Sabrina Carpenter.
She's here with Taylor, maybe just for a night, but one look at her and you know it won't be the last time she crosses your mind. From that moment, the game feels different, the stakes feel higher, and suddenly, keeping your cool might be tougher than ever.

"If I were able to steal the key to your heart, I would only use it when it needs some love... but it's hard since we're apart-it's got me wondering." - If You Were Mine, Minova ༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶ In the flickering warmth of an old coffee shop-where the record player skips just enough to feel vintage and the air always smells like cinnamon and nostalgia-Arabella exists quietly.

What Happens in Vegas...
One night. Too much tequila. And a marriage certificate she doesn't remember signing. Taylor Swift was just supposed to show up to a friend's bachelorette party in Vegas, have a few drinks, and go home with a slight hangover-not a husband. But when she wakes up next to NFL superstar Travis Kelce, completely naked and very much wearing a wedding ring, she realizes something went very wrong. They don't remember much. They don't even really know each other. And now... they're legally married. What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. Unless it follows you home-and starts to feel like something more.Complete
Invisible String
We always thought it would be easy - or at least, easier than this. Starting a family was the next chapter we were so ready for. After years of tour buses, locker rooms, sold-out stadiums, and quiet nights tangled up on the couch, we finally looked at each other and said, "Let's do it. Let's build something even bigger - a family." I imagined it all: the baby shoes lined up in the hallway, lullabies replacing love songs, tiny fingers wrapping around ours. Travis would be the kind of dad who cried at every school play and coached little league with a heart too big for his chest. And me? I just wanted to see my whole world in someone's eyes. But when the doctor sat me down, everything changed. Low ovarian reserve. Those words echoed like thunder, even as I smiled politely and nodded like I understood what that meant. All I really heard was, You might never have a child of your own. IVF became our lifeline - our monthly ritual of hope and heartbreak. Shots. Pills. Early mornings. Hormones that made me feel like I was spinning out of control. We did it all for three years. Three long, soul-tearing years. Each cycle brought a new wave of belief and then... nothing. No heartbeat on the screen. No nursery to paint. Just silence and more space where dreams were supposed to go. Travis held me every time I broke. He never tried to fix it - just sat with me in the quiet, wiping my tears, whispering, "We'll figure this out, baby. We will." And one night, after another failed round and hours of holding each other on the kitchen floor, we finally said the words that changed everything. "Maybe our child isn't supposed to come from me." It felt like letting go and holding on at the same time. We didn't give up on our dream. We just found a new way to meet it. A different kind of miracle. And somewhere out there, a child is waiting - just like we are. Not born from my body... but born for us.Complete
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. 🌹

The Strip
Sienna Antoinette Harper had spent twelve years running from her past; now 28 she'd built up walls around her heart trying to keep people out and keep her heart hidden deep within. She'd even gone to court and changed her name legally. Somehow she had managed to straighten up her life enough to attend college and graduate at the top of her class in Accounting. And when her sister, who was also her best friend and works for Addison Technologies in Las Vegas, reaches out to Sienna letting her know that she'd secured an interview that would most certainly end up as a full time job. Little did Sienna know that her past and present would collide and perhaps endanger her future. Roan Michael Addison was a billionaire CEO of his own company Addison Technologies and owned one club on the Strip in Las Vegas. He was a workaholic and didn't have time for relationships. He never saw the same woman twice, he never treated them badly but they understood once they were with him that was it. Much to the chagrin of Roan's twin brother, Cade, who was totally different. He encouraged Roan to settle down but he just wasn't feeling it until she walked into the elevator at his company and then again at his club Leviathan one night and his feelings started to change rapidly. He didn't understand these feelings and tried to fight them. The harder he fought them the more he was pulled in especially when he found out that she not only worked at his company but was the best friend of his brother's fiance, Lisbeth. Would he be able to uncover what it was about her that pulled him in like a moth to a flame? Could he help her break down the walls she'd worked so desperately to construct? The names of the characters are purely fictional. The name of the company and nightclub are fictional as well. EDITING HAS BEGUN ON THIS STORY! PLEASE BE PATIENT AND I AM AWARE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!

Double fire🔥
She breathes fire 🔥 He breathes fire🔥 The word 'detest' isn't enough to describe what these two have for each other. Some say respect is reciprocal, but not when two blaring fire clash. She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderer. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn't something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water. She was a wild and crazy one; always stomping on eggshells that everyone else tip-toed on. She held fire in her eyes. She was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears. They all saw her as an angry person, but why bother explaining to them, when sadness and grief engulfs your heart, it turns into anger. What happens when she cross paths with an arrogant,short tempered and egoistic man? He isn't one to lose, he gets whatever he wants when he wants it. His mind is clouded with nothing but success. He has a heart, but doesn't know how to use it, he doesn't know what it's meant for other than family. It's small, but it's there. He does more and says less.
