Zaria and John had been spending a lot of time together and the more they did, the more they found themselves drawn to each other. They had become close friends, but there was something more there, something that neither of them wanted to admit.
John had been fighting his feelings for Zaria for a while, but he could no longer deny them. He was falling in love with her and it scared him. He knew that if he acted on his feelings, it could mean the end of his friendship with Zaria and he wasn't sure he was ready to take that risk.
On the other hand, Zaria was also struggling with her feelings for John. She had been attracted to him since the day they met, but she was afraid to act on her feelings. She was scared of what her family would think if they found out and she was scared of how John would react.
Despite their fears, the attraction between them was growing stronger and they found themselves spending more and more time together. They would go for walks in the park, have dinner together, and even just sit and talk for hours.
John and Zaria were both aware of the growing attraction between them, but neither of them wanted to be the first to admit it. They were both scared of what would happen if they acted on their feelings.
But as the days passed, their feelings for each other grew stronger and they both knew that they had to make a decision. They had to decide if they were going to take a chance and risk it all, or if they were going to stay in the safety of their friendship.
