She was making him feel things he never knew it was possible. Yet bringing her into his world was dangerous especially because of her sudden connection to his case. Katherine has a baggage full of insecurities and trust issues. She never had an official boyfriend and being 24 that's socially unacceptable. The danger those grey eyes emit should scare her away. He was trouble and she knew that but she couldn't help it. The attraction she feels towards him is scaring her. Is it worth taking the risk? ........ "Can you cook?" "I can" "Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded. "Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing. "Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...

He seemed to think about my words before speaking. "Over us? Or you think they're watching over you." "I know they're watching over us." My back hit the railing as he stood less than a foot away from me. His lips parted, releasing a puff of smoke into my face. The smell made me feel sick, but I didn't show it. "Mon cœur, no one is watching over us. It's just a fragment of your little imagination," he said bitterly, a cold look passing over his face. He dropped his cigarette, snuffing it out with his shoe.

ECHO OF US by inkwellsouls

Aissatou Keita, an emerging and highly sought-after model, is rapidly becoming a household name in the fashion industry. Known for her stunning looks and strong presence on the runway, she has made a name for herself, but the pressure of maintaining her public persona is wearing on her. Behind the glitz and glamour, Aissatou is searching for something more - something real and lasting in a world that often feels fake. Grayson Cho, a talented yet reclusive photographer known for capturing raw and intimate moments, is hired for a high-profile photoshoot featuring Aissatou. Grayson is widely regarded in the celebrity world for his unique, emotionally charged photographs, which have graced the covers of numerous magazines and ad campaigns. Despite his fame, he's not interested in the superficial side of the industry and prefers to keep a low profile, focusing instead on the art of his craft. When Aissatou and Grayson first meet on set, there's an undeniable spark, but both are hesitant to explore it. Aissatou is used to relationships being fleeting and based on appearances, while Grayson is afraid of getting too close to someone in her world of fame and public scrutiny. As they work together on more projects, their connection deepens. Grayson sees beyond Aissatou's beauty, recognizing the vulnerability and strength that lie within her. Aissatou begins to see Grayson as more than just a photographer; his quiet confidence and artistic soul captivate her. However, navigating a relationship in the spotlight isn't easy. They must contend with the pressures of their careers, the expectations of their public personas, and the distance that fame can create. As the two grow closer, they are forced to confront their fears - of love, of trust, and of the expectations that come with being in the public eye. Can they carve out a space for themselves amidst the chaos of their careers, or will their love be yet another fleeting moment in their lives?

"Why do you keep staring?" She shifted uncomfortably, tucking the loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Just observing." I smirked to myself. "There is not that much to see," She said, brushing her face with the back of her hand. Cute. So innocent and polite. If only she could read my mind, to have the slightest idea of the things I could do to her. The things I wanted to do to her. Jah know. All I could think about was how much I want to fuck her. It doesn't have to be permanent but I want to. To see what she's like when she's loose. Wah know if she have a sexy pleasure face...or sound as sexy as she looks.

Does forgiveness come easy when the ones we gave our heart to are the ones who will break it without a second thought?
