You Had Me In The First Half Novels & Stories

"Perfect, so you're going to say the first place you met me was at the beach where you went to get some fresh air." "Okay, then how did I talk to you?" "How about you say we both collided with each other and you couldn't stop looking at me and you said, 'damn, she is so cute." "Nah, I can't do that." "You have no choice."

That happened a lot faster than I thought it would. “No, you’re not insane. I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to be here.” And my mind is trying to convince me that I’m not insane. “Again, you’re not insane and I’m not your mind. I’m not sure how I should prove it to you.” “Uhm, hi?” “Hi, you must be my other half, right? Well, third in this case.” “I guess am.” “Cool. Anyway, I’m going to sleep for a bit.

That her mother is stood outside in a frenzy over almost losing her. I just ramble about everything. I keep talking so she can hear my voice. I'm not fucking losing her again! "I remember the first time I met you baby girl.. I was sat in Chino's- you know, Alberto's cafe.. Doing my usual morning routine, coffee, a bagel and my newspaper when in you walked.. Such grace.

“I remember.” “Well, it’s just this. You and I ... we happened much too fast. I’m overwhelmed. If you’ll remember, I tried to tell you something like this before we made love for the first time.” “I remember. I also remember I discounted it. Nothing you do or say makes me believe that I overwhelm you.”

"I want to help you. I mean, you came to my house in the first place and-" "Fine!" I screamed, voice with a familiar shake. "I am-"

Progress. I wasn’t ready to say yes. But for the first time in a long while, I wasn’t ready to say no either.

“I’ve never met anyone like you. When I first saw you, I was stunned at the cute girl with oversized glasses. Curiosity to meet her, brought me to your door.

People around us were really quiet, listening to him talk, but I could hear some people murmur his name. I was shaking, still too shocked to look around. I felt a lump in my throat as he spoke of our first encounter. “When you and I were together for the first time, I hadn’t realized I had given you half of my heart.
