It started with misunderstandings neither of them intended. A girl who vowed not to fall, and a man who already had. What began with distant glances turned into stolen moments. And chaos slowly gave way to connection. In another corner of their story, Friendship found meaning in the quiet, unspoken gestures. Feelings that didn't need a name still found a home. Hearts aligned, fates intertwined - without warning. Some stories aren't written... they're destined. And this? Was always Scripted by Destiny. --- Zayn & Aaisha - They weren't meant to fall in love. She was hired to work under the man she once despised. He was the boss - arrogant, sharp, and far from kind. But fate, with all its mysterious twists, had other plans. Between silent glares and unspoken care, their story began to unfold. It wasn't the beginning they dreamed of - but it became the ending they never imagined. What started with annoyance turned into comfort. What once felt impossible, became undeniable. Two souls, intertwined by destiny, learning that sometimes... the most unexpected love stories are the most beautiful. "It was always you. Even when I didn't want it to be." - Aaisha --- Salar & Fatimah - Something More Than Friendship It wasn't planned. From the moment Salar laid eyes on Fatimah, something shifted - something he couldn't quite name. They weren't exactly friends. Not yet. But between shared glances, witty comebacks, and moments of standing together for others, they built a bond that went beyond labels. Salar didn't call it friendship, and Fatimah never asked. But when hearts are in sync, titles don't matter. Their journey wasn't loud - it was soft, steady, and certain. And when the time came, love was already there, quietly waiting to be claimed. "I don't know when I fell for her - maybe I never stopped." - Salar --- Ranks>> #21 responsibilities #13 engineer #751 past #212 office romance #1 grumpyxsunshine #129 lawyer

Aaron felt that rain clouds surrounded him and he was perfectly comfortable with that, he didn't like people- end of story. That is until Keira, the personification of sunlight and his new next door neighbour comes along and flips his entire love for solitude on its head. Then the rain clouds begin to disappear... Aaron sat and listened to me as shadows danced off his jaw, I watched as it flexed. "I cant believe anyone could find you too much" he said looking almost perplexed by the idea of it. "I mean your laugh, your voice, your smile, it all fits you so perfectly" My breath hitched at his words. No one had ever said that to me it felt almost like a confession of some sorts. Intimately whispered in the soft lighting of my kitchen like a secret being told. I laughed then to break the intense atmosphere that had taken over but it just made his eyes crinkle and his dimples appear. "Oh" was all I could say. I was actually speechless. I mean what could I say to that without spilling my guts to him. Hi! This is a grumpy x sunshine, next door neighbour, he's obsessed with her and she's oblivious to it romcom. Also this is my first ever attempt at writing so please leave any feedback/ improvements you feel I can make in the comments lol. Also I don't usually read over my writing so sorry for any mistakes.

A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen.
