It Was Always You Chapter Thirty-Seven
JackSeeing Remi’s face was worth this week-long secret and trying to be distant. It was actually tough for me. Briar was a mess; she has never traveled, the flight here was a nightmare, the hotel stay was a nightmare, and lying to Remi was a nightmare.“What are you doing here?”“I wanted to surprise you.”“It's definitely a surprise. Was Tyson just helping you out?”“Ty and Grace are watching Briar. They volunteered to help when I told Tyson what I was planning.”“So, you don't regret this?”I took a step toward her and cupped her face.“The only thing I regret is not coming after you sooner.”I leaned in a kissed her lips. I'm not lying to her. The biggest regret in my life was not chasing after her when she left the first time. I wasn't going to make the same mistake again.Remi broke the kiss and invited me into her apartment.“How long are you here for.”“Awhile.” She gave me a confused look, and I couldn't help but smile at her.“What about Briar?”“She’ll be fine;

He said Tyson wanted him to check something out for the business while he was here, and today was the only appointment he could get.Jack having to run errands on the weekend while visiting kind of annoys me, so I let Tyson know, and I send him a text.Me: Why are you so mean?Tyson: What?Me: You're making Jack work while he's here.Tyson: Oh...you’ll get over it as soon as he gets back.It's like Tyson had special powers because as soon as I received that text, Jack opened the front. He came over and kissed my head before sitting next to me.“How was your errand?”“It was good; the deal is still not finalized, but it might be later today. Do you want to go out tonight?”“If you want to go out, then we can go out.”“Good, I have a surprise for you. Go get dressed.”“I thought you said tonight.”“I did, but I have other things planned.”***Jack had the whole afternoon and evening planned. He assured me i

One year later Emi This has been the best year of my life. Jack and Briar have been by my side since Jack relocated to be with me. We visit our family often. It's actually where we are right now. It's nice being around family and talking to Jack about moving back; Andrew can find another assistant. He even promised me that he wouldn't be upset if I left because he understood being around family. Andrew, even though he is my boss, has become one of my best friends. We are visiting our family right now. Tyson and Grace just had their first child, a little girl they named Annalise, and right now, we are having a family dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Jack stood up and started speaking, which took me by surprise. “I’m not good at these speeches, but I wanted to say how thankful I am for everyone at this table. You all have supported me, helped me, and at one point, hated me.” He looked at my father while everyone laughed. “But in all seriousness, you guys have been here fo

Author’s POV 20 years ago “Mom, who is that next door?” Jack asked his mother. He was watching through the living room window. He saw a girl hopping around outside while grownups carried items into the house. “Those are our new neighbors, sweetie, and it looks like they have a little girl your age.” Jack looked back outside, trying to figure out it would be ok to say hi to her. “Can I go play with her?” “You should ask her?” Jack’s mom guided him to the front door and gave him a little push, hoping to encourage him. Jack was the quiet one out of her two children, and she was always worried about him being outshined by Tyson. Tyson was never afraid to do things or to make friends. Jack was quiet and got angry easily when he felt overwhelmed. He didn’t do well with being social and he would rather be in his room reading or playing a game alone, so it made her smile to see him willingly approach another child. Jack slowly approached the little girl and stared at her. The girl loo
It Was Always You Chapter Two
Emi It’s been almost ten years since I’ve lived in this town permanently. I moved back to spend time with my father, and the local high school I graduated from had a teaching position open in my field, so I applied and came back home. Today is my first day on the job, and it is teacher in-service. It’s a day of getting to know each other and getting updates about the upcoming year. It’s my least favorite day of the year especially when I'm new. “Now on to my favorite part of all this, introducing new staff.” Ms. Smith is the school principal, and while she seems better than the one, I had when I was here, she is still a little too optimistic for me. “When I call your name, come up here and tell us your full name, where you grew up, and where you just came from.” Unfortunately, she went in alphabetical order, which gave me the number two spot for introducing myself. “Hi, everyone. As you already know, my name is...” As I was looking through the teaching staff, my eyes caught the o

JackRemington Bay is back in town. I thought I had moved on with my life; I thought she had moved on and was living life back east. Watching her introduce herself made me realize I missed her and watching Micah flirt with her at lunch made me angry. I didn't want her to know I was engaged; I didn't want her to feel like I was taken, even though I am, which is pretty shitty of me, I know, but I want there to be a chance that we could be together. I had promised Lauren a coffee and donuts when I came home, and I wasn't expecting to see Remi sitting there in the cafe with my brother and some random guy. I always hated that she preferred Tyson over me. I still hate how close they are. When I first saw her when we were six years old, I was smitten for the lack of a better word. I’ve always had a pull toward her and I’ve always wanted to be with her. As we got old my anger towards her relationship with my brother got unbearable and snapped at her a lot. “Hey man, come join us,” Tyson s

Emi “This is a cute place, Emi.” “Thanks. Dad kept telling me it was too small.” “Nope, it's just right for you.” Alyssa has always understood me; she never tries to talk me out of something, which could either be good or bad. I bought many things that I didn’t need because she encouraged me. “So, you and Jake?” “Yup, it just started, so don't ask me what's going on because I don't know.” It didn't surprise me when I found out Alyssa and Jake were dating, they always got along, and we're always flirting. They both thought I would have an issue with it because of the history that Jake and I have, but I really couldn’t care less. If they’re happy, I’m good. “Knock, knock; we have food and beer.” “It's about time I'm starving, and it's Chinese! You're the best, Tyson.” Alyssa didn't wait for anyone before she started digging in; I always loved how comfortable she was with herself and didn't care about gaining or losing weight. “How does it feel to be back?” Tyson ask
It Was Always You Chapter Five
Jack When we got into the teacher's lounge, I had Remi sit on the couch while I got a zip lock bag and filled it with ice. I walked back over to Remi and bent down, so I was level with her face, and I can’t remember the last time we were this close. I looked her in the eyes and realized that all I had to do was slightly lean in and my lips would be on hers. Would she let me kiss her? I shouldn’t be thinking about kissing her, I’m in a relationship and it’s wrong to think about another woman like this. “He got you good; you'll probably have a black eye. How are you feeling?” “My head hurts, and my stomach is upset.” “I think that's just from the shock; I don't think he hit you hard enough to give you a concussion, but if you start to feel worse, let me know.” I placed the ice on her eye, and she winced. “I’m sorry. It'll probably be sore for a few days.” “Thanks.” “I also want to say I'm sorry for snapping at you during lunch...Things aren't going too well with Laur
