Places We've Never Been Novels & Stories

“Good. Because we’re going to Miami.” I froze, the words sinking in. Miami. I had never been anywhere outside of Cold Spring. The furthest I’d traveled was to New York, and now… Miami? My heart pounded, a strange mix of excitement and apprehension bubbling in my chest. “Wait, what? Miami? Are you serious?” Damien’s smirk deepened. “Completely.” A slow smile crept onto my face. “I’ve never been anywhere like that.” “Well,” he said, crossing his arms over his chest, “this is what happens when you deal with Damien Blackstone.”

We wanted to immerse ourselves in a place that would create memories to last a lifetime. As we sat there, waiting for our flight to be called, we reminisced about our wedding day. The joyous celebration, surrounded by family and friends, had been a whirlwind of emotions. But now, we were ready to embark on a new adventure, just the two of us, creating our own memories as we explored a new country together. "I can't wait to try the local food," Athara exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. "I've heard that Singapore is a food lover's paradise. From hawker centers to Michelin-starred restaurants, we'll be spoiled for choice."

Their exploration had only just begun, and they were determined to uncover the full extent of their potential and the purpose that awaited them. ** As Tiffany and Hailey ventured out of the library, their hearts filled with anticipation for their next destination—the land of Terrasia, a place rumored to be inhabited by skinwalkers. The mention of these shape-shifting creatures sent a shiver down their spines, but they were determined to face whatever challenges awaited them.

"Wow, mommy has never been to Switzerland." "Mommy, which countries have you been to before?" "Japan and Singapore." "Those two places are also very good, but there are too many people. They are almost the same as where we live now. There is no new idea. Dad also bought an island, and the season is just the opposite of that in Qincheng. Mommy, you should get better quickly. Dad and I are squeezing time. You should cooperate a little." Elisa White pinched his serious little flesh face, "OK. I think I'm going to be resurrected . Wait for me."

But destiny had other plans. I was thirteen when they both died in a plane crash. I never got to meet them for the last time. They were on a trip to china for some business, so they left me with my nana. And never returned. When I heard the news I went through so many emotions at the same time. Shock, devastation but the last thing i felt was scared. I was terrified at the idea of living without them. I was afraid to live alone. They never left me alone my entire life even for a second and all of sudden they just died.

"That's not the plan, Tam. The plan is to have fun. I don't want any unnecessary attention from anyone." "Yeah yeah. I heard you. We need to leave." She said in a hurry. After a few minutes of putting things in order and making sure we have everything in place, we were ready to leave. We walked out of the house and into her car. I was doing this. I've not been in a club in so long. I never went along with her in all the times that she'd invited me along. I was actually stepping out of my comfort zone and I really hoped that I would not regret it.

“It doesn’t have to be somewhere complicated, it could just be somewhere you’ve always been curious about visiting… it doesn’t have to be somewhere overly far as well.” I hummed a little before blurting out the first thing that came to mind. “Can we go to a church?” When Lorenzo blinked at me, I pursed my lips and narrowed my eyes at him. “Don’t judge, you said anywhere!” “But, a church?” I let out a huff. “But I’ve never been there before. I’m curious.” ***

I changed into my pajamas and exited the bathroom to see Adam getting out plates. "Feel better?" I nodded, sitting down next to him on the couch. He handed me a bowl of steaming soup and a drink. "So," he said, "what can I do to get your mind off of things?" I shook my head. "I can't think of much." "That's your problem, love," he said pointedly. "You're thinking about it. Try thinking about something else. Tell me, where is your favorite place you've ever traveled?" I thought about it for a minute. "I'd never gone anywhere outside of the United States before I met you. I'd never even flown in an airplane, actually. I think the farthest I had ever been was to Texas."

"I'm very curious to know exactly why you called us here." The excitement and the news that I planned on sharing with them were eating at me. I had never really gone overseas, except for when James had taken me out and the one time that Neal and I ventured somewhere. But to think about going somewhere exotic, somewhere that most people only dreamed of, had piqued my attention. "As you both know, a lot of things have gone on lately that neither of us could have ever imagined happening. With all of it, I think that we all deserve a well, long happy break away from reality to where we can refresh our minds and also possibly have some fun."

We were going to the US? "Once in a while, we go on field trips to countries outside Nigeria. " Abi, the ever patient one explained, "We've gone to Egypt and the UK and if Laura's right, then we are going to the United States next. " "Of course I'm right. " Laura glared at her, dumping the used serviettes on top her empty Tupperware. "Have you never been on one? " she directed at me. "No, not really. "
