Was It Just A One Night Stand?

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. This is such a great story. I hope it’s not a one night stand. If he brought flowers, it’s a good sign!

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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! 🙂

  10. 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!

  11. You should add “to be continued” at the end…you have me hooked! Rooting for Maya and lasting love!

  12. like your story and writing sytle! I will def come back for more. thanks for sharing about it 🙂

  13. 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.

  14. cant decide yet…wheres the rest of the story..quite intriguing,,,i hope its gonna be a happy ending

  15. Beautifully written. I think many women are familiar with this feeling after being intimate. Hoping for the best for Maya

  16. 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

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. 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.

  21. 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

  22. Enjoyed the bite sized story. Short and crisp but enough of an hook to look forward to the next chapter.

  23. 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.

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. 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.

  27. It’s funny how the minds of guys and ladies work differently in these situations. It was such an interesting read, anyways.

  28. This is a well-written piece and it’s nice to see fellow bloggers showing more of their creative side!

  30. 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.

  31. 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!

  32. 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 🙂

  33. 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

  34. 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.

    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.

  36. 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
