Our Last Summer Book Novels & Stories

“Are you interested in some props for the Last Day of Summer Fest? We offer free juice and photos on the side.” “When is the day?" “Pardon?” Valentina looked over at her like she was staring at a grade two child. “When is the fest?” Colleen had no idea so she looked to Tobias for help and thankfully, he answered. “21st of this month. A few superstars like Johnny Crane, and Naomi Statham will be in attendance. I would recommend you get a summer hat for the occasion but unfortunately, we’re sold out. So, how about a tee shirt?”

When I came back to my senses, Jared Pierce was hurrying toward me with his men. "Rosalia, there's an emergency in Oceanton! We need to head over right now!" He pulled me into his arms and gave a gentle kiss to my forehead. "Baby, I'm so sorry. I'll make it up to you when I get back." I wiped the spot where his lips had touched, my face impassive. That same mouth had kissed Melody more times than I could count.

I tell him with a smile while I continued on reading. We continued on reading. One, two, three, four more hours until the sky went orange to dark blue. We finished off the three bottles of alcohol that he brought in. My eyes were heavy because of the drowsiness and my body was heating up since earlier. My eyes shifted after hearing a soft thud, looking over to see that Brye placed down the book with a stretch and a wince. I continued to look at him mindlessly before he noticed that I was looking.

Shelly pulled me inside, leaving Aubrey standing by the door. After going through the different sections, Shelly finally got three books that she found fascinating. I only bought one book ‘Midnight Sun’ by Trish Cook. It was released back in 2017 but Shelly told me that she never got to read it. Some of her friends did tell her though that it was a good read so I bought it. The outline was what caught my eyes. It did seem interesting. Shelly made me promise to lend her the book once I was done reading it. I promised but in return, she had to let me borrow some of the books she already had at home.

⊰᯽⊱┈A U D R A┈⊰᯽⊱ · · • • • two years later • • • · · The celebration of the seventh birthday of the ducal princess. There was so much pink and so many frilly things around the place, that the little dragon swore that when he left there, he wouldn't be able to see another color in his eyes for quite a while. "You came! I was beginning to think I'd be alone..." the purple-eyed one whimpered as she clung to his arm.

She swallowed hard, trying not to think about what might have been. “And then the house fire… where he swore he heard someone calling for help. Eddie says that those were his last words, an insistence that someone had been in there.” She shuffled back through the yellowed pages, re-reading that part. “The house was supposed to be rented for the full summer, through an agency. But the person who rented it never showed up, and never asked for a refund. It was a cash transaction, so not traceable.” Also not unheard of in those days, before everything was done through apps and online.

“By the way, Lou... do you have any plans today?” “Not sure yet, Ma. Why?” I replied, mouth half-full. Mama gave me a look. “I just think you should go out. Don’t you get bored staying home all day? It’s your summer break, Lou. You should be out making memories, not slowly turning into a houseplant.” I chukled. “Ma, I literally just went out yesterday, remember?” “Yeah, and where did you go? The coffee shop. You ate, came home, and that was it. That doesn’t count. Don’t you have plans with your friends?”

The day she met Liam. Three years earlier. A bright summer afternoon. A crowded bookstore downtown. She could still remember every detail. Every second. Every feeling. Without realizing it, Emma slipped into the memory. Three Years Earlier The bookstore was packed with people escaping the summer heat. Emma wandered through the fiction section, searching for a novel she had seen online. She wasn't paying attention. Which was why she accidentally collided with someone. Books scattered everywhere. "Oh my God!" Emma immediately dropped to her knees. "I'm so sorry."

Pov: Caleb “Bye caleb! I am really going to miss you. I’ll come visit you as soon as I can.” Brianna said as she hugged me. Her hold on me was so tight, I felt like I was being suffocated. I could not believe that the summer was already over. It had gone by so fast. I had thoroughly enjoyed myself. The guys and I took full advantage of the summer sun. We swam nearly every day, we had gone on short road trips to places like the Grand Canyon, we partied harder than we ever had. I grew a lot closer to some of my team members.

I asked them both "Meeee!" they answered in chorus. • We ended up at the park, sprawled out on the mat we’ve brought. The ice cream I treat them with was long gone. I just stared around; reminiscing the old days I spent my time here. “Yah, Alex” “Hmm?” I glance at Kathy as she stared at me. “You remember those times we spent out here during the summer?”
