Didn't See That Coming Novels & Stories

"How did you know that?" I did not have an answer. I just knew, the same way I knew the lockdown was coming, the same way I sometimes knew a storm was rolling in before the clouds ever showed themselves. I told him I had heard something. He let it go, but I saw the way his eyes lingered on me a second too long before he turned away, the kind of look that meant he was filing the moment somewhere to think about later. I did not tell anyone else. Not Mara. Not Riven.

Besides, he didn't think anyone would. “Ruby, the first time I set my eyes on you, I felt something I had never felt before, and I was so furious because you incited that in me, something I didn't think I could feel. I was furious a complete stranger did, someone who I didn't even know, and worse of all, someone who wasn’t even my type. I don't usually date women like you, but the ones I've dated definitely haven't made me feel like that before, not even the mother of my kids.

"I'm sorry. I forgot that you don't heal like us..." I breathed out and looked at him. "You don't need to apologize. I mean... Like, I agreed to it. All I did not know is that Tyler wanted to break my knee." I said as I quirked an eyebrow involuntarily. His Adam Apple moved and it was just an insane second, I saw that he was nervous and scared but he was quick to cover it up. What is happening to me? Why can I see these things but it disappears like it never happened?

After practice I didn’t wait at the usual wall. Moved to a new spot. Watched the exits. He came out with the crowd. Blended right in. Walked past me without slowing. But I caught it. Tiny flick of the eyes. Not recognizing. Just… noting. Then gone. I let him walk. Didn’t follow. Not yet. Because now we knew: he wasn’t here to grab anybody. He was here to watch. And watchers like that don’t quit after one look. Back at the apartment the air felt thicker.

" It's not everyday that happens now, boy." "Are you seriously on her side now?" This was ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. " You're joking." " I'm actually not." She adjusted her halo. " Do you really mean to tell me, that you didn't see it coming?" To be honest, I didn't. After my last few victories, I assumed she would lay low. But boy, was I wrong. She came at me with full force, much worse than I'd expected." "If you didn't see this coming, that's on you Noah…"

" Go, go so people dont see us coming out together" Looking at her over my shoulder, " You dont think they didn't see when we came in here?" I love the way she blushed before pushing me out of the bathroom, smiling to myself. I thought, 'It's not like we were hiding it anyway.' I made it to where everyone was sitting. As soon as I sat down, Leo said, " I thought we lost you for the night?"

I paused for a moment, remembering where I had seen this code. "DEATH!" I quickly looked at Evan, ah, I even forgot that I was with the IT guy in our company. I nodded at him "I forgot you were with us!" "That's pretty easy code, so?" Evan exclaimed bragging. "We can't go down this path can we?" I called out to them and everyone was of the same mind as me.

His outburst clearly irritated me. Maverick grinned. “Because I saw the look on your face when Corbin told you female vampires couldn’t have children.” This didn’t make me feel better, it actually pissed me off more. “Ugh, that is not something to laugh about,” I hissed, punching his shoulder with force. “Hey now, I wasn’t laughing that you looked sad when he said you couldn’t have kids. I was laughing because you are forgetting one thing,” He declared, giving me a look of satisfaction that he knows something I don’t.

he stood up facing me " why do you want " I couldn't say anything…. Why do I care if he comes or not? I mean it's a good thing I don't have to see his face. I tried to understand my heart . " Nothing " I shrugged my shoulders " just asking " with that I left the room. I don't know why knowing that he is not coming with us the excitement I had was not there anymore What is wrong with me this never happens before…. Why is it bothering me so much….. I couldn't help but think .

Words that tasted ancient, heavy, inevitable. During training last week, I’d dodged a strike I hadn’t even seen coming. Not because I saw the movement but because I felt it, as if my body had known before my eyes did. It had scared the hell out of me. This morning was no different except for one thing.
