The storm hammered against the bus shelter, a rhythmic counterpoint to the frantic beat of my heart. Across from me, under the shared overhang, sat a man I'd only ever seen from afar - Denzell. A gust of wind whipped rain into the shelter, making me shiver. He looked up, our eyes meeting across the narrow space. He offered a small, hesitant smile.
"Quite a storm, isn't it?" he said, his voice a low rumble that sent a surprising thrill through me.
"It is," I replied, my voice barely a whisper. A warmth spread through me, a feeling that had nothing to do with the damp chill of the night.
Isang komportableng katahimikan ang namayani sa pagitan namin, na nababasag lamang ng patuloy na pagkidlat ng malakas. Bumalik siya sa kanyang ginagawa, pero ako'y naakit sa paraan ng paggalaw ng kanyang mga daliri sa libro na hawak niyo.Pinanood ko siya, na para bang nahipnotismo, hanggang sa tumingin ulit siya sa akin, may tanong sa kanyang mga mata.
"A- ah I'm Cazziah," I said, offering my hand.
"Denzell," he replied, but he didn't take my hand. it felt almost insulting that he didn't shake my hand.
Malakas ang kidlat at alam kong mas lalakas pa ang ulan ngayong gabi. Ilang oras na rin akong naghihintay dito at ang tagal ng bus. Wala akong dalang payong at baka mabasa pa ang mga papel ko, umupo ako sa tabi ni Denzell pero may malaking pagitan pa rin sa amin.

He tightly grabs me by my waist and he holds me in place while I still continue to get captivated by whatever it is that is happening here. "Tell me what you see." He commands in a voice that sounds so beautifully smooth and pleasant to listen to. My words are choked up and I can't even begin to explain what lies in those eyes of his. Something about his presence is reeling me in, pulling me more soulfully closer to him, something that i am not even sure is possible but I feel this connection to him, this ancient ancient connection, like I had seen him before, like I had known him for a long time, a life time. And the way he's holding me !!! He feels familiar and yet I don't even know who this man is and it would be crazy if I told him that I've seen a Storm in his eyes, a storm that I had never seen anything like it in my life. It was beautiful and enchanting. Everything that he Is at the moment. "Nothing... I didn't see anything." I lie, as my mind fully gets back to me again, and the storm finally dissappears. He let's go of me and i move to stand on my own. He looks at the features all over my face before he furrows his thick brows, in concern while he continues to stand awfully close to me and gosh he smells so good. A huge strike of lightning echoes outside before immediate rain starts pouring outside. I could have sworn that there was a zero percent chance of rainfall tonight, it was clear and there were no clouds insight, the ocean below the balcony starts to get angry too as the waves get aggressive and the moon looks as vibrant as ever right now. We both look outside before we look at each other again. "Are you sure that you saw nothing ?" He asks and I nod my head at him. "Nothing..."Complete

(not edited) This is the book I never even admired. It was more like a journal for me-just ranting and never meant to be published. I only uploaded it so that my friend could read it, and I never imagined people would actually love it. So, it's nothing like Whispered Vows-that's the book I poured my heart and soul into, dedicating 5-6 months completely. So please, don't judge me by this book π!! It was written when I was a teen and remained just a draft for almost a year from 2022 to 2024.

The Letters They Buried
Sa gitna ng gulo ng 1970s, may dalawang pusong nagmahal nang tahimik si Alicia Manalo, isang honor student na anak ng guro, at si Rafael "Rafa" Salcedo, isang student journalist na pinag-iinitan ng gobyerno. Their love was forbidden, dangerous, and written only through secret letters na tinatago nila sa isang lumang puno sa likod ng eskwelahan. Pero isang araw, bigla na lang nawala si Rafa. Walang nakakaalam kung saan siya dinala. Walang paliwanag. Walang nakabalik na mensahe. Tumigil ang mga liham. Pero hindi tumigil ang tanong. Fifty years later, isang Grade 12 student ang nakahanap ng isang metal box na nakalibing sa lupa puno ng mga lumang sulat, mapa, at isang pangalan na hindi niya kilala... Alicia. At sa pagbabasa niya, unti-unti ring nadadamay ang sarili niya sa isang pag-ibig na hindi niya nasaksihan, pero siya mismo ang kailangang tapusin ang kuwento. Because one letter inside says: "Kung sino ka man, please find me. Hindi ako dapat nakalimutan."Complete

But before she could jump, a strong hands yanked her back with force. She gasped, colliding against a stranger's chest, his grip firm, almost desperate. "What the hell are you doing?" His voice was rough, laced with anger, fear, and something else-something she couldn't name. She looked up, meeting his eyes that burned with intensity. He had never seen her before, yet he was drowning in her ocean-blue gaze, reading every scar, every betrayal, every reason she had to jump. His jaw clenched. "I won't let you do this," he muttered, his breath unsteady. "Not when someone out there is meant to find you.....even if it's a stranger like me."

Maybe Us. (Vance Hopper x FEM! Reader)
You had been attending the same school for over 15 years, obviously because you were born in the small town in North Carolina. You were living a pretty normal life, till all of the abductions started happening in 1977. But lets go back a bit. Lets go back to the year 1976. You had been on a night shift on November 18th, 1976. There were many more people than your previous shift. Really the only people there were dropouts, druggies, drug dealers, freaks, and alcoholics. All around the ages 14-22. Everybody was pretty chill with eachother, except for a few people, but that was just the minority. You had been zoned out while staring at the clock, then suddenly heard a DING! Some kid wanted to buy some cigarettes again. You looked at him and he said "Jesus kid, you in a mental insitute or something? Snap out of it." you ringed him up after he asked you for a pack of camels, and then looked at a familiar guy playing pinball. The same blonde that got over 100,000 his last time he came. Everybody started hyping him up, so he's trying to beat 100,000. You remember the mess you had to clean up after some kid accidently knocked over a bunch of beer. You like to not think about how it ruined your favorite pair of shoes. He messed up again, and kicked the machine. You yelled out to him "That thing costs money you know." then he looked at you. His face almost looked angelic. But he had been the jerk of your highschool, so he couldn't be that angelic. He looked away and picked at his pockets. He pulled out nothing. He started walking up to you and started asking for a dime. "Come on, I feed you guys this money all the damn time. Plus you will just get it back." "Then maybe don't waste all your money on pinball. We've gained around $200 with you coming here almost everyday. Thanks for that." and then you smiled while picking up your book. He looked at you in anger, then you looked back up at him. He looked like he was in a bad mood. "Here's a dime." you said handing him a dime.Complete
When words fade
Akala ko forever na. Akala ko sapat na 'yung pagmamahal ko para manatili siya. Pero hindi pa pala sapat. Iniwan niya ako nang walang dahilan, walang paliwanag. Iniwan niya akong bitbit lahat ng alaala, habang siya... parang ang dali niyang lumimot. Sakit na hindi mo maipaliwanag. Parang may malaking butas sa puso ko na kahit anong pilit, hindi agad gumagaling. Pinipilit kong kalimutan, araw-araw. Pero minsan, ang alaala niya ang huling pumapatak sa gabi ko - yung mga tanong na paulit-ulit na bumabalik: "Bakit ako hindi sapat?" "Anong kulang sa akin?" "Bakit ako lang ang naiwan?" Minsan, natatakot akong makita siya ulit. 'Yung tipong bigla na lang, sa lugar na hindi ko inaasahan - magkaharap kami. Ano kaya ang gagawin ko? Tatahimik na lang ba ako? O lalaban? Pipiliin ko pa ba siyang mahalin, kahit sinabi niyang tapos na? O kaya ngayon, pipiliin ko na ang sarili ko? Hindi madali 'to. Pero natutunan kong hindi lahat ng "goodbye" ay katapusan. Minsan, simula siya ng paghilom. Sa katahimikan at sakit, unti-unti kong natutunan na mahalin ang sarili ko ulit. Na hindi ako kulang, hindi ako hindi sapat - Ako ay buo, kahit na wala siya. Ito ang kwento ko: Kwento ng pag-ibig na naglaho, At kwento ng pag-ibigComplete
