I'll Wait Novels & Stories

I-I just responded' "Yes, yes I know. Just let me do this for now.. You don't know how much I waited for this"

My fiancee, Joanie Halter, and I live in the same city, less than five miles apart. And yet, we barely see each other more than twice a month. Whenever I ask when she's free, she always gives me the same answer. "I've just been really busy with work lately." Then, by chance, I come across her travel records. Out of the 52 weekends in the past year, she has bought plane tickets for 48 of them. The destination is always the same country, where her junior from school, Forrest Jacobsen, lives. She always leaves first thing Saturday morning and comes back Sunday night, rain or shine, sometimes even more punctual than she is about going to work. Our most recent date was yesterday, at the conv

But from his words, I think I just have to be patient. I took a deep breath. "I will wait for the right time for everything so that we don't have to worry. I will understand everything you have decided and I will trust you. Please don't leave me and ignore me. I will just wait aside. I will wait for the right time for the two of us, Patry ... "

and that word lingered longer than anything else, because pending means unfinished, unresolved, waiting. Waiting for the moment it decides again. And next time, it won’t ask.

I'll calm her down and come back. Wait for me. I read it twice, then lowered the phone. He still thought there would be something to come back to. After seven years, maybe that was what hurt most. Elliot was used to me waiting. Waiting through trials that ran late, dinners gone cold, birthdays cut short by client calls, vacations postponed until the next case was over. I had always told myself it was temporary, that he was building something for us, that one day all the waiting would turn into a life.

I hoped she would believe me and not suspect my pretenses. “It seems there’s no notification yet,” I replied hesitantly. “Maybe there’s a slight delay. Let’s wait a little longer.”

"We, this shit can never happen again." I took a step forward, my heart speeding as my fingers brushed against the edge of the desk. "Will you wait?" He looks stunned and confused, his brows drawing. "What?" I licked my lips, blowing out a breath through my nose. "Will you wait for me? For us? Until I am of age?" "Yes," he answered without hesitation. "It's fucking messed up how much I'll wait for you and I feel like a fucking pervert for waiting for you like a creep."

The room fell painfully silent for a moment. “That night, I thought I lost you…” His voice lowered dangerously. Ruby felt tears burning behind her closed eyes. “You became my first thought every morning and my last thought every night long before this coma, Ruby,” He confessed softly. “And these past two years…I fell even deeper” His thumb brushed gently over her fingers. Ruby’s heart melted slowly listening to him. No one had ever spoken to her like this before. No one had ever loved her with such quiet desperation. “I don’t care if it takes another two years or ten. I’ll wait” He whispered near her hand. A tear suddenly fell onto her skin.

There were only two seats left at the company dinner. One was in the corner, and the other was beside my secret boyfriend of three years, Julian Locke. I had barely taken a step forward when Julian called out to my best friend, Capri Leigh. "Capri, sit here." My coworkers immediately squealed with excitement. The group chat went wild too. "They look so good together. Just seeing them sitting next to each other is a treat!" "Has Mr. Locke ever asked someone to sit with him before?" "I bet he's got a thing for Capri. I don't care. I'm shipping them anyway!" Throughout the dinner, Julian avoided even looking at me to keep people from getting suspicious. Even when a server burned my ha

“I want to. But I don’t know, I guess I’m just scared. What if I fail?” He turned to face her fully now. “You don’t do flops, remember?” She laughed, softly. Willis didn’t rush her. “Don’t run away,” he said gently, “you’re finally stepping into what you deserve.” The room went hush with silence. Willis’s words lingered. Then abruptly, he said. “I waited for you,” Ivory’s breath caught. “I figured you were busy. But the longer I waited, I started thinking the worst.”
