I'm Only One Call Away Novels & Stories

I guessed that he was calling to urge me to apologize to Doris in the group chat again. I did not want to answer the call, but the phone rang over and over, as Luke called me over seven times. I was still in the pack cleaning up work, so he called the phone there and the phone was brought to me. "Alpha Luke’s on the line. Seems urgent," the guard said, handing me the phone. I took in a deep breath and reluctantly answered the call. "What is it?" I asked coldly. The moment I picked up the call, Luke's angry voice scolded me over the phone. Someone would have thought I was a servant taking orders.

"Who would you like to call?" "Camille."

The caller didn’t pick up or return the call I called twice and got no response.

My thumb hovered over the call button, heart hammering against my ribs. Just do it. I pressed the button and lifted the phone to my ear, holding my breath as it rang. Once. Twice. Three times. Then-voicemail. His recorded voice, calm and controlled, filled my ear. "This is Icarus. Leave a message." The line beeped. I froze. My throat tightened, words caught in my chest like thorns. I hung up. I couldn't speak. Not like this. Swallowing hard, I tried again.

My wish for you is a life filled with love and happiness, where you continue to grow into your true self and trust your instincts.

"I won't." I walk out after requesting lasagna with mashed potatoes and baked chicken for dinner. Making my way out onto the porch, my phone starts ringing, startling me in the process. The caller ID shows Dave calling, one of Malias' friends. "Taylor here," I answered, picking up. "Where are you, chicka?"

I can’t. I lower my hand slowly, trying to steady myself. My lips tremble as I speak, my voice barely a whisper. “I called you once,” I say, my words coming out shaky. “But there was no response.” My voice cracks. “I called when a co-worker handed me something you ordered... some skincare products. I thought… I thought that would be a good time to reach you.”

Damn it! I scurried for my phone immediately and getting to it, I took in a deep inhale as I called someone, the only person I could think of. “Oh, ar…” before the voice could come through, I spoke. “It’s me. I am calling that favor back in.”

oops, not all, her few teeth were missing. " I'll for sure, just don't call me uncle. It makes me feel old. Call me Rishi. I pestered her with sweetness. " Okiee" she giggled, and that made me smile for real. As her mood became good, I turned my head and gazed at the path while driving and just then I heard my phone's notification. grabbing my phone i checked the message box and read. *Dear customer +91########## is now available to take calls.*

Jack awoke to the sound of the phone ringing. He cleared his throat, and answered “Hello?” There was static on the line and after a long pause, there was a response. He could faintly hear someone through the static, but the voice seemed far away. He repeated a hello, and the voice responded. “Hello? Jack? Can you hear me?” It sounded like Catherine’s voice but she sounded far away still, like maybe she had the phone upside down or was distracted. Maybe it had been a pocket dial? Catherine continued through the breaking and static “Jack. Can’t….talk...long...I’ve been...Jack? Be careful...love you” Before he could respond, the call ended.
