Zemblanity
(n) The inevitable discovery of
what we would rather not know;
the opposite of serendipity.
"Tonight was really nice"
He smiled, his dimples showing, "I had a great time"
We stood there for a moment and he looked at his hands.
"Could I kiss you?"
I nodded and he leaned in. It was a nice kiss.
"Are you busy next week?"
"I'm not"
"You want to be?"
I laughed, "Why not"
"Friday at six?"
"Sounds great" I unlocked my door and stepped inside, "See you Friday" I turned and smiled.
He held up his hand and waved, "Goodnight"
"Night"
I shut the door and leaned against it for a moment, listening to his car leave and then I screamed and laughed at the same time.
"Wow, that was amazing!" I touched my lips with my fingers, "I like him" I smiled, "A lot"
I walked into my living room and dropped my bag on the couch and flopped down right next to it. I threw my head back and closed my eyes.
Everything was going good now. I'm so happy.
My head snapped up as someone knocked on my door.
"Maybe he forgot to tell me something?" I wondered as I walked to the door and opened it, "Oh" I took a step back, my hand still on the doorknob, "Who are you?"
A girl was standing in front of me. She had long black hair and dark brown eyes. She was wearing dark jeans, a black t-shirt and a jean jacket.
"I know how your story ends and I want to change it"
"I'm sorry-What?"
"You're my favorite Character and I know how your story ends"
I stared at her, "This is a joke right?" I laughed quietly and looked around her, "Someone put you up to this?"
"Your name is Maria Jacobs and I know how your story ends"
My eyes found hers again, "I don't understand" I ran a hand through my messy brown hair, "What do you mean, my story?"
She sighed, "I'm your biggest fan, I've read all of the books you're in and I-" she paused and looked over her shoulder and then back at me, "I went into the Authors building and I read the ending of your series"
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
She held her hands together and wiggled her fingers around, "Okay, but can I come inside? I feel like I'm being watched"
"I don't know"
Her face deadpanned, "I'm not going to kill you" she rolled her eyes, "Why would I kill my favorite Character?"
I looked at her.
She looked harmless and I was curious about what she was talking about.
I finally sighed, "Come in"
