Say My Name Three Times Novels & Stories

"I've kept quiet about that name for three years because nobody ever asked twice. The moment somebody does, whoever it belongs to is going to know I'm the one who could still say it." "I'll see you're kept safe." "You'll try." She said it without any bite in it, and the lack of one landed harder than the words themselves would have. "That's more than anyone's offered me until tonight." I read the name three times, my thumb pressing a crease into the page, like repetition might make it mean something it didn't yet.

Something unlatched inside me I hadn’t known was set. “Strategy,” she went on briskly. “You’ll need one.” “For Nytherra?” “For my grandson.” A glint. “Three practices.” I braced. “Hit me.” “One—The Three Truths. When the air thickens, say three true things before anything else you might later wish to swallow. Simple. ‘I am afraid.’ ‘I want to understand.’ ‘I don’t know the rules here.’ Truth grounds a wolf faster than commands. Give him yours; he’ll give you his.”

Raven. Tristan Madden X My lips part, but no sound comes out. I stare at my own name like it might disappear if I blink. I'm going to the International Criminal Convention. I'm going to the International Criminal Convention. I repeat the mantra over and over again. Oh my god. I'm going. I'm really going. The doorbell rings.

When he had exhausted everything he had to say to me, he clasped his hand together and then leaned forward, flashing me a coy smile. “It's your turn, tell me about yourself.” “Nothing.” I said with a smirk. “Nothing?” I didn't answer immediately since I was racking my head on the best way to present what I intended to say. When I finally came up with it, I imitated his gait, “I do have something to say.” “Yes, go ahead.” “My name is Naomi…” “Don't be boring, I already know your name.” He groaned with his head thrown backwards.

I had to be positive, believe there was a calming light at the end of a tunnel, that it wasn’t a train which will crush me under it’s wheels of destiny. Snap! Someone makes a click with their fingers to bring me back to reality. “Stop thinking so much!” It was Sophia, my best friend soulmate. “I think the third baby's name is Theo,” I tell Sophia as she came to me to confirm that she chose her baby's name too. “And we'll have one more family man.”

On the way to our wedding, my fiancé got a hysterical call from his ex-wife. "Gavin, he's having another episode. He keeps crying for his daddy." This was the third time it happened. Each time we were about to get married, her son would have another psychosomatic episode. Gavin Grant looked at me hesitantly. I knew what he was thinking, so I nodded. "I'll get out. Go ahead." He clasped my hand gratefully. "I'm sorry, Vivian. I'll make it up to you." Before I could even steady myself, he was already telling the driver to turn around. Still in my wedding dress, I stood by the side of the road and hailed a cab. Then, my phone buzzed with a message from Gavin—he'd given me $100 million.

"That's all, Sir." He stared at me longer than usual. And I find that disturbing, so I looked down on the floor. That was when he clapped for three times. "Unique voice and creative, Sydnee." The moment my name rolled out in his tongue, my breath hitched. The way he pronounced my name was something special and... intriguing. "T-Thank you, Sir." I immediately walked back to my chair, but he stopped me. "Please write your name on the board."

Asan ba ang lalakeng nakaupo sa tapat ko kanina? "What's your name?" I swallowed the ball of anxiety on my throat. "G-gen, Your Highness.” I was shocked when a deep rumbling voice echoed around the aircraft. "Just Gen? Ang swerte mo naman. Ako I have three names, officially. Hindi pa kasama ‘yong mga pinagbibigay nila abuelo sa ‘kin. Imagine how hard it was noong nasa primary school ako at pinasusulat nila sa ‘kin ang buong panaglan ko. Then here you are…just Gen," palatak nito na ikinatawa ko nang marahan.

I called, playfully, letting the word linger in the air like a dare. "Yes, my love," his voice came next to my ear. "Can you do that one more time?" I didn't hear a word but a sharp, sensation with that slapping sound echoing throughout the room. "More?" His voice came low beside my ear, sending another embarrassing wave of heat through me. "Mmh..."

My words were shivering along with my loud heartbeat. “Okayyyyy…..Let me first introduce myself. Hi, I m Karien Watson. You can call me just Karien.” His lips finally exposed his name. Karien, no wonder his name is alluring as him. I find myself repeating his name again and again. “ Karien, Karien. Karien.” “Yes, you are right Karien, and just a single one, Karien. You don’t have to repeat it.” He replied leaving me in complete embarrassment.
