"So, you were dating a monkey?" She teased, raising an eyebrow at Justin. He frowned at first but then burst into laughter. "Come closer," he said, motioning her toward him. She leaned in, bringing her ears close to his red lips. "I want to tell you a secret," he whispered, his voice low and teasing. "I don't actually like any of my girlfriends. I just date them for free p***y," he confessed with a mischievous grin. She couldn't help but burst into lauughter. "You're such a pervert," She said, still giggling. ~~ Ivy and Justin have been best friends for as long as they can remember. But Ivy has always wanted more-she's always wished Justin could see her as more than just a best friend. What will happen between these two?

View MoreIvy froze, staring at him speechlessly as a whirlwind of emotions crashed over her—excitement, nervousness, confusion. She didn’t know how to feel, didn’t know what to say. Her heart pounded in her chest as she processed the moment.This was him. Her father. The man her mom had been talking to lately. She knew this was coming, knew they’d eventually meet, but nothing could have prepared her for the reality of it.“Ivy,” he said softly, taking a tentative step toward her. His voice was warm yet hesitant, as if afraid to say the wrong thing.She blinked, her mouth opening but no words coming out. She had imagined this moment so many times—what she would say, how it would feel—but now that he was standing right in front of her, all those thoughts disappeared.He stopped just a few feet away, his gaze searching hers. “It’s… it’s so good to finally meet you,” he said, his voice thick with emotion.Tears pricked at Ivy’s eyes, her chest tightening as she fought to keep her composure. This w
Emily sat nervously, her hands clasped tightly on the table as she glanced at her watch again. Almost two hours. She had texted Robert earlier, asking him to meet her here if he wanted to, but his silence had been deafening. Still, she held onto hope.She let out a deep sigh, her mind racing with doubts. What if he didn't want to come? What if he'd decided that whatever connection they once had wasn't worth revisiting?Just as she reached for her bag to leave, the door to the restaurant opened with a faint chime. Her eyes darted to the entrance, and her breath caught when she saw him.Robert.He paused briefly, scanning the room until his gaze landed on her. For a moment, their eyes locked, but then he looked away, as if unsure or hesitant. Emily sat back down, her heart thudding in her chest as he walked toward her."Hey," he said quietly, stopping just in front of the table."Hi," Emily replied, her voice soft, almost tentative.Robert hesitated before pulling out the chair across f
"I’m not going to pretend I don’t understand where you’re both coming from," Ivy said, her voice steady but firm as she looked at her mother. "I get it—from your perspective and his. But you both need to stop dancing around this and just talk it out like adults."Emily sighed deeply, nodding. "I’ve tried, Ivy. I’ve called him, I’ve texted him, but he’s ignoring me. He’s still upset.""Don’t worry, Mom," Ivy said, placing a reassuring hand on Emily’s shoulder. "If he really wants to meet me, he’ll come around. You’ve done your part. Now it’s his move."Emily chuckled softly, though her eyes betrayed her lingering doubt. "Oh, Lord, I sound like some high school girl in love," she said, shaking her head.That drew a laugh from Ivy, light and genuine. "You kind of do," she teased, grinning.Emily joined in the laughter, the tension easing between them. ~~The morning was crisp as Ivy made her way into the school parking lot, her bag slung over one shoulder. She kept her gaze fixed ahead,
Justin forced a smile, nodding absently as Kulture showed him something on her phone. He wasn’t really paying attention. His mind was stuck on Ivy, seated just a few rows ahead, oblivious to the turmoil he was feeling.He couldn’t help but steal another glance at her. She looked focused, her eyes trained on the teacher, her pen scribbling notes in her notebook. It was the little things about her that always drew him in—the way she tucked her hair behind her ear, the soft smile she’d give when she figured out a tough problem, the way she’d tease him when he messed up.This was why he had to distance himself.It wasn’t the first time he’d tried this tactic. Pulling back, giving her space, ignoring the feelings that seemed to grow no matter how hard he tried to suppress them. It always worked—or at least, it had before.He’d give it a few weeks, apologize for being distant, and everything would go back to normal. That’s what he kept telling himself. That’s what had to happen.Because the
Robert stared at Emily, his face a mixture of shock and confusion. For a moment, it seemed like he hadn’t heard her correctly. “You… you got pregnant?” he finally managed, his voice barely above a whisper.Emily nodded, her gaze fixed on the ground. “Yes.”His eyes searched hers, looking for some kind of explanation. “Did you… did you keep the baby?”“Yes,” Emily replied softly, her voice steady but filled with tension.The silence that followed was deafening, punctuated only by the distant hum of traffic and the rustling of leaves. Robert’s jaw tightened, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides.“You kept the baby, and you didn’t tell me?” he asked, his tone sharper now, disbelief etched into every word.Emily flinched but held her ground. “I didn’t have a choice, Robert. You were gone. You left town. I didn’t have your number, and I couldn’t exactly walk up to your family and tell them. They wouldn’t have believed me.”“Emily, I would’ve come back,” he said, his voice risin
"I’m so sorry," Ivy whispered, her voice trembling as she stepped back, trying to catch her breath.But before she could move further, Trevor’s hand slid to her waist, pulling her closer to him. His touch was firm yet gentle, leaving her no room to escape. Without a word, he leaned in, capturing her lips in a kiss that sent a jolt of electricity through her body.Ivy’s eyes widened in shock, but then, almost involuntarily, she melted into the kiss. It was intense, unexpected, and everything she didn’t know she needed. Trevor kissed her like he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, his hands steady on her waist as if grounding them both.For a fleeting moment, it felt right—too right. But then reality hit.They both pulled back, their breathing heavy and uneven. Ivy stared at him, her mind racing with questions she couldn’t begin to voice."I—" she started, but the words wouldn’t come.Trevor opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Ivy turned and bolted
"Hey, Mom," Ivy called out the moment Emily stepped into the house. She set her bag aside and walked toward her mother, who seemed unusually lost in thought. Emily’s gaze softened when it landed on Ivy, and she quickly made her way over, sitting across from her."I saw him today," Emily said, her voice tinged with a mixture of excitement and nerves.Ivy raised a curious brow, a smile playing on her lips. "Him? You mean... my father?"Emily nodded. "Yes. I saw Robert today."Ivy’s eyes lit up with interest. "Robert Monroe," she repeated, testing the name on her tongue. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "It’s nice you gave me his name, even though I didn’t know much about him."Emily gave her a small smile. "It felt right, even back then."Ivy leaned forward, eager to hear more. "So, what happened? Did you two talk?"Emily hesitated for a moment before admitting, "He asked for my number."Ivy’s grin widened. "Oh, you both are getting somewhere," she teased, her voice play
Emily was caught off guard when she bumped into Robert outside the café. She hadn’t expected to see him after their brief interaction at the supermarket. He had looked at her with a hint of recognition, but this? This felt different, like a twist of fate. She froze for a moment, unsure of how to react, but the warm smile on his face was enough to make her relax a little."Well, if it isn’t Emily," Robert said with a smirk. "I didn’t think I’d run into you here. After the other day, I thought we were done with coincidences."She blinked, a little surprised. "You thought I wouldn’t be around?" she asked, genuinely curious.He shrugged with a casual grin. "I mean, I didn't think we'd end up crossing paths again. But here we are."Emily felt a strange wave of relief, and maybe a little excitement, but she couldn’t figure out why. After all, he was the last person she ever expected to see. Still, she smiled. "I guess life has a funny way of making us bump into people we least expect.""Exa
Ivy stared blankly at Stephanie, who was now leaning against the wall, a mischievous grin on her face."So, what are you going to do?" Stephanie asked, tilting her head, clearly enjoying the drama unfolding in Ivy's life."I'm not doing anything," Ivy replied curtly, brushing off her friend's question. "It's not like there's anything to do."Stephanie frowned, folding her arms. "Don't play dumb with me, Ivy. You literally almost kissed Trevor. Almost kissed Trevor," she repeated for emphasis, her grin returning.Ivy groaned. "It wasn't like that," she insisted, but her cheeks betrayed her, heating up with the memory.Stephanie gasped dramatically, pointing at her. "Oh my God, you're blushing. You are so Team Trevor now!"Ivy rolled her eyes, trying to ignore the swirling confusion in her chest. "I'm not 'Team Trevor.' Stop calling it that.""Why not? He's hot, he clearly likes you, and let's be honest-Justin's been acting like a complete jerk lately."Ivy opened her mouth to argue but
Ivy stood at the edge of the crowded school hallway, her eyes following Justin as he effortlessly made his way through the throng of students. His laugh echoed down the corridor, drawing the attention of nearly every girl in sight. But it wasn’t just his good looks or his charm that made him popular—it was the ease with which he moved through life, always with a smile on his face and a joke at the ready. Justin was the kind of guy everyone wanted to be around, and Ivy had been by his side for as long as she could remember. To the outside world, they were the perfect pair of best friends. But to Ivy, it was something much more complicated. She watched as Justin leaned in close to a group of girls, his voice dropping to a low murmur. The girls giggled, their eyes wide with admiration. Ivy rolled her eyes, unable to suppress a smirk. Typical Justin, she thought. Always the flirt, always the center of attention. But then, his gaze caught hers from across the hall, and a grin spread...
