Maya was a hardworking and dedicated girl who often spent late nights chatting with Z. However, she didn’t realize that their conversations were taking a toll on her work and studies. One night, Z, who was drunk, asked Maya to meet him, but she declined the offer as she knew the risks involved. Although there was an unspoken attraction between them, Maya wasn’t ready to take that step.
The next day at 6 pm, Z showed up at Maya’s doorstep with a bouquet of pink roses, knowing they were her favorite. As Maya invited him in, she couldn’t ignore the flutter of butterflies in her stomach. As the evening progressed, Maya cooked a delicious meal, and they had a lovely dinner together. When it was time for Z to leave, Maya didn’t want him to go.
Z shared stories from his childhood and college days, and Maya found herself drawn to him. Suddenly, Z pulled her into a warm embrace and kissed her. It was a short kiss, but as they broke apart, Maya pulled him towards her, and they kissed again. It was a soft, passionate kiss, and before they knew it, they had made love.
The next morning, Maya woke up to find Z sleeping beside her. She smiled to herself, feeling content but also anxious about what would happen next. She wondered if it was just a one-night stand for Z or if there was something more.

Short, crisp, and well portrayed Moni. It reminded me of newfound love, infatuation, and that insecurity almost every girl has after making out with her boyfriend.
Why does maya think it was a one night stand. The story is well written and I would love you to expand on the story.
I enjoyed reading the story of Maya.It is easy to read,interesting and flowing well.
Love your writing , it is absolutely intriguing. Would love to read more about Maya.
I am looking forward to read the next chapter and see if it was indeed just a one night stand. I wouldn’t think so, as one night stands don’t spend nights talking until dawn.
This is such a great story. I hope it’s not a one night stand. If he brought flowers, it’s a good sign!
wow…in just few words, you described the romance and feeling of insecurity, uncertainty so beautifully. I liked how you used the word making out instead of crossing the line. Thats the dilemma, uncertainty any girl would go through after making out even if they feel the same attraction towards each other.
Loved it! Where is the next part?
We’ve all been in this situation. waiting and having patience is the best thing to do!
I’m anxious to know if it was a one night stand! I’m sure that is a stressful thought!
I also enjoyed reading the story of Maya. I’ve found it so interesting. You described the romance so well. Thanks for sharing it. – Amalia
This was a good story to read. Now I am waiting for the next chapter
I really love your style. It’s succinct but not boring or sterile, and you really have a great way of developing and moving the story along.
I see you’re going into short stories now…nice. Short and interesting. Hope it expands more because it was a one-night stand lol.
First I really like the title of story. it has raised my curiosity and you had fulfilled my expectation by narrating it so well. looking forward to read more from you.
Reading this story about Maya is enlightening (in a weird way) I feel inspired.
This is a great story of Maya. I would love to read more. Well written story line.
I had a good read of Maya story here & can’t wait for next part to continue & follow the whole story, hope not a long wait ya 😀 cheers, siennylovesdrawing
Uh-oh…I hope not. Z sounds like a great guy. but well, many start out like that. hehe Hope Maya doesn’t experience heartache.
I loved reading it but i would have loved to know more about Z and why Maya was attracted to him. Just a thought, nothing to take away the credit of putting it down in words so well.
Wow so interesting i enjoyed reading the story of maya. thanks for sharing love it.
Very well written! I can’t wait to read the next chapter and see if indeed it was a one night stand.
Written in an interesting and intriguing way. Loved the writing style too and looking forward to read the other part.
Nice story. Why think ahead? Enjoy the moment and time spent together.
Unfortunately, we never know what others think. Sometimes we realize too late that we were just a one-night-stand for someone even if we wish things were the opposite. Great read! 🙂
Oooh I need more please, I love this writing!
A short, crisp and intriguing piece. I enjoyed reading it and found it interesting.
Read it twice to fully grasp the story. it was well written and somehow, find a little mysterious.
I enjoyed reading this piece, and am looking forward to seeing if there is more of the story to come!
I’ve been there, done that, and got the picture. Can’t wait for the next installment.
One-night stands can start to feel like a slippery slope, if you’re not emotionally prepared.
I doubt it was a one-night stand but it was too fast and obviously East fantasy but a romantic one.
Very great writing…I usually don’t like these types of dramas but I just kept reading to see what Maya would do and how she & Z are connecting. Plus, it is weird to be in the mind of a woman as she ponders all of this…seems like a lot going on with Maya while Z is probably thinking of 3 things…Good Dinner, Sex with a Hot Girl, Sleep!
Interesting — I am curious to see what happens next. These stories have been fun to read — waiting for the next one!
Far too short, far too short – I want to hear more! On the other hand, it’s exactly this briefness that makes the story so gripping. You are gifted with so much talent 🙂
You should add “to be continued” at the end…you have me hooked! Rooting for Maya and lasting love!
So what happens next? Does it remain a one-night stand or does it develop into something more! Waiting to read….
I definitely wanted to read more. I was really drawn to the story. This is really great writing.
This is a lovely story. You pictured very well for us and howe every moment occurred.
I hope it’s not a one night stand. It might have potential.
Nicely written and very engaging to the reader. Would be wonderful to know the next part of it as well.
like your story and writing sytle! I will def come back for more. thanks for sharing about it 🙂
Great read! I would LOVE to know what happened!!!
I admire the way to go through the story and then end with a question. Very captivating… Waiting for the next part to be published.
cant decide yet…wheres the rest of the story..quite intriguing,,,i hope its gonna be a happy ending
ah yes! the one night stand… Can’t wait to hear what happens next. I guess I’ll have to stay tuned ; )
Confused. You did say made out right? Not make love …
yup…
it is written so sweet. I really wonder what would happen next. And I hope for romantic ending
Loved the short story and it clearly spoke about the doubts and insecurities that a girl has in when in a relationship. Short n crisp story.
Beautifully written. I think many women are familiar with this feeling after being intimate. Hoping for the best for Maya
This is interesting. I believe this is a series? I am looking forward to reading all the other parts. Thank you for sharing.
This is not fair 🙂 I want to know what happened next..you cant keep the reader hanging 🙂 I am a sucker for such stories and this is so relatable..online romance
I can’t wait to see what happens next! I hope it wasn’t just a one night stand for Z. I actually like them together as a couple to be honest.
I enjoyed reading of Maya. I wanted more. Very well-written.
An interesting and relatable account of either the beginning of the relationship or something else!!
Beautiful story. I just loved this and looking forward to read other part of this story. Love, romance, insecurity all feelings are well portrayed in this short story.
Short read yet with a crip interest that makes us wait to read the next part.
Short and crisp story. You captured the thoughts of every girl who is in love. Liked the way you weaved the story
He stayed after the night that means it was not a one night stand hopefully! Waiting for the next part.
what a vivid narration!! M waiting for the sequel now. 🙂
Beautifully written. While there’s nothing wrong with one-night stands, the fear of just that when you’re feeling as though you want something more is something that many people have struggled with! That confusing state of limbo before you know where you really stand…
A great short story. Would love to read more about her. There is good detail and it captured my attention.
Hmmm. Interesting read. I understand Maya’s concern. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Such a lovely story! I hope it’s not a one night stand Can’t wait to read the next part!
This is a well written nice story.I enjoyed reading it…
Wow, Maya is intriguing and has me all curious to know what happens next. Very well depicted.
What a nice short story this is. It could’ve been better if there’s a link for part two.
Hmm i could relate to her feelings of insecurity; being unsure on one hand & the attraction, excitement of new found , unnamed love. Passion often leads us to make decisions we might regret later; hope this doesn’t happen with Maya.
Wow! That story kept me hooked on! waiting for the next part, well-written, building suspense and keeping the pace.
Well written n waiting for the next write up to know what happened next to Maya – Intriguing

Very intriguing. I’m very much awaiting to read the next part. On why she would think that way .
I am looking forward to read the next chapter and see if it was indeed just a one night stand. Totally crisp and short .
Oh I feel those butterflies right in my tummy. Can’t express it but its just there the tingling and the unrest and pacing heartbeats. beautifully presented for sure. I am waiting for the next – urvashi
Such a cute and to the point short story. But would like to hear what happens next.
Loved your story and waiting for more points to come in. You presented it so well.
Enjoyed the bite sized story. Short and crisp but enough of an hook to look forward to the next chapter.
I loved reading it and seriously waiting to the second part of it. I hope some twist and turns are there in the next part.
I loved the flow of fiction. Indeed an intriguing one, My curiosity level is going high more than Maya; was that really a just one-night stand for Mr.Z? Looking forward to knowing the further part.

Why does Maya think it was a one night stand? I am intrigued to read what happened next. I really liked the flow of the narration.
Aptly written Moni… Reminded me of those moments in college, when we feel the same tingle, that goosebumps, fast paced heartbeats, etc. I am eagerly waiting for the next chapter.
Interesting read, I don’t think it’s a one night stand thou, they don’t sleep over if it is .
Short and sweet story, Doesn’t really seem like a one night stand since they typically spend a lot of most nights together anyways and he was leaving but she had him stay.
It’s funny how the minds of guys and ladies work differently in these situations. It was such an interesting read, anyways.
This is a well-written piece and it’s nice to see fellow bloggers showing more of their creative side!

Aa..that butterfly in the stomach feeling ~ Interesting story indeed. Wonder what happens next!
I absolutely love this short little story. It’s sooooo easy to read and gives mr all the feels. Keep it going!!
Reminded me of college days… When girls hearts’ pace faster at glances and smiles being passed by someone. Well written and waiting for the next chapter…
Strange but true. May be it was not, but we never know what’s next. Nicely written.
Wow! Such a beautiful story of that keeps the readers focused till the end. Would eagerly wait to know what will be next.
Interesting read. Sometimes you’re unaware what the sparkle in some men’s eyes mean so I guess what happens next is intriguing.
Well written story. Would love to read the next part and see if it really was a one night stand or did it culminate into something else.
Well, it is not clear whether it was just a one night stand or true love that was starting to brew between the two. I would wait for the next post to know what happens. Intriguing story nonetheless!
Very well written story. I really excited to know what happened next. Waiting for next chapter
A short story which was quite intriguing and has caught my interest! I’m hoping its not a one night stand, but rather the beginning of a relationship or a dream only 🙂
I am super intrigued and eagerly waiting to know what happens next. Loved the narrative how what is going on inside maya is expressed and portrayed
Just so much loved reading it, short and apt.. and waiting for the next part.
Story is very well written and write interesting. I am waiting up for the next episode eagerly. Could easily relate to a young girl meeting her boyfriend and they first glance and kiss.
It was so engaging I am looking forward to know what happened in the next part.
oh you left all the readers guessing what’s gonna happen next. Was it really a one night stand???? I am eager to read the next part of the story.
An interesting question but I don’t think it is, it’s something more and it depends on how Maya handles the situation 🙂 Looking forward to knowing what’s next. 🙂 – Knycx Journeying
