Aporia (noun): Something that cannot be fully resolved.
Lexi is back at square one. Back at home, broke, depressed... and in love with her best friend.
Starting adulthood feels no different to being a teenager. Except it's more expensive, more complicated, and the man she's in love with is a REAL adult. He's 32, and she is being painfully reminded that she is only 20.
Kevin doesn't care that she's only 20, he wants her.
Bad timing, other love interests, miscommunications, and the past almost stop them from finding out the truth.
Almost.
Kevin is sure that Lexi shouldn't want him, but is intent on making sure she does.
He always gets what he wants.
Lexi is still finding her way, but Kevin is set in his.
She takes one step forward and gets thrown two steps back.
She doesn't know what she wants anymore.
She doesn't know who she is anymore.
And maybe she doesn't know who Kevin is anymore.
Maybe she doesn't care.
This is not the love story you think it is.

Facade Of Perfectionism
'Love is like a child, That longs for everything it can come by' -William Shakespeare _______________________________________________________ Maya Matthews is the description of perfection, or as she has been addressed. She excels in every field she steps her foot into, be it from her perfect grades to being the best daughter a parent could ask for, you name it. Her tenderness is what attracts every guy's attention. She seems to have everything she could ask for. What could possibly be wrong with her near to perfect life? Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Maya has her demons that she desperately attempts to hide from the world that not a single soul knows about. Shawn Daniels is the perfect storm and the missing puzzle in Maya's life. He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712Complete

Kissing My Ex ✔
Guardians of Freecaster High #1 "That doesn't make any sense. You were the one who left me. You didn't care anymore." "If I didn't care, Alexis, then why is it I can't touch another girl unless I'm imagining you?" He pushes against me, trapping me against the wall, his minty beer breath skating across my lips. "J-Jace, you don't have t-to do this," I stammer, already losing the fight as my body melts against his. Jace's hand moves to trace his thumb across my bottom lip.

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗲 𝗔𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁・❥・Maddy Perez & Nate Jacobs, Euphoria
"𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛. 𝑆ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠𝑛'𝑡." Iris has always known how to survive. At eighteen, she's everything East Highland thinks she is-reckless, untouchable, the girl with a reputation she doesn't bother correcting. She laughs louder, bites back harder, and never lets anyone get close enough to see what's underneath. By day, she's just another senior counting down the days until graduation. By night, she becomes someone else entirely-someone who dances for money, not attention. Someone who does whatever it takes to keep a roof over her head and her little sister safe. No one knows the truth. Except Maddie. Maddie Perez has always been there-closer than anyone, closer than Iris ever lets herself think about. Their friendship has never had boundaries. It's messy, magnetic, and blurs lines Iris refuses to define. Because defining it would mean risking it. And then there's Nate Jacobs-the one habit Iris never managed to break. Toxic, consuming, and impossible to ignore, he knows exactly how to pull her back in. With him, it's chaos. It's fire. It's everything she's learned to mistake for love. Caught between something real and something familiar, Iris is forced to confront the one thing she's spent years avoiding: Maybe love isn't supposed to hurt. Maybe the hardest thing she'll ever have to do... is choose something soft.
