Playing His Game | BWWM

BLACK WOMAN X WHITE MAN/ASIAN MAN

"You want to play games? Fine. But we play them my way."

Camila Quinn built her life on discipline.

A pre-med student with a flawless GPA, meticulous routines, and a future mapped years in advance, she believes in control-in earning what she wants and keeping drama at arm's length. Even her relationship with Alex Walker, the star quarterback she's been with since high school, fits neatly into that plan.

Until it doesn't.

College changed him. The attention, the ego, the entitlement that comes with being untouchable. Slowly, the respect fades. The excuses stack up. The silences grow louder. And eventually, the truth becomes impossible to ignore.

Alex was unfaithful.

He never says it outright, but the disrespect is evident. Camila tries to let go. Tries to be the bigger person. But heartbreak curdles into something sharper when she realizes how little he seems to care.

One disrespect for another.

Anger takes root.
And then there's Leo Brooks.

Alex's former best friend. His unresolved rivalry. A transfer student with his own reputation, his own edge, and a very clear reason to hate Alex just as much as she does.

Leo keeps appearing-everywhere. Unintentional of course, but; That's when the idea forms.

What starts as strategy quickly turns dangerous. Because Leo isn't a pawn, and Camila isn't as unaffected as she pretends to be. The more they blur the lines between revenge and desire, the harder it becomes to tell what's real-and who's going to get hurt in the process.
