“COINCIDENCE OF ROMANCE” by 💕A &M💕

Submitted to Contest #56

Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together? Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences. It didn't begin as romance, or friendship either. My friends and I were doing our part-time job when a call reached my phone. It was an unknown number. I picked it with courage in my hands ready to fight whatever consequence I'm going to face. '' Hello, you just won a ticket to date with billionaire's,'' said the man. I gasped with shock. It was one of the most famous shows in the world. You have a day in the life with a bill...

“Love at First and Last Sight ” by Mary Brown

Submitted to Contest #56

She sat alone at the small table that was positioned so far in the corner, it almost looked like it had been placed there as an afterthought. She smoothed the wrinkled tablecloth, as she scanned the various faces in the restaurant. Her hair was a radiant Auburn, with bronze undertones, which caught the light from the lone candle in the center of the table. Despite his nervousness, he longingly traced her reflection in the window. He knew he was late, he felt awful, watching her wait on him. He tried to get a hold of himself, tried to keep hi...

“Blind Date” by Judith Buskohl

Submitted to Contest #56

Harry step out of the glass encased shower in his apartment to dry off his body after having a steamy hot shower to get ready for his blind date with Julia. He started to hum a song that he just couldn’t get out of his head. The lyrics seemed to be firmly planted in the depths of his mind and short of a bomb going off in his head, he wasn't sure how to get the song out of his mind. He stood in front of his mirror looking at himself wondering what he had got himself into with this blind date. From the tips of his reddish hair...

“CROSSROADS” by Vidushi Sharma

Submitted to Contest #56

We often find ourselves in inevitable circumstances. We call it by different names fate, destiny or just plain, simple bad luck. I am in an acquiesce myself now. I haven't quite introduced myself. I am devi. Devi means goddess but today the goddess is being shipped out the temple. I am 27 and for most people that's time when the countdown starts. It's not a story about bombs or terrorists. It's not nice to call my aunt a terrorist. Nevertheless, this is a story of my arranged marriage. In India marriage or rather , a timely marriage is assoc...

“The Last Date” by Kimberley Gillespie

Submitted to Contest #56

Planning is everything. Devon Lattimore took great care with the sharp dagger he was washing with ammonium. He turned it this way, then that, inspecting the shiny metal for any sign of the savage deeds that had been executed by it. A slow smile and a final wipe saw the knife tucked away into a custom made leather sheath and then into a large duffel bag. He could not waste any more time lest he be late for a very important date. Sarah stepped from the shower dripping wet and heart racing. Nervous hands reached forward to wipe the stea...

“Dating can be fun!” by David Hovgaard

Submitted to Contest #56

Dating can be fun! “How did it go” Heather Long asked the moment she came into Mary Flynn’s office. Mary didn’t answer at first because Mary didn’t really know how to put, how it went into words. It was Monday. She was at work and Friday seemed so far away now. “Recorders on” Daniel Rogers said to the air “this is your official after action assessment.” “Well sir I really don’t think this was a mission, it was well… It was well, supposed to be a date” Gordon Hodge told his immediate supervisor. “It doesn’t matter what it was sup...

“Me, You and our First Laugh.” by Enenyi Abigail

Submitted to Contest #56

ElodieI adjust stiffly on my seat, my eyes focused squarely on the magazine in my hands. My eyes are unable to catch any words though. The words seem to have paired themselves up and were dancing to the tune of my palpable embarrassment. At least even mere words have partners that did not leave them hanging. I can swear that the waitresses, with their high buns and fake smiles, are already giving me the stink eye. As if on cue, I hear a burst of soft giggles from the waitress’ station and I stiffen. They are laughing at me. Surely they are. ...

“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...

“DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE MILKY WAY” by Mimi Mazzarella

Submitted to Contest #56

DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE MILKY WAY?TIERRA:Why did I allow Halley to convince me to meet this guy? Now, I’m stuck here outside the Galaxy Bar on a Friday night – freezing my butt off. A few days ago, my friend, Halley Tolymie – a science teacher from the Newton High School – asked me if I’d like to go on a blind date. Naturally, I declined – after all, set-ups like that never work out! However, when she casually added that the thirty-one-year-old guy was “tall, gorgeous and incredibly interesting,” I asked her where he worke...

“One Night ” by Janelle Hammonds

Submitted to Contest #56

Piercing ocean blue eyes that I wouldn’t mind drowning in if I had a say in how I go out, with impossibly long and dark eyelashes surrounding them, even if they are fake, and I hate that all it makes me wonder is what else about her is fake. She isn’t made up like a doll, but there’s definitely significant effort put into her look. Multi-colored acrylic nails, loose but flattering jeans, plain blouse tucked into the front of her jeans. No heels, which I’m surprised about. If I had come across a head shot on her desk or online, I definitely w...

“Love on a Saturday” by Chris Riffle

Submitted to Contest #56

She’s doing her hair for the first time in months. She even broke out the bobby pins – new ones, not the ones rusting on the floor of her tiny bathroom – in an attempt to give those stray strands a little more purpose. He’s shirtless in his bedroom checking out his body in the mirror behind his door. He’s gained some muscle in the past few months. He’s feeling especially great about himself. He even trimmed his beard a little shorter and neater. It was getting pretty itchy anyway. She puts on mascara but it’s so chunky she has to wash ...

“Last Minute” by Andrea Brobst

Submitted to Contest #56

“Shit!” Alex exclaimed narrowly avoiding a wave of gutter fluids inspired by the distracted taxi driver and their obnoxious yellow cab. Spending nearly three hours carefully choosing the right shirt(old faithful light blue Hawaiian button-up with pink flamingos and palm trees mingling in a fashion that said, Hey I’m fun—but thoughtful enough to choose a collar); tucked into a pair of well fitted gray pants (another favorite being comfortable and yet versatile); finished off with classic red Chuck Taylors (high-tops of course). All the though...

“Unexpected Rainbows” by Sandy Buxton

Submitted to Contest #56

How did he let Adam talk him into this? Yes, he was in a dry spell, but a self-imposed dating drought was not the same as facing constant rejection. Brandon sighed as he poured another cup of coffee. The argument still rankled. "She's nice. You'll like her," Adam said as they worked out at 'Fitness Round the Clock'. "I know, I know, it sounds hinkey...the classic, but she has a great personality. But she really does," he said laughing. "Your cousin," Br...
