Longing You Chapter 14
Instead of having a nightmare, Miranda was simply tossing and turning in her bed. She knew she couldn’t sleep, so she grabbed her jacket and headed to the Midnight Snackers. She was surprised to see Eric sitting at her table when she walked into the restaurant. She took a deep breath and approached him. “Hey. I didn’t expect to see you here.” She stated this while sitting across from him. “I just wanted to see what it is about this place that draws you in. But I understand now. It helps to know that we are not the only ones who have a messed up life.” He informed her. “Eric—” She sighs tiredly, clearly as upset as he is about what is going on with them. “Chuck it. Forget what I said. I think I should leave.” He was about to leave when something happened that caused him to stop dead in his tracks. “I killed someone.” She blurted out. “I don’t believe you.” Eric did not believe one bit that Miranda was capable of doing such an atrocious thing. “I did it, Eric. That is why I was
Longing You Chapter 15
After much thinking, two days later, Miranda decided to go to Eric’s place to meet him for the last time, as he didn’t even call her after she told him the truth. She drives herself to his home, only to find Lander and Rachel there. “Miranda.” Rachel immediately hugged her tightly. “Why didn’t you tell us anything? We could have helped you. This morning, Eric told us everything. He is a mess, Miranda. Please, you two need to talk to each other.” “There’s nothing else to say, Rachel. I have just come to give—” Lander, however, cut her off. “Please, Miranda. There are still a lot of things unsaid. Meet him only once.” He insisted, and she nodded. Miranda went towards his door and knocked. She decided to let herself in after a few more knocks and found Eric sleeping. She moved in closer to get a better look at him. She noticed bags under his eyes, and one of his hands was bandaged. She sat next to him. “I am so sorry, Eric. I should not have returned to your life. It’s entirely my
Longing You Chapter 16
The next morning, Eric stroked Miranda's hair while she slept soundly. She was wearing a small smile on her lips. When she opened her eyes, she saw him staring at her with the expression she had longed to see for the previous seven years. Nobody could ever know how much she yearned for him all these years. “Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked him nervously. After all these years, this felt new to her. “I am just making up for the last seven years. I swear to God, Miranda, if you hadn't killed him, I would have done it myself, and I could guarantee you that he wouldn't have died just once.” He stated. She attempted to calm him down. “It's all over now. He has gone far away from our life.” “How did you sleep?” He asked her worriedly. “Surprisingly, the best I have had in the last few years. It's rightly said that a home is where the heart is. How about you?” She asked him. “The best. I have missed you so much, Mira.” Eric told her while pecking her cheeks. “I missed yo
Longing You Chapter 1
Miranda was walking, but her gaze was fixed on her phone as she was texting a co-worker when she collided with someone. If it hadn’t been for that person, Miranda would have surely fallen down and embarrassed herself at this party. “I am sor—” The words were caught in her throat when she saw the person with whom she crashed. How can she ever forget him? She has longed to see him for many years. It flabbergasted Eric to see his wife after seven years in his arms. If it weren’t for Lizzy, his daughter, then he wouldn’t know for how long he would have kept her in his arms. It felt like a very familiar emotion inside him, and it was too good to be true to have her so close to him. Miranda, though, was astounded to see her daughter so grown up after only seven years. She is now ten years old and has evolved into a beautiful girl. Her eyes had always yearned to see her precious angel. “Dad, this party is extremely dull. When can we go home?” She asked him, completely ignoring her mother.
Longing You Chapter 2
Miranda was distorted. She wished for nothing more than for things to return to normal after the misfortune that took place seven years ago. It’s a shame that her life will now be filled with loneliness. But she has to be strong and accept her fate. And with that in mind, she went to work. She worked at Little Stars Orphanage in Bluestone Valley. Her uncle used to own this place, but she has taken over the management post his death. She loves the place from the bottom of her heart. It was unfortunate that she would be unable to show her daughter the love she deserved on the day she left. So, she spends time with the kids in her orphanage. It can be described as a kind of replacement or redemption, and everyone needs one reason in their life to help them survive. Further, this place was like an extended family to her because she had lost her own a long time ago, and it was the hardest decision she had ever made. This was one of hers. Miranda arrived at her destination within ten mi
Longing You Chapter 3
Miranda has been the only person on Eric’s mind for the past few days. Who is he kidding, though? Since the moment he met her, since the day he asked her out, since the time they have been dating, and since the since the promise of eternity of being together, she has never left her mind. Even after she left them, he never stopped thinking about her. So many thoughts were battling in his brain. Why does she still have such an impact on him after all this time? He was doing well without her. She had to barge back into his life just as he thought he could move on. No jokes there, but he is well aware that he will never be able to move on from her. Not that he tried. Eric was walking past their town hospital exit hall when he noticed Miranda entering. “What the hell are you doing here?” He spoke his thoughts louder than he wanted to. “I— um—” Having caught her off guard, she stammered. She couldn’t think of the right way to respond to him. Instead of telling the complete truth, she f
Longing You Chapter 4
Eric's parents were astounded to discover Miranda had abruptly left her home. None of them expected her to abandon her husband and daughter. The reason is still unknown to them. Miranda, they believed, was not the type of person who would give up her family for selfish motives. She did appear to be stressed and apprehensive as the days passed before she left them. They always suspected that something was bothering her, and they did try to talk to her, but she persuaded them that everything was fine. Lander and Rachel exchanged knowing glances and went to greet her. They were still convinced that their daughter-in-law had made such a significant decision for a good reason. They attempted to contact her after she left, but they were unable to do so. She had changed her number, and there was no clue about her whereabouts. “Hello, Miranda. It’s been a very long time.” Rachel was the first to speak. Miranda was taken aback when she noticed her in-laws standing in front of her. First, it
Longing You Chapter 5
Eric had just finished cleaning the kitchen after his daughter had left for school with a neighbour when the doorbell rang. His instant thoughts turned to Miranda. Even now, since the moment she left them, whenever the doorbell rang, he anticipated her to be there, but he was always greeted with disappointment. So much has changed since then. When Miranda was with them, he merely provided minor assistance by assisting her with domestic chores, but in her absence, he was not left with any choice but to take complete control of it. Not that he is complaining. It only made him wish that he would have helped her more around the house, and he felt that maybe then she would not have left him. In these seven years, he tried to find numerous reasons for her leaving them, and it only made him feel worse with each passing day, which has now turned into anger and frustration. When he opened the door, though, he found his parents standing there. “What a pleasant surprise, Mom and Dad! What
