Back And Better Than Ever Novels & Stories

Something better. Together.

Seems things can only get better! ------------

“And it only gets better from here on out.” ***

I beamed. "Best birthday ever."

"What are you doing?" Shuffling, "What? Me?" Charlie narrows her eyes, a thought pops into her head, "Deedah! Are you having sex?!" This time, her best-friend laughs loudly, "No, *Poo-poo bear*. This fart bag was tickling me before you called. That monster..." She mutters at the end. "Oh? Zeus is back from Egypt? When did he get back?" "Dude just got back yesterday and he's trying to get into my pants," She hears the traces of an eye roll in her tone.

BACK TO PRESENT That was how she left me, because I was a poor miserable man who wouldn't be able to take care of her. And now I'm back, not as a miserable Luca but as someone who could force her to her knees with just a word.

"Get back to work!" Wow, he's back to his usual self... ****

I answered, rubbing both palms and grinning evilly. "What is it now?" She stared intensely at me and opened her mouth to talk. "Plus you're happier than I expected you to be." Why wouldn't I be happy when I found the key to my happiness? "A rebound." I beamed, wriggling my eye brows. "Rebound?" She bit out of her apple and blinked rapidly at me. "You mean like a bounce back?" "A rebound you fool." I face palmed then placed both my palms on her shoulders and shook her.

No one has ever treated me this well. “You can wear something else if you don't like—” “How could I not like this? It's my favourite robe.” I beamed with smiles, then sniffed it. “It smells nice too. I love it. Your grandpa has such an awesome taste…” “He must've been a sweet lover boy when he was younger.” I added. “Yes. He was.” He rolled his eyes as he chuckled softly. “I need to attend to something. I'll be back.” He paused as he reached the door, looking back at me over his shoulder. “Call me if you need anything.”

Ready to start over. Ready to become strong enough to never need rescuing again.
