An Unexpected Summer Chapter Twenty-Four - The dreaded party
Kyson Arya and I were outside of the hall where the party was. We have been standing here for the last ten minutes because I have been trying to find the courage to go in. I felt like a pathetic coward. It has been years since it all happened, and I have Arya now, so it shouldn’t be getting to me as much as it is. Arya is being patient with me, something I am grateful for. “I think I am ready now,” I finally say. Arya smiles, kissing me softly, “Okay. Come on then.” She offers her hand to me, which I take. I nod, and we head inside. The place is already full. Some people I know, family members, and others I don’t know. I take a deep breath, and Arya squeezes my hand. I glance around and see Gordon sitting at one of the tables with Lena and some of their friends. A wave of anger took over me, but only for a moment; then, it subsided. “I guess that is them over there?” she whispers. “Yes. Gordon and Lena are over there,” I reply, nodding to where they are. “Ignore them. We should
An Unexpected Summer Chapter Twenty-Five - Who does she think she is?
Arya We finally find Kyson’s mom sitting at a table with some other family members. I can feel someone watching after us, and I have a feeling who it is. I glance over my shoulder, and Lena is staring. I don’t know if the issue is she regrets what she did to Kyson or if she doesn’t like the fact that he is with someone else. Does she think he was going to spend the rest of his life pining after her? I only met her for a minute, but it was enough to work out I didn’t like her. She doesn’t seem to like me either, but I don’t give a damn. Kyson keeps me close as we approach the table. “Hello, mom.” He says softly. She quickly stops the conversation she was having, turns around and smiles brightly when she sees Kyson standing there. She jumps to her feet, rushing over to hug him tightly. He let go of my hand to hug back. “I have missed you, my boy.” She coos. “I missed you too, mom.” He replies sweetly. I smile at the interaction between them. When they pull apart, she turns her at
An Unexpected Summer Chapter Twenty-Six -How dare she!
Kyson It is the last round at the bar because the party is coming to an end. I am standing at the bar, waiting to be served. I had my talk with Gordon earlier. It went okay, and we have sorted things out the best we can, but it will never be the way it used to be. The trust and bond are lost we once had.“Hi.” I hear from next to me. I knew exactly who it was. Lena.I sigh and turn to face her, “Hey.” I reply casually.“Can we talk, please?” she asks softly.“Yeah, what do you want to talk about?” I didn’t want to talk to her, but I was curious about what she had to say.“Not here, somewhere a little more private.” She pleads.“No. We talk here or not at all.” I make sure I am firm because I am not going anywhere alone with her.I refuse to upset Arya because I would if she saw me disappear somewhere with only Lena. Lena didn’t look too happy with my suggestion, but she nodded. She steps in a little closer.“I am sorry for what I did. I made a huge mistake, Kyson. I know it has been
An Unexpected Summer Chapter Twenty-Seven - The thought terrifies me
Kyson I pull up outside Arya’s cabin. It is two o’clock in the morning. Our time away hasn’t been so bad. It had been good spending time with family. Not only that but to get some closure too.Arya had fallen asleep. She drove first, and then it was my turn. She crashed out an hour ago. I won’t wake her up. I park the car, grab our things first and put them into the cabin. I head back out, going around to the passenger’s side and opening the door. I undo her seatbelt and scoop her into my arms. Arya groans but doesn’t wake up and snuggles into my chest.I use my foot to close the door, locking it with the key and carry her inside, straight to her bedroom. I lay her down on the bed, slipping her shoes off. She is already in sweatpants and a tee, so she can sleep in them. I bring the covers over her and sit next to her on the side of the bed.I smile, pushing the hair away from her face, “Sweet dreams, my love.” I whisper, kissing her forehead.I took a moment to admire her. The light
An Unexpected Summer Chapter Twenty-Eight - The last person I want to see
Arya I am sitting out on the front patio, writing. Kyson is away into town to stock us up for the week. I offered to go with him, but he insisted I stay. I did have writing to catch up on since we were away for a few days. My editor is expecting more chapters tomorrow.It is a lovely day, perfect for sitting outside. I had my iced tea and snacks. I would finish my book soon because I didn’t have much left to write. I will miss this place when I leave in a couple of weeks. I have no idea what Kyson and I are going to do once we leave. I am sure we can work it out.Kyson would be away for a few hours, so I plan on making the most of it. I take a sip from my glass before getting back to typing. It doesn’t take long for me to become lost in it. My fingers are flying across the keys. I love when I get into this mode.I only stop when I hear a car pull up. Surely Kyson can’t be back already? Unless he has forgotten something. I glance up, but I don’t recognise the vehicle. I haven’t seen i
An Unexpected Summer Chapter Twenty-Nine - I want to tell her
Kyson I am trying my best to stay calm on the way back. I am so fucking angry. How dare Lena show up to the cabin? She has no right. I made it clear I wanted nothing to do with her.I arrive at the cabins and spot Lena sitting in her. Arya was nowhere in sight. She must have headed inside. I pull in behind Lena’s car and jump out. I head towards the driver’s window and chap it. When Lena realises it is me, the biggest smile appears on her lips. What the hell is she smiling about? Does she honestly think I would be happy to see her?I step back to let her come out of the car. The second she does, she comes towards me.“Finally, you are home.” She gushes.She tries to close the space between us and kiss me. I quickly put my hand up and put a distance between us.“Back off, Lena. Why are you here?” I ask through gritted teeth.“To see you, silly. I was hoping we could talk since I am single now. Maybe try again?” she replies sweetly.Is this woman high?“No, we can’t talk. I am not inte
An Unexpected Summer Chapter Thirty - Making a plan
Arya We only have a week left of being at the cabin before we need to go back to our real lives. My book is nearly done! Which is amazing! It usually takes me longer to write, but I think this one was easier because of the experiences I’ve had this summer.I didn’t want to leave, but I didn’t have a choice. I would rather stay here with Kyson. Thankfully his psycho ex has stayed away. Apparently, she is engaged now to some guy she met a couple of weeks ago, so Kyson’s mom told us. As long as she stays away, I don’t care what she does with her life.Kyson is still sound asleep. I woke early to do some edits of my book and make us breakfast. We still haven’t discussed what our plan is when we leave here, but we need to. I want to do it today. We need a good place if we want this to work. I have never done the long-distance thing before, so I don’t know how we will cope with it. I know it works for some couples, but for others, it doesn’t.It takes over six hours from Oregon to New York
An Unexpected Summer Chapter Thirty-One - It feels right
Kyson I am back in New York at my apartment and have been for the last few days. I hated being apart from Arya. I have been miserable since returning because she wasn’t with me. I only have a couple more days left before she joins me here, and we can get things sorted for the move.I know we are moving fast. It has only been two months since we met again, even less time since we officially became a couple. It might seem crazy to some people, but for us, it feels right. That is all that matters. I won’t lie; the entire thing is freaking me out. I have never done well with change. I love Arya more than I have ever loved anyone, and because of that, I know everything will be okay, but I believe it to be natural to be scared.I honestly never thought I would fall in love with anyone again. I planned on staying single and screwing around, but Arya changed everything for me. One of the million reasons why I know she is the one for me. I don’t want anyone else, and if I ever lost her, then I
