Hopelessly Romantic Novels & Stories

“What are you? A slam book? How can you love yourself when you don’t even recognize love itself?” Romance never goes out of style. It does not wither or die like plants in a glimpse of summer. We fall into its captivating curse the moment we find perfection in a soul filled with flaws. The second we see beauty in the laceration of their scars and lips maneuvered by deception, we are bound to plunge into the deepest fragment of their life. The day our heart palpitates at a rapid velocity is the day we chain ourselves to an immeasurable misery.

1| Half Hope, Half Love __________ "If someone you love hurts you, cry a river, build a bridge and get over it." __________ "I'm nervous, Scarlett." In the midst of choosing the attire for his special night, after probably scandalizing his whole closet and not getting the desired piece, I stopped my ministrations, only to turn around to look at his troubled expression. Very rare, indeed. "What if she doesn't like me?" When I made no move to correct him, he gauged my incredulous expression, but continued nevertheless. "You know I don't have much experience with women."

"How was it? Is it correct that your blind-date partner is not up to your taste?" She nodded. "Is there anyone that you unexpectedly encountered who made your heart jump excitedly?" She nodded again. How could it jump excitedly? It nearly jumped to death! "Wow! Just as I had said, it is so accurate. Then, it was also raining. Are there any more romantic happenings?" Arya turned her head around and with her long hair still dripping water, she quietly said. "Sophie, ah...... This chance encounter if it is good, it is called romance but if it is bad, it is called a nightmare."

And that hope was crushed during our stupid double date. I did like Roman. There was something dangerous about him which drew me in. Like my magpie, I love romantic movies. You know when the bad guy falls for the geeky girl and suddenly becomes monogamist? I secretly hoped that would be Roman. He would notice me and he would stop his manhoe’s ways. I know it’s not going to happen, but you can dream, right? Rain was nice. But more in a friendly way. Goddess, maybe we’re really stuck in a movie. He’s the guy that gets friendzoned while his good looking best friend gets all the girls. But I can’t help who I’m attracted to. And Rain wasn’t it.

Manjiro said, "for supporting us." It is fun during preparation. And scary during the ceremony, as a matter of fact. I was given the chance to experience the same. Although I wasn't given the chance to make it last. My selfish precept was to be aromantic by wishing despair for others. It only makes me even more bitter. I grieve on engaging myself in any romance for that reminds me of my own—hated—romance. This could be the least thing I can do when it comes to that, "I won't hinder your happily ever after." "What about you?" Linly questioned. "What about your happily ever after?"

It’s been 4 days since I stayed with River. And every single day has been filled with so much love and happiness that it doesn’t even make sense. How could this beautiful woman make me, someone who has admittedly never been in love, feel how I’m feeling. I didn’t think something this wonderful could ever happen for me. Her smile brightens my day, her laugh makes my chest warm, her kisses make my skin tingle. And I know that as soon as she leaves I will inevitably be heartbroken. And after my heart gets broken by her, I don’t think I’ll ever be the same.

I blinked fast, trying to keep them at bay as I took in the whole scene one final time. “No. I hate it.” I answered honestly. The fallen look on Alex’s face wasn’t something I ever hoped to see. “Why?” he questioned in confusion. “Why?” I scoffed out, waving at the surrounding. “Because this is too much. This is romantic.” I said that last word with disgust. “What is wrong with romantic?” “Oh well um let me think. Broken hearts?” Alex took a step towards and I shook my head, stopping him. “I want this date Alex, I really do. But I overthink crazy. And right now all I can think of is my heart getting broken tomorrow morning.”

I want to remember everything. "Your story seemed like a romantic comedy." I laughed and he sighed. Why did he sigh, is that relief? Adam stood up and stretched his body before holding his hand for me to take it. "To be truth, I wish our love story is just a romantic comedy..." His lips curled into a smile that was forced and my heart cracked upon seeing it. I will know the truth.

"Ah, she is one of the authors I handle." "I see. That girl was quite cute. You two are perfect for each other. Do you consider her as your girlfriend?" "Yes, Doc. Do not interfere with my love life, and focus on yours." "Haha, don't worry. I am worried for you because your sister mentions your too hopeless romantic." My damn sisters need to shut up.
