Missing Out On Love Novels & Stories

As Alaina steps up onto the sidewalk right outside the bar I can see Cal’s eyes growing larger, darting from me to Alaina. “I don’t know why you want me to stay out of here Callum but I will find out!” That’s all I heard before I headed to the back door and left. Ironically as I walk away from the building the song that they are playing is rather apt for the situation at hand! ****There’s no tenderness like before in your fingertips, you’re trying hard not to show it, but baby, oh, baby I love it. You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling, whoa that lovin’ feeling, you’ve lost that lovin’

A/P "Love is missing someone when you’re apart, but feeling warm inside at the same time." ~A/N

I lost the love of my life, and I had no one else to blame but myself. A single mistake was all it took for me to lose the love of my life. One mistake and our relationship went up in smoke. I was so close to getting her back, but there's nothing that could be done to fix this now. It was far too late for apologies. I singlehandedly ruined my one chance at happiness. And for what? A position and a building contract that I never even cared for anymore. What have I done?

I didn't know what to do next. I lay on the bed, holding the picture frame tightly to my chest, tears streaming down my face. I missed Emily so much, my love and the only person I lived for. The pain in my heart was unbearable, knowing that she was lying in a hospital bed, unable to communicate with me

“Love seeks to understand, even before being understood. It listens, and honors what’s shared.” Teri could barely see through her tears as she collected and packed her few belongings. “Love apologizes and forgives.” Her voice wavered with the emotions battering and shattering her like a ship tossed against the rocky shore. “It isn’t doubling down with your own issues, Jim.” Walking around the desk to stand directly before him, she glared directly into his angry icy blue eyes. “Love is a decision. Deliberate. Conscious. You do it when you don’t want to. When it’s hard. Even when it hurts.” Side-stepping Jim, Teri walked past Mark and Carla without a word, heading toward the administrative off

She lowered her gaze for a second, then raised it and her eyes locked with his. “Give me tonight. Give me something I never had. Give me back what was taken from me years ago. I don’t want love promises, I don’t expect you to tell me 'I Love You’. I just want to feel alive again… For just one moment in my life, make me feel what no one made me feel before.”

“You know, I realized recently that I made a mistake when I cut you out of my life before. You were such a big part of it for so long and you were never anything but good to me and I completely shut you out over one night. But you were there for my mom and then for me later at the hospital and then last night when I needed you, you were there for me. I just really miss having you as a part of my life and so does Theo, you know? But I just can’t go back to the way things were. I moved on. A little piece of me will always belong to you but I just, I-”

They only knew the three Ellison brothers had changed overnight. Ethan botched three contracts, costing the company dearly and sending the stock price tumbling seven percent. At the board meeting, he sat at the head of the table, staring at the sandalwood grain on a document box for forty minutes. It was the same wood I had used to carve his charm, the one Chloe shattered. Meanwhile, Mason withdrew from the international medical conference. It was not a postponement but a true cancellation. He said he no longer wished to enter an operating room. His hands, he claimed, were no longer steady.

It tap dances on broken glass. He checks his watch, like this emotional mugging is making him late. “I’m leaving, okay? I don’t want to miss the group photo. See you in a month.” And just like that, he kisses my cheek, gets into the car, and drives off... to a romantic retreat I was supposed to be on, that I basically discovered first. I stand there, in my best heels, with a suitcase full of unbothered outfits and a heart full of pain, watching the man I love disappear into the sunrise like my feelings didn't matter at all.
