[18+] - Just a gentle reminder, this story explores themes of deep emotions, complicated relationships, and morally complex dynamics. If these topics feel overwhelming or sensitive, please read with care. This story leans into the more mysterious and darker sides of life. <3 Laim enters Maya's life at a pivotal moment, offering her something she hasn't experienced in a long time- genuine trust and love. Having been betrayed in the past, Maya is deeply guarded and mistrustful. But Laim with his quiet kindness and patience, becomes the steady presence she didn't expect but desperately needed. The tender story of Maya and Laim, two people discovering the depths of love and trust. As their relationship grows, Maya grapples with self-doubt but finds reassurance in Laim's unwavering devotion. Their connection is built on quiet moments, emotional vulnerability, and mutual respect. Laim promises to stand by Maya through all challenges, and together they learn that love doesn't require grand gestures, but sincerity and support. Their love becomes a powerful, comforting force, rooted in understanding and loyalty, creating a bond that assures them both of a bright, shared future ahead. Laim actions speak louder than words. When Maya doubts the possibility of kindness, he proves through his consistency that trust can be rebuilt. Whether offering a listening ear or standing by her during is bad, I thought they would go through phases that would make them apart, but let's see how they become one and break the silence.
The Guy in My Spanish class by theenbywriter
44 parts Ongoing Mature
This time, I can't help but flinch as he touches me and pulls the other strap down .. bearing my other shoulder to his eyes. "Anthony .. you can't say those things. We .. we're supposed to be best friends." As I try to reason with him, he begins to kiss my shoulder .. making the words come out so much more weaker than intended. Anthony stays quiet after what I say, or rather he ignores me, instead using his other hand to play with the skin on my stomach exposed from the top. "I know .." He trails off. I hold my breath, anxious as I wait to hear what he's going to say next. "But I don't know if that's enough for me anymore .." Anthony moves my hair to side, and the words he speaks are paired with a slow kiss to the nape of my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After having her heart broken and being bullied out of her high school, when an opportunity to leave takes the form of a scholarship to a private university, she packs up and accepts happily. Everything was supposed to start over that year, all she had to do was lay low and maintain a focus on her studies to graduate. Until she meets a guy in her Spanish class. Beatrix's world is turned upside down as she explores new friendships and begins to open back up to the world. She begins to navigate her new life on campus, filled with arduous exams, study sessions, hard decisions and of course .. a little drama and excitement to make things entertaining. This is a slow burn!!!

𝐰𝐥𝐰 • 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐱𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝 • 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐱 --- When two ex-best friends are reunited, an obvious attraction has grown. For them to love each other would be wrong though...right? After all, they are opps by association. Maybe keeping their love hidden from their brothers who are beefing, will allow them to be together. Or maybe it will ruin everything, ending in chaos and causing hell. • • • 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞... - Mature/Strong Language - Mature Content (18+ Recommended) - Sex/Smut (Detailed) - Substances (Alcohol, drugs, etc) - Violence (Including weapons) - Other Possible Triggering Content REACHED: ----- #𝟏 in 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐱𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝 #𝟏 in 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧 #𝟐𝟖 in 𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲
