I Meet Someone Novels & Stories

My childhood friend, Celeste Wren, sauntered in like she the queen she was. However, the cool smile on her face vanished the moment she saw me. Instead, a stormy look flashed to life. She crossed the room in a few quick steps and pulled me behind her. Her eyes swept over everyone in the house before landing on Lydia. Lydia was the first to speak, her face tight with hostility. "Celeste, what are you doing here?" The reason they knew each other was simple.

Some kind of…punishment? My phone vibrates in my hand. It’s a notification from I*******m. A message from Natalie. Natalie. I met her online a couple of weeks ago. She seems sweet, innocent. A refuge from this crazy world. The message reads: "Hey Mia! How are you?" Without thinking, I type back: "Hey! I'm…okay. Actually, would you want to meet up? Like, in person?" A response comes almost immediately. "OMG, YES! That would be amazing! When and where?"

Way to sweetly than needed. "So Joshua meet my friends this is Jordan" she said motioning to the boy sat beside her. "This is Mia, Jane and Kevin" she introduced more of her friends presented on the table. "Hi nice to meet you." I greeted not knowing what to say. "Why are you so nervous?" Mia asked after noticing my uncomfort. "It's just I'm not good in interactions with new people" I told her half truth half lie. The whole truth is I'm not even interested in knowing them.

I want a simple and private life remember…she laughed a little. Okay, can we meet somewhere where no one will recognize me? Alright, plan it. I can meet you anytime.

Teasing me with the possibility of us meeting here in Italy someday. Going on a date for the first time... Hanging out somewhere private and romantic... It's so weird. I'm infatuated with someone I just met online. Someone whose face I haven't even seen. Don't even know if he's ever gonna tell me where he lives. Probably not. I'm nothing but a pastime to him. A complete stranger who shamelessly sells herself on the internet. But I'm still holding onto hope. We'll meet sometime soon. I just need to be patient.

I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension as I made my way to the café where we had agreed to meet. As I entered the café, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped me, and I scanned the room, searching for his familiar face. And there he was, sitting at a corner table, his eyes fixed on his phone. A rush of emotions flooded over me as I approached him, unsure of what to expect. "Hey," I greeted, my voice filled with a mixture of nervousness and curiosity. He looked up, his eyes meeting mine, and a warm smile spread across his face. "Mia," he said, his voice filled with a hint of nostalgia. "It's been so long."

That was how we met in the first place. I walked to the second block. The plan had been to search all through till I found him but on getting in, I noticed the reception by the left. It was exactly like my own block. How come I never thought about this? "Goodness gracious!" I exclaimed. I was beaming with smile when I walked up to the receptionist. "I'm here to visit someone" I said without hesitation. She adjusted her glasses and examined me through the "where are your manners, girl?"

I pulled my phone out of my bag and texted I :Can we meet tonight, I need a friend. Z :Sure, we met at the venue yesterday if you don't mind.

And somehow, I'm just here trying to have one normal moment with my friends that I didn't even know I'd meet here. Nice.
