Meeting Her Novels & Stories

She pushed me out of the house and locked the main door. She jumped into her car and drove away in pursuit of her husband. My cabin was just a few streets away, so l left. I was sound asleep when I suddenly woke up. My phone was ringing non-stop. It was my boss. When I picked up she sounded like she was drunk. She instructed me to come over to her place. It was past midnight and I was afraid but I couldn't say no. It was windy and the rain was coming. I grabbed an umbrella and my story book and made my way down.

It had been exactly 24 hours since he had found Autumn in the meadow they met in years ago. She was still so beautiful. She looked older and like the weight of the world was on her shoulders. He could tell by the bags under her eyes that she wasn’t sleeping much. Her body was much more frail than he remembered. But she was still perfect to him and all he ever wanted.

There was the message she had been waiting for. -Meet me in the café.

It’s like she wants to meet me and have a date, just now she didn’t want to talk to me and now she has a meeting. “The org?”

What's the gain? She reaches me and sits on the bench, always closer than I prefer. I drift aside and look at her. "It's not a coincidence today. Anyway, Good morning", I say. "Good morning", she rolls her eyes and settles the water bottle aside. Then she looks back at me curiously. "I didn't get you. Not a coincidence?" "Well", I sigh. "I have come here to meet you, Thea. I guessed you would be here" Her eyes freeze on me for a long second as if she's unable to digest what I said.

Heck, there was a nagging pull in her gut that told her this was the only place to start. She met his determined gaze. "Let's go meet my aunt."

Maybe, one day their family could get closer and he could introduce his wife to her. She turned back to her phone with a smile still plastered on her face, ‘Let’s meet tomorrow.’ ‘Fine by me.” His response was short but had pleased her so much. She was finally meeting what she would call her best friend.

she nodded " and lastly, I want you to meet my friends. They are eager to meet you" " What! You told your friends about me ?" " of course,they know I have a sister. They are nice people, you'll love them when you see them " " oh OK. When will the meeting be " " Tomorrow " " That soon! " she was speechless " I thought maybe some days or even weeks " " Just calm down. You'll manage, I promise " She pout " OK then" ***

She indeed had no idea who turned out to be meeting her at this time. ***

I gasp, meeting her soft, wary gaze. TBC
