Title For Friends Novels & Stories

"Friends. Just friends." Atasha "Just friends" is the biggest lie Khalia Salvador has ever told herself. Forty minutes later, the atmosphere inside Wildflour Uptown was loud, buzzing, and completely claustrophobic. The restaurant was packed with the usual corporate crowd, but our table felt like the epicenter of a localized storm system. Bea and Mark, our friends who had watched us grow from broke architecture students into functioning adults, were already three cocktails deep. They had practically pulled us into the booth, forcing Khalia and me to sit right next to each other on the plush leather banquette.

Social media notifications: exceeded maximum count. I scrolled through them with shaking fingers. My parents. My brothers—Adrian, Mikael, and Elijah. My sisters—Sophia and Isabella. My best friends from college—Maya, Jordan, and China. Messages from my martial arts master, Sifu Wong. Encrypted messages from my hacker collective, the ones I'd built security systems with for Fortune 500 companies. Emails from fellow CEOs I'd collaborated with on tech startups. **Mom: Adriana, please call us. We're worried sick.**

I had completely forgotten that I was going to facetime with Faye and Anne, until they popped up on my screen. "Long time no see!" Anne grinned at me. "Hey, guys." I greeted them, struggling not to seem homesick, even though I could feel it washing over me again. "This is Tessa, she's my number one enemy." Tessa sat down next to me and smiled at my two idiot friends. "Nice to meet you girls." "We know that you two are friends dummy." Faye rolled her eyes at us. "Your every move is all over the news. Your friendship is even in politics."

He eyed my outstretched hand like it was a weapon, then stepped closer. “And,” I added, “we do it as friends.” He froze. “Friends?” he repeated, as if the word itself was an antique relic. “Yeah. Friends,” I said, holding his gaze. “Not king and subject. Not prophecy and pawn. Not replacement and ghost. Just… two idiots trying to survive.” His eyes softened in slow, cautious degrees. “I…” He swallowed. “It has been a long time since I had a friend.” “Good,” I said. “You’re out of practice. I’ll lower the bar.”

“I want to go on a date.” What? Carol felt as if she had heard a really funny joke. To think there would come a day when she would hear Titus talk about dates. “Are you kidding me?” But Titus’s serious gaze told her that he was not. “Do I look like I’m joking to you?” “Why a date?” “Don’t couples go on dates?” “But we’re not dating.” Titus immediately grabbed her chin. “What were we doing to you just now, then?” Carol snickered. “Having s*x, of course. Friends with benefits have s*x the moment they meet each other, don’t they? No friends with benefits go on dates.”

I lift his face and make him look into my eyes. "You know I had a girlfriend and kept her hidden, don't you?" I nod. "I overheard…" I say, embarrassed. "Your conversation!" My grimace is enough to make my best friend smile again. I wipe his handsome face, framed by a pair of beautiful blue eyes, his hair, and beard always well-groomed, the perfect composition of a perfect man. It's a pity that we can't feel anything more than sibling-like affection for each other. "Her name is Pietra Lancelloti…" he says, and I'm surprised by whom the woman he loves us.

SUSAN'S POV : I woke up in a really good mood, smiling brightly. I had the best day yesterday. I went on my first date and had a great time with Stance. He is really not as bad as my friends say. He is really a gentleman. I blush when I remember the nickname he gave me, beautiful. Then I spent quality time with my brother after such a long time and also won the game. Vis face was so funny when I won for the fourth time. He was so shocked and was pouting. Now, his pouting face is his new caller id pic. He really becomes a kid when we play. If any of his business associate or anyone from his company see him like that, they will be in a huge shock. I laughed and got up to get ready for college.

Friends for me may be everything, especially for those who are always there in joy and sorrow without the slightest self. Maybe it's weird right now if you have friends who can continue to be close for decades. Like the current story or satire "Today's anything must have money, let alone Satan's friends to come if we have money." But all that doesn't apply to us, Kiki, Widya, Ervina, Catur, Maria, Andi, Roli, Irfan, Agus, Fauzi, Alex, Agung, Caca, Dedeh, Chandra, Sari, Dina, Tika, Ria, Impin, Iwan, Roby, Bang Adi, Selda, Henny, Lila, Lili, Kristina, Pohan, Tari, Dul, Ammy, Dewi and others. Even though we are in different cities and places, we still care for each other.

I savor that word ‘friend in my mouth, loving the sound of it. “Yeah I am the friend. We are close enough I was supposed to be her chief bridesmaid at her wedding. Only that, too bad, there was no wedding. It was just… ouch.” I had elbowed her side. This girl and her mouth. “Oh, I guess that is too much information. Okay, just have it that I am the friend.” Stefani holds her side. “It’s nice to meet you Stefani the friend.” Philemon has this look in his eyes. A look I have never seen in his eyes, but one I always see in Ryan’s when he looks at me. And Philemon is looking at Stefani that way.
