Missedconnection Stories

It's only what could have been if we both did exactly what our brains asked us to do and surrendered to the body's needs. If we let the silence speak louder than logic, if we allowed the moments to stretch instead of shrinking them with reason. Maybe we would have found something rare - not perfect, but undeniably real. A parallel world, perhaps, where we didn't hesitate.

two strangers who had their moment and then lost it. __________ extended summary inside.

Lizzie and Cal have been best friends since university. This potential book will follow Lizzie and Cal as they jump from their crazy past to the present where Cal is getting married. I'm posting this as a preview, if I get a lot of interest I'll publish the book.

Kapag nasa industriya ka ng showbiz, ang hirap magtago ng nararamdaman sa isang tao. Hindi lahat ng piniling manahimik, walang nararamdaman. Minsan, may tao na pinilit talagang manahimik dahil natakot silang masira ang kung anong meron sila sa tao na iyon - kahit pa kapalit nito ang pagkakataong maging totoo sa nararamdaman nila. Para kay Rafael, sapat na ang makita si Dwey araw-araw, kahit hindi siya ang dahilan ng mga ngiti nito. Pero nang dumating ang araw na pinilit ipareha si Dwey sa iba, doon niya narealize kung gaano kasakit ang manahimik. "The Words I Wish I Had Said" is a story about missed chances, unspoken feelings, and the kind of love that never had the right timing. Kasi minsan, hindi mo kailangang mawalan ng tao para masabing nawalan ka - minsan, sapat na 'yung hindi mo nasabi.

​"It was 5:30 AM on a freezing February morning when I first saw her staring at me on the bus. I thought it was just a coincidence. I was wrong. ​From a crowded bus to the 8:02 train from Harihar, fate kept pushing us together. She was Lavanya-a brilliant young banker with a love for chocolates and a smile that disarmed me. I was just a traveler trying to keep his religious fast. ​For one hour, we shared a seat and a lifetime of conversation. But in a story defined by shy hesitations and unspoken words, would a single train ride be enough? Or would the memory of her spectacles, her scarf, and that final, lingering look back at Kadur station remain a 'what if' forever? ​A true story about the gravity of a chance meeting and the regret of the words we leave unsaid."

A woman stuck at a crossroads sits down at a park bench. She's joined by a strange man, also stuck at a crossroads, who's determined to have a conversation with her.

„Maybe in Another Life" Some people are meant to meet. Some are meant to love. But not all are meant to stay. Leon Vale never believed in fate, until the night he met Sienna Solis. A chance encounter under city lights, a connection too strong to ignore. She was fire, he was gasoline, and together, they burned. But life has a cruel way of pulling soulmates apart, and love isn't always enough to rewrite destiny. This is a story of missed moments, late-night dreams, and the kind of love that lingers long after it's gone. Because sometimes, no matter how much two people want each other... The universe has other plans. But maybe, just maybe, they'll find each other again. Maybe in another life.

You and Oscar were the perfect couple. Through thick and thin, you were always together, but an accident changes everything. Now, 10 years later and still pining over your lost love, you have grown accustomed to live with the pain of never seeing him again. But what if destiny has something else planned?.... With the responsibilities of today, can you embrace the past and hope for a perfect tomorrow?

An experimental story that follows the emotional journey of Vivian (Vivi), a woman approaching her mid 30s, who is trapped in an unfulfilling marriage with her husband, Sebastian. Despite their shared intellectual pursuits, Vivi finds herself yearning for something deeper-a connection she once glimpsed with Julian, a man she had a love for in college but never pursued. When she unexpectedly runs into Julian after fifteen years at a bar called the Blue Hour, old feelings resurface, leading her to question her choices, what might have been and consequently, everything about herself.

Three years of silence. One unfinished conversation. A confession that came too late-or maybe just in time. This is a true story of what almost was. Of quiet crushes, awkward Snapchats, unspoken feelings, and the one message that changed everything. I never thought I'd talk to him again. I never thought I'd say what I really felt. And I definitely never thought he'd reply. But he did. And that night, everything shifted. This is the story I never thought I'd write... but couldn't keep to myself anymore.

A missed call. A voice on the other end she can't stop thinking about. When Emma finally agrees to meet the stranger behind the calls, she doesn't expect fate to play its hand-or to uncover a connection from her past that changes everything.

THIS STORY IS AN ORIGINAL REVERSE HAREM, CONTAINING A POLYGAMOUS RELATIONSHIP. THIS WILL BE UPLOADED AS A COMPLETED, STAND ALONE ROMANCE NOVEL, AS PART OF THE FAB DAY EVENT ON THE ACADEMY FB PAGE. The summer before college. It was supposed to be her first step into the world beyond the familiar, a chance for Esther Carmichael to leave her parents and her small town behind, if only for a week or two, before she stumbles headlong into the next chapter of life. It was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime - until it all went wrong. Finding herself stranded in a service station in the back end of nowhere, with a lifelong friendship in tatters and only thirteen dollars to her name, Esther can't see how things could get much worse. What she needs is a miracle, but those just don't happen to girls like her... Then she accepts a ride from a young man riding a Harley. One minute, her whole world is ending; the next, she's being swept along on an altogether different type of road trip. 'The Suicide Run: The most dangerous motor sporting event on Earth!' Spontaneously sworn in as the newest member of the Las Vegas Silverbacks, the two-time, reigning world champions, Esther quickly realises that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. She knows she should leave before she gets in too deep, before she becomes too attached to the four-man team who are convinced she's their ticket to a third, undefeated title, but walking away is never that easy. Not when it becomes clear she's a natural. As summer draws to a close, she'll have to decide, once and for all, which path to take. Can she turn her back on the life that's waiting for her back home? Is it worth giving up an education, a shot at a conventional life, if she has finally found her dream? What is she willing to give up, in order to follow her forever after? One decision. One choice. One spontaneous moment of madness is sometimes all it takes to embark on life's greatest adventure. Cover by @rosebud024

I missed the chance to connect. Even in the moment, I had this feeling I was never going to forget you. There was something just so perfect about you, I looked into your eyes and I felt like I was looking into the eyes of true beauty and for a moment we connected more than I've ever connected to another person. I stared. You stared. I walked right by you, and I did not say anything. My entire life I have always initiated conversations with men. I always initiate every communication. I am a spark, and my spark was dead. I chose not to eat that night and I think I missed out on that connection because I chose anorexia over happiness. I am done. I am no longer choosing vanity, some false sense of perfection and discipline over MY AUTHENTIC SELF. I am sad I missed the connection. I am sadder I've missed out on living for almost two years now. My 2026 New Year's Resolution is to eat more and work out less. This is the dream resolution for many people, but it is my current, deepest fear. Once I feel fully recovered, I'm going back to that bar. It is a 45 minute drive from my place, but I'm going to go every Friday and Saturday night until I see him again. It will be worth it.

In a world of money, fame, and all the champagne that came with it, Camsy Colbert, the famous wedding planner, was alone. But it was fine; she was totally cool with being single. Men could never hold a steady relationship anyway. She's invited to her cousin's wedding, a wedding she's planning, and so is Parker Wellington, the guy who almost changed her view towards men. Almost. The heat of this three-day event mingled with all the buzz in the air forces, the two of them together, and reignites an almost forgotten flame. Five years ago. |Wattpad featured| #1in adultromance #1in romcom #2in newadult #17in humor ©AOFunke 2021

i posted this as a story cuz why not. i'll post this on Craiglist tomorrow or something idk.

I always say every story worth reading is about a romance of some sort. This is a short story about a lost connection on a crush I had at university.

A woman becomes fascinated by a mysterious man that flirts with her, but even after a passionate encounter with him she still doesn't know who he is, but she doesn't care. Each week, on a Friday, a man walks by the store where a woman works. He casually flirts with her as he walks by. His smile and looks captivate her, but she can't build up the nerve to talk to him, and when she decides to try it she ends up witnessing a horrible accident. Her moment of discovery with the man that has captured her interest finally happens, but few words are spoken, and she never learns his identity even after a passionate encounter inside her store. Ultimately his identity doesn't matter, because all she wants-is him... Every Friday.
