They were never lovers-just two people who almost could've been.
Leslie Reyes was the girl who chose ambition over affection, chasing deadlines instead of daydreams. Kiefer Luego was the boy who once tried to reach her heart, but she was too focused on building her future to notice.
Years later, fate brings them back to the same city-both changed, both thriving, both haunted by the same what if.
When late-night coffees turn into long glances and "how have you been" starts to feel like "I missed you," Leslie realizes that maybe love was never the distraction she feared-it was the missing piece all along.

Delicate Disaster
They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.
Back To You
Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?Complete

In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups.

Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.Complete
Folded Like Notes
Eliana Izel Mendoza once believed she had her life perfectly mapped out. Back in senior high, she was the composed student whose world revolved around plans, deadlines, and quiet ambitions. She wasn't supposed to fall for anyone....especially not for Laurence Gomez, the boy whose calm presence felt like a secret she was never meant to keep. Years later, Eliana's life looks exactly as she hoped: successful, independent, and built on the steadiness she once craved. A licensed architect living on her own, she has traded school corridors for city skylines. Yet beneath the rhythm of her carefully managed days, something feels unfinished. When a chance encounter with Laurence's mother reconnects her to the Gomez family, Eliana finds herself unexpectedly facing the past she thought she'd outgrown. Laurence-now a pilot who's returned home for good, reappears, holding not just the plans for his family's new house, but pieces of a memory she's long tucked away. As construction begins, boundaries blur between professional and personal, and the quiet tension that once lived between them resurfaces, more mature, but no less complicated. Meanwhile, Gavino Leander Ramirez, her old constant, lingers on the edges of her present life, steady and loyal, but never quite crossing the line she's drawn. In a story that folds between past and present, Folded Like Notes traces the slow unraveling of emotions once left unread. Because sometimes, the things we bury in our youth don't disappear....they wait for the right time, and the right person, to unfold again.
