Not Today Novels & Stories

“Sо аrе уоu trуіng аgаіn today?” “We’re on a dіffеrеnt аѕѕіgnmеnt tоdау, but wіll plan аnоthеr ореrаtіоn in a few dауѕ.” “A few days? And what about Aрrіl?”

For now, at least. For now.

Not now. Not with everything unravelling.

Not now, not ever. ***

And all I can think is— Not today.

Not tonight. But tomorrow? Tomorrow might be a different story.

Again. Maybe I would open it slightly now. Not now. Not today. But maybe soon.

Mark came back over to Helen and explained, “Obviously, Alexander has refused to model.” “With me?” Helen asked carefully. “He doesn’t mind doing the photoshoot, but just not with me, right?” Mark ran a hand through his hair. It was obvious he desperately didn’t want to answer that question. “That isn’t what Trevor said, but the photoshoot has been put on hiatus for the time being. I guess we’ll be back in the office tomorrow.”

I replied honestly. "Do you know you have a fever?" Mark appeared quite displeased. Was it because I got sick, and he had to cover the medical expenses? "Mr. Anderson, don't worry. I'll repay you the medical expenses once I receive my salary," I said, then respectfully bowed to him, and made a hasty exit. Luckily, I managed to be on time for my first day at work. Today happened to be Valentine’s Day, and the flower shop was bustling. I was responsible for handling payments since I didn't know much else at the moment.

I told him, I don’t know why I told him this but I just did. “ I know the place. I can take you, tomorrow maybe.” He said. Even though it should have been a question I felt it was more like a statement. “ Why not today?” I asked him. “ Because today we are going for a little trip at the Back lane.” I turn around to look at him but it was distracting so I turned again. “ Back Lane? Why? What is there to see. A few rumbled buildings or old food stalls?” I asked him.
