We Are Always Present Within Each Other is a story about a love that begins quietly — from two boarding rooms facing one another. No grand promises. No dramatic confessions. They meet when they are very young. He is reserved, disciplined, and kind. She is innocent, soft-spoken, and slightly lost in a foreign city. Their feelings do not arise from sweeping gestures or cinematic moments. They grow through small things: bringing in laundry before the rain, ordering dinner for two, a first trip to the supermarket, simple conversations in a narrow corridor. When he decides to study abroad to build his future, they make no promises to wait. She stays. Eventually, she marries. Years pass. He returns — not to intrude, not to disrupt her life — but remains quietly present, appearing only when she truly needs him. More than thirteen years go by. He remains the same: calm, steady, loving in the way he always has — without possession, without pressure. She marries. She divorces. She hesitates. And still, he stands in a place that is difficult to define — not quite a lover, not merely a friend, but something deeper. A soulmate without a title. This story does not attempt to prove that a perfect man exists. It simply tells of a man who is kind enough, steadfast enough, and mature enough to love without causing harm. And above all, it is the journey of a woman learning to accept that she deserves love — not because someone is flawless, but because two people understand and respect one another. Because some relationships, no matter how many years pass or how far apart they drift, remain quietly present within each other.

This is a story I started writing when I was about 12-13 years old, after watching Stranger Things.

Amara Castillo never thought her first big break as a wedding coordinator would turn into a nightmare. Her best friend promised the job was for her cousin’s wedding, a glamorous event that could launch Amara into the top tier of her career. But it was a lie. The groom was not her cousin. He was her brother, Trey Alvarez. Amara grew up inside the Alvarez mansion as the maid’s daughter, living in the servants’ wing while luxury surrounded her. Trey was the heir, ten years older, raised to inherit power and wealth. Amara learned early how to stay quiet and unseen. For years, she loved him in secret. He was handsome, controlled, and carried the confidence of someone born for greatness. By the age of twenty-five, Trey had become the CEO of his father’s empire, shaped by pressure and expectations. On Amara’s fifteenth birthday, she finally confessed her feelings in the rose garden. For a brief moment, she thought she saw something forbidden in his eyes. Then his face hardened. “You’re just a child. The maid’s daughter. Stop believing in fairy tales.” He walked away and left her alone with her heartbreak. That night, the hopeful girl she once was disappeared. Ten years later, Amara is no longer invisible. She is now one of the city’s most in-demand wedding coordinators. This job should have changed her life for the better. Instead, it brings her face to face with the man who broke her heart. When they meet again, Trey is cold and dismissive. “So they trusted you with my wedding?” he says. “You’re not who I expected. I don’t want someone young and inexperienced handling it.” Years ago, those words would have crushed her. Now, she stands her ground. “You’re judging my age, not my ability,” she says. “That’s not confidence. That’s prejudice.” Trey is stunned. The quiet girl he once dismissed is gone. In her place is a confident woman who commands attention and does not back down. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot stop watching her. She was always supposed to be off-limits. Before, it was easy to tell himself she was too young and from a different world. Now, those excuses no longer work. Amara must plan every detail of Trey Alvarez’s wedding to another woman, surrounded by wealth, memories, and emotions she cannot escape. The longer she stays, the heavier the tension becomes. Glances linger. Silence speaks louder than words. Until one unexpected moment changes everything. Now, Amara’s career, her pride, and her heart are all at risk. Because planning someone else’s wedding is impossible when your own feelings refuse to stay buried.

Or was the sea demanding something from her?

Oh, and did he mention he had to deal with monsters and mystical beasts too?! ****************************************** Excerpt: “Kiss me.” Kenneth blinked. “What—“ “You heard me. Do it. Now.” Anger flashed in his eyes yet his body moved before his brain could tell him to stop. He reached for the Striker and their lips met. Kenneth poured his energy into Lucien, filling the barren pit inside his mind, giving him enough juice to keep going. The two pulled away, and Lucien’s steely eyes met his, holding him in place. “You always look like you hate anchoring me, but then you get that blissful look on your face that screams ‘I want more’. It’s cute.” Kenneth felt an unbearable urge to slap the smug smile off his face. But since now wasn’t the time to commit acts of violence against his pair. He held himself back. He would deal with him properly later. “Eat shit, captain.” Was all he said before sending him off. ****** A guideverse story with a little twist, hot and cold romance with a whole lot of slow burn (emphasis on burn because the MC refuses to admit his feelings, the stubborn fool).

With Mathieu and Lisa, my best friend and former companion, we form a trio capable of everything: from electric rock to pop rhythms, from acoustic ballads to afro-electro sounds. Every piece we play reflects our joys, our sorrows, our secrets, and our dreams. But music doesn’t just reveal our emotions: it also uncovers what we fear to say aloud. Between laughter and tears, between awkwardness and complicity, every rehearsal, every concert, and every contest becomes a confession, a challenge, and a moment of truth. Throughout our journey, you will discover our wounds, our friendships, our fragile dreams, and our secret loves. You will hear what we never dared to speak, but what we sing through every chord, every note, every lyric.
