See You Never, Mr. One-minute Novels & Stories

“Your yes is enough, see you on Saturday by 4 pm Ella” “Yeah, whatever”

I'll miss you Blue I'll miss you I hope when I see you again, I'll be a changed man then I'M SORRY BLUE MAID

“I'll be singing. La la la la, la la la la You’re mine La la la la, la la la la You're all of me. La la la la, la la la la And I’ll be yours. La la la la, la la la la” I dance to the beat, and I pull out my tongue. “Be mine, my love. You're my heart and soul. This is our moment. It’s finally our moment, You could have me in any way you want. How long until you’re mine? Until you see me?” I make eye contact with Mr. Blue eyes. My eyes widen and I nearly miss my cue. He was huge, I didn’t realize how big he was earlier. But he didn’t seem so big until he was squeezing into a single chair.

But now, standing in the rain, living through the torment she must have endured countless times, he finally grasped the depth of her despair. No one could be magnanimous enough to watch the one they loved in someone else's arms. He opened his mouth, finally saying pleadingly, "Can I… see her?" Allen's response was a swift, brutal punch. "What right do you have to see her?" The long hours in the rain had drained Grayson of strength. He staggered backward, utterly defenseless, his body collapsing like a broken marionette. Allen took the handkerchief the butler handed him, disdainfully wiping his knuckles before tossing it at Grayson's feet.

What unsettled me was that he looked back. His attention shifted — briefly, precisely — and found me. The moment stretched, thin as a blade’s edge. I felt it then: a tightening low in my chest, sharp and unfamiliar, as though the air itself had changed weight. I had crossed that yard a hundred times before. Never like this. Never with the sense that something unseen had reached out and marked the passing. He did not stop the drills. Did not speak. Did not move toward me. He only looked — and then, just as easily, looked away.

Essence said turning to them apologetically. “Oh, I see you playing games, you think I'm going to let you do me like your friend did my boy. I don't take it easy on nobody, everybody can get it.” Shawn said, laughing. “Yea, and there lies the problem sir, you still haven't learned yet I see.” Essence said with a smirk, Shawn's eyes widen in shock, as Kymoni laughed. “BEGIN!” The announcer yelled and Essence used Shawn's shocked expression to take her first shot. “Now would you look at that nothing but net, let’s see how many more I can get in one minute.” Essence said, as she nodded at Unique.

I sing out the chorus and the next verse, feeling the notes through each strum and new position of my hands. “It’s been a minute since I saw the signs! Did I need to read between the lines? I’m fighting hard to hear you tell the truth! So do me a favor and drop that vermouth! It’s been a minute since I saw that look in your eye, so won’t you finally drop that disguise? Why can’t you hear me this time?!”

On the East Side and you know I'm with the gang right now You say, "Do I own a watch? Do I know what time it is right now?" Ye, it's after 2 AM and that's askin' a lot of you right now All she talkin' 'bout is, "Come and see me for once" "Come and see me for once" "You don't ever come to me, you don't ever come to me" The music plays from the PARTYNEXTDOOR as some kids peep through the window in admiration wishing they were old enough or cool enough to be invited.

Her tense silence unnerved Emmeline a bit. "Don't forget, I'm one of those who agreed to play too! You can't curse me while sacrificing yourself for my honor. It'll make your efforts meaningless." Minnie's cheery voice rang. Taehyung stopped moving. "Isn't the damn five minutes over yet??" he cried out loudly. Richard checked his phone again with a wicked grin. "Not quite." Just as Emmeline glanced at the time on his screen, the last digit ticked over. She wasted no time announcing it. "It just ended!"

I feel thankful. And as we're all just laughing and reminiscing. I see dad take out the ring box from his pocket to get down on one knee and, "Mary. I love you. Will you accept being stuck with me for the rest of your life?"
