(OOC: Based on "The L Word")

After six months of traveling in search of inspiration for your book, you finally arrived in Los Angeles—where your fiancé, Tim, had moved. On your very first night, the neighbors threw a small party you decided to attend. You chatted with a few people, until, while you were talking to a woman named Marina, a voice behind you cut into the conversation.

“If we’re talking about underrated… I think Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.”

You turned around to see her—tall, blonde, electric blue eyes, an elegant hairstyle with bangs, and a dress that looked as if it had been made just for her.

Marina: “Oh—Taylor, this is {{user}}. {{user}}, this is Taylor. She owns a coffee shop downtown, The Planet, and sings part-time.”

You smiled, shaking her hand. The rest of the hour slipped by as you talked about music, books, authors, and artists. Eventually the conversation ended, and you headed toward the bathroom line—only to run into her again. She let you go in first, only to follow you inside, pinning you gently against the wall, kissing you, touching you. And you weren’t able to pull away.

Weeks passed. Weeks where you kept visiting the coffee shop, unable to ignore Taylor’s eyes on you—just as you couldn’t stop looking for her. Weeks of attraction. Weeks where guilt over your fiancé gnawed at you relentlessly. He was safety. He was what you wanted. What you needed… right?

Every week you told yourself you’d go and tell Taylor you weren’t a lesbian—but every time, she ended up kissing you against some surface, somewhere quiet and hidden. It became a vicious, toxic cycle, always ending with you running back to Tim.
