"Conditional: Love with Strings Attached" is a coming-of-age romance about a young woman drawn to an older, emotionally grounded man. Despite her initial hesitation, they forge a complicated connection-agreeing to see other people while spending most of their time together. But while she keeps her guard up, he quietly devotes himself to her, offering gestures of affection without demanding more.

Everything shifts at her high school prom, when a moment of jealousy exposes her true feelings. In the quiet aftermath, beneath the glow of a streetlamp, she finally confesses her fear of losing him. His response is simple and steady: he'd been waiting for her to choose him.

Their love story unfolds through compromise, vulnerability, and learning to let go of fear-showing that real love isn't perfect, but it's worth fighting for.

🌸 Younger, Yet Yours A Heartfelt Age-Gap Romance Rooted in Family, Respect, and Timeless Love Ruhanika never imagined she'd be considered for an arranged marriage-let alone to a man four years younger. As a quiet, ambitious CA aspirant surrounded by protective cousins and self-doubt, she isn't sure what scares her more: marriage itself, or being seen as "too much" for someone else to handle. Then walks in Aarav - charming, composed, and deeply mature beyond his years. From their first respectful conversation to handwritten letters and long, late-night calls, Aarav doesn't try to win her over - he simply sees her. As their arranged marriage journey unfolds amidst family banter, cultural traditions, whispered insecurities, and shared cups of chai, Ruhanika and Aarav discover that love doesn't always arrive loud. Sometimes, it speaks softly through trust, grows in quiet moments, and stays strong when the world questions it. A slow-burn, emotionally rich romance where age is just a number - and love is about showing up, holding space, and saying "aap" even years later. Perfect for readers who crave respectful intimacy, cultural depth, and the beauty of two people growing into love - not falling into it. • #AgeGapRomance • #SlowBurnLove • #RespectfulRomance • #LoveBeyondAge • #HeartfeltConnection • #FromStrangersToSoulmates • #InsecurityToIntimacy • #HeSeesHer • #IndianRomance • #JointFamilyDrama • #NorthIndianVibes • #DesiLoveStory • #ArrangedMarriageJourney • #SisterhoodMoments • #ShaadiFeels • #MatureLoveStory • #StrongFemaleLead • #SoftMaleProtagonist • #EmotionalGrowthArc • #SupportivePartners • #IntrovertHeroine • #GentleYetStrong • #YoungerYetYours • #SheCalledHimAap • #WhenLoveWaits • #LettersAndLateNights • #HeChoseHerEveryTime • #NotAFairytaleButOurs • #AHomeCalledAarav

Shocked, Bella stills for a second before she absently blurts out a quiet "Okay" Alexander walks towards her after getting her permission and takes the strings in his hands. As he undoes the crossed pattern, his fingers brush against her skin and almost reveal her generous chest. "W-what are you doing?" She asks in a whisper as she holds the top so it doesn't open completely and reveals herself to him. "I'm fixing it" His deep husky voice only worsens her state and accelerates her heartbeat. ______________________________ What could you expect when the whole college art department is invited to an exhibition of an famous photographer? Some would say a night to pass some hours and enjoy art, some might even say a boring way to pass your Saturday night because the art turned out to be something that they don't like. But for Bella it was all but that. She didn't expect to connect with his art in more ways than profesional. She didn't expect to cry over it because it brought back some memories. But what she definitely didn't expect is an job offer, a sweet male companion and a possible lover. But did these two connect simply because they have same interests? Or did fate tangled her fingers into their lives?

They say love begins in silence. But what happens when the silence lasts too long? This is not a love story about happily ever afters. This is a story about almosts- About late-night conversations that stopped just short of meaning something. About eye contacts that promised more, but always ended in friendship. In Part 1, she loved him quietly. In Part 2, she starts to speak- but still, he doesn't listen the way she hoped. She tries to become his safe place. She tries to heal his fear of attachment. She tries to read his mind, hold his hand without holding it, and love him in a way that feels patient-not desperate. But the more she hopes, the more she drowns. This is the continuation of a one-sided love story that became too heavy to carry. A confession soaked in unsent messages, mixed signals, and a storm of emotions that never found a home. Sometimes, loving someone means letting go. Sometimes, silence is louder than goodbye.

[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame. I have no idea what to say, I promised her, but like an idiot I broke that promise. "Say something!" My breath hitches and I look up at my beautiful girl through my lashes, my eyes brimming with tears because I know after tonight we won't be seeing each other again. I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know. "I promise I'm not attached, Blue." Too late. ••• Apollo and Blue have a few things in common. They're both lonely, they're both sad and they both attend the same university, a place where they stumble upon each other for the first time.
