The Creature Inside Me 25
(Willow's POV) I was determined to show him, if not tell him exactly how I felt about him. If you need anything from someone like Jordan, you don't ask but take it. And that's exactly what I was doing. What I felt for him was overwhelming but exciting. I didn't know how or when it happened but now I know and I've fully accepted. He needed to know what I feel for him and I'm very sure he has an idea. I didn't know where I got the audacity to make the move but I did and I don't regret it at all. His lips melted in mine and for a second, I was afraid because I waited for him to push me away but instead, he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. The heat radiating from him only encouraged me to go on. All I wanted was to feel his naked body on mine. He took his lips away from mine and placed it on my burning neck trailing quick hickeys along my neck, shoulders and jaw. Claiming my lips again, he lifted me into his arms and slowly placed me on the grass. I found his buttons and

Japh walked into a boutique and looked around. He was determined to make Iris talk to him. It was clear that she was avoiding him. "How can I help you sir?" A lady walked up to him. "Iris. Is she around?" He asked. "Yes. She is in the store room. Her shift just ended" The lady smiled. "Thank you so much" He smiled back and headed in the direction of the store room. "Sir? You can't go in there" The lady followed him. "I won't take long. Please let me in" He pleaded. She looked around and leaned in towards him. "Just don't take long. My boss will soon be here" Japh gave her a grateful smile and walked away. He slowly pushed the door open and peeped. Iris was putting some things in her bag. He quietly walked to her and hugged her from behind which made her jump out of fright. "Hey, it's just me sweetie" He kissed her neck. "I wanted to surprise you" He kissed her shoulder. "You could have called or dropped by the house" She picked her purse but he didn't let her go. "So

Some things are worth fighting for and sometimes, you need to put that extra effort in order to get what you want.Vulnerability.Sometimes, you just need to be prone to rejection. Open up yourself with no defenses even when you have a lot to lose.It represents strength.But also weakness. To those who have built defenses because they are too afraid to get hurt. The 'tough' ones.But then, what is the use of these defenses when *"You love me but that's not enough for me" He said. "No Iris, I won't even lie to you. It's not enough for me" Japh briefly looked at the sky. "I want to wake up and have you by my side. Corny, but that's just how I feel. I don't want to feel like I'm gonna lose you at anytime" He brought out the velvet ring box.Iris gasped and her hand slowly covered her mouth as more tears dropped."I want to call you mine with no doubt. I want to pick you up from work and listen to everything you have to say about your day. I want you to hug me when I claim to be busy

Two years later. "C'mon guys! Just one more shot!" Iris raised a shot glass. The bar was hardly full but the noise from their table was loud enough to make the bar lively. "And to think some of us have children" Willow poured more shots for her friends. "I know you're not talking about me" Iris gulped down her shot and asked for more. "You are drinking too much Iris" Rowan took the bottle away from her. "Do you think having kids is a piece of cake? Try it once" She stole Willow's shot. "What will they think when you come back home drunk?" Willow asked. "They won't think anything because they won't see anything. Japh promised to look after them" She hiccupped."But he decided to join us" "Star volunteered to babysit them" Japh defensively said. "That's because you begged her to watch your kids," Willow said. "She wanted to come out with us today" "She loves children besides, she didn't complain" Japh shrugged. "Can you get me sex in the city?" Iris whispered into her husband

There were no decorations or fireplace. It looked bland and boring. The outside looked more conspicuous. Willow tried not to focus on the neatly made bed. The coffee sheets matched with the whole cabin and it looked tempting. "So you live here?" She finally turned to him. He gave her a short nod and picked up the grocery bags. "Can I help?" She dared to ask because he didn't look angry or probably because he didn't throw her out immediately. "Can you cook?" He opened one of the doors that led to the small kitchen. "Wow!" She peeped. "No. I can't cook" She replied. "You can't do anything" "I can wash the vegetables, chop them or even wash the plate…" He pushed her out and slammed the door. "You should leave," He said. "But…" "But nothing" He cut her short. "And don't come back here again" She quietly looked at him. "What?" He asked. "Is that all you got? Won't you call me names and warn me to stay away from you? I'm waiting for the hurtful words" She said to him. "Argu

The angelic chirping of birds harmonized with the sound of the waterfall in a beautiful melody. Willow rolled to her back and stretched out her hand to feel the other side of the bed but it was empty and cold. The duvet hardly covered her breasts and her hair was a mess. Her fingers touched something leafy and when she grabbed it, it felt like a flower. Her biggest fear came true when she realized that he wasn't with her. Willow woke up with a start but Jordan was looking down at her. His eyes were calm and his lips slightly bent upwards. He was shirtless and his wet hair covered his forehead probably because he just showered. She quickly flew into his arms. "You're here" She tightly hugged him. "Mhm" He caressed her bare back and placed a light kiss on her shoulder. "Please don't leave me" She wrapped her hands around his neck. His heartbeat was steady and his body was warm. She slowly drew away from him. "Please tell me I'm not dreaming" Jordan claimed her lips. "How's

"Leviathan" Genzzi slowly turned around. He was tall and buffed. He had black hair and eyes with full lips. An army of men stood behind him. "How did you…" "After years of failure, I was finally able to get in" He smirked. "What do you want?" Genzzi asked. "What are you doing in Woodville?" "We both know the answer to that Genzzi" He scoffed and walked closer. "Listen, we can go and talk about it. Let's go somewhere else and I'll…" "Are you alone?" Leviathan cut him short and briefly sniffed the air. "Yes. I'm alone" Genzzi replied. "We should get out from here and I'll give you whatever you want" "Just like the father that you are, you are also a pathetic liar" Leviathan smiled as he watch two of his men drag Jordan out of the cabin. "Why do you always lie to me?" "Leviathan…" "Shut up!" He shouted. "Let go of me!" Jordan struggled with the men but they were too strong for him. "Don't worry, Joe. You will be fine" Genzzi assured him. "He is really a feisty one" Leviathan
