They didn't speak.
Didn't count steps.
They just... moved.
Her hand on Aleah's waist.
Aleah's fingers brushing her wrist.
One step forward.
Two back.
Turn.
There was no rhythm but them.
No choreography but instinct.
No noise except the beat of Niki's heart
and the slow, sure way Aleah never looked away.
At the end, they didn't stop moving.
They just slowed.
Held on.
And didn't let go....
When a salsa class throws two stubborn women into each other's rhythm, the sparks fly, the friends meddle, and the footwork gets a whole lot more complicated.
A queer romantic slow-burn full of witty banter, found family, accidental eye contact, and the kind of tension you can't dance your way out of.
Author's Note:
The story is mainly in Niki's POV, but changes in between as per the story requirement.

Never Let Go (Lieto Fine Series #2)
Letting go? Easy lang 'yan for Alohi Tamayo. She flirts like it's a game she already mastered; no strings, no drama, just fun. Parang passing moment lang bawat connection, like sand slipping through her fingers. Wala siyang naiwan, wala siyang pinanghahawakan. Pero si Ione Skye Suarez? Letting go feels like tearing pages from a diary she's written with her heart. Every "lambing," every subtle touch, every late-night convo, lahat meaningful. For her, flirting is never just flirting. It plants what ifs in her chest, blooming into feelings she can't just walk away from. They're best friends, the kind you'd think are soulmates. Laging magkasama, laging nagtatawanan, laging nando'n for each other. They know each other's secrets, pain, and dreams. But what happens when the line between friendship and something more starts to blur? When one of them finally speaks up and confesses, everything changes. The laughter turns into silence. The glances become loaded. And the closeness they once took for granted? Biglang naging mahirap. One is left hurting, bare and open. The other? Lost and unsure. Now they're standing at a crossroads. Will they fight for what they had? Or will feelings ruin everything they've built? One thing's for sure; after this, nothing will ever be the same.

In The Silence Of Us
I pushed her away, "Meeting you was the worst thing that ever happened to me." Her eyes darkened, a devilish smirk playing on her lips, "Let me make it the shittiest one then." Without warning, she shoved me into the wall. My breath hitched. Her one hand grabbed my neck, while the other grabbed my waist, pinning me against the wall. Her lips crashed against mine, urgent and forceful. Before I could even process, my lips parted, almost involuntarily, and she took the opportunity, her tongue sweeping in, claiming me completely. It's a story about two people caught between friendship and something more, unsure of what they mean to each other but certain of one thing: whenever they're together, it feels like home. For one, it's a quiet comfort; for the other, it's the kind of peace that lets her fall asleep without hesitation. And both would do anything to keep things the way they are. TW: Emotional Trauma.

Clueless of Cotham (GxG)
When Priya loses a game of RummiKub to her housemates, her forfeit is to go on three blind dates of their choosing. But when the best thing about the first date is the waitress, Priya doesn't have high hopes for the remaining two. Or will the third time prove the charm? A loose, modern and queer tribute to Austen's classic "Emma", this funny tale of friendship and flirtation explores how we find feelings where we least expect them. And how sometimes you can't come out of the closet until you realise you are in it. +++ Replaying conversations with Kate in my head I could see how, even if she was as into me as Jenny assured me she was, she might be reticent about going out with a girl who wasn't out to her friends and family, or, worse, was merely bi-curious. I'd need to convince her this wasn't the case. If anything happened between us, we needed to be on an equal footing. No, it was my parents I needed to talk to. I loved them dearly, even if we didn't see eye to eye on some things. Would their disapproval put me off? I briefly entertained the fantasy of calling them up on speaker and coming out to them while Kate held my hand, perhaps in response to some comment from her that she couldn't date a girl in the closet, but then dismissed that as ridiculous grandstanding that could so easily backfire. Well, waiting wouldn't make it any easier. It was 5:30 pm on a Friday. Hopefully, they'd be home. Deep breath. Mum answered after the third ring. "Hi Mum." "Priya darling. How lovely. How are you? Let me call your dad. I'll put you on speaker." We chatted easily for a while, talking about work and my housemates. I realised I was stalling and needed to just, ah, come out with it. "Mum, Dad, I need to tell you both something." "Okay." "So, I made a new friend recently, her name is Kate, she's a researcher at the University and I really like her, and I think I might be falling in love with her."Complete
