LOGINAria thought she had her life figured out… until she caught her boyfriend cheating in the middle of a crowded bar. But instead of breaking down, she does something reckless- something completely unlike her. She walks up to a stranger and kisses him in front of everyone unplanned. What she didn’t expect was for that one impulsive moment to change everything. The kiss goes viral overnight, dragging her into a spotlight she never asked for, and the “stranger” turns out to be Damon—calm, controlled, and far from ordinary. To protect their reputations, they agree to fake a relationship, turning one mistake into something much bigger than either of them planned. But pretending starts to feel real, and the line between what’s fake and what isn’t begins to blur. With her past refusing to stay buried and Damon keeping parts of himself just out of reach, Aria realizes this was never just about a kiss. It was the beginning of something she may not be ready for.
View MoreI didn’t sleep well that night. I think a part of me already knew I wouldn’t even before I got into bed, because no matter how I tried to shut my mind off, everything just kept replaying in different ways, not just the obvious parts like Ethan or the kiss or even Damon, but the smaller things too, the things I didn’t pay attention to at the time but now felt like they mattered more than they should.At some point I stopped trying to force myself to sleep and just stared at the ceiling, letting my thoughts run because holding them back felt even more exhausting, and the more I let them wander, the clearer one thing became.Something wasn’t right.Not in a dramatic way, not in a way I could immediately explain, but in that quiet, uncomfortable way where you can feel it before you understand it, and no matter how much I tried to ignore it, it stayed there.By morning, I didn’t feel rested at all, just tired in a way that sat deeper than sleep could fix, and for a while I stayed in bed lo
I didn’t like the way he went quiet after I asked him that question, because it wasn’t the kind of silence that meant he didn’t have an answer, it was the kind that meant he did and just didn’t want to say it, and somehow that made everything feel heavier than it already was.For a moment, I kept looking at him like maybe he would change his mind and just explain everything, but he didn’t, and after a few seconds that stretched longer than they should have, I looked away first because I wasn’t about to stand there waiting for answers from someone who clearly wasn’t ready to give them.The thing was, I wasn’t even surprised, because from the moment all of this started, Damon had been like that, calm, controlled, always saying just enough to keep things moving but never enough to actually understand him, and I was starting to realize that whatever I had stepped into, it wasn’t just about a viral video anymore.It couldn’t be.I sat there for a while, trying to piece everything together
I didn’t realize how much things had actually changed until after Ethan left. For a while I just stood there staring at the door hoping he would come back, maybe he would say something that would make everything make sense again, but he didn’t, and the silence that followed felt heavier than anything he had said while he was here.It was over, and not in that quiet, confusing way it had been ending for weeks, but in a way that felt final, like there was nothing left to fix and nothing left to go back to even if I wanted to, and the strange part was I didn’t feel as broken as I thought I would, which only made me realize that maybe I had already been letting go long before last night without even knowing it.I let out a slow breath and turned around, and Damon was still there, exactly where I left him, watching me in that calm way of his like nothing ever really shook him, like he had already processed everything and moved on from it.“You didn’t have to say anything,” I told him, bec
Aria's POVI knew things were going to get worse, I just didn’t expect it to happen that fast.The moment Damon posted that picture, everything changed almost instantly, like the situation doubled overnight and suddenly the video wasn’t just a random clip anymore, it had meaning now, a story people could follow, something they could talk about like they knew me.My phone didn’t stop buzzing, and at some point I stopped trying to keep up because it was just too much. Messages kept coming in, notifications piling up, people I hadn’t spoken to in months suddenly remembering I existed, all because of one moment I didn’t even plan.I sat on my bed scrolling through everything even though I knew I shouldn’t, because every comment felt like it was pulling me deeper into something I didn’t understand yet. Some people thought it was romantic, some thought it was messy, some were already judging me like they knew my entire life story, and the worst part was I couldn’t even correct any of it.Be
