Author's Note: So…I got this idea yesterday at Mardel, the Christian store. I thought it would be cute for a story, so of course I had to write a ficlet! Sorry it's been so long!
Fate
Mr. Right
Yumi's eyes scanned the books with vague interest, waiting for Ulrich. "Almost done?" she asked, suppressing her sigh.
The boy nodded. "Yeah…Just looking for something."
To pass the time, Yumi went back to the Woman's section of the book shelf. "Oh!" she smiled, reading through the titles quickly.
"Hmm?"
"There was a book I read once," the girl muttered as she searched. "I don't remember the title, but it was really good…"
Ulrich stopped his searching and went over to her shelf. "Really? Who was it by?"
Yumi stared in space for a moment, but couldn't remember. "I don't know…it was called "Something, something, something, while waiting for Mr. Right…"
He walked away without a word. Confused, she stared after him. Back in the Teen section, his searching seemed more important. Shrugging, the Asian girl turned back, rejoicing when she noticed the familiar cover.
"Found it!" she beamed and held it up for Ulrich to see. "Lady in Waiting: Becoming God's Best While Waiting for Mr. Right. Man, I love this book."
Ulrich looked up for only a second, before looking back the books. "What's the matter, Ulrich? Why are you acting so…weird?"
"Just looking for a book," he replied shortly.
She scanned his shelves. "What book?"
"How to Become Mr. Right."
Yumi looked confused. "There's a book like that?"
"I wish."
She smiled, finally getting it. "Oh…Ulrich…" She didn't know what else to say.
She also didn't know how their hands ended up intertwined. But she wasn't complaining.
