It all begins when I stumble upon a dating app, searching for connections in a foreign land. Fate intervenes as I match with Anthony, a guy who is set to embark on his own exchange journey in just two weeks. Knowing that our time together is limited, we take a daring leap and decide to dive into this whirlwind romance, fully aware of the impending expiration date.

From the very beginning, everything moves at an accelerated pace. We embrace each moment, squeezing every drop of passion and intimacy out of our fleeting time together. The clock is ticking, and we refuse to waste a single second. Expectations are tempered by the reality that our story may not have a conventional happy ending, but that doesn't deter us from experiencing love in its most raw and intense form.

"Modern Love" explores the unique dynamics of contemporary relationships, where time is a currency and passion burns brightly, but fleetingly. It is an unfiltered and honest portrayal of the challenges and joys that come with embracing love when we know it won't last.All Rights Reserved

He rubbed the back of his head that possessed his starter loc twists. "That was so nice of you, you didn't have too." She smiled softly finally looking at him, "Can you put it on me?"

"It doesn't have to be the end, you know? We still have tonight, and tomorrow. Remember when I told you once by accident, twice by chance and three times a pattern?" Madi nodded at him.

Experience Me by KeajaT

Life is all about experiences. Experiencing situations, experiencing different places, things and most importantly, experiencing people. We experience different people every day whether you're passing someone on the street or having lunch with a coworker. Each experience is unique in design, some more than others. This is the beauty in life. We get the opportunity to experience these people and learn different lessons. Some of these lessons may be difficult and some may be enriching. Regardless, each one is worth the ride whether you want to believe it or not. I believe romantic experiences are the ones that teach us the most about ourselves whilst family and friends teach us important life lessons. You attempt to prepare yourself for the rush of emotions, try to gain some control, but your efforts are fruitless. Just enjoy a ride on the wave of unpredictability and experience each person with an open heart. Ariah Miller, a 25-year-old graphic designer, is a strong and determined African American woman set on accomplishing her goals and isn't looking for any emotional attachments. However, tall, dark, and gorgeous Silas Wilson becomes an investor at Ariah's job and he is used to working hard for something he wants and Ariah just so happens to be on his to-do list. Get ready for intense romance and untethered desire.

To This Day by scallison

When Sydney Sherwood was thirteen, she fell in love. She was utterly enamoured with Carter Pearson - the cute, enigmatic, brilliant fourteen year old who lived across the street. But, after only a few months, Carter and his family disappeared, leaving behind a 'House For Sale' sign and one broken-hearted girl. Six years later, Sydney is beginning a year abroad at Yale University, over 3000 miles from her home in England. A chance at a blank slate, a leap into the unknown. That is, until she stumbles across Carter himself in line at a campus coffee shop. They're half the world away from where they met and just as far from the people they used to be. But sometimes, it seems, the universe has a plan of its own. And for Sydney and Carter, that means their story isn't over yet, whether they like it or not.
