Adam shifted in his chair, the knot in his chest tightening. The silence between them was loud in his ears.
He leaned forward. "Ana... can I ask you something?"
She didn't glance up immediately. "Sure" she replied, flipping a page in her notebook.
Adam hesitated, heart hammering. "Have you ever thought about... us? Like, more than just friends?"
Ana froze.
Her pen stilled.
Slowly, she met his eyes, and what he saw there made his heart drop.
"I... don't think we should," she said carefully, her voice low but firm. "I've told you before, Adam. It's not going to happen."
"Ana, I-"
"You deserve someone who can give you what you want," she continued. "That's not me."
Adam swallowed the ache. "I understand."
But he didn't. Not in a way that made it easier to breathe.
"I don't know if I can just stop," he admitted. "You're important to me."
Ana looked away, her heart tightening. "You're a good friend. I don't want to lose that. But I can't offer you anything else. Ever."
A heavy silence fell. Adam stared at the pen in her hand, trying to steady the storm inside him.
"I won't walk away," he said finally. "You deserve someone who really sees you. I'm not going anywhere. Not yet."
Ana bit her lip, fighting the weight of it all. "I'm sorry."
He offered her a sad, quiet smile. "I'll be here, whenever you're ready."

It Started in Spanish
Anthony stops at my bare shoulder and leans down to press a hot kiss onto the skin. "You can't say things like that.." He delivers another, this one to my collarbone and making my words grow weak, unconvincing ... even as they come from my own mouth. "We're supposed to be ... friends." Anthony is quiet at first, the only response I get being his free hand drifting over to cage my body into the small space between us. "I know .." He trails off. It goes dead silent for a second. "But I ... don't think that's enough for me, B." There's a sharp breath from me at the words and a flush of heat to my cheeks when Anthony pushes my hair over my shoulder. His actions expose me to him, showing off my bare shoulders in a way that's downright indecent as the straps pulled down now hang loosely off my arms. "I don't want .. to be just a friend to you." And then, there's another kiss to pair. Although it isn't a simple peck this time. It's an actual kiss now, slow and softly pressed onto my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After being burned, both physically and emotionally by her ex-boyfriend Rudy in her senior year of high school, Beatrix's trust in people is low. That is, until she transfers to the esteemed, private Highland University. It's a fresh start to give the girl what she wants most: A shot at normalcy. The plan is simple .. just keep her head down, study her ass off, try to become a functional person once again and hopefully make one friend or two. Everything was supposed to start over that year. She'd had high hopes of starting anew and faithfully prepared to blend in to the background. And the day goes well. Until she sits down in Spanish, where she meets Anthony Gamaro. After a slight misunderstanding, Beatrix finds herself in an odd friendship with the 20 year old football player. One that slowly helps her regain the confidence she'd long lost before.

Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.
