Novel & Cerita Kept You Waiting Huh

Waiting. Preparing. So was I.

(Author’s POV) Ruby remained trapped in darkness long after the mysterious man left the room. The warmth of his touch still lingered on her cold fingers. His voice echoed repeatedly inside her mind, ‘I’ve loved you for five years. I’ll wait’. Her heart still fluttered uncontrollably remembering the tenderness in his tone. Everything felt unreal. Just moments ago, she had awakened to the horrifying truth that she had been unconscious for two years. Before she could even process that shock, an unknown man had entered her darkness like warmth in winter and confessed feelings so deep they made her chest ache.

Waiting to see. if we would answer again. ✨

what are you waiting for? Across the street, Maria and Rose are not even trying to hide the fact that they have come to a complete stop in front of my house and have been listening to everything from the beginning and are still waiting for more. What am I waiting for? A childhood sweetheart who made it clear that she doesn't want to go home? A friend who has found love where you always love him since you met him? Crazy dressed in green leggings? Eww no ... - Give me 15 minutes to change.

It was a valid reaction so I let it slide. “Sorry, I kept you waiting. So fill me in. What do they talk about?”

I finally said, my voice loud enough to carry through the door. There was a beat of silence, and then, “I can’t.” “Why not?” I asked, my tone sharper than I intended. “Because I can’t lose you,” he said, his voice breaking slightly. I squeezed my eyes shut, leaning against the wall. “You already did.” The words felt like a slap, even to me. He didn’t respond right away, and for a moment, I thought he might actually leave. But then he said, “I’ll wait. However long it takes.”

“Come fetch it tomorrow morning.” Keyah wanted to shout. She had waited to get her hands on the package for so long, and now that it was almost within grasp, waiting even a moment longer seemed like having to wait an eternity. But she kept her frustration to herself. “Thank you, Mr. Munro. I’m really very grateful that you held on to it.” The old man nodded again. Keyah and Aaron exited the store. Once she was safely ensconced inside the car, Keyah banged her head against the steering wheel.

“I’m always waiting for you.” Hearing this, Kiran felt no desire, only frustration.

Almost instantly, a message popped up: "Been waiting for you.” I froze, staring at the words. Waiting? For me? But... who?
