h a p h e p h o b i a: fear of being touched
Kaitlyn's POV:
I tried to control my breathing as Charlie leaned in.
Don't move away Kaitlyn, whatever you do, do not move away, I told myself.
I stayed still, as still as a statue. I held my breath, like I would do if I were underwater. I cleared my thoughts, free them from negative thoughts. I kept my eyes open, so that I wouldn't be sucked into an awful nightmare instead.
Jacob's POV:
I watched her from afar in the cafeteria. She was talking to her best friend Lauren and was gesturing animatedly, hands moving everywhere wildly. Her pre-packed food was still left untouched. I adore her platinum blonde hair--straight at the top and curled in beautiful waves at the bottom. I adore her emerald green eyes, the way it sparkled when she laughed and when she saw her favorite food. I adore the way her skin crinkled at the place between her brows when she frowned or when she was particularly angry--like now.

Love is patient. Love is kind.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

A Bad Boy's Worst Nightmare (Book 1)
She didn't reply and I felt her finger move across my skin, lower, and almost all the way down my lower back. A shiver coursed through my body, strangely pleasant, and I felt her finger stop. "Your tattoos are beautiful," she said softly. Too close. She was too close. My pulse was hammering and I could feel her cool breath against my skin when she spoke, and my body was warm from having felt her. I couldn't reply. My breathing was light and shaken. I wanted to just turn around and pull her against me, or rather put her against a wall, so I could kiss her and feel her more properly against me. If she touched me again, I wasn't sure that I could keep myself from doing just that. "I'm going to take a shower," I said suddenly in an attempt to escape. She didn't stop me, so I took that opportunity to walk away. When I reached the bathroom, I took a deep breath to steady myself as well as my pulse. Closing the door behind me, I ran a hand through my hair. She truly was a nightmare. A bad boy's worst nightmare was a girl that made him want to be a good one.Complete

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.Complete
We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

Summer Memories
Yoona's summer plans were simple: survive the history exam, avoid awkward small talk, and recharge by the sea with a good book. Falling for her brother's best friend? Not on the agenda. But when quiet, bookish Nate offers to help her study, late-night cramming sessions turn into beach walks, stolen glances, and something she never expected-real connection. Between heart-to-hearts under the stars and slow, tender moments that make her chest ache, Yoona starts to wonder if this summer might mean something more. As college approaches and the end of summer looms, friendships shift, love blooms, and secrets unravel-including one that could change everything about the bet they made during the first week at the beach... "I knew that if I wanted to make a move, this was the moment. I snuck a glance at her-her skin glowed under the soft radiance of the lanterns' flickering light. She looked so beautiful. I didn't want to ruin it by saying anything. Instead, I looked down at her hand. Slowly, I shifted mine toward hers, careful not to startle her. She seemed deep in thought, mesmerized by the beauty above us. My hand brushed against hers, then I pulled away instinctively-but when I reached out again, this time a bit more bravely, she didn't retreat. Instead, she moved closer. And when our fingers finally intertwined, I closed my eyes and let the happiness rush through me. The tension in my chest evaporated, and I finally exhaled."

Home Is With You(bxb)✔️
Completed📌 ~Jacob Park and Arthur White ~ "I'm scared....maybe this isn't a good idea" I stammer stepping back, but he gets a hold of my waist to pull me forward. "I got you" He says tightening his hold on my waist, "there's nothing to worry about." I doubtfully look him in the eyes and take a deep breath when he strokes my hair, "promise?" "Yeah" he assures me and I take a deep breath when he murmurs the following words looking me deep in the eyes, "I promise." •••• The chemistry they have is remarkably out of this world. Jacob Park has always been a loner. Not that he wants to be one but his shy demeanor never allows him to make friends. Even though he's from a decent family, life never treated him fair. There was always this one thing missing and the one thing he's willing to do anything to get: HAPPINESS. Arthur White isn't the caring type and he's everything but respectful. He doesn't care about how anyone feels and he has a demeanor that demands respect. He has to change school every single time because of the different jobs his father does. It's always the same where he goes, plain and boring, but when he finally moves back to his hometown, everything's different. In his school he comes across this nice boy that wouldn't leave his mind and that made him question himself. Arthur was never one to assist or help anyone, let alone get close to them but confusion still ran wild in his mind when he got this sudden urge to protect Jacob Park in the hallways. #1 Mental health #1 bxb #1 wattprideComplete

• the fear of love • "It's quite the smell, isn't it?" I nodded at his answer. He squeezed my waist, "Do you know what your perfume does to me, Miss Sánchez?" He asked but I didn't answer. "I asked you a question, answer me. Do you know... what your perfume does to me?" I shook my head no. He let out a dark chuckle from the back of his throat before grabbing my left wrist. I didn't know what he was doing... But my eyes widened as he placed my hand on his crotch. ------------ "Just..." I stopped as he started speaking, "Just one thing before you leave" I turned around, as he leaned on the refrigerator. I found my eyes staring at his body, starting from his jaw, to his neck, to his chest, that was visible due to few of his buttons being open but I quickly darted them up to meet his eyes before I would go any below than that. He was already smirking, "Tell me one thing before you leave, Miss Sánchez" he began. "How loud do you think you'll scream, when I have both of your wrists pinned on the bed as I fuck you?" ------------ A certain ginger haired girl, runaway from home, a place where she learned that love isn't something to be given or taken. A place where parents should feel like home but felt like hell. A place where she started fearing love.
