The Grownup Novels & Stories

I call out to them, raising my fingers and clasping them like a claw as I begin to tickle them and they erupt into laughter. "...Mama," Neo calls out, exhausted from laughing for hours. "Yes, Neo!" "Will we continue living like a family?" He suddenly asks. "You'd like that?" "Uh huh," Ash suddenly answers rather than Neo, "Papa's not a bad guy and this place is a big plus, we're all complete here…" "Oh Ash," I laugh dryly, cuddling the both of them so they could not see me look so down, "you see being a grown-up is quite complicated and has its quirks, you'll understand once you're also a grown-up," I tell them.

He pours. He sits. He looks at me. “She seems quiet,” he says. “Does she?” “You haven’t noticed?” Two seconds. “She seems fine,” I say. Marcus turns his glass. Looks at it. “She is fine. That’s not what I said.” He pauses. “There’s a difference between fine and — present. She’s fine. She’s just somewhere else.” He shakes his head. “Maybe I’m looking for something that isn’t there. She’s eighteen. They go somewhere else at eighteen.”

🚩 Third Person's POV 🚩 Lucy Leiberman was warming her daughter, Harper's dinner in the kitchen and humming to Ed Sheeran's thinking out loud. She was waiting patiently for the microwave. She wants to tuck Harper in because she doesn't want her to stay late today. The little girl thinks she also have the right to sleep late just like her Mummy and Daddy but she doesn't know she is still little. Her mummy tells her she is still a baby but she argues and replies with, "Stop calling me a baby, mum. I'm an adult." or when she is not in the mood to argue, she just shrugged and say, "you won't understand." And it's true, neither her Mum nor her Dad understand why a 6 year old girl will claim to b

"Daniel, a betrayal is a betrayal. No matter the reason, I will never forgive it. I love the life I have now. Please don't disturb it anymore." As I turned to leave, I could not help but add one last thing. "Take care of that child. I know what it's like to grow up unwanted by both parents. No child should have to go through that." With that, I walked away without hesitation. Behind me, Daniel’s sobs broke the silence—raw and helpless, like that of a child. Even so, I would never look back again. Afterward, our team won first place in the competition. On the way home, Matilda leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Mommy, is Mr. Cooper not coming today? I wanted to say goodbye."

“There are still days when it feels like all I can think about is my dad and the fact that he’s gone. I’m sure it doesn’t help that I’m still working in his old shop and living in the same house that I grew up in. And then there are other days when I hardly think about him, and then when I do think about him, I feel guilty that I haven’t been thinking about him more. So I guess there’s no getting through the changes that his death have brought to me.” I paused, trying to think of a way to explain those changes to her because in some ways, his death had been a good thing for me. In some ways, they had been the only thing to finally make me get my act together and grow up. “I don’t think I was

I tell him. A small leaf pops through the soil. I can tell he’s already past beginning stuff. “I didn’t think I could do that” Charles gasps. Next, we work on making the seedling grow into a small tree. After hours of work we take a break. “I never believed in things like this before today and now I can make plants grow” he tells me. “Your power is amazing, there’s nothing you won’t be able to do”I tell him. We lay in the grass and two enormous green dragonflies dart past us.

She grins back, and we 'clink' our cans together before taking another big swig. I grab the TV remote, fire up N*****x, and find a funny movie to watch. I put on Adam Sandler's 'Grown-ups,' knowing Mom probably hasn't seen it and that she needs a good laugh. When the opening scene is over and the movie switches to the grown-up versions of the guys, my doorbell rings. I pause the movie and answer the door, grabbing some cash for the tip.

I stood up and took off my pajama. “Woah woah woah woah———what do you think you’re doing?” “What? It’s too hot in here. My knees are sweating. You know, you can’t clearly see it anyway so it’s fine. And also, that’s just you there Mike.” And he immediately turned his back and I murmured, “It’s not like you haven’t seen my butt before.” I heard he slapped his forehead when he said, “Strawberry, we are now grown ups. The time has changed. It’s different nowadays. We’re not little kids anymore.”
