Meet Me By The Fountain Novels & Stories

The reply from Asher came through an hour later: Wanna meet at Central Park? 4 pm by the fountain? My stomach did a full somersault. Central Park. The fountain. It sounded so date-like. The panic set in immediately. I couldn’t do this alone. My thumbs flew over my phone’s screen, typing out a frantic message to Jax. Asher wants to meet at the park at 4. By the fountain. Can you come? Please? The three dots appeared, then his reply popped up, brutally short. Busy.

"I'm going to ask him to meet me." Emily's eyes went wide. "Tonight?" "Tonight." "Where?" I thought about it. Somewhere neutral. Somewhere not his mansion. Somewhere I could run if I needed to. "The Garden," I said. "By the old quad. At sunset." "And what are you going to do when you see him?" I swallowed hard. "I'm going to find out what happens when I don't run away." Emily squeezed my arm. "That's my girl." I looked back at my phone. Took one more breath.

I insisted, squeezing his hand and giving him an assuring smile. I sighed heavily as my eyes met with Enzo’s eyes. He strides over, closing the gap between us, and I take a step back. “6 pm. Meet me by the river banks” He orders before turning to leave/ “What?” I’m confused “Did you think you get off just because you are not training with the rest of the team?” He raised a brow as I shook my head. “Good.” He turns, walking out of the room as I furrow my eyebrows.

“No thanks Cici. Thank you for bringing the file, I need to look through it.” “Oh, okay,” she replied, the disappointment heavy in her tone. It took her some minutes to leave and the moment the door closed behind her, I snatched up the letter. There was a faint nice fragrance on it. —To the light of my world, I would love to finally see you in person, that is if you want to meet me. I would be waiting by the fountain close to the park by 4pm. Till we see my sun, have a beautiful day—

We kept swaying to the beats of the infectious music until it was over. I hugged him and whispered into his ears “ Meet me at the water fountain on the outskirts of the village.” I said, trying desperately to keep my nervousness away from my voice. I could see the naughty smirk that was quick to show on his face and if there was one thing I wanted to do right, it was to make sure that the night was a memorable one.

The King and Queen looked at us curiously and I hid my face from them. He let go of my hand but before walking away, he whispered, "Meet me by the fountain at night." Fountain?! What fountain is he even talking about? I have no idea where that is. "Hey, you!" I turned around and saw a man with a general uniform on and. my eyes widened. I immediately ran behind a house and luckily, Wilbur talked to him in order to distract him from following behind me. I breathed heavily before letting out a sigh of relief. Ever since I got into this world, I never had a break. This is exhausting.

The note I wrote was short yet significant enough to ignite the flame. "Meet me tonight at The DE LUNA RESTAURANT. 8 PM. don't be late."

If only he can say those words. As per his instructions, I wait for him by the giant fountain at the front of our mini-mansion. My hand dips in and out of the water, I giggle at the freezing temperature as I make a mental note of the things I will do in his absence. There are a lot of things here I am yet to explore, I am getting a hang of the inside but the outside remains a maze.

Is it because I am with Lauryn and everyone knows that we are serious? All these things clutter my head making it impossible to concentrate on work, so I start cleaning my desk and find the note again. Opening it, I read it aloud. "1 p.m. at the fountain." I look up at the clock and decide I had better go find out what is going on. Arriving at the fountain at 12:59, I start to pace back and forth impatiently. Looking at my watch, I completely miss a man walking up behind me. "Hello, are you Darren Hamilton?"
