Your Lips to Mine #6: Skybound Hearts Flight 31
Trust had always been a strange thing to me. I didn’t know how to define it. I didn’t know how to build it or even if I could, because it had never been something that came easily. Growing up, I learned to guard my heart. I didn’t want to let anyone in too close—didn’t want anyone to see the cracks, the parts of me that were always left unhealed. I guess it made sense that I had built my life this way, always wary, always holding something back. I’d seen too many people disappoint me, and I couldn’t afford to be vulnerable again. But with Adrian, everything felt different. It wasn’t like I’d set out to trust him—at least, not in the way I had with others in the past. It was more like he had chipped away at all those walls I’d built around myself, slowly, patiently. I had never expected to let someone in the way I had let him. And what surprised me even more was that it didn’t feel like a loss of control. For the first time, it felt like I was sharing a part of myself with someone who

The evening air was heavy with the scent of rain, a cool breeze slipping through the open balcony door as I curled up on the couch in Adrian’s apartment. It was one of those rare quiet nights when the world seemed to pause. Adrian was unusually fidgety, pacing back and forth across the room. I watched him out of the corner of my eye, his brow furrowed, lips pressed into a thin line. He hadn’t said much since dinner, which was unlike him. Usually, he filled the silences with charming anecdotes or questions about my day. But tonight, he seemed… distracted. I tucked my legs underneath me, resting my chin on the arm of the couch. “Adrian,” I said softly, breaking the quiet. “What’s going on with you?” He stopped pacing and looked at me, his gray eyes shadowed with a mix of apprehension and determination. “There’s something I’ve been thinking about,” he began, his voice low but steady. My stomach tightened. Words like that often led to serious conversations—the kind that left your ches

The sound of waves crashing against the shore greeted me as I stepped out of the car and took my first look at the secluded beach resort Adrian had brought me to. It was breathtaking, the kind of place that seemed pulled straight from a postcard. A long stretch of golden sand hugged the turquoise water, and palm trees swayed gently in the breeze. The sun was low on the horizon, casting warm orange and pink hues over the sea. For a moment, I forgot to breathe. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Adrian’s voice pulled me from my trance. He stood beside me, his hands casually tucked into his pockets, but there was a softness in his eyes as he looked at me, not the view. “It’s perfect,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. He smiled, the kind of smile that seemed to reach deep into his soul. “Come on. Let me show you where we’re staying.” The cottage was perched on a small hill overlooking the beach, secluded enough to feel like the rest of the world didn’t exist. Inside, it was cozy and

It had been less than a week since Adrian and I had returned from our blissful weekend getaway, but it already felt like a lifetime ago. The tranquility of those sunlit mornings and quiet evenings had been replaced by a storm of flashing cameras, endless phone calls, and a public judgment that I wasn’t prepared for. The first sign of trouble came early one morning. Adrian was still asleep, his arm draped protectively over me, when my phone buzzed incessantly on the nightstand. Groggily, I reached for it, expecting some mundane notification. Instead, the headlines glaring back at me made my heart stop. "Billionaire Adrian Blackwell’s New Romance: Gold Digger or Genuine Love?" "Adrian Blackwell’s Vulnerable Side Exposed: Is Isla Martinez Taking Advantage?" I stared at the words, disbelief washing over me. There were photos—candid shots of us walking on the beach, laughing over dinner, and even a blurry one of Adrian kissing my forehead under the stars. They should have been beautifu

I woke up to the harsh, cold buzz of my phone in the dark. It was far too early for anyone to be awake, but when I saw the notification, my stomach plummeted. "Adrian Blackwell and Isla Martinez Announce Hiatus Amidst Media Frenzy" The words blurred in front of my eyes, and for a moment, I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. There it was, in black and white, the news I had been dreading. Adrian had made a public statement. He said that we were taking a “hiatus,” giving our relationship the space it needed due to the relentless pressure from the media. I stared at the words. They didn’t make sense. He had done this—he had chosen to publicly put this wedge between us. The “mutual decision” sounded like a shield, something to protect both of us from the fallout. But I could see it for what it was: Adrian stepping back, thinking this was what was best, trying to protect me from the mess. But in reality, it felt like a betrayal. I kept staring at the phone, unable to stop reading the art

The world felt oddly quiet. Not the comforting silence of early mornings or the peaceful hum of flight attendants preparing for another flight. No, this silence was different. It was the kind that settled in my bones, making the air feel thicker, more suffocating. Since the break-up—or whatever we were calling it now—things had been nothing but noise. The media, the rumors, the constant bombardment of headlines. Each one seemed to pierce deeper than the last. I tried to shut it out, to focus on my work, on the routine of being a flight attendant—the endless hours of airport terminals, the dizzying heights of planes, the fleeting conversations with passengers. But none of it could stop my thoughts from drifting back to Adrian. I had always known how unpredictable life could be. After all, as a flight attendant, I was no stranger to the chaos of airports, the unexpected turbulence, and the endless interruptions of routine. But the one thing I never expected was to feel adrift. Adria

It’s 4:30 in the morning when my alarm starts blaring. I roll over, squinting at the screen. The numbers stare back at me like an old enemy. It’s too early for this, but I’ve been at this job long enough to know that my body doesn’t have a say anymore. The days blur together—late nights, early mornings, endless flights, and the same routine that starts again every time the sun rises. I don’t bother snoozing the alarm. I’ve learned the hard way that the extra five minutes never help. So, I throw off the covers, slide my feet to the floor, and stand up. The floor is cold, but that’s the least of my worries right now. I can already hear the sound of the coffee brewing from the kitchen, my one comfort. I stand in front of the mirror for a minute, letting my reflection come into focus. My hair is messy from sleep, and my eyes are still heavy. A sigh escapes me as I run my fingers through my hair, trying to pull it back into something manageable. My uniform is already laid out, folded nea

The soft hum of the airplane engines is a comforting backdrop to my thoughts as I make my way through the terminal. Today’s flight was a quick one—only a few hours, but I’m already bracing myself for the next. I’ve gotten so used to this routine that I could do it with my eyes closed, but something about the endless repetition leaves a hollow feeling in my chest. A nagging emptiness that I can’t quite shake, no matter how many miles I fly or how many faces I see. I can never get away from the truth of it all—that the connections I make are always fleeting, like wisps of smoke disappearing the moment I think I might hold on to them. As I enter the staff lounge, my colleagues are buzzing with chatter about today’s passengers. Nothing extraordinary, they say. Just the usual crowd. But as usual, I keep my thoughts to myself. I nod and smile, offering polite responses where required, but inside, I’m already thinking about the next phase of my day, the next flight, the next moment where I

Your Lips to Mine #6: Skybound Hearts Flight 30
The days following that conversation were hard. The weight of everything—Adrian’s business troubles, the media storm, and the constant pressure from all directions—felt like it was starting to crush me. But it wasn’t just that. It was what Adrian’s pain had been doing to us. I could feel him retreating again, like he was bracing for something, like he was trying to protect himself, even if it meant shutting me out. It scared me. I knew that I loved him. That wasn’t the issue. I was starting to realize, though, that loving him didn’t mean losing myself. Somewhere between the craziness of everything that had been happening, I had lost track of what I needed, of what I was willing to tolerate, of what I could give without it draining me. I needed space. Space to think. To reflect. And I needed to remind myself that, while Adrian was becoming such an integral part of my life, I couldn’t lose myself in his world. So, I took a step back. A small one, but one that was necessary. I knew Ad
Your Lips to Mine #6: Skybound Hearts Flight 29
Adrian’s world was crashing down around him. He could feel the weight of it pressing in, suffocating him. The emails and phone calls, the constant barrage of problems from his rival company—it all felt like too much. Every move he made seemed to be the wrong one, and his company, the one thing he had worked tirelessly to build, was slipping through his fingers. He was failing. But that wasn’t the hardest part. The hardest part was the way Isla was looking at him. He could feel her eyes on him, full of concern and frustration, and it made him want to run. He could already see the worry in her expression, the way she was trying to reach him. But he didn’t know how to let her in. He had spent so much of his life pushing people away, keeping them at arm’s length. He thought he was doing the right thing, thinking that if he could just shield the people he loved from the chaos, they would be safe. But it never worked. In the end, they always left, always ran from the mess he had created
Your Lips to Mine #6: Skybound Hearts Flight 28
The moment the kiss was splashed across the tabloids, everything changed. I should have expected it. Adrian and I weren’t exactly flying under the radar. But there was a world of difference between reading about celebrities and actually becoming one of the subjects. When the pictures of us—of him kissing me, of us together—went viral, it felt like the universe turned upside down. The media latched onto it like hungry wolves, and I could feel their eyes on me at every turn. I had never been one to seek attention. In fact, I’ve spent most of my life avoiding it. But now? Now, it felt like I couldn’t escape it, like every movement I made was under a microscope. Every word I said was dissected and analyzed. The worst part? It wasn’t just about me anymore. It was about us. About Adrian and me. The headlines didn't care about who I was, what I wanted, or what I was capable of. They only cared about one thing—my relationship with Adrian. "Isla Whitmore: The Gold Digger?" "Adrian Pierce’s
