by short stories i mean only a post long so u decided "why make a whole thread about one post?"
i gess i'll post a short story to show an example but i really hope this thread works...lol
I knocked on her door, my hands shaking trying to keep grasp on the food I had brought with me. It was raining outside but somehow it didn’t even bother me. I was far too nervous. What if she wasn’t there? What if she didn’t want to see me? What if I felt unwanted?
She had asked me to come over but something still made me feel nervous inside. I tried to push it aside as I rang the doorbell this time. “Just breath, Alex…It’s not like anything’s going to happen. Just relax,” I told myself exhaling just as the door opened.
“Hey!!!” Laura yelled excitedly. But my body had gone into full shaking. Completely nervous as she invited me in. God she looked so beautiful but I knew I couldn’t tell her that. Even if she did know I liked her, it still felt weird saying it.
She grabbed the food in my hand and tossed it onto a nearby table and pulled me in for a hug. I knew she could feel me shaking and somehow I didn’t want to let go of her. I felt like crying and I didn’t know why. Maybe it was the confusion. Her hands dropped to her sides and strangely I was still holding her. Suddenly I realized and let go. She looked me in the eyes.
“Just relax,” she smiled and walked to the TV. “So I’m home alone for a good 3 hours….” She looked at me “What do you wanna do?”
“Umm…” I tried to play it cool like she said. “It’s raining.” I smiled. I knew she knew what I was referring to because she had been talking about it for days.
“I finally have someone to run with!” she smiled falling onto the floor, taking off her shoes and socks. She glanced up at me, still standing and watching her. “You gunna take yours off?”
“Oh…Yeah.” I said placing one hand on the nearby table for balance and taking off one shoe then the other. Throwing my socks on the floor she grabbed me by the arm and forced me out the front door, slamming it behind us.
okay ya so thats a short story...cliff hanger but who cares lol god i really hope this was a good idea lol
