Thirty Something Series Novels & Stories

A family of three. The photos were arranged neatly in chronological order, from maternity shoots to his one-month celebration, all the way to Cody’s second birthday. As the so-called mother who had raised him for three years, I didn’t have a single proper photo with him. My entire body trembled as I stared at Dorian. "Three years ago, in the delivery room… The child I gave birth to… Where is that baby?" Dorian didn’t dare meet my eyes. His Adam’s apple bobbed. His voice came out dry.

The abdomen slightly bulged and contained a formed embryo, roughly three months old. That was our child.

"That sounds completely made up." "I know, I didn't believe it at first, but it's true," Ida reasoned, sounding more like her father when he tried to convince her of the authenticity of that service. "I just think it's... exactly what I need," Ida replied, biting her bottom lip before continuing, "I mean, it's only thirty days, right?" "Yeah?" Maki could only murmur. "Thirty days in the open sea with no wi-fi," Ida faked a grin. "...all alone," she went on while feigning a laugh, "such joy! Don't you think?"

"Dammit, you would think I might start getting over this…It's been three bloody years already!" I pat Michelle's hand because I know this is as much as I can do to comfort her. Her pain is still so raw that I think she plays the field to try and forget, and I feel bad that I have brought this up for her. She takes a steadying breath and plasters on a fake smile. "So what are we going to do to make you forget about Mr Tall, Dark and Handsome Bossman?" Michelle jokes with a weak laugh.

However, after the little conversation we had, I was certain he was going to break off the engagement. I got in my car and drove back home, just wanting to enjoy the serenity of my home and think about everything I had placed in the back of my mind. *** “Thirty and flirty and thriving. Thirty and flirty and thriving.” The sound echoed through the living room as Joelle, Tia, and I had been huddled on the couch, watching Thirteen Going on Thirty. “I’m convinced thirties is the best era for women,” Joelle muttered, shoving a handful of popcorn in her mouth.

Thirty years of trusting. Finally. Answered.

"Consider her already Done." "Dude she's not your type," Jer argued. "She's shy, reserved, doesn't even look at people let alone speak. Now I respect you man, but doing Miss Shy here ain't gonna work." "Never say never Jer, All I need is a month. Just one month and little Leigh here will be screaming my name." "No shit dude! You wanna bet?" Willis simply shrugged his shoulders, his mind already cooking up devious plans. "October's outta the picture. Good thing November starts tomorrow. You've got just thirty days though. You sure you wanna do this?"

Autumn shakes her head then looks at Natalie. "Nat, look after them," she said as the older one just nodded her head. "Yeah yeah, I already know that, it's not like they are much younger than me," Natalie said, flipping her hair in the process. "Yes, we are younger, you're 21 while we're 20 and 19" Aimi answered which made Natalie glared at her. "Still! It's not that I am that old to you" Natalie said. Autumn just shrugged them off then walked away from them.

"Congratulations, Ms. Cela! You are now a certified blockbuster writer," Hyun said. "Thank you but I'm hardly a blockbuster writer so please stop saying that. Also, I don't want to hear those compliments that may lead to more work," Cela joked. "Got that," Hyun said. "But now you have no reason to decline blind dates and speed dating."
