"Baby, look at me," he lifts my chin, making me look in his eyes.

His eyes search mine and he glances down at my lips. I lick my lips as they suddenly feel dry and his eyes darken as he looks down at them.

he leans in slightly and my eyes flutter shut. His breath mingles with mine and my pulse quickens. Our chests are pressed against each others as his lips brush mine. My breath hitches and his hands trace my hips.

"Let's stop denying this."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amina Malik Khan is a 17 year old 1st generation Kuwaiti-American. Growing up with a brown mom with insanely high expectations and spending senior year dealing with a toxic ex-boyfriend that just can't seem to catch a hint, is not exactly what she envisioned for her final year of high school. Her only motivation is her best friend Charlie.

Charlie Raul Perez is an immigrant from the Dominican Republic. Saying that moving to America at 8 years old was a big change, would be an understatement. Only thing that got him through it was Amina. Being the basketball team captain and the lead guitarist of a band with his best friends, Charlie doesn't really have time for (neither does he give a fuck about) school. 

Charlie and Amina have always been close, not quite as close as he'd like though, but they both hope this'll be the year it all changes.

Her eyes search mine, and I can see the conflict in them, the way she's trying to find the right thing to say. She doesn't answer right away, but I force myself to hold her gaze. Finally, she exhales, leaning back against the seat. "I don't know what I want," she says, her voice trembling. "But I don't want to lose you. I just... I'm trying to figure it all out." Her hands drop from the wheel, landing in her lap like she's run out of strength. The words hit me harder than I expect, and for a moment, I can't speak. I look away, my chest tight. "Well, I know what I want," I say, the words tumbling out before I can stop them. My voice is soft, almost shaking. "I want you, Analia." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Analia has a boyfriend. A good one. The kind that makes sense, that fits neatly into the life she's spent years building. Safe. Easy. The right choice. Lexie is none of those things. She's messy and reckless, always running toward something or running away. She smokes too much, doesn't apologize for the way she takes up space, and makes Analia feel like her whole life is one wrong move away from falling apart. The kiss was a mistake. Analia knows that. She tells herself it didn't mean anything, that she can bury it, move on, pretend like it never happened. But it did happen. And it keeps happening-in glances that last too long, in texts she shouldn't be sending, in the way Lexie's name sits too heavy in her chest. It's not supposed to be like this. She's not supposed to want her. But she does. And the more she tries to push it down, the more it spills into everything. Analia tells herself walking away from her is the only option, but it never feels like one. Not when Lexie looks at her like that. Not when her heart keeps betraying her. And suddenly, she's stuck between wanting her and walking away, unable to do either.

"...Don't show that you cared about my happiness, when you actually didn't. I doubt if you ever truly did care." I whispered the last part menacingly at him, clenching my jaw as my eyes filled with tears. The way his face hardened and his eyes dilated, I assumed he heard me as a muscle in his jaw ticked. I lowered my pointing finger and wiped my tears furiously from the back of my hand, looking away. "It's good that you got to know about everything before this marriage facade got out of our hands. Now, you'll realize that you never had any feelings for me and it was just an infatuation." He scoffed, looking away. His adam's apple bobbed as his veins popped out lividly. "Don't you dare insult my love, Wali! My love for you was so pure. You know what? You don't even deserve it." I told him, swallowing the lump in my throat. My voice came out harsh as my breath grew thin and ragged. I tried to control myself, reminding there were people in this house. Ya Allah, who was this man standing in front of me? ----- Meet Wali Rehman Khan and Aleyha Shaikh. They both grew up together, they were cousins by fate but best friends by choice. Wali had always been overprotective of her and deeply cares for her, fulfilling her every demand. She thought he loves her the way she loves him but how can he love when he hates even the thought of love? She had believed he would always be there for her but how wrong she was! He left and was back after five painful years. She no longer was the same teenager he last saw or knew, she had changed and changed for good. But still, around him, she didn't know how to feel. She tried but her heart was no longer in her control and she paid a heavy cost due to that. Was the payment worth it? Was it all along Allah's plan? -------------

ONC 2025 Mudassir had it all-awards, friends, and a reputation that turned heads. But glory is fragile, and when life kicked him down, it didn't just bruise him. It shattered him. Now, he's trapped in the outskirts of Karachi, living with a violent father who drinks more than he breathes and a mind that's its own worst enemy. Once the life of the party, Mudassir is just another man drowning in rejection-job rejections, romantic failures, and his once-unshakable ego lie in ruins, a battered remnant of who he used to be. Until he sees her. Yusra Haroon. Selfishly stunning. Charmingly unapproachable. His therapist-to-be. An accomplishment he's looking to unravel. Suddenly, it isn't healing he's after. It's her undivided attention. Therapy sessions turn into a game, and to Mudassir, her kindness isn't just compassion. It's the reward of the price he's paid. It's proof that she wants him, even if she doesn't know it yet. But when she tries to set clear boundaries, he does what he's always known best. And that's not sounding good for the two of them.
