The Moments I Left Behind
Aaliyah has always been good at keeping secrets-especially from herself. The weight of her past, the thoughts she never voices, the nights spent trapped in her own mind. But something is shifting. The silence isn't as heavy. The laughter isn't as forced. And Michael? He notices before she does. He doesn't push, doesn't ask for explanations. But in the way he lingers, in the teasing remarks and quiet understanding, he makes it easier to stay. Healing isn't a straight path-some days, the past still whispers too loud. But for the first time, Aaliyah isn't drowning in it. These are the moments that make her feel alive again, fleeting and fragile, yet real. And one day, when she's somewhere else-when these days feel like a distant dream-she won't remember everything. Not every word, not every glance. But she'll remember how it felt.

New Heights
I felt his hand as it gently pushed the strands of hair that were blocking his view of my face, behind my shoulder. The action caused his fingers to involuntarily graze my jawline and neck making me stiffen. The short contact left my body feeling warm and my breathing to suddenly turn irregular. "I think you look beautiful." He said in that deep, soft voice that made me feel funny. I could still feel his fingers in my hair as they now seemed to instinctively move around the strands. "Thank you.." I whispered, surprised at how softly it came out. Could he even hear it? "My pleasure mamas." He replied, giving me my answer. The words leaving his lips sounded so good that I had to look to make sure he'd actually said them. Before I knew it my body was slowly leaning towards him and even in my dazed state I didn't miss his inching towards mine. • • • Follow Athena Kingman as she experiences life and love in ways that she's never imagined before.
