Trapped In Love ✓
"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips.

Sunshine and Her Teddy Bear
Cassie Elwood wasn't built for solitude, yet loneliness had followed her all her life. After her mother's sudden death in a car accident, she was left without stability or a place that truly felt like home. Growing up alone taught her resilience and the habit of expecting very little from others. So when no relative stepped in, she wasn't surprised. What she didn't expect was Ollie O'Hara-her mother's boyfriend. He wasn't family, wasn't obligated, nor prepared to raise a grieving teenager. Yet he chose to stay. To care. To try. Their journey is one of quiet survival: shared routines, late-night kitchen talks, and small everyday moments that slowly stitch two broken lives together. As grief softens into closeness, the line between responsibility and attachment begins to blur. Comfort becomes complicated, and feelings arise neither dares to name. "Sunshine and Her Teddy Bear" is a romantic drama about loss, found family and love that requires patience, restraint, and honesty, because some boundaries exist for a reason. Content Disclaimer: This romantic drama features an age gap but does not romanticize relationships between adults and minors. There is no grooming or manipulation, and no romantic or sexual involvement occurs until the protagonist reaches adulthood. The story consciously explores discomfort, guilt, and emotional conflict, focusing on restraint, responsibility, and moral awareness. It's a psychological and emotional portrayal of love growing in a healthy, respectful way when guided by self-control, integrity, and maturity. I welcome feedback and critique. English is not my first language, so apologies for any mistakes. Thank you for reading♡Complete
