Your Call By Secondhand Serenade Lyrics Novels & Stories

"Great to hear that, right now. Send me your address, I'll pick you up. Get ready." After that, the call was disconnected. Hera leaned back in her chair and then closed her eyes. "Forgive me, Mom. I have to sell myself to a stranger," Hera muttered to herself. *** Hera was in the middle of the journey. There was no conversation whatsoever since the beginning. Even Hera seemed to be nervous this time. Somehow, she felt like canceling the entire "compensation" she had to do. It would be better if she saved up and bought the man a new shirt instead.

I need to do something and not act like a princess waiting for her knight in shining armor. But to no avail, no one is answering. The only thing that I could do was call the office. For sure someone is able to answer this, right? Since my people are not always on calls… Hearing the tone ringing, there, someone answered the call. [Hello, this is the Moonlight’s Palace, how may I help you?] “Oh thank goodness someone answered. Where is Serena? Is she there? Tell her I need to talk with her” [May I know who this person is?]

I slipped into one of the guest room and shut the door behind me, locking it. 1:30. I stared at the screen. My thumb hovered over the call button. This is your last chance to stop. I pressed it anyway. The line rang once. Then again. Click. The sound of him picking up sliced through the silence. Then his voice, low, rough, and unfiltered slid into my ear like a secret: “Sera.”

I told her. "Nice, nice. I will be expecting them. Say hello to my sons-in-law" She said. "No problem.Talk to you later." I replied and we ended the call. I searched up Serenity's contact and called her. The phone rang for a while, she did not pick so I called it again on a mission to annoy her. "Who the heck is this?" She asked picking the call after third try. "Well, hello to you too, big sis. Happy New Year." I replied.

"Why won't you leave me?" "Because we're friends!" "Ah!" Serenity jolted out of sleep and sat up from the bed. When her eyes fluttered open, all she saw was the dim light. She was still in her rented place! Serenity breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time. It was only 3 am. Was that a dream? She seemed to have dreamed about her younger self. She had been talking to a boy and singing the song ‘Walk of Life’ by Teresa.

The afternoon sun blinds me, and the sounds of the busy street make me want to retreat. My hands are shaky as I fish for my phone. I swallow the lump in my throat, blinking back tears as I scroll down my contact list. “Baby, aren't you on a flight?” Seraphina, my best friend yawns the moment she pick the call. In the background I hear a cat yowl. “Quit it Duke, I'm on a call!” “Where…where are you?” My voice is cracking. The tears rush forward and I choke on a sob. I bit my lip till I taste copper.

At the same time, the double doors slowly opened. By the time the vocalist sang the lyrics, Nathaniel could see Serena, walking slowly with her head held high. “~ For just the chance to win your heart You could set the bar beyond the stars I'll do anything, anything you ask me to ~” Nathaniel’s vision blurred as his eyes filled, the tears he had long held back finally breaking free. The song carved into his heart because just like the lyrics, he would risk it all for Serena, the woman who got away.

A sly smile appeared instantly, “You wouldn't dare. Your reputation will also be bad. Come On, Baby. We're going to the top together. You just need to slow down under me.” “I don't want to be touched by a disgusting man like you. Leave me alone or you ...” Soon Serena's cell phone rang, one hand clutching a vase of flowers and the other received a call. “Hello, I'm on the second floor. Find me and destroy this man” " said Serena who knows who. “You bitch!!” said the man while picking up his clothes scattered on the floor. BLAM!!

“If you’re listening, I don’t need miracles. I just want to see the ones I love. I want to go home. I want to make this right. If I am what you say I am… help me. Please.” The void didn’t answer. No thunder. No beam of light. Nothing. Serena laughed bitterly, a hollow sound in the emptiness. “Of course. I should’ve known. I’m not special. I’m just another piece in someone else’s game.” She hugged herself again and curled up, her strength failing her. For a moment, she didn’t even feel Nene anymore. Everything grew cold again, silent. She didn’t know how long she stayed there—minutes, hours, maybe longer.

'Cause I know I don't wanna live without you, yeah Come on, let's turn this all around Bring it all back to that bar downtown When you wouldn't let me walk out on you, yeah You said, "Hey, whatcha doing for the rest of your life?" And I said, "I don't even know what I'm doing tonight" Went from one conversation to your lips on mine And you said, "I never regretted the day that I called you mine" So I call you mine Can I call you mine?…
