Whispers of the Heart Diner Loyalty
As soon as we walked in at the diner, Owen joined Bethany and Kyle at the booth they were sitting in while I made Nate comfortable. We had a booth tucked in the corner, next to the bar that was usually used for staff breaks or, most often, diner employee kids waiting around for a parent to get off work or another to pick them up. I settled Nate here with his tablet and made him an Orange Fizz. I put our order in with John and after finding out that Bethany and Kyle had already ordered, I found out what Owen wanted and added that to my order, too.Barb had not only seen me but she had raised eyebrows as she glanced over me, her gaze stopping at a couple of spots that I still needed to take a look at myself. I quickly took my drink with Owen’s to our table and told them all that I would be right back. I gave Owen a small smile that he returned with a reassuring nod and walked around the corner, out of site and bee-lined toward the restroom.As I attempted to shut the door, a foot sudden

Barb and Darcy gave me a couple minutes to compose myself, just to make sure I was okay to come out. Outwardly, unless specifically looking, you couldn’t even really tell that I had been in any sort of altercation at all. Mentally, I didn’t even have an answer as to my state of mind or stability at this point. I was numb and maybe more than a little in denial, if I were to completely be honest about it.When I came out, I avoided eye contact with the booth my boyfriend and classmates were sitting at until I had first checked on Nate again. He was coloring on a placemat, happy as he could be. Our food was in the pass, waiting so I took his burger and fries to him first with a promise that I was just a couple tables away if he needed me. He dove in to the burger with gusto, completely in his element here in the diner.I doubled back and grabbed the plates for Owen and myself and took them to the table, sitting his down in front of him before sliding in beside him and centering mine in f

Even after I asked, he looked out the window as he took a drink of his own soda. He sat there watching the traffic like he didn’t have a care in the world but I could see the turmoil behind his eyes. He had questions and he wanted answers but wasn’t sure how to ask.Finally, he sighed as he looked over at me. “You know, my sister’s old man gets in a mood from time to time. Nicest guy you will ever meet unless he’s in one. Then, he turns into this totally different person. Never would have ever believed it, even if she told me until I saw it with my own two eyes. I guess that’s one of the reasons she hid it from us for so long. The drink is what does it. It’s poison to him. One drink and he changes into this monster, this stranger that is out here walking among us like a normal, every day guy.”“What are you saying, Kyle?”“I think you know what I’m saying, Aurora. I just hope it ain’t pretty boy there that’s causing that look you had when you walked in tonight. I know that look cause

“As much as I have appreciated our talk, Kyle, I need to get to work.”“Yeah, I need to get out of here, too. Stop by and check on my sister before I head home for the night.”“I take it the two of you are really close.”“Yeah. She helped Mom raise me so she’s been like my second mom. She’s eight years older than me.”“So you completely understand the relationship I have with Nate, then?”“Probably more than anyone else around here could, actually. Her and Mom made sacrifices for me all the time so as soon as I was old enough, I made sure they were looked after and taken care of. I still do.”“You’re a good guy, Kyle.”“Shut that down right now. You’ll ruin my reputation.” He answered with a grin. “I have to stay the bad boy to get all the honey.”“Ugh, forget I ever said anything.”“That’s more like it. Here. Cash me out and I’ll get out of your hair.”I took his money and rang up his tab, giving back his change. He left a good tip for Darcy and left with a nod. It had been like this

Owen texted me at seven forty-seven to let me know that practice was over and he was heading back to pick us up. After Barb and I had talked with things settled as to where I was going and what our plan was for the next few days, I had hugged her again and even walked into the kitchen and made John surrender and give me a hug, too. He just responded with his normal grunt but he did have a twinkle in his eye and squeezed me back during the hug. I had kept myself busy making sure everything was prepped for the next day. Now, I let Barb know that Owen was on his way. Nate handed me his tablet as I stretched out my hand for it. I turned it off and laid it on the table.“Are we not going home, Rory?” He asked me with a tilt of his head.“Not tonight, buddy. Your daddy is still not feeling good so we need to let him rest.”“But who’s gonna take care of Daddy while he is sick?”“I made sure he was okay before I left.” The lie tasted so bitter on my tongue. “He just needs to get a good night

The moment the gates opened and Owen drove us through, I felt like I had crossed over into another dimension. The paving on the road was immaculate, not a pothole in sight. The grass seemed brighter, lusher. Owen clicked the button to roll the windows down so that we could see better instead of attempting to look through the dark tint.Even the air smelled better here, though I had to be imagining that. But it seemed crisper, cleaner with maybe just a hint of sweetness to it that I had never experienced before. The landscaping was impeccable, not a blade of grass out of place or uneven and every flower properly mulched.Owen pulled forward to an intersection and turned right. He was rolling along without tapping the gas, just letting Nate and I both take in the scenery around us.“The road just makes one big long rectangle perimeter with just two entrance gates.” He explained as we inched along. He pointed to the first road that we came to on the right. “Each little side road has just

“Owen, how do you not get lost in a house this big?”“I guess I have just gotten used to it but I know, it’s a bit much. This is the biggest estate in the community. It belonged to my dad’s parents so this is actually where my dad grew up. After my grandparents passed away, he didn’t want to sell it so we just moved here. He has already asked me if I will keep it in the family and not sell it. I promised him that I wouldn’t. So, I guess I will be raising my family here one day, too.”I suddenly felt like a gold digger, having had thoughts just moments ago about it now being my dream to live in Urban Crest. I tried to shake those thoughts, that connection out of my head. Owen living here and my dreams to better myself were two totally different things. Weren’t they? Why did I always associate something good with it somehow not being something that I deserved? I wanted to love Owen for himself and not for what he owned or how much money was in his bank account. I knew I wasn’t that kind

I shook the thoughts from my head concerning the epiphany I had just had regarding my deceased mother and my previously assumed routine trips to the community pool. Just another fragment of my innocence lost as I transition to adulthood and another reminder of my shattered youth. I would have to keep the lid tightly closed on that box or I might end up needing therapy before I can even graduate high school. I probably do anyhow but who can afford it. At the end of the walkway, Owen moved around us and opened the door ahead. We entered into a larger hallway that dripped a refined sense of elegance and sophistication. The floors and walls were all of a highly polished black walnut, including the intricate carved crown molding along the trim of the floor and ceiling. Each piece of art or decoration was there with purpose, as a statement of extravagance and prodigality.“This is what is called the East Wing. This is where my bedroom and a couple of the guest bedrooms are. My parents have

Whispers of the Heart Every Kid's Dream
“WOW!” was all I heard from Nate before he tore into the room with a giggle. Owen reached for me and pulled me to him, giving me a very sound kiss that completely distracted me from even looking and seeing what had Nate so excited about.Once Owen released me and I turned my attention back to the room itself, I was just as excited and elated as Nate was. The entire space was like any arcade or play place one would ever visit as a child on those very rare special occasions. The space of the entire room couldn’t have been any less than a thousand square feet. Wooden support beams were scattered throughout the space like typical reinforcements in a basement and it had the panel block ceilings like you would see in office buildings and hospitals with the big rectangle panel light panes. The walls were all painted a deep charcoal gray with light gray plush carpeting in part of the area and just solid concrete painted the same color in the other half.The carpeted area was more narrow but t
Whispers of the Heart Dinner and a Tour
Owen was right that Nate and I would both love the hibachi. From the experience to the food, everything was wonderful. Nate was completely infatuated and amazed by the entire experience and was telling me all about how he wanted to learn how to do that when he got bigger so Owen may have just helped create a monster because I now know where Nate will want to eat anytime I ask.Owen, being the gentleman, wouldn’t let me pay a dime on the meal, not even the tip. I had wanted to go by Phil’s house for more clothes and Owen was fine with it so he stopped there first.I explained to Nate on the way where his dad was and that his dad had told me this morning the reason he was so sick yesterday. Never having had a grandparent, Nate really didn’t even realize what that was or what he was really missing in his life by not having one, either. So, understandably, he wasn’t upset to find out that his grandmother had passed away because she was a stranger to him.He didn’t ask why we weren’t stayi
Whispers of the Heart Dinner Plans
I left the office feeling really good about my talk with Sherry. I was so happy that I was able to improve her mood and help her to understand the current situation with Phil. I would definitely try my best to do what I could whenever Phil came back to push him toward her because he definitely needed to understand that he had burned all his other bridges and he’d better appreciation someone like her. If he liked her enough to sleep with her, regardless of his dumbass reasons, he needed to give her a chance to make him happy.I watched Owen’s face light up from over top of Vanessa’s head whenever I walked through the door of the Photography classroom. She turned at the same time that Courtney and Bethany gave me a wave.“I knew it had to be you or at least it had better be you,” Vanessa teased. “If he was suddenly looking at me like that, Danny was gonna kick his ass and if he was looking at any other girl like that, I was gonna be the one to do it! But I knew only one woman could make
Whispers of the Heart Talk with Sherry
“What did you need to talk to me about, Aurora?”“I had wanted to ask about how things were going with you and Phil but seeing how sad you look, I am now more worried about you and making sure you are okay.”She sighed. “I am, I guess. This is actually about him. I thought we hit if off and were gonna start talking, start dating even but he has completely ghosted me, Aurora. Now, I am left feeling like this cheap, one night stand.” She covered her face with her hands. “Plus, I am a professional here, an adult and I should not even be discussing things like this with you.”“Hey, I asked.” I assured her. “I only asked because I care and I wanted to know how things were going. I never imagined he hadn’t reached back out to you yet but now that I think about everything that is going on, I just realized that I have been so caught up in my own little world with Owen that you probably have no idea of anything going on.”“What do you mean? What is going on? I don’t know anything except I was
Whispers of the Heart Couple Adjustment
Getting Nate out of bed and dressed was easy as he was super excited as soon as he woke and realized we were still at Owen’s house. As I was getting him dressed, he asked me if Owen was my boyfriend and I was glad that he did since I was thinking of how to bring it up myself. I answered him honestly and told him that, yes, Owen was my boyfriend and I asked him how he felt about that.He said he liked it. That he liked Owen and he liked seeing me look happy. He, then, went on to tell me that he hoped Owen and I got married and have seven kids. Of course, while he said this Owen walked up to the open door and heard it but he seemed pleased with Nate’s plans for us. Regardless, both of them could forget about seven kids. It wasn’t going to happen!We dropped Nate off at school with my promise of picking him back up this afternoon and reminding him to give Miss Kelly or Miss Lyndsey his note about being a car rider this afternoon. When we parked at the high school, we still had fifteen mi
Whispers of the Heart Sweet Addiction
The first kiss left me in awe. The second took my breathe away and touched my soul. The third and all beyond that had me addicted. Addicted to this man, his touch, his kiss, his lips, his tongue. Dear Lord, the way he could kiss me left me just dizzy with desire, craving something more. More of him, more of his touch, more of everything.After the second kiss, he had pulled me onto his lap to straddle him and although I knew nothing of what I was doing, my body seemed to. Natural instinct kicked in as the primal urges and desires I felt took over my body, moving my hips in ways that felt good, felt right, felt necessary.Owens hands had started on my face, working their way down my body to my hips and then under my shirt. He first gripped the bare skin of my hips but as my hips started moving, so did his hands until he was running his thumbs over the outside lining of my bra, causing an explosion of electricity as he brushed the hardened buds rubbing against the soft cotton of the und
Whispers of the Heart Morning Confessions
I opened the door and walked out, leaving it partially open again. I rapped lightly on Owen’s door as I skipped up to it and waited just a few seconds before opening it slightly. He answered for me to come on in, so I did.He was sitting at the L-shaped desk already dressed in t-shirt and jeans and it looked like he had been working on homework. He turned to look as I walked in and he quickly stood up, walking toward me to greet me in his bare feet.“You look amazing this morning, Aurora.” He said as his eyes raked up and down my body, his gaze lingering hungrily on my long legs in these black shorts. “Damn!” He said with an appreciative sigh.“You like my outfit, then?”“Yes, very much. I never imagined someone could look so casual and comfortable and still so sexy and mouthwatering at the same time but you have managed to pull it off.”“Thank you, I think.”He gave me that devilish smirk that heated my cheeks as well as sent a flush through the rest of my body. “Trust me, it was a c
Whispers of the Heart Make the Best of It
I glanced at the time on my cell phone again. It was now four in the morning and I had a choice to make. Lay back down for the next two hours and toss and turn where my mind was now on overdrive or make the best of the extra time I now had. It would be hard to pass the time unless I kept myself busy. Right now, I wanted nothing more than to wake Owen up and tell him everything that had been said in that conversation but I wasn’t about to risk both of us being dead tired tonight when Nate was barreling full steam ahead.I was thinking about what I could do to pass the time when I realized with everything that had happened last night, I hadn’t even touched my homework and I had assignments to complete in almost every class. So much for free time but I could at least be thankful that I now had time to get it all finished so I was not showing up to class unprepared.But before I started that, I wanted to get my shower and soak up the heat and steam. This morning, I needed the shower to wa
Whispers of the Heart Phone Cohones
My phone blared in the dead of the night, causing me to scramble from the bed as I hurried to answer it quickly so as not to wake Nate. Owen was no longer in the bed, having went back to his room as soon as I fell asleep, I would assume. Grabbing it up, I hit silence giving a brief glimpse back at the bed to make sure Nate hadn’t woken up as I rushed into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. Even before I looked at the display, I already knew who this was and what conversation was getting ready to happen. I just needed confirmation of the time it was occurring. Three forty-six in the morning. It took him that long to wake up and come around enough to miss us in the house.“Hello.” I hissed in a loud whisper as I hit the accept call button and brought the phone to my ear.“Aurora! Where the hell are you and where is my son?” His voice was strained so I knew he was angry but that it was causing him too much pain if he tried to raise his voice or get himself too worked up. That coul
