“Datelicious” by Swarna Rao

Submitted to Contest #56

Anna's Pov: After an exhausting day, I culminated my work early and headed home exhilarated. Being a sales manager, my work-life balance was haywire. Except for a few days like today, I always worked late and reached home much past my bedtime. That's why I was excited about today and was hoping to have my favorite meal, catch up with some of the shows my friends have been bragging about and read a novel cozily under my blanket. The thought of which itself made me drive faster. I got home, threw my stuff on the couch and jumped into a wa...

“Lovers dream ” by Leanne Drain

Submitted to Contest #56

Shirley bass account on love Looking back at the time , when I thought love had died . I remember him visually his hair blonde and radiant , his smile dazzled but his teeth like a bunny a sweet delicate bunny . How he made me feel , floating on clouds of light . He made me feel special, however that love and first date was not going to end as a walk in a park . Instead it ended in a disaster hitting out like an earth quake shuddering over the world tearing the world apart. He told me forever he lied and in that single moment I lost h...

“A change in perspective ” by Victoria Dvorak

Submitted to Contest #56

His phone dinged, announcing her message, ‘Sorry, I’m a bit late, I got hung up at the office,’ And not two seconds later, ‘I’m just around the corner,’. He tugged nervously at the neck of his caramel brown hoodie, ran his fingers through his hair, and checked his reflection in the window of the coffee shop. He smiled warmly at the girl at the counter, after accidentally making awkward eye contact. “Dax? Right?” There was now a second reflection, just behind his left shoulder. His friend has sent him a picture but he had only glanced a...

“Taking Chances ” by Casey Wrightson

Submitted to Contest #56

VeronicaWhat comes next? A question I always asked myself. A question that I based my entire life around. Thinking three steps ahead at all times, being so calculated, never taking unnecessary risks. That was me. But here I am. This was the craziest thing I had ever done. I still have no idea why I agreed, but here I was. Was it the best idea I’ve ever had? Probably not, but for once in my life I was OK with that. Was I nervous? Of course, for once I had no idea what was going to happen next,...

“Different” by Menna Ali

Submitted to Contest #56

Driving my car to the restaurant, only one thing is going through my head; this is a bad idea. What the hell am I thinking going to a blind date? What in the world was Mia thinking when she set me up to this? Ugh this is definitely not how I expected my Friday night to go, I just wanted to eat pizza and ice cream from the tub while re-watching Friends for the nth time, and when I complained Mia had the audacity to say that she was being considerate because she set me up on a two-hour dinner on a Friday night rather than a weekend date. “Two-...

John and Sarah 25th August 2020 Sandra Wheatley 2366 wordcount Sarah Looking at myself in my full-length mirror, I wondered if I could disguise my extra pounds, that always seemed to land firmly around my middle. I could not bear to struggle into my very large hold me in pants, if we decided to eat, I would be well and truly stuffed, trussed up lik...

“Meeting expectations ” by Jose Gonzalez

Submitted to Contest #56

Write a story from the different perspectives of 2 people meeting on a blind date. Kathy johnson was tired of the scene. The dating scene can be a bummer when you are past your early 20s. Was she ever going to meet prince charming. She would settle for prince anything. Right about now. Tired, all her friends were off married starting families. And being successful career women. She wanted that. You could smell the desperation like sweaty armpits after gym class. As you get older what can you do. She did not want to be an old maid. But you g...

“A Friend Of A Friend” by Cait Audrey

Submitted to Contest #56

Standing there, outside of the ambient Italian restaurant in her midnight-blue, velvet bodycon dress, which hung from her shoulders and cherished every curve on her body, Cora remembered why she didn't do blind dates. The suspense. Was it the waiting to see if this person had a sweet personality, or if he had a big ego? No. it was the suspense of whether they would show up. Many times, before, Cora had gone on dates she'd been set up on, that somehow her friends had convinced her to go on. And many times, before, she'd been stood up. Or, hal...

“Time will only tell” by Allison Haynes

Submitted to Contest #56

Emmy’s perspective It was a friday morning. When 22 Emmy Jones had just woken up to the sound of her alarm clock. 7am like every morning. “Sorry sweetpea, But you have to get up” She told her orange tabby that was covered in white swirly designs. She got up then put on her bunny slippers which were too big for her feet, then went to feed her cat. She got the food down from the counter, opened the lid and tossed it in the trash. Then set the food on a small plate. This was Emmy's favorite plate. She got it from the farmers market around...

“Love Birds” by River Russell

Submitted to Contest #56

Marissa stood in her bathroom, staring into the mirror than hung just above sink. Her eyebrows were tented and her lips curved downward. "How am I supposed to even.. God! I can't do this. Maybe I should just cancel?" She glanced down at the floor and took a deep breath, shaking her head. "No no, I got this." She walked out of the bathroom and into her bedroom, which was rather small just as the rest of the rooms were. The walls were painted a soft yellow. A happy color, is what she told herself when she was nervous or sad.. Yellow is a happy...

“A red dress on valentines day” by Matias Matias

Submitted to Contest #56

She said a red dress. On valentines day of all days, and I, a nice jacket with a rose in his pocket. How many of us here tonight are living the exact same scenario. I could sit in any of these empty chairs and present myself to the lady in red as her date and they would be none the wiser and my date could mistake me for a random guy sitting in anticipation of meeting his date. It would seem that we all share in our unoriginality as well as our sense of fashion. I can only stand out with my conversation. What am I going to talk about? Hey, wh...

“No Connection ” by Mello Timothy

Submitted to Contest #56

Siya rushed to her desk. She was late again and hoped Ruby wouldn't notice. She could be such a bitch. Ruby wasn't even her boss, she'd just been with the company longer and thought that warranted her power over Siya. Her reason for being late was her ex, who had gotten her late in the past, but for good reason. They used to be so in love. They'd spend all night talking and making love and do the same in the morning, causing Siya's lateness. Those times were blissful. Now she couldn't even stand him, quite hated the sight of him. After fin...

“The Wisteria Tunnel” by Sarah Oakes

Submitted to Contest #56

They say if you walk through the tunnel, you will find your one true love. Gennar walked through the entrance, past the two tall wisterias that leant over the entrance, purple flowers gleaming like iolites. He made his way into the tunnel, wondering if he would find her this year. He had told Cwuife that he would give it one more try. He walked through the wisteria tunnel, without much hope. Gennar gasped. A tall fae with deep amethyst wings and only one eye stood in the grove, walking towards him. He felt his soul sing. He had found...

“Pastel Colors and White Chairs” by Adheena Babu

Submitted to Contest #56

As steam raised from the mug of coffee on my table, I could feel my heartbeats rising. Just when I thought, “Is she not going to come?”, I heard the entry bell of the shop. A beautiful girl walked in. She had long and curly brown hair, wore a pink flowy dress. I secretly hoped that she be my blind date. It was a cute little coffee shop, the one that had beautiful pastel-colored walls, white chairs, and filled with the aroma of coffee beans. As I walked into the café, I saw a boy wearing a white shirt and blue jeans looking at me. He had b...
