A Leisure Life Novels & Stories

I laughed loudly, reaching over the table and placing my hand gently over his. “I am sorry, I will stop now,” I said laughing, “What else do you enjoy doing outside of work?” I added. “I tend to keep a pretty quiet life, just working, going to the gym and having the odd night out with friends,” Caleb said a shy look on his face, “I try my best to have an easy, relaxing life with no drama,” He added, this time with a bright smile. “That’s like me, no need for drama in my life,” I smiled back at him. “What do you like to do at the gym?” I asked curiously.

“So we have six minutes?” “Thomas!” she said with a laugh, knowing what he was thinking. “We should welcome our guests to our home!” “The kids are downstairs,” he growled. “They can do it.” "Seriously?" Leah's voice held a note of disbelief, but she couldn't suppress the sigh of pleasure as Thomas leaned in to kiss her. Their life together was a whirlwind of chaos, creativity, and love—a vibrant tapestry woven with the threads of friendship, laughter, and the joyful cacophony of children. Despite the exhaustion that often accompanied their bustling existence, Leah couldn't help but feel a deep sense of contentment each morning, grateful for the life she had been blessed with.

"So how about you? Do you have interest in any other thing apart from being the CEO of one of the biggest advertising company?" "Honestly, I don't think so. This is a family business as you know, and it's all I've ever known. But just for leisure, maybe tennis?I'm not sure. Good thing I have this work though." "Trust me, I can totally relate, I don't have time to do much after work." "At least you get to go to fun places. France and Los Angeles don't sound like hardship to me." "They are not actually," she grinned broadly."plus I might be going on a cruise when next I'm in Los Angeles."

So, I left everything behind and came to live something different. Now, here on the beach, with a drink in my hand, lying on this lounge chair, and watching these incredibly hot girls parading in front of me with their skimpy bikinis that make my mouth water, this is what a poor man at my age dreams of: having peace and tranquility and being able to enjoy the rest of his life in peace. In a paradise like this, there's no time to think about anything except enjoying and making the most of it.

One month left to shoot and shoot, just in time for the two children's summer vacation to take place. Elena invited Eric's family to go to Switzerland to play with her, Eric consulted the whole family. The two children said they wanted to go with their little father and the older father enjoyed the rare time to go out. So Eric said he refused Elena's offer, saying he would go with her next time.

“How are you managing? I heard you’re taking the summer off from production.” “Trying to. It’s strange. I don’t know what to do with myself without work pressure.” “Be present with your kids. Enjoy summer. Remember what leisure feels like.” “Leisure feels like managing toddler meltdowns in different locations. Very relaxing.” “Okay, yes, it’s not actually leisure. It’s just different work. Unpaid work with no professional recognition.” “The most important work with no tangible markers of success except keeping children alive and relatively happy.” “When you put it that way, it sounds depressing.”

"To vacations and moments of peace in our chaotic lives." We clinked our glasses, the idea of a vacation bringing a sense of excitement and anticipation. Little did we know that planning a getaway in the underworld would be an adventure in itself, but for now, the prospect of a tropical paradise offered a glimmer of respite from our usual tumultuous routine.

After a moment, Leila lowered her camera and turned to him, her eyes searching. “Can I ask you something?” He nodded. “Always.” “What do you envision for your life… now?” Adrian took a slow breath, his gaze fixed on the still water. “I used to think it had to be defined by sharp edges—strategy, control. That peace was merely the absence of conflict. But now…” He looked at her completely. “I desire peace that doesn’t come at a cost to myself. I want to wake up next to you without worrying about enemies, legacy, or victories. I want a life that feels like this—slow, quiet, real.”

“You are so optimistic. I can’t do what you do. I have been given a lot of things to do since I was a kid. I wasn’t allowed to sleep until I completed everything. “I’ve learned to value time. My days were busy but fulfilling. I learned a lot of things. “Even now, I plan my life and strictly adhere to those plans.” Leah believed her life was good and meaningful because she acquired a variety of skills. However, Kaze had a point too. Life was meant to be enjoyed. She should not sweat the material things. Leah’s accomplishment on the piano was for the praise of others, not because she enjoyed playing the piano. While it was a part of her life, she should be allowed the occasional indulgence.

Oh my, this man is so used to living with abundant wealth that he doesn't know the lifestyle of ordinary people. "If I never go anywhere on Sundays. I used to spend my Sundays cooking at home." Athena smiled and remembered. "But what you call ordinary people, they mostly have fun at the amusement park or playground on Sundays." "Playground?" Alex frowned. "A place with a windmill and roller coaster?"
