Mia Summers Novels & Stories

I wonder if she knows they are both in love with her. “It's going to be a good summer,” I try to diffuse things and let Mimi breathe because Max won’t stop complaining to her. “Yeah, a long one too. When I am back, I will be so different. More badass,” Max Snickers and I agree. She will be. I can only imagine what my summer is going to be like. But I have a clue, as my eyes find a pair of silver ones that are heated and trained on me. Yeah. It's going to be a long, hot summer.

Then she asked with eager excitement, “Uncle Mike, next time can you take me back to your place to catch fireflies again?” Mike laughed softly. “Of course. Anytime you want.” Miranda quickly added, “Mia, there aren’t any fireflies right now. They only come out in the summer.” “Oh. Okay.” Then Mia started walking around with the phone in her hand. In the background, Felix briefly came into view, sitting on the couch in Miranda’s living room. His sharp eyes flicked across the screen for just a second. Mike clearly noticed. He smiled and asked, “Are you with Daddy?”

"What did you get up to?" My summer break was terrible. Father paraded me around to potential suitors as he intends to have me married the moment school is out. "Not a lot," I say, swallowing hard at the thought of even recounting how terrible it was, especially as Azira always has the best summer breaks. "What about you?" "I went with Mia to Saint Kitts for a month. It was glorious." She holds a hand against her chest. "I want to be back there. The weather was to die for."

They both yelled out in unison and laughed. ****** Once they got home, they took turns in cleaning each other up and bandaging the wounds they'd both inflicted on each other. Jason grabbed them all kinds of junk food and they sat in front of the TV as they ate and played games. "I have the most awesome idea for this summer vacation." Jason started but Eric groaned knowing his best friend. "What idea?" He asked. "Let's spend it in Sincity." "What?" Eric sounded tired. "It will be fun!" Jason yelled out excitedly.

By Halloween we'll be knee deep in dead leaves, freezing temperatures, and a rainy winter mix. Once the beautiful part of fall ends and the dredges of winter begin, I always curse my misfortune of living in Michigan. Every year at this time, my dream of moving to Florida is revisited. Today as I watch the rain lazily slide down the windows after hitting with such force the thought of my beach escape doesn't come.

You are a woman my dear, daddy replied with a smile. Mia and I met at the town square as the sun was setting. The air was crisp and the sky was painted with a beautiful array of pinks and purples as the Feasts of Luna began. "It's just starting," she said, smiling. "Wait until the moon rises and the fireworks start! Then you'll really be in awe." I nodded, feeling my heart race with anticipation. "I can't wait. This is just the beginning, and I already feel like I'm in a dreamscape."
