All Chapters of Serendipitous Love (Completed): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next morning, I torture myself out of bed very early and do something I've never done before: I put on shorts, a top, and sneakers and leave the house to go down to the water. It's still quite cold outside at this time of day, but I hope the exercise will get me warmed up soon. After looking in all directions so as not to meet any uninvited person, I start running.After just a few minutes, I realize that I'm a total screwdriver when it comes to sports, but I clench my teeth and keep torturing myself. Every meter I conquer is a huge success. And I really haven't been able to report much of success lately.It has only been ten minutes before my face is already glowing and I feel as if my lungs are coughing up any moment. Completely out of breath, I stop and lean over to rest my hands on my thighs."You're running too fast."That can't be true now! I straighten up and spin around. It's true. There's this idiot standing there smiling smugly. I clench my

"Oh holy shit!" We both screech out loud as our toes touch the water. I had wished to travel to the North Pole and drown myself in the ice-cold water there - this one comes pretty close.Somewhere in front of us you can hear Roni's laughter, behind us Sandy screams his heart out. I squeeze Anja's hand and hop up and down to warm myself up somehow. "My legs are about to fall off," I say, and I can't keep my teeth from chattering.“As long as it's just the legs.” Roni suddenly stands in front of us and splashes terribly cold water at us.I let go of Anja's hand to protect myself from this insidious attack and throw the wildest curses at Roni.A wild water fight breaks out, and although I never thought it was possible, I soon have the fun of my life. I'm soaking wet, shivering like a leaf and laughing until my stomach hurts. In my exuberance, I even briefly forget that a person does not exist for me and attack Benjamin with a surge of water, wher

"I know. God, Jordan, I'm so sorry! ”I run my fingers through my hair and I'm on the verge of despair. It would only be understandable if he would fire me for this behavior.The door opens and Benjamin comes in. I suppress a pained groan and close my eyes. This evening is a nightmare!“Jordan, it was my fault. I provoked her, ”he says, and I look at him in confusion. “You could actually say that what I've done borders on sexual harassment. She had every right to defend herself against me. Also physically. "Jordan frowns, then looks at me invitingly."He said ... a few ugly things," I mumble softly. Benjamin provoked me, that's right, but I had absolutely no right to hit him! "Still, the blow was not acceptable," I add truthfully."Guys, you are beating me up." Jordan shakes his head. “I don't want this to happen again in my bar. Resolve your problems elsewhere. Are we clear?""Yes," Benjamin and I confirm in sy

Now I look up and meet his gaze. I can't guess what's going on inside him, but there's something I've never seen him do before. A trace of sadness, maybe. Or dejection? Anyway, it does something very strange to my heart. It gets difficult, pulls and pokes a little. It amazes me, but suddenly I feel a touch of compassion; the desire to do or say something to make the other person feel better. The man who lied to me and whom I really can't stand.I turn away and wait for the finished drinks to be handed to him on a tray. He goes to his table without saying another word and I get back to work.Well, that would have actually fulfilled my should and would never have to say a word to Benjamin Mynard again ... if it weren't for a faint curiosity in me that has just been rekindled. I would really like to know what happened to him last weekend. Especially to find out why my sister is so mad at me. As far as I know now, she has absolutely no reason to be. I slapped him, which wa

Hedwig clicks her tongue. “By then you will be old and no longer able to walk on your own. No, no, I already know how to help you. ”She puts her purse on the table and takes out a pen. Then she takes one of the napkins and scribbles something on it before handing it to me. "This is my adress. I'm always there, except on Wednesdays. Just come over."  I don't know what to make of it, but I nod and put the napkin in my pocket. “That was a very interesting conversation, Hedwig. Unfortunately I have to go now because I have to get up early tomorrow. " "You could go through the night," she says with a grin. "I hardly slept at your age." I make a face. If I don't get at least four hours of sleep, I might fall over at work tomorrow. “You are clearly tougher than me. Even now."“We'll get you out of your shell. Come by, ”says Hedwig with conviction."Yes, let's see." I pull some money out of my wall
