Conversation With Friends Novels & Stories

“I feel like our time together is too short. We never really have a full conversation.” “I know,” I mirror his smile, typing my number into his phone. “There,” I look up from the screen. “Now you can text me, Michael.” “I'm putting this down as half conversation,” he winks. “Goodnight, friend.” “Goodnight,” I hug him, “See you around, friend.”

And to make sure he can finally tell me about his brother's necklace. "Okay, bye, Gene. See you before Thanksgiving." I lean on the cushion as I sigh. “You’re usually talkative during your phone conversations.” Startled, I almost let out my habitual shriek before I turn to Luca who has been eyeing me for a while. I was immersed with my conversation with Gene that I forgot about him. "Err...yeah, b-because we are best friends. If it was with other peers, I wouldn't talk that much." "I figured as much." Then he adds, "But if you want to continue, don't you have Whutsapp or Macebook to talk to him?"

What if we ended up having one of our many fight mid conversation in front of my friends, that would be embarrassing Nope, tonight wasn't for that. Dinner would go great and I'd be spending the evening with people who actually care about me What could I possibly need Elion for?

*** The next day at school, I decided to seek my friends' advice. Thinking about everything over and over again was starting to make me feel like I was going crazy, so maybe hearing someone else's opinion would help. During lunch, Evelyn, Roland, and I were sitting together as usual when I finally decided to bring it up. "Can I talk to you two about something?" I asked. "Yeah, sure. What do you want to talk about?" Evelyn asked, giving me her full attention. Conversations like this didn't normally come from me, so she immediately knew something was wrong.

"I had also seen your posts with Cody. Haven't you outgrown him yet?" I rolled my eyes, grabbed my phone, and headed for my bedroom. "It’s a best-friends-for-life thing, mother. I could never outgrow him." "Don’t tell me you two are already having sex?" I grimaced instantly. "Ew, gross, why would you even think that?" "Come on, you are both adults. Everyone knows males and females can't stay that intertwined forever. Either you like him, he likes you, or — worst of all — you are copulating."

It was refreshing to have a simple, lighthearted conversation with someone new. "So, what do you usually do to pass the time when things are slow?" she asked, refilling my coffee cup. I thought for a moment before replying, "I'm actually a part of a pack, a close-knit group of friends. We spend a lot of time together, and it's always an adventure." "That sounds amazing," she remarked, a touch of curiosity in her eyes. "Tell me more about your pack. What kind of adventures do you all go on?"

Sara asked, as she patted the first friend's back. " Good to see you again!' " I miss you." The other two friends joined them, and they all laughed lightly. After their greetings, they all took their seat and ordered what they wanted. They talked about their thesis progress and shared some updates about their lives to each other. It was a serene dinner filled with laughter. After their normal talk, the three friend talked about their love lives, each with a sweet smile on their face. It seemed they found the right person, and it was even very obvious. Sara noticed this and smiled, feeling happy for her friends.

Mitch and I falling out would be pretty devastating, but our friendship has been so long standing I struggle to think of what would cause us to severely clash like that. "No I doubt that, I just mean that all of our conversations would be about work. There'd be no separation of the two" I reply. You see it all the time; two friends going into business to ultimately lose their friendship to the numbers and the meetings. "But then on the other hand, you could be going into business with one of your best friends to create something really amazing for the both of you. Like what we were talking about today" Amelia replies, always the optimist.

I couldn't remember the last time I had such a moment. As we ate, our conversation turned to more serious topics, discussing current events and the state of the world. We debated the pros and cons of different policies, analyzing the arguments from all sides. It was a healthy and respectful discussion, with everyone offering their opinions and listening to each other's points of view. I felt like I was learning something, growing as a person, just by talking with my friends. I realized that this was what I had been missing, this connection and understanding. And I was so glad to have found it again.

It makes it a little easier to connect with her than Lenora or Ashley, who are in their mid-twenties. I pull back the covers and pat on the bed so she will come lay down next to me like we do when James is on duty and Bronx is out of town on business. We like to binge watch Chopped or baking competitions and eat junk food until we fall asleep in my bed. We come up with our best menu ideas that way. I miss my best friend. It feels like I haven’t spoken to her in weeks. She giggles a little and slides onto the bed next to me. Once she snuggles in the bed with me, I throw the covers over her and give her a big hug. She hugs me back tightly before she lies on her back and takes my hand in hers,
