The Wait Book Novels & Stories

The next day, Edgar waited in a café, his eyes repeatedly darting to his watch. He had been waiting for over an hour, his patience wearing thin. A waitress approached him, her eyes scanning him curiously. A waitress approached, asking, "Sir, would you like a refill on your coffee?" Her tone was polite, but her gaze betrayed a hint of judgment. Edgar was dressed impeccably, exuding an aura of success and wealth. His striking good looks made him stand out, and it was clear that the waitress was puzzled by his lingering presence over a single cup of coffee.

Mother has her faults— a lot of them, actually, but this restaurant is something good to admire her for. I pull my hoodie down even more, hoping that no one would recognize me or my scent. Although the way I smell must have been altered a bit, but still! Before I left the house, I had taken one of my favourite books with me to come and read over here. Fishing into my back pack, I brought it out. The Silent Twin by Caroline Mitchell. An old favourite. A waiter came to my table and stopped. “Ma’am?” “Ma’am? I’m sorry, but you have been here for over fifteen minutes. You cannot stay here for more than ten minutes without ordering a meal. Are you going to order something, please?” He asked polit

Ernest said. Don looked at him. The look carried the quality of immediate understanding—not the slow arrival at comprehension but the instantaneous recognition that came from having been waiting for something without naming the waiting. Don had known the book would arrive in February. He had known the publisher would send the author's copies ahead of publication. He had not mentioned this. He had not needed to mention it. The waiting had been present in the house as a kind of atmospheric pressure—not spoken, not acknowledged, but felt. They went to the kitchen.

All I can do is wait and wait until Liam does send me a message. I reach for my book on the bedside cabinet, I’m an avid reader but tonight I open it up and just stare at the pages. So unlike me, especially when it’s the a Colleen Hoover like this one is. Really, I’m not even able to focus on the words, they’re swimming in front of my eyes. Perhaps I ought to swap to an audio book, that might soothe me whilst I wait.

I, on the other hand, was coming up here to pass time. Today was the day that Sarah and I were going shopping. I was looking forward to spending time with her and seeing what kind of person she was. I actually felt bad that it took a year for us to do something like this. Sarah told me that she was going to pick me up from school at 3:30. I had an hour to spare, so I decided to go up to the library to wait. I walk over to the reading books section and took up a book to read. The book that I chose was Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. This was one of my favourite books, so I know it will help me pass the time. I took a seat at a table by myself and began to read.

Her enthusiasm jolts my hope up, and a smile breaks out onto my face. "You're right....I've got to be positive." The more I think about it, it surely convinces me that indeed, there's a chance and something good might happen after all. Waiting patiently by the shelf, for my order, I think about all the books I've collected over the years and maybe, giving away most of the ones I had stocked in my small basement, back at home. I'd give it up for donation to all people who need it. 'Hello and welcome to the Starlight news, where all the latest gossip and celebrity updates are first heard here..

Some of the caregivers were worried I would get bored, so they would take every opportunity to gossip about the celebrities. One of the caregivers happened to be from my country, and she knew about Elshine Corporation. "I heard that the chairman of Elshine Corporation, Bruno Russell, actually called off his wedding in anger! They say it's all because of a scheming woman who drove away his fiancee. That woman had the nerve to show up in a wedding dress and try to marry him herself! I have a friend of a friend who works at Elshine Corporation. She told me that Mr. Russell works around the clock now. That woman tries so hard to satisfy him, but he completely ignores her!"

He was the top student at Sterling High School, a very outstanding guy. What hurt him most was that the girl he liked really liked that other boy. Year after year, Luther kept telling himself to let her go, that they would never be together in this lifetime. Still, he could not accept it. He had met her first, after all. Like holding a one-way ticket that would never reach its destination, Luther waited for eight years. The pain of longing even drove him to pray at churches again and again. He only wanted one chance, one opportunity to stand before her openly and proudly.

"The promise you made me didn't matter. The career I clawed out for myself didn't matter." "Just like even now, you're still making me wait." I sighed and turned to face Julian. "But I've already married someone else. I have a new life." "So tell me, why should I wait for you?" When I finished, I watched the emotions churning in his eyes, then looked down at my watch. "Don. I should go. I don't want to keep Roman waiting too long." The instant those words landed, Julian took a step back. A furious, broken laugh escaped him, and then he grabbed my wrist, hard.
