Sometimes, love takes a little time.

Tina had lost her way. Become cynical and insular, avoiding other people at all costs. Life had carried her along on a never-ending wave of apathy and she couldn't work out how to hold her head above the water.

Entering college had become her last, fruitless chance to make something of her life, but she doesn't know what she wants from the institution. If she wants anything at all.

When her English tutor becomes ill, she meets Dawn, a substitute teacher and in a few, short, weeks, Dawn shows Tina something she can believe in. Something that can catch her mind, while Dawn catches her heart.

As their lives take them both in very different directions, Tina and Dawn come into contact over and over again as the years pass by. But will they ever find a time where their journeys bring them together permanently in a romance over the course of decades?

Risk it All [GxG] by Darkest_starr
45 parts Ongoing Mature
Erin 'cheated' after I risked everything that I have, turning my back from my family for choosing her over them and we were happy for 2 years but one day everything changed. She changed, and it broke me in a way I could never ever fathom. Then she left me when I needed her the most.... It took me all the impossibility to pick up my broken pieces, glued it together but when she came back, one thing I promise myself, to never ever again, risk it all.

Sometimes two souls that belong together are so afraid of the connection, that they drift apart. I hope you all enjoy this story and don't hate me for the rollercoaster that you're about to ride ☺️ 18++

My lips part slightly, as I watch her move her body to the rhythm. She runs her hands through her hair as she moves her body sensually slow with her eyes closed. Throwing her head back she brings her hands lower, gliding them across her neck and then chest. Once she opens her eyes and makes eye contact with me...fuck! -------------------------- Chloe is a lovely 19-year-old photography student that has taken an interest in the boy next door. It's a risk wanting to cross the line between friends to lovers, are you willing to take it or not? Can you handle the rejection if that's the outcome? What if you're the one doing it? Are you strong enough to break someone's heart? Ian is a lonely 19-year-old university student that has no interest in meeting new people. His tough upbringing makes it difficult for him to maintain friendships and the concept of love is difficult for him to grasps. After all, how can someone understand something they never felt before? Are you willing to stay friends with him even after he lets you in? If he shows you his world, would you show him yours? #193 in romance {3/2/2022}

Two girls. At school they're total opposites. The cheer captain and the loaner geek. But at home, life isn't all as it's seems. And one teacher, and their relentless assignments, bring them closer together. *** "You missed me?" I ask as if it's such a shock because to me it is. I'm a nobody. "Hm." She hums with a nod, "I didn't really know how to ask you if you wanted to hang out again, and well, thanks to my fucked up life, here we are, I found an excuse." "You do realise you can just ask me?" I'm a hypocrite, I couldn't do it either. "I know, but honestly, you kind of intimidate me and I just kinda thought maybe just a small part of you thought it was just about the projects."

Taylor Ferguson & Darko Ulyanov, two closeted best friends with unrequited feelings for each other, decide to come clean before high school ends. With problems in either person's lives, will coming out be as easy as they think? ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ♫ A Wattpad Featured Story (2018) ♫ The Wattys™ Longlisted (2018) ♫ Winner of 14 awards--more details inside! ♫ #3 in #Love out of 1.8 million stories (9/4/2019) ♫ #1 in #GayLove out of 25.3 thousand stories (9/1/2020) ♫ Featured on 'Best of Wattpad Outreach Ambassadors' reading list ♫ Book 1 of the True Colours Collection ♫ CW: Family death, homophobia, racism, dementia ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ [Longer Blurb] Taylor and Darko, Darko and Taylor: Two lifelong best friends. The two have their differences - Taylor's a musical geek, a natural talent with the piano, and Darko's a gifted dirt-bike enthusiast - but they both share a life-changing secret. Taylor's bisexual, Darko's gay, and they are both secretly in love with each other. Over the years, the two have suppressed their feelings, cruising through high school. While it's been easy presenting as macho straight dudes, both boys are sick of the façade, each toying with the idea of coming out in their own unique ways. It's never that easy, though. They're both entangled in two complicated webs--one filled with grief and guilt and another filled with lies--and both have got to navigate through them before either can find the true happiness they seek. Sometimes, however, the silky threads of the web are more comforting than the unknown abyss below. Will they come clean about their feelings? Or will they keep a straight face until the very end? ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ This story is exclusive to my Wattpad and Patreon pages.

"I wish for once, just for once... people stop getting in the way between... us. I know it's too much to ask, but can it happen?" "I don't know... I really don't know..." "I wish it was like that." "I wish that too. I'm longing for that." Her trembling lips came close to mine as she gently caressed my cheek. The tips of our noses touched and I felt our breaths intertwine. We kissed, it begins slowly, with a soft touch of the lips, gradually intensifying as we both drawn closer. Her warm, wet body against mine... She probably had no idea- but everything she does blows me away. I feel helpless... How could an emotion so strong, so overwhelming and so unattainable be wrong? After all, isn't that all we seek? A thrill, a look, a touch that makes us feel good, that makes us feel something...

After breaking up with her long-term girlfriend and watching her parents divorce over the summer, all her passion disappeared, including her passion for science that got her into her microbiology Ph.D. program. When a new roommate moves into the apartment, Yeju recognizes her as more than just a familiar face; she is an enemy that needs to be chased out of her life. Lia Choi does not need love. Her parent never gave her any, and confessing to her childhood best friend over the summer only caused a fall out.

Unfortunately, her research mentor turns out to be her new roommate. And she is hell bent on ruining Lia's life. Tension escalates both at home and in the lab, but the more they work together, the more they realize: they have a common goal, and they need each other to achieve that.
