The Wrong Number That Felt Right
A Contemporary Romance
Chapter 1: A Text Meant for Someone Else
Becca’s phone buzzed as she poured herself a late-night cup of tea.
Unknown Number: “I miss you. Can we talk?”
She frowned. Wrong number.
But something about the message—the sadness in it—made her hesitate before ignoring it.
Instead, she typed back:
“I think you have the wrong person. But I hope whoever you meant this for calls you back.”
She didn’t expect a reply.
But a minute later—
Her phone lit up again.
Unknown Number: “Well, that’s embarrassing.”
And just like that—
A conversation began.
Chapter 2: A Stranger Who Felt Familiar
They kept talking.
For hours.
His name was Jake.
He had just gone through a bad breakup. Sent the text on impulse.
Becca should have stopped responding.
But something about him felt easy, familiar.
She found herself laughing at his jokes.
Found herself waiting for his next message.
And by the time the sun rose—
He wasn’t just a wrong number.
He was someone she wanted to know.
Chapter 3: The Offer She Couldn’t Ignore
A week passed.
They never called. Never FaceTimed.
Just texts—long, late-night messages that made her heart race.
Then one evening, he sent something different.
Jake: “I have an idea.”
Becca: “Oh no.”
Jake: “Let’s meet. No pressure. Just coffee.”
Her stomach flipped.
Was she crazy for even considering it?
Maybe.
But something inside her whispered—
Take the chance.
Chapter 4: The Moment They Finally Met
The café was quiet.
Becca sat by the window, nerves twisting in her stomach.
Then—
The bell chimed.
And Jake walked in.
Their eyes met.
And suddenly—
It wasn’t just a wrong number.
It wasn’t just texts on a screen.
It was real.
And when he smiled—
She knew.
This was the best mistake she had ever made.
Epilogue: A Love That Was Meant to Happen
Months later—
Jake sent her another text.
Jake: “I miss you. Can we talk?”
Becca grinned, shaking her head.
And this time—
She didn’t text back.
She called.
Because some wrong numbers?
They were meant to be right.
