Novel & Cerita A Gentle Reminder

I added, gently reminding him like someone trying to emphasize something. He agreed with a nod while his eyes twinkled with understanding, eyes like someone sharing the same wavelength. "Yes, correct," his voice trailed slowly, as though he wished to drive a point home. His hands shifted to his phone, fingers tapping rapidly on the screen now, as he sent on the blueprint. "Check your phone, I just sent it," he said, in a soft and gentle tone, like someone reminding someone else about something. I nodded, turning my eyes to my phone to check my messages; my heart racing with anticipation like someone who was waiting on something important.

And if she was okay back there. My hand drifted toward my phone, thumb already hovering over her name. Are you seeing this? I almost typed. Are you alright? Before I could send anything, the screen lit up. A single notification. Tourist stay reminder: extension denied. For a second, I just stared at it, the words blurring as if I’d misread them. I hadn’t. I knew this was coming. I’d just been pretending it wasn’t. My chest tightened. So this is it.

If yes, do let me know. And yup, gifts are also appreciated. Have a nice day/night :)

Afterward, wrapped in a towel, I checked my phone and froze when I saw his name. Mark: Just checking in. I hope today is being gentle with you. The message was simple, but it hit deeper than he probably intended. Not invasive. Not overbearing. Just… warm. Thoughtful and gentle. My fingers hovered over the keyboard longer than I expected. Finally, I typed: Me: It’s been a good day so far. Thank you for asking. A moment later, three dots appeared—then stopped. Then appeared again. He was thinking about what to say.

It was from Veronica. The sub ject line read: A Friendly Reminder. I clicked it open, my heart sinking as I read the words: Be careful who you trust.

"Don't be too eager." The Lord stopped moving and Oliver pulled his tongue away to lick his fingers. He traced one over Callum's hole and the Call moaned louder. "This is... Oh god." Oliver began massaging the spot and heard the ragged intake of breath coming from Cal when he pushed his finger in, very, very slowly. "Oliver...please..." "Please what?" "Move your finger." Oliver thrust his finger deeper and curled it, finding the spot he'd been looking for. He brushed it lightly, then pushed a little.

Keep that important thing in mind! See you 👋 LOVE ALL❤️

It recalibrates. Quietly. Permanently.

This was placed deliberately and not quite long ago. It was a reminder that says, I’m here. I was thinking of you. A slow smile touched my lips in the dark. I put the empty glass in the sink. It made a soft, definitive clink. That was the sound, I knew then, of no turning back.

Notifications are still there from last night, but it's one dated this morning that catches my eye. C: Morning beautiful. I just wanted to take a sec and thank you for last night. It'll always be a special moment I remember. Have a great day! There are numerous emojis. Ones I never thought Caelin would use, but here we are. With a heart, a kissy face, and a hug. Regardless of how childish some might think it is, I smile, bringing my lip between my teeth, remembering how gentle he was. I'm just about to text him back when a car horn honks behind me, reminding me I'm in traffic, and probably should wait until I get to the office.
