Porque Te Demoras Novels & Stories

Stankiewicz exclaimed with his thick Polish accent. “Can the two of you explain why you’re thirty minutes late?!” he demanded angrily. Mr. Stankiewicz had always been quick to anger when students disrupted his class, and unfortunately, we were his targets this morning. “We’re really sorry, Sir, but we have a valid reason for being late,” I spoke up. “Really? Then tell us the reason,” he said, eyes narrowing. “We got stuck in traffic,” Vanessa chimed in. “So, you’re telling me there was a traffic jam this morning?” he asked, his tone skeptical.

So I turn around intending to leave when I sight the person I’ve been out here waiting for. A frown makes its way to my face when the person’s gaze comes in contact with mine. I cannot believe that I got my time wasted just because of some link. He should have kept to the deal. The first words that leave my lips when he reaches right in front of me are, “You mind-linked me to be here yet you went on to delay me. Who does that?” He seems apologetic when he says, “I’m so sorry. I had to tend to something real quick at home. Didn’t think I would waste this much time to eventually get here.”

"I get not every one are time conscious, but at least..." Damon wondered why the person did not fix the meeting to later, if the person would be arriving late. He felt he has wasted more than enough time by waiting but then, he decide to be a little more patient convincing himself that the guest would not have kept him here all alone without a genuine reason. ‘Maybe the guest was busy or probably on her way already and she's stuck for a while...’ He managed to convince himself with these reasons even when he felt there is no need to wait any longer.

He told me he was going to find me at the right time. The problem is I am not patient enough to wait but I have no option but to wait. It's just that I keep asking myself; why does he have to wait for the right time before he can tell me about myself and other stuff I didn't know about? What time is the right time?

Chassy ‘Sorry to keep you waiting,’ she said and I didn’t know what to say. ‘Hey, are you mad at me for coming a little too late?’ she asked. ‘What? No! You’re perfectly on time.’ I replied. I didn’t want her to think that way. I am thankful that she came at this time when I am happy. ‘What took you so long to reply?’ she asked, ‘Because I can’t believe that I already have you.’

"What do you have to say?" When I realized his muscle relaxed, showing that he was willing to listen, I slowly let go and cleared my throat. "Sorry about that," I smoothed down on the rumple I had created on his shirt. "So… about the other day…" I scratched the back of my head. "How do I ask this? … Why have you not responded to my calls?" "I was busy." He said dismissively. "That's not an excuse. Not even a text back?" "I was busy. It was finals!" He stated sternly.

~ Cole ~ I don’t rush. That’s the thing. I said ten minutes, so I take ten minutes. Not nine. Not eight. Ten. Because if I show up too fast, it looks like I’ve been waiting around impatiently for her answer like it decides everything. It doesn’t. But… it matters. More than I expected. More than I’m used to admitting. I pull up outside the house, engine idling for a second longer than necessary. Just sitting there.

He sounded like a fun person and I found myself chatting more with him because he's so chatty. ‘Okay, that's really funny. But I just happen to be really busy during the days, and I like it when there are no distractions, I hope you understand.’ He typed back. ‘Yeah, yeah. You still haven't told me your name.’ I typed. ‘I promise to tell you that in three days, I have a really valid reason for this, I'm for real.’ ‘Why so specific though?’ I asked. ‘That’s because there's a specific reason.’

She couldn't get hold of Theo, and it was making her worry. "Hi, Tita. I don't know why we keep missing each other's calls. I just want to let you know that the launch of the new clothing line got delayed, so I have to stay later. I'm really sorry." Tina paused, "Anyway, I could use your help right now.
