Don T Overthink It Novels & Stories

Without questioning it. Without overthinking what came next.

“Don’t even think about it!” BOOOOOMMM…

“Do you think I’m making a mistake?” Marcus leaned forward; his voice low. “I think you’re making a decision out of desperation. That doesn’t mean it’s the wrong one, but it does mean you should go into it with both eyes wide open. This isn’t a small favour, Laya. It’s a lifetime choice. Even if you’re released after the birth… the implications won’t just vanish.” “I know,” she whispered. He sighed and studied her carefully. “Have you explored any other options? I have contacts, wealth managers, venture capitalists. If it’s money you need, perhaps there’s another—”

Fucking hell. "Think deeply about it, Don."

He tells me. I paused for a bit and thought about it before turning away. “You make it sound so easy,” I said. “It's not like it is easy, but that's just how it has to be in life and you just don't have to care about the people that aren't important to you.” He said. “It's just how things have to be if it's for yourself.”

“Is there anything she can do to make it up to you? We’re trying to get her into the world of work before she takes over my business.” Melissa steepled her fingers a habit she’d picked up from her father when he was about to give bad news. “My advice?

Who do you fantasize about?” Nate leans back against the window and cradles his beer, looking down to the side and the girls for a moment as I stare at him. He watches them intensely and smiles my way when I take too long to respond.

Doesn’t know that I’m figuring this out as I go. Rook must see something in my expression because he sighs, shaking his head. “Mercer, I swear to God, if you overthink this any harder, your brain is gonna combust.” I scowl. “I should overthink this.” “Okay, but should you?” he challenges. “Because last I checked, sitting here spiraling about whether or not you can do this doesn’t actually help you do it. It just makes you miserable. So how about instead of stressing over whether or not you can, you just… I don’t know. Do it.”

Joe gave me a pitiful look and then placed here hand in my shoulder, "you're overthink things. Stop overthinking. It only makes it worse, trust me and you don't want that." "I'm sorry." I groaned. "Will me making the first move make it weird or I should wait for him to make the first move?" "If you are sure about it, make the first move." "But what if he doesn't feel the same?" I know she said not to overthink, but I can't help it. "Then I will cut his balls off." She shrugged.
