Suddenly This Summer Novels & Stories

Absolutely wonderful. I guess I'll trek home. With this realisation, my tear duct was set free. I cried for everything that has happened to me this summer as I walked home.

The dialogue box displayed a large font: "Big trouble!" Bella chuckled. What could be such a big deal? She replied, and Jessica immediately sent over a link with a line of text: "Calvin and Julia rumored to be dating!" Huh? Bella was stunned. Calvin and Julia? Her heart skipped a beat involuntarily. What could they have rumored about? She clicked on the link, and the headline was full of sensationalism: "I Want Summer" to air soon, featuring Julia in a bikini with intimate moments with the CEO! Below were several blurry photos. In the photos, the two of them didn't seem particularly intimate; it just looked that way because of the angle.

He knew exactly how to get under my skin, and he did it effortlessly. Summer leaned forward to hug me tightly. “Don’t forget sunscreen, and also—if he proposes, call me first.” I laughed, my chest tightening with emotion. “There’s no proposal happening, Summer. It’s just a short getaway.” Summer’s eyes sparkled mischievously. “Sure, sure. Just a casual vacation with a billionaire who can’t stop looking at you like you hung the moon.” I turned away, unable to stop smiling. Kai was already pulling me toward the jet’s stairs. My fingers were still warm from Summer’s hug, but my entire body pulsed with anticipation. I looked back once, seeing Willem nudge Summer and whisper something that made h

She had been hoping to bump into Nicholas here. However, not only had she not met Nicholas yet, but she had bumped into North! Summer suddenly thought of something and acted as if a light bulb had lit up in her head. “You’re not here to seduce Mr. Sherman, are you?!” North raised an eyebrow. “Seduce?” Summer acted like she had caught North red-handed, yelling, “How could you be so shameless?! Do you think Mr. Sherman is someone you can target? I know he’s both handsome and capable, but you need to take a good look at yourself!”

Mandy York, my girlfriend, was practically a migratory bird that always flew away during summer. Every year, during July and August, which were the hottest months of the year, she would fly off and disappear from the face of the earth. She said that it was because her company gave her a special project abroad that required absolute secrecy from her. She was also not to contact anyone during that period of time. Even when I got into a car accident last year and lay in the ICU for two months, she never called to ask about me. Plenty of times, I had comforted myself and endured the harsh summer alone. One day, I accidentally saw the social media account of a friend of mine living abro

Remembering that she left her phone in the next tent, Summer immediately jumped out. "That must be Mommy and Daddy! They want to tell me that they're on the cruise ship!" The others rushed to follow her. When they arrived at the next tent, Summer was already sitting cross-legged with her phone pressed to her ear. "Mommy, Daddy! Have you arrived at the cruise ship?" "Hello, Honey. Isn't it still early there? Why are you so excited?" Sky asked. "Because I knew today would be a fun day, Mommy. Just like yesterday. I had a great time here. I did a lot of experiments with River. Then, we all gathered in the backyard. I, River, Uncle Brandon, and Aunt Briony slept in a tent."

Summer giggled and squeezed my hand tighter, reveling in the love and laughter that filled our evening stroll. Inside the ice cream parlor, Hollis made all of us sit at a table as he went to order our favorite flavors. Summer’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she eagerly anticipated her scoop of mint chocolate chip. “Thank you; it’s because Daddy brought us here,” she said sweetly, making my heart swell with pride. “You guys never had a family outing like this before,” I asked, shocked, and Summer shook her head, her smile widening. “Nope, this is the best day ever,” she exclaimed, her eyes shining with happiness. I brushed her hair out of her face and couldn’t help but feel grateful for th

"O-Of course. We're friends." Satisfied with my response, Bethany finally let go of my arm and followed me inside. I opened the door, but the office was pitch-black. "Dad, these are the friends I mentioned, the ones coming to work here for the summer," I said cautiously. Before I could introduce them, they pushed past me and crowded into the room. "Hello, Mr. Parker. We're here for the summer jobs. May I know what the pay is like? Is ten thousand dollars a month okay? Oh, and I'm not really into factory work. Can I get an office job instead?"

Oblivious to the couple nearing us, Summer was confused by my sudden urgency. "Let's go somewhere else. I don't want to be here anymore." Keeping my back to Liam and Julia, I tried to make myself invisible. Summer's eyebrows knit together, her gaze filled with confusion at my abrupt change in demeanor. Just as she opened her mouth to say something, the couple noticed me. "Fancy bumping into you here. I see you’ve moved on pretty quickly from your heartbreak. Shopping after just a few days?" Julia’s words oozed sarcasm and an air of smugness.

Checks the time 'Sh*t it's already six thirty'. Summer had begun and all of the neighborhood kids took advantage of every bit of daylight that shined. As soon as the sun come up you could hear the ATV's rummble from inside the house. Blacking out her windows to get some sleep during the daylight hours had done its job but there was nothing she could do about the noise disturbing her rest. She remembered what it was like to be a child. Carefree. Happy. Endless summer days with friends. That isn't something she dared ruin for them. Besides her salted caramel java monster would pep her up in no time.
