Didn't See That Coming Novels & Stories

she asked and suddenly I saw a glimpse of worried look. “Anyway, don’t hesitate to talk to Dad or me if you need anything.” Saying that she walked away to put the jewelry and I walked to the bed to put mine. But then I felt my mobile, vibrating which I didn’t leave from my hold. I glanced at Di to see her engrossed in her thoughts, staring at the mirror. “Hello?” I asked, lifting the call. “I just got myself informed that they didn’t had a pre-nup.” That’s all James said and I frowned.

“I don’t know.” I frowned, she didn’t know. That to me didn’t make any sense. She came all the way from wherever she was coming from for no reason? I doubted it. “Nick came to see me.” she continued, I wondered what that had to do with her being in my house. “He made me understand somethings I may have overlooked. No, I didn’t overlook them I just didn’t want to see them.” Still, I had nothing to say. What was there to say about that? nothing if you asked me. to me, it was like she was venting.

I'm happily digging into a hot dog by the roadside when, sure enough, I spot my girlfriend, Jennifer York, in Felix Kenner's latest post. The caption reads, "You make the best medicine." After being stood up by Jennifer so many times, I've long since stopped caring. If anything. I'm starting to think I should break up with her as soon as possible and let the two of them be together.

I reiterated and the anger that flashed across his eyes as he glared at me should have sent a shiver down my spine but it didn’t because it didn’t matter who he was, what mattered was who I had become- The one person he never saw coming.

A creeping air clung to him, instinctively making others uneasy. "You shouldn't have kept your husband waiting for so long." That was the first thing he said after entering the room. "But this is our first meeting, and you don't know my rules. I'll forgive you."

“And how come I didn’t know?” Of course, I didn’t get it. I wasn’t worth another glance all my high school. Being obese and wearing rimmed glasses with baggy clothes, nobody ever bothered to befriend me. Except Nina. I was immersed in thoughts when Nina’s voice brought me out of the reminiscing. “Yeah!” She nodded enthusiastically. “Everyone’s coming. Like—everyone. It’s been planned for months. I thought you knew.” “I didn’t.” I said flatly. “Maybe they forgot.”

she seethed, As I stood there under the power of her wrath, I knew I had to say something but I was too taken by surprise to be able to form my words, even though I had known a day like that was coming, I never saw it coming so soon, "What did you just say?" Everyone's attention turned towards the direction where the voice came from, but I was too scared to look up, frightened by what would happen next.

Was I just being absent minded, ignorant or simply unaware? "I can't invoke to see the future because It àlways comes without warnings. It shows me what is going to happen any time soon in the future when I didn't call for it. It could come as a dream, a premonition during the daylight or any time when I least expect it. It always just set in without warnings but I am glad I got accustomed to it and now I can control it better without freaking out by the things I see," she explained but I was still curious.

“Theirs is minor, just a little injury here and there that antiseptic and drugs can cure. But the others had to be taken to the intensive care unit.” My grip on the phone tightened. A slow, burning rage crawled up my spine and my jaw clenched so hard I thought my teeth would shatter. “Who the fuck did this?” My voice was low, menacing and dangerous. Silence. Then, the hesitant reply. “We don’t know yet. No one saw them coming.” It was as expected. No one will always know who they were. I exhaled sharply, my fingers curling into fists. No one saw them coming? That was bullshit. Someone had to be watching. Someone had to be guarding this damn place!

“I’m not coming back…” Her eyes slowly changed as she processed what I said, morphing from sadness to confusion. They shifted back and forth quickly so she could take in my expression as much as possible, to absorb any detail she may have missed. Her fingertips were suddenly light against my chest. “What’s that supposed to mean?” I saw the fire before the spark. I saw the inferno before the rage. “It means what it means. I’m not coming back.”
