Jameson Miles The Stopover Novels & Stories

“And I don’t know what it is about you that’s keeping Ethan from terminating your contract. Whatever game you’re playing, it’s a dangerous one with these people, Ms. Foster. You don’t know Evan, and you don’t know Ethan. You don’t know any of us.” Millie’s heart raced as she absorbed his words. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide with fear. “Mr. Jameson, where are you taking me?” Mr. Jameson, sensing her fear, paused and gave her a reassuring yet cryptic smile. “Come now, and you will see.” She then remembered Mr. Jameson’s son-in-law. “Are you taking me to Mikael?” Mr. Jameson’s eyes widened in surprise. “How do you know—” He stopped himself, then sighed. “Evan,” he said, the

My cheeks and lips were a sickly shade of blue, and my skin bore signs of frostbite. I lay there quietly, as if soundly asleep. But everyone could see it was just a dead body. Ava covered her mouth and started to sob out loud. Jamie hid behind Dad, quietly asking, "Dad, what's wrong with Lyra? Why is she lying there? Is she cold?" After Mom was taken to the side, a patrol officer began asking them questions. "When was she left behind at the rest stop?" "Around… 4:00 pm," Dad answered, his throat dry.

He used his connections to send me here. Suddenly, my phone rings. “Excuse me for a moment,” I said. “Hello?” I said as I answered the phone. “Sophie, I will be having a business trip for 5 months in Rome. Uhm, I contacted your university to book you a room in a dorm. Will you be fine with it?” he asks. Eh? A dorm? Is he serious? “Huh? Why? I mean, I can ask our driver to send me to school,” I said. I have a driver, why would he find a dorm for me?

James smiled and said, “There are still two to three thousand years more before it occurs. That’s more than enough time. I’ll be back as soon as possible before the conference.” Since James insisted on leaving, Jules could not help it either. “Then, I’ll send you off.” Afterward, Jules accompanied James out of Sky City and headed toward Elixir City. “Take care, Mr. Caden.” Jules waved him farewell. “Please be careful, Sir! I’ll be waiting for your safe return in the Elixir Pavilion!” Monica also waved at James. James said smilingly, “Alright. You two should head back.” With a flash, James disappeared from their sight.

"Miles." Miles smiled and embraced them, his arms warm and familiar, his laughter filling the room like sunlight breaking through clouds. "Meadow, Hazel, I didn't know you were here." Rose was surprised to see him, her breath catching in her throat. Miles was based in California because that was where Giselle's biggest chain of supermarkets were. The ones in Chicago were small, so Giselle managed them herself. Seeing him here, now, sent a rush of warmth through her chest.

Miles pov “Miles, can you take over my shift? I really need to be somewhere right now.” James’s voice pulled me out of the haze I’d been drifting in since breakfast. He stood in the narrow hallway of the call center, those big doe eyes wide and pleading, hands clasped like he was begging for his life. James was objectively gorgeous—smooth golden skin, full lips that always looked bitten, lashes so long they threw shadows. Half the regular callers requested him by name. I’d always found him hot in a casual, appreciative way, the kind of attraction that never went anywhere because my brain was too busy obsessing over someone else.

I scroll down further. Then stop. Everything stops. The whole world stops. The headline reads, Miles Hamilton Engaged.

As he turned his head and made eye contact with Aput he cleared his throat, "Alright everyone, I think it's time for bed, we'll talk more tomorrow," “So, I think it pressing we get better acquainted,” Jasper said aloud the next day. “I don’t know why we didn’t on the boat,” He whispered to his niece, as he cleared his throat and promptly made eye contact with Miles. “Yes, Mr. Wiley will you delight us with stories or truths about yourself?” As Miles lightly coughed into his clenched hand he scanned the room, he then rubbed his hands on his worn-out blue jeans. “Sure uhh, I was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.”

She answered, put it on speaker and down on the table. "Aaron? Things are kind of going south over here. James has me at gunpoint. He figured me out," Emily said, her shallow breaths giving away her fear. "Oh wow, really?!" said Zoey. "Zoey?" "James?" Aaron rolled his eyes, using Zoey's surprise to overpower her. "Give me that!" 4 hours earlier... (Maine) "You're named after a city?" James asked as they got off of the plane. "We're kind of a big deal, J man," said Johnny as he passed by.

But the other part of me knew that when it was just him and I; he allowed his guard to slowly fall away. “I’d like that.” “Where are we going?” James had been silent for the entire drive. He looked surprisingly relaxed with one hand on the wheel and the other resting on his leg. We’d been driving for almost an hour. “Somewhere special,” he glanced over at me just as the corner of his lips curled, “I promise.” Another fifteen minutes passed before we pulled into the parking lot of a tiny mom and pop like diner in the middle of nowhere. I hadn’t seen a home in miles, and we had driven far outside of the city. Despite that, the parking lot was full.
