𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 🥀 an urban fanfiction She was supposed to stay focused- sold-out shows, flashing lights, a dream she fought too hard for. But then she met him. Kentrell Gaulden. All red eyes, heavy drawl, and a smirk that stuck in her head long after the stage lights faded. A chance encounter backstage becomes glances in hotel lobbies, stolen words at pit stops, and a late-night text that changes everything. Now Mariah Amani Buckles has to decide- is he just another distraction? Or the one man who could love her like she never knew love before. ✦ trust. loyalty. chaos. fame. ✦
