I Blinked And Suddenly I Had A Valentine Novels & Stories

I swallowed when I saw her face naked. I swallowed again because of what I saw. Later on, I was stunned, and my eyes widened and tears started to flow. “What?! Valentina is Valerie?!”

"I need you." For what felt like a lifetime, all there was the sound of the machines. And then— Then the weakest squeeze. Valentine was shocked to her core. Her gaze had snapped up to his face. His fingers cramped once more, still clutching a little tighter around hers. And then, like the barest crackle on a radio squelch: "Our baby…" A sob broke from her lips. "Arnulfo!" His eyelids fluttered weakly open at last, dark eyes dazed but unblinking on hers.

I looked up at Taylor, my nails digging so deep into my palms that they nearly broke the skin. Ethan let out an impatient sigh. “It’s late. Why aren’t you staying home where you belong? What are you doing here? “And now you’ve ruined the mood, stirring up trouble for no reason!” Tears slipped silently down my cheeks. Not only had he forgotten about our Valentine’s Day, but the promises he once made—to cherish me for a lifetime, to always treat me well—had also crumbled into nothing.

It didn’t take me long to put on the red sleeveless gown Jacob had bought for me a month before, in preparation for Valentine’s Day/Night. Valentine. I giggled to myself and almost kicked my feet at the air save for the fact that I was standing. Jacob had been the most loving and considerate boyfriend I’d ever had, and I was looking forward to seeing him again. Just as planned, I was going to head over to his house and spend the valentine’s with him. And yes, we wanted to savor every minute, hence the reason why I wanted to be at his place before midnight.

Do you think it's too commonplace? "Nothing is ordinary with you." I smiled and yawned. My lips were caught by Valentina, and she gave them a gentle lick. Because we couldn't keep our hands off each other, we made love again that night.

But only because he didn't feel the same towards me as I did him. “Look at you all grown up, Addie. This should be a celebration not a, well, you know, an ice cream moment. It's fucking Valentine's Day!” Kris chirped, a grin stretching her lips. I chuckled at her joke, suddenly remembering the reason it was necessary for me to leave that family. I had a dream that had been on hold for far too long and it was time to alive it again. I nodded, wiping my tears, glad for the gift of friends I had. Even though we hadn't spoken in a year - not that they hadn't tried to reach out - they still accepted me with open arms like I never left.

The deeper I get into this world, the less I understand about my own life. Low in my stomach, a jolt spreads into my chest and down my spine, interrupting my spiral. My head lifts searching for a direction to focus on, the blanket slides from one shoulder as I sit a little straighter, my attention locking on the distant tree line beyond the compound. Nothing’s there. No sound or movement. And my gut knows something’s coming. Valentine’s eyes flick toward me as a knowing grin spreads across her face. She lowers her phone. "Those bonds really are strong." She chuckles.

“Just... here with friends.” I looked into his face, searching for something—recognition, care, anything—but he wasn’t looking at me anymore. He was looking past me. And maybe it was just my imagination, but he, once again, deliberately put space between us, as if he didn’t want anyone to see us together even though we were fated mates. “Surprise!” Jenny chirped, looping her arm through mine. “My Valentine’s gift to you!” Right…I almost forgot—it was Valentine’s Day.

My heart jumped into my throat. "Valentine!!!!!” I yelled loudly with every might I could muster.

He immediately took off the blindfold, then distanced himself from his wife. Elena blinked her eyes a few times as if to neutralize her eyes which had just been in the dark. She saw in front of her a white private jet with maroon lettering, then there was a block of large letters neatly arranged to form the sentence "you are my Valentine". The woman immediately covered her mouth, which spontaneously gasped, then turned to Ray, who was already carrying a bouquet of maroon roses and several heart-shaped maroon balloons. "You are my Valentine," Ray said with a smile.
