Just Because Someone Stumbles Novels & Stories

We’re just…two people,’ I thought, feeling the soft swell of emotions within me that I hadn’t acknowledge until now. Suddenly, I felt my foot slip, my heel catching on his shoe, and I stumbled, my heart racing with embarrassment. “Oh! I’m so sorry,” I stammered, looking up at him, slightly ashamed. He only laughed, his expression warm and amused. “It’s fine, Anita,” he said, a light teasing glint in his eyes. “I think my toes will survive.”

She bumped into someone. The person who bumped her lent his hands to help her get up. Without hesitations, Lila grabbed it and looked at the person in front of her. It was Lucas. Due to shock, Lila’s hands accidentally slipped from his hands which made her fall on the floor once again.”Stupid,” he mumbled making Lila furrowed her eyebrows.

It's a shame to pass it up, especially since I am saving for my tuition. I was carrying a tray of drinks when someone bumped into me. The person just came out of nowhere. It happened so fast, I didn't see him coming. Before I knew it, he had already bumped into me, which made me spill the drinks (on the tray that I was carrying) on his clothes. On his expensive clothes. Shit. The sound of the glass crashing on the floor barely registered in my mind as I was busy staring at his soiled clothes. "Fuck." I heard him mumble.

‘Goodbye Stan. I picked up my purse and walked away; from the chaos, the embarrassment; I walked away from it all. My vision was blurry and I felt tipsy as I walked out, that I stumbled when I bumped into a man. As I fell, all the contents of my purse spilled out. I was in disarray and confused. I tried to stand up but I couldn’t. The man I bumped into didn’t say a word, but I could see him from the corner of my eyes, helping me pick up my things.

I promptly rise from bed, take a refreshing shower, brush my teeth, and slip into my workout attire. Today, I am determined to go jogging, so I ensure to bring a bottle of water with me. As I embark on my jog around the fort, I take the time to create mental landmarks and fully appreciate the beauty of the natural environment. Suddenly, a girl whom I unintentionally bumped into calls out for my attention, "Hey, watch where you're going." Realizing my mistake, I promptly apologize, "I'm sorry." However, the girl's gaze indicates that my apology fails to satisfy her.

Everyone is just happily pushing me straight toward an early grave. My head was still spinning from the argument with Dylan, anger boiling hot under my skin as I walked blindly down the street, not even paying attention to where I was going. And then— Thud. I bumped straight into someone. “Ouch!” I yelped, stumbling back a step. Great. Just great. Another problem. Suddenly I heard a loud scream. “Ahhh!” I blinked, startled, as a middle-aged man staggered backward like I’d hit him with a truck instead of a simple shoulder bump.

After all, if Aura needed help, she would say so directly, as usual. Aura continued walking, even though she felt a little unsteady. Why did it suddenly happen like this? Aura shook her head slowly and left the room, but because she was not focused, she stumbled and fell into the arms of a stranger man standing nearby. Luckily, the man reacted quickly, otherwise, Aura would have landed on the floor! *** A few moments ago…

“Ehekhekehekhekhek…” I can tell how silly I look now, I can hear me giggling and cooing at myself. I look at the floor as I scratch my nape, trying to hold my smile back a little, in case somebody sees me and thinks that I am crazy. Whereas it’s just then, when I ain’t paying attention to my surroundings, I suddenly bang into someone, right in front of Justin’s office. Our shoulders hit each other. “Whoa!” I take a few steps backwards because of the collision, the other person does too.

Ady said confidently. “Whoa! Is that so? I enjoy spending time with you. Why can’t a good-looking guy like me just be friendly?” "Friendly, your foot,” said Ady. “Luh! Can I be friends with the foot?” Ady almost tripped while having a lighthearted chat on the stairs. Someone accidentally bumped into me. It was so unexpected that I almost lost my balance and nearly tumbled down the stairs. To make matters worse, my backpack went flying off my shoulder. It was quite a scene. I quickly reached out and took Ady’s arm to prevent her from tumbling down the stairs.

"Everyone will see it eventually." She wanted to take another step but just then, her foot caught on the edge of the tiled floor, and before anyone could react, she slipped, stumbling forward and landing hard on the floor.
