"May I have a picture?" I asked. "That's if you don't mind."
He cocked his head as if amused by the logic of someone asking to memorialise a present rather than a celebrity.
"You want a picture, and you seem not to know me?" he teased.
"Well, you look familiar," I said, and the sentence came out like the truth: simple and clumsy and small. "Maybe you're famous. Maybe you're the kind of famous I can bring home to make my family jealous. They'll either be impressed or actively suspicious, and both options are good stories."
He seemed to like the honesty. He stepped a fraction closer; snow kissed his eyelashes.
"I'm Jannik," he said quietly. "Jannik Sinner."

At 23, Sloane Hamilton is more than just Lewis Hamilton's little sister. She's a Grand Slam champion, ranked No. 23 in the world, and quietly chasing something even bigger: her own name in a sport that rarely lets women define themselves outside headlines.

He's crossed paths with Sloane for years on tour, but they've never spoken. Not really. Until Monaco. One unexpected conversation in the Ferrari paddock sets off a slow unraveling - of walls, assumptions, and what it means to let someone in. Between Grand Slam ambitions, media scrutiny, and the legacy of a last name that never quite fades, Sloane and Jannik find themselves caught in something neither of them saw coming.

|| pretend to the end || jannik sinner ||
Gracie Campbell has spent her life under a microscope. Fashion's golden girl, perfectly sculpted for the cameras, adored by millions-yet utterly hollow behind the flawless smile. The press never stops whispering, inventing lovers for every photo, dissecting every glance, every breath. Jannik Sinner knows that same suffocating spotlight. Tennis's brightest star, world number one, trapped in the endless cycle of speculation and rumor. Fame offers no privacy-only pressure, only noise. When the chaos threatens to swallow them both, their managers broker a solution: pretend. A fabricated romance to quiet the storm. It's temporary. It's controlled. It's not real. At least, that's what they tell themselves. But there's nothing controlled about the fire that sparks every time their paths collide. A reluctant hand on her waist. His breath warm against her ear. Long nights in shared hotel rooms where walls-both physical and emotional-start to crack. Sharp words laced with sarcasm give way to stolen glances neither of them wants to admit mean anything at all. And then, one night, a broken elevator, a kiss that was never supposed to happen... and suddenly the lie feels far too close to the truth. Gracie swore she'd never let anyone in. Jannik promised tennis would always come first. But as they're forced deeper into a world of staged intimacy and whispered denials, they're left with one impossible question- When pretending feels this real... how do you know where the act ends?
Wild Love of Assassins 2
Everything was normal. Everything was fine. Everything is on the right. Everything is alright............. Until I saw her there........... She's standing looking at me.... I closed my eyes and opened it. She's still there, looking at me with her curious eyes. I couldn't move while she was starting to walk towards me. I am just watching her. She stop in front of me. "Excuse me sir, your blocking my way." Her voice was the same, she was here. She was damn real.
But Let Me Try
Staring into her eyes for exactly four minutes, asking myself why we can't choose someone we love? I really thought I liked the others, but. "Why?" She whispered, and I looked away. She is the only one I can ever think about. She is cheerful and gorgeous and sweet and... I looked down at my cup. She looked at me with a shy smile. "Kuya, may problema ba? " she asked while wipping the bread in her cheeks with a napkin. I'd blush whenever she smile. Her smile, oh her smile. It zapped my heart every time. No. Am I acting weird? Tsss Is it normal being in love with someone who will provoke you into doing things you would not normally do? Oh and why do I expect her to fall in love with me? It won't happen because...

We've All Been More Than Eager To Sin
I saw him an when he looked my way our eyes locked, I tried but I just couldn't look away from him. When he smiled my heart felt like it was going to beat right out of my chest, I felt my cheeks get red from blushing, he smirked then raised a eyebrow and did a head nod he took a sip of his drink finally looking away. Even though he looked away I still couldn't, I wanted to know what just happened and why. But little did I know what just happened was going to throw a curveball into my life.
A Heart Full Of Stars ✓
My feet stopped in the corridor suddenly when those brown dark eyes met mine. I blinked my eyes rapidly and looked away. Anywhere and everywhere but him. He wasn't moving and I didn't make any attempt as well. I was frozen at my place as if that way he wouldn't be able to see me. How stupid of me! I gulp hard. It was awkward. It was as if the time was stuck the same. I knew he was stubborn and he would love to make this situation even more complicated. He was tasting me. But I am not someone to stay still and watch. If he is daring me then I should accept it. Right? I gave a mental nod and look at him finally. As expected, he didn't budge from his position nor did he leave his gaze from me. It was cold, it was filled with anger, it gave away his displeasure but I am not bothered. That anger of him has always acted against him. It was his biggest weakness yet he refused to leave it. Fine, I don't mind. He can keep his ego and I'll wear my attitude proudly. I am no less than him. His dark orbs were cutting through me but I had decided to act the same way as him. He doesn't care so I won't too. If he is going to hold his ego then I will too. If he is acting rude then I'll be ruder. If he fights then I'll be fighting back with double force. I will do anything but seat quiet and see him do whatever he wants to. I took a deep breath and put on my confident smirk as I walked forward while pulling my whole strength. I don't care! I repeated in my head. One step after the other and I was already closer to him. I pressed a smile further when he was near. He looked pissed but as I said, I would ignore him and I did. A few more steps and I was out of his view or he was out of my view. I let out a deep breath but celebrated my victory in my head. A smile formed on my lips as I felt relieved with myself. I was fine after all and I know I will be fine later too.Complete

I sat on the corner taking off my high heels...I can feel his eyes on me once I took off and wiggle my toes to make me feel so comfortable. "It's getting hot in here" he mumble and stood up taking off his office suites damn the shitty abs I may or may not drool as of this moment until I notice his eyes on me,I blush when he saw me staring at him. "Like what you see?" I rolled my eyes on him. "No, I'm just wondering how many gay population licked that abs." He sighed. "What the fuck is wrong with you? You didn't know the whole story for what happened that day to judge me!" "Oh ofcourse I don't!!!! I don't need too anyway like some people say to see is to believe my dearest mate!" Three step and he was now infront of me boxing me with both of his arms. "I guess you want another kiss my love, do you miss the taste of my lips that day? Do you like to....kiss me now so I can prove to you that I'm not the person you think I'am? Or maybe you can test me on your bed tonight when we get out of here? So I can prove to you my sexuality...." his eyes is full of desperate desire licking his lips he move closer and closer until our lips are inches apart. Little did he know my blood preasure is boiling enough to think of anything to keep him away from me. "Do you hear me Debura?" I tighten my grip on my Lv bag before I stoke it in his head. His eyes got wider before he collapse infront of me. The elevator ding open as I stood and pick up my heels smiling brightly to the man I just manage to knock down. "Yes I can hear you Tastian!"

|| behind the court line || carlos alcaraz ||
In a world where every point can decide a career and perfection is a daily demand, even the smallest distraction can be disastrous. Elena - composed, distant, and painfully professional - knows this better than anyone. Working behind the scenes as part of the medical team for top tennis players, she's learned how to keep emotions in check. Always in the background. Never too close. Rules that are never meant to be broken. Until they are. Carlos Alcaraz - young, unpredictable, electric. Known not just for his game, but for a presence that's impossible to ignore. Even for her. On the surface, they have nothing in common - except the growing proximity that no one is supposed to notice. Too often. Too intense. It starts with fleeting moments. Lingering glances between points, the brush of a hand during a taped wrist, conversations that last longer than they should in the hallway after lights-out. Then a few drinks, a harmless game, and a door that closes behind them. Set against the backdrop of one of the world's biggest tournaments - Wimbledon - this is a story of two people who never planned to fall into each other's orbit. It's not quite love. Not yet. It's tension, raw and electric. It's temptation. And it's the slow realization that some things, once started, are impossible to control. But the closer they get, the harder it is to tell the game from the truth. And when everything starts to spiral like an unforced error under pressure, someone will have to risk something greater than a match. Can you keep your distance when your body remembers every touch? Can you ignore what should've never happened - but did, in a locked room, under cover of night, with someone breathing your name? Can you stay detached when one look is all it takes to lose yourself?Complete

Dahlia has always wondered, knew she was destined for something extraordinary to happen in her lifetime and what girl wouldn't want her life filled with mystery and wonder.

What she really ends up with is something that every girl hopes and dreams about even if it wants to destroy her. ¤☆☆☆○●●●□●●●○☆☆☆¤ Am I hurting you? He rolled us over giving me a lazy grin before pushing deeper. He threw my leg over his shoulder hugging it in a sort of caress against the crook of his neck as he softly ran one hand down the softness of my skin as if cherishing every sensation possible. His lips feathered the inside of my thigh as if it had always been his while noises slipped from within my lips. The sensation left me in awe and I wondered over enduring such a thing between gasps and deep groans of simple pleas to finish me off. His grip went from perfervid to zealous leaving me feeling desperate for more. Had he always felt this sure of himself? How long had he been holding back? It felt like he knew my body better than I ever did and yet we had never known intimacy. Not in the entire marriage that had been forced upon us. I felt confused at why we'd never done this before. Why did we wait so long? A feeling so exquisite that I never wanted it to end. I held his gaze as he held mine like he was seeing me for the first time. The want in the softness of his eyes tugged at the desire in my heart. Reassuring that what I was feeling, he was feeling as well.
Cherry || Jannik Sinner
Chiara Ritter, ranked No. 128 in the world, wasn't supposed to make it past qualifying at Wimbledon. Three years ago, she'd crashed out of the rankings entirely, written off by the press as a "pretty face who partied too much." Now, against all odds, she's back - diving headfirst into the main draw, beating top players, and tripping over just about everything in her path. But not everyone is celebrating. Jannik Sinner has known Chiara since they were fifteen, back when junior tournaments meant long bus rides, cheap hotels, and grudges that still haven't died. They haven't spoken in three years - not since her career nosedived - and neither of them has forgotten exactly why. Now Wimbledon has forced them into the same orbit again. She's the ultimate underdog. He's the number one. And every glance, every sarcastic comment, every accidental run-in feels like another rally in a match neither of them ever meant to play. Fiction!
