lingers between us. This island isn't big enough for both of us, and we both know it. 𝓛𝓲𝓪𝓶 ♡︎ I'm used to the pressure of big matches, but running into Soyana again? That wasn't part of my playbook. But apparently, neither was forgetting her. She's even sharper than I remember, tougher, and completely unfazed by me. I've spent my entire career figuring out ways around the toughest defenses, but this might be the hardest challenge yet. But hey, I've never walked away from anything without a fight.

"Hi." The outlines of the words that he's forming with his lips that I can't hear but I so clearly see when he waves a little makes my cheeks heat up, I'm sure he can't see it because of the lighting in here but I feel them getting red. "Hi." I mouth back and smile. I don't know what happened but I got so lost in his eyes that I didn't notice Justin stopping singing and leave the stage until Alex pulled my arm. "Hanna? Wasn't he amazing?! I can't wait until he'll get on after the break!" I turn back to see if the guy is still there... but there is so many people trying to get to the merch stand to get the special event shirt that I can't see him... Why did he look so familiar?

Wanderlust ✓ by AnxietyIsMyWeakness

When introverted Paige Lewis unexpectedly wins a radio contest, she didn't know she would be off to Florida for a week with confident Parker Collins, the star soccer player at her rival high school. The two are forced to attend the Wanderlust music festival together and after they get over the initial dislike for one another, will attraction form? And when they return home to their very different lives, can they find the time for love? ••• I followed Parker down the hall and he unlocked our door, holding it open for me. As soon as the click of the door closed, he cornered me against it, his hands on either side of my head. I held in a breath because of his proximity. "I've been wanting to kiss you since the day I met you," he voiced honestly and nudged his nose against my own. "You taste so good, Paige, you don't even know." I looked away, not being able to handle his words but he quickly brought his index finger under my chin to bring my face back to his.

Destiny Of Threads by aaryaaaaaakikahani

KYUN TUNE MERI FURSAT KI , KYUN DIL MEIN ITNI HARKAT KI ISHQ MEIN ITNI BARKAT KI ,YEH TUNE KYA KIYA When two individuals with starkly contrasting personalities find themselves crossing paths repeatedly, the phenomenon transcends mere chance and ventures into the realm of intrigue, prompting contemplation on the intercourse of coincidence and destiny . The juxtaposition of their traits-one perhaps embodying extroversion and spontaneity, the other exuding introspection and deliberation-creates a dynamic tension that both challenges and enriches their interaction. "I thrive in shadows , where no eyes follow and no expectations linger " "I can't summon the strength to look away-you're too impossible to ignore"
