Just Haven't Met You Yet Novels & Stories

Nana asked as Ate July widened her eyes. "Ah, that's right! I forgot to tell you. It's about tomorrow." I only stared at her and waited for her to finish her sentence. She coughed and sat properly, grinning widely at me. "We will be going somewhere the next day! Just the two of us. You know, girl stuff." She excitedly said. "Ehh? I thought that our families would meet and get-to-know each other?" They told me that this is what would happen every first day of the three weeks.

Jax: Have you arrived yet? I bit my fingernail, thinking of a reply. Me: Yes. I just arrived. Thank you. Can I just call you later? I need to get an Uber. Jax: Getting out already? Good for you. I’m stuck with my family tonight. I giggled. I was about to be stuck with my family, too. Me: I’m starting to count. It’s going to be three weeks, and you still didn’t find a date. Jax: Except there’s still one woman in NY that I haven’t fucked. Just tell me if you want to advance our meet-up.

Was she dreaming right now? “Meet up?” “Yes, just you and me. That’s if it is convenient for you, I don’t want to ruin your plans if you already have one” Audrey sighed, maybe she did a lot in her past life for things to get all messed up like this. “I am sorry jakes but I am currently out of the country and we won’t be able to meet” “Oh” he sounded disappointed, “I see, it’s no biggie by the way” “But we can meet up when I get back right?”

Living out the fantasy I'd constructed in my head a thousand times, except I wasn't in it. I'd never been in it. Not really. I'd just convinced myself I was, waiting in the wings for my cue that was never going to come. My phone buzzed. A text. Not from Taraji this time. Meerkat: Let's meet after work. 6 PM. No excuses if you really want to do this. I stared at it. Oh shit.

“Shit. I am so sorry. I swear she said Sunday.” “It’s okay,” I squeaked out. No. It’s not. It’s not fucking okay. Not at all. I am not ready to meet any of his family I didn’t already know. Shit. No. No. No. Can I climb out of the window? Scale down the wall like Spiderman? “Then why do you look like you just saw a ghost?” “I’m thinking how lovely it is that I get to meet her?” I offered lamely.

I was mindlessly scrolling through my social media when a message popped up. It was from an unknown number. UN: Can't wait to meet you at the Gathering! I paused to reread the text. Against my better judgment, I typed out a text. Me: Who's this? The reply was immediate. UN: I have a feeling you already know. My heart thudded in my chest, knots forming as I tried to decipher the message. Just what did they mean by that…?

Am I that readable? "I know, Jake, I just don't want you to find me boring or plain. I mean look at you. You could have any girl. I am way out of your league and it still feels like a dream that you are interested in me." I didn't meet his gaze and he placed his hand below my chin and lifted my face so that I was looking at him.

“Then tell me… what am I supposed to do?” “If you really want to see me,” I said after a long pause, my voice steady, “go and get that burial plot I told you to buy. We’ll meet there one last time.” The day we agreed to meet, the sky was dark with clouds. The burial plot Isaac had purchased was located on the outskirts of the city. The surroundings were peaceful, lined with tall pine trees swaying gently in the wind. This was the only respect I could give the child who never had the chance to come into this world.

"You must be hungry, you haven't eaten anything yet, besides, your food is going to get cold." "Thanks Matt," I say smiling.

He was already done packing up when he saw her. “Hello, I’ve never seen you before,“ he smiled. And what a smile it was. The guy was born to be a supermodel. He extended his hand. Suzanne took it and watched her hand disappear in his. His hand was so large. She wondered if everything else about his was large as well. “I’m Suzanne Summers. Your mother sent me here to meet you.” Tom’s eyes narrowed and he dropped the handshake, “Excuse me?” “She’s here with us right now in spirit. She’ll be leaving for the rainbow bridge in 5 days but she wants to say goodbye to you before she leaves for good.”
