A shared space. A stolen moment. A heart that forgot its rules.
He never said a word. Neither did I.
But in the silence between our footsteps and the awkward glances, something grew-something forbidden.
I wasn't looking for a crush.
And he wasn't supposed to make me feel anything.
But now, I can't unfeel it.
And he can't unsee it.

The Fifth Rule
If you asked anyone, they'd say my brother and I were close the kind of siblings who knew each other's moods before a word was even spoken. We weren't perfect, but we had our system. Five rules. That's how we survived growing up together. Rule 1: Never lie to each other. Rule 2: Always have each other's backs. Rule 3: Ask before borrowing anything. Rule 4: Don't embarrass each other in front of friends. Rule 5: Never.... ever....date each other's best friend. And for the longest time, those rules worked. They kept us balanced. Until he came along. Ethan. My brother's best friend. The boy with the calm eyes and the smile that could turn a bad day around. He'd been around for years, but I'd never really seen him. Not like this. I don't know when things changed. Maybe it was the way he started listening when I talked, or how he laughed a little differently when it was just us. Maybe it was the way my heart forgot all five rules whenever he looked at me. My name's Elena, by the way. I'm the one who was supposed to know better ... the one who swore she'd never cross that line. But the thing about rules is... they only work until something OR someone makes you want to break them. And the night everything changed, it wasn't supposed to mean anything. Just a conversation. Just a moment. Except now, I can't stop thinking about it. About him. About the one rule I can't seem to keep. My brother doesn't know. Not yet. But when he does... everything will change.Complete
This could be something
He ruined everything the day we met. I was twelve. He was the new boy next door. Our families clicked like best friends in a sitcom until he did something that changed everything. For five years, I avoided him. No texts. No waves. No eye contact. I thought I'd never see him again. But fate has a wicked sense of humor... because now we're stuck in the same university. Same course. Same lectures. Same everything. And he? He acts like nothing happened. Like we were never strangers. I swore I wouldn't forgive him. But the heart has its own syllabus and apparently, he's on every page. Enemies. Classmates. Maybe... something more. This is the story of how silence turned into sparks.Complete
Heaven
He's my secret. My deepest temptation. My forbidden desire. And my father's best friend. After spending five months on the road from city to city, blasting the sound of my vintage Mustang with my "outdated music", all I wanted was to return home and figure out what my next step would be. I wasn't really interested in complicating my life any more than it already is. But then I met him. At a roadside bar, as unexpected as it seems, I walked up to him as a joke; a little game. It was like instant death: his deep green eyes, his dark chestnut hair and seductive smile. His kiss. And then he was gone, convincing me it all would become only a good memory at the back of my mind, and I would never see him again. It turns out I couldn't be more wrong. Suddenly, the man who had set my whole body on fire with just a kiss is not only living next door, but is, too, my dad's high school best friend and the father of my first crush from ninth grade. With this secret burning between us, every look is like the most pleasurable of sins; every touch is like a certain damnation. It can never happen. And it only makes me want it more.
