Into Your Orbit

Connecting at a young age Ayceion and Nikhol build a friendship that unexpectedly separates them, leaving Ayce with a yearning heart. He wanted nothing more than to care for her as best as possible. When the opportunity presents itself, Ayce just does that.

Nikhol didn't think the tall boy with the prettiest shade of brown skin who lived in her building would become her first real friend. Ayce was her first true love, and heartbreak at twelve years old. In a sense, Nikhol resented him but thanked him for changing her life as well.

Afraid to let him completely into her world when the universe aligns their paths a second time, Nikhol does what she knows best and runs. Not far, though, because Ayce didn't let her. His name should've been in the dictionary next to apply and pressure because he did exactly that. Now that he was back in her world, Ayce wanted to reside there and give Nikhol no reason for her feelings to shift.

This is a short tale of love, loss, and the rekindling of what was always destined to be.
