"Secrets don't die with the ones who keep them. They haunt the living until they're forced into the light..."
Aminah ~
Grief has a way of staining everything-your memories, your heart, your sanity. Losing Hailee shattered me, but what came after burned me alive. The deceptions, the cracks in trust, the love that lingers in my heart even when I want to rip it out.
Alex is the spark that threatens to ignite what's left of me. Her presence feels like treason, a dangerous temptation I can't afford.
And Devyn? She's the ghost of my past and the storm of my present. I loved her once-maybe I still do-but love isn't enough when the truth tastes like ash.
This is my life now, balancing on the edge of a knife, torn between uncovering the secrets that will certainly destroy me and holding on to what little remains.
They say the truth sets you free. But they never warm you of the costs.

Let it Rain | Orianna | Book1 | WLW
[Completed] (ShortStory) [women -loving- women] [girlXwoman] I came across a woman, to me, she's different at first sense. I wasn't sure how my existence turns out to be that day. By only gazing at her, I was fallen into my emotions. I couldn't find reasons to take away my eyes off her, millions of thoughts by just gazing at her. My existing state of mind is present at that moment, but I couldn't find any reason to describe her. How I felt, I was fascinated quickly by her. I didn't ask her name, but I saw the card she provided me to pay her bill, her name was Orianna Ferguson. I arrived back to let her sign, she brought her pen and stroke the pen signing, and was done. Noticing, she didn't even stare at all the papers where she signed. I leave after and let her enjoy her moment time alone. "Hey! Kiss! She can't see..." said the other staff saw a lowered tone, almost whispering, lowering her head down. "You didn't notice, do you? No judgments. I mean, she's a regular guest, I call her a lady in a hat." Dana, my co-waitress sneered while she said. Since the day I was bothered by the idea, she got me mesmerized. Should I talk to her? Or rather, have this dumbfounded idea. Waiting and standing here from afar, contented gazing enthralling her unique beauty on purpose. I have a million reasons to accept the fact. Will she be able to see me? Glance back or able to meet our eyes, recognizing me. Have you ever felt something that is missing...?

Juno Attraction
On stage, Alex Smith is flawless. Singer. Songwriter. Producer. Actress. Model. Every move rehearsed, every smile a secret. But beneath the lights and applause is someone who's never truly let anyone in - until the night she sees Sabrina Carpenter in the crowd. It's supposed to be routine. The rose she gives out during every performance is part of the act - harmless, symbolic. But when Alex locks eyes with Sabrina, it feels different. Like something inside her recognizes what it's been missing all along. That single gesture changes everything. The chemistry between them is instant - sharp, physical, magnetic. What begins as curiosity and attraction quickly turns into something neither of them can control. Every touch lingers. Every look lasts too long. It's the kind of connection that makes the world fade away. But passion like that doesn't stay hidden for long. In a world built on image, rumors, and envy, both women find themselves walking a line between what they want and what they're supposed to be. Sabrina's heart is still healing, and Alex's is still guarded. Yet, with every secret meeting, every moment spent behind closed doors, what started as desire begins to bloom into something real. Something terrifyingly deep. And just when love finally feels possible, the world reminds them that it's watching - jealous exes, old scars, and dangerous whispers threatening to tear them apart. Still, neither can let go. Because no matter how impossible it seems, that night on stage meant something. It wasn't a performance. It was fate disguised as a rose. 🌹
