Using different names, this is a non-fiction story about myself, a girl from a small town in Massachusetts, having met a boy from Guangdong, China at a teriyaki and sushi bar at a mall food court. This is the (short) story of how we met, eventually became friends and broke our language barrier (kind of).
Forward to 2024, I have visited Leo a few years after this encounter. Shortly after visiting him, Leo posted on wechat that he had a significant other. Life drifting us apart, I have not talked to him in for a few years now, and it seems he has gotten married and had a baby. I am happy for him. He deserves to be happy. But for those who may get the impression... yes, I had a huge crush on him and was too shy to pursue, especially with the language barrier. And I have no idea if it the crush was reciprocated. Perhaps I will write a second chapter about my visiting him.

Complicated
His voice is low with what he says next, "I love you Gracie" my voice hitches down my throat. "And I understand this is not what you want to hear now, remember the first time we met?" He holds each side of my head. I nod, "yes in that low lighted room at the party, it was September fifth and the time was around eleven twenty-nine pm" strangely I have the whole day memorized because of how I replayed the scene. He lets out a light chuckle and I drop my hands down, "na the first time we met was at camp. You also told me our kiss was your first" My mind runs back to that 'kiss' I had forced myself to forget, "you're that Aaron" my eyes are perplexed. "We sat around the campfire, we were given such weak dares" we both laugh at the memory "Your dare was to kiss me and you were really shy about it but all I could think of was, 'wow this gorgeous ginger is about to kiss me'" his laugh is so calm, soft and melodic. I pull his neck down so quickly that he doesn't get the time to adjust to what is going on. "And this ginger is about to kiss the fuck out of you again" I run my fingers viciously through his hair. **** {Started: January 2021} {Ended: December 2021} (#3 in rich kids) (#65 in diversity)Complete
Sweet Love
( Book Two of the Love Series | I don't recommend as a standalone, but can be read as one. I tried my best to provide information that was missed from the other book.) A phrase like 'I love you' is something people don't mean. They don't put their heart into that statement. They don't say it with promise. The looseness in the meaning those four letters held made my heart doubt their commitment. You can love your mom. Love your best friend. Love the way a hot shower feels after a long day. Love a man who cheats on you. So yeah, go ahead and say you love me...See how far that gets you. ~~ Knox's eyes raised to meet mine, "Tell me what you want from me." I breathe heavily as my mind clouds with pleasure. Leaning up a little, I motion for him to come closer. He obliged as I wrap an arm around his neck, pressing my forehead to his. He was about to kiss me again, but I gave a soft tug to the side causing him to fall to the bed. A rush of air left him as he lay flat on his back now. Taking advantage of the shock that delayed his response, I tossed my leg over his waist as I settled myself on top of him. Knox sat up a little on his elbows, letting out a groan as I shifted my hips over his. "I want," I leaned down, smiling in satisfaction as he allowed me to press him further into the bed, "For you to sit back and let me use you to get myself off." I was inches from his ear now, "Would you let me do that?" Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a smirk making its way onto his face. Knox raised his hips slightly pulling another moan from me, "Use me for whatever you desire, sweetheart." Sealing it with a kiss to my neck. ~~ Unedited Version.
