You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him.

𝓢𝓸𝔂𝓪𝓷𝓪 ♥︎ I've left the runway behind, but I've never stopped fighting to prove myself in a world that demands perfection. I built my career on creativity and resilience, carving out a name for myself in the unforgiving fashion industry. Now, as a designer, I call the shots. But when my past comes crashing back, I find my focus wavering. Liam Grant, as smug as ever. The British soccer star who almost distracted me once before is suddenly everywhere. But I've got no time for his charm or his smooth talk, no matter how much tension still lingers between us. This island isn't big enough for both of us, and we both know it. 𝓛𝓲𝓪𝓶 ♡︎ I'm used to the pressure of big matches, but running into Soyana again? That wasn't part of my playbook. But apparently, neither was forgetting her. She's even sharper than I remember, tougher, and completely unfazed by me. I've spent my entire career figuring out ways around the toughest defenses, but this might be the hardest challenge yet. But hey, I've never walked away from anything without a fight.

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.
