Until I Met You Amber Gill Novels & Stories

"I'm Katniss Johnson. Nice to meet you in person, Miss Lim.” In an instant, Amber's eyes opened to the max. "You know me?" she asked spontaneously. "Of course. I often see your travel documentation on social media. It's very refreshing. Besides, I heard about you from Uncle and Julian. Mia also ever told me about you,” the model replied, shrugging briefly. "Is that so?" Amber sighed, still sounding doubtful. It was hard for her to believe that she had been recorded in Katniss Johnson's brain. After one quick breath, the woman in the yellow dress finally shook the model's hand. "Nice to meet you, Miss Johnson," she said formally.

Amber snapped. "Amber, your parents are Kyle Benson and Fiorella Louise"

Amber said using her most charming voice. "Thank you. It's fine I know she said you guys had a rough night and a lot of cleaning to do so I don't mind the wait." I heard the front door close and longed to peep out the door to watch but if I did he might see me. "Oh sorry I don't think we've met I'm Amber and this is Tammy." I rolled my eyes of course Amber hadn't met him yet. "Nice to meet you." I could hear the smile in his voice. "Congratulations on the engagment as well,"

I protested, trying to reason with her. My lovely best friend turned deaf immediately, pretending that she couldn't hear me. She kept pulling me by my arm towards Dante. I was so embarrassed, as few people were looking at us. But as usual, Amber couldn't care less. We stopped in front of Dante's table. "Hello Sir, I'm Amber Collins, it's nice to meet you, " Amber introduced herself, boldly stretching her hand for a handshake. He took her hand without saying a word, probably wondering what we came for.

“Yeah… I couldn’t get my hands on one, but let’s hope she accepts something else.” I laughed louder, shaking my head. “She’ll forgive you.” The easy warmth between us was still there, and I was immensely grateful for it. My great relationship with Ian was precious and I never wanted it to change. Ian gestured between us. “Hadrian, meet Amber, my friend from med school. And Amber, this is Hadrian, my mate.” I turned to Hadrian with a genuine smile, extending my hand. “It’s good to finally meet you, Hadrian.”

He looked serious. "They canceled the meeting?" "Yes," Amber nodded. "He didn't show up and didn't give me any updates. Do you know how embarrassed I was in front of Mr. Garrett?" Nelson ignored the rhetorical question. He was more interested in the new facts he had just learned. "And not only that." Amber followed his statement with a deep sigh and reached for her glass of juice. The glass contained a yellow liquid. It emitted a distinct aroma that characterized the sweetness it offered. Of course, the middle-aged woman chose mango juice for her friend to help her through the hot afternoon.

Only once did Manang soften like that so I got up from my seat and took my bag from the table to come out. "Are you coming home, ma'am?" Amber asked when she saw me walking towards the exit door. I stopped walking and looked at her direction. "Yeah, why?" She slightly bowed her head and looked in a different direction to avoid eye contact. Do I look intimidating! "Ammm you’re meeting with Mr. Aguilar will start 30 minutes from—" "Cancel it." “Hmm I don’t think we can do that, Ma’am. It's only 30 minutes and s-start— ”

“That explains why you looked familiar.” Tilting his chin, he asked, “Amber, right?” “Ember,” she corrected. He got her name wrong but still it surprised her that he knew her. But then, ever since her name was linked to Thunder Steel, people just knew who she was. Intently he continued to survey her face until she couldn't take it anymore, and her eyes evaded him. “Ember.” His lips savored her name like a sweet vintage wine. Men had said her name before but she never responded to them the way she did to him. There was something in the way he pronounced Ember that made her warm inside.

Maltilda was still waiting for an answer. “You know… Liam once found a human girl in my inn,” Amber finally said. “I found her when I was out for my usual herb run. She had been attacked by rogues. I heard her crying and screaming… I just couldn’t leave her there. She was in so much pain.” “Amber… what is this?” Maltilda gasped, interrupting her. Amber placed her hands on the piano keys before she continued. “This was a while ago… Anyways, I brought her here. She was unconscious. I planned to take her back to town when she woke up. But Liam found out when he came visiting the inn… He went crazy.”
