Three Days Of Happiness Novels & Stories

*** When I woke up, Johan was sitting on the edge of the bed, shirtless and smoking. He heard me move and looked back. A check landed on the bed in front of me. I stared at it. He only said a few words. "I'm bored with you." Something inside me cracked. Like porcelain shattering, sharp pieces cut across my heart. Still, my voice came out calm. I even smiled. "I've got less than three months left. Couldn't you wait a little longer?" Johan frowned. "Yara Yelton, you should know your place."

Chapter 32: A Joyful Celebration Rebecca's birthday arrived on a beautiful Saturday. The sun shone brightly, and the air felt fresh and full of promise. Liam had planned everything in secret for weeks. He wanted this day to be special. He rented a nice hall near the park with a big garden. Flowers decorated the tables. Colorful lights hung from the ceiling. He invited her family, his mother, and all their close friends. Anna was there too, smiling from ear to ear. The room filled with laughter and happy chatter as people arrived.

"Still lying, ugh? You just said that to have me get her myself!" "I'll deal with you both when I get there." Isaac ran out, banging his head against the wall in his haste, but he didn't stop. Not even Mandy's calls could hold him back. He ran three red lights, speeding to the beach. The bodyguards were gone. Only Liam was there, guarding my corpse. Isaac frantically got the key, opening the cage. My body, after two days in the sea, was swollen and pale, almost unrecognizable.

"Y-Yeah... why?" "Maybe there are clues in the notes. Is it still with you?" "I threw it away," she said, then switched the T.V. channel. She doesn't like late night shows anymore. More dramas and nonsense shows. "Oh," her friend said regretfully. "Keep the notes next time. You know... maybe one of these days he might introduce himself in a note." "His name is Third. That's always on the note, eh." "So, do you know anyone who has the same name?"

Then placed his hand on top of theirs. The three laughed. It was innocent. Simple. Nothing more. At least, that's what they told themselves. But none of them pulled away immediately. And for one brief moment, their hands remained together beneath the fading sunlight. Three hands. Three hearts. One friendship. And feelings that were slowly becoming impossible to ignore.

She nodded in agreement as remnants of their previous conversation ran through her head. "You said there's a big party happening soon right?" "Yes, and that big party is in exactly three days" "What, three days?" "Is there an issue with that?" He quirked a brow at her in question to which she reciprocated with a brow raise of her own. "You're kidding, right? Three days isn't enough for us to come off as a happy lovey-dovey couple we're trying to fool people into believing we are. I don't even know what your favourite colour is!"

Dex hums. "Why would I want to do that?" "Well, we have that three-day trip for work the day after your wedding. How is that fair to your bride?" Dex hums again. I look at him. He looks at me. "Would you be okay if I left for three days after our wedding? We can have our honeymoon after." I raise my eyebrows. "Honeymoon?" He smiles. "Did you think I would skip the best part?" "You just never mentioned it." He shrugs.

Three days is not a long time. Three days is, in fact, the exact amount of time a person can go from being a person who is happy to be a person who is panicking. Three days is the exact amount of time between. I want people to know I am with you too, and I have not heard from him since Tuesday, and I am a person who is fine.

Just that I couldn't tell him any of them. Noah stared dumbly at me. “That’s not true.” He was starting to understand my lies now. I forced a small smile. “Then maybe I’m just tired.” He stopped in front of me, his hand lifting to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. The gesture was gentle. Too gentle. It made my throat tighten. “Three days,” he said softly. “I won’t be gone long.” Three days. He had no idea how much could change in three days.

I've never felt this kind of happiness before. I'm so happy that I check my phone. I want to share my happiness with someone. Brett. Victoria. They'll be thrilled for me. I haven't updated them at all since all of this happened the day before yesterday. I have so much to say to them. This is the most that has happened to me in the space of three days. Life with Luca is eventful. My days used to feel super short before. Now, they're long.
