Caught Up In Between Novels & Stories

However, an incoming message appeared a few seconds later. [I'm already in front...]

A voice echos infrastructure of me. Oh no, we've been caught.​

like believe him. Or smile. Or cry. I needed to get out of here. I took a step, but I misjudged the angle. And just like before, I tripped. This time, I was sure I was going down, face-first. But in the blink of an eye, he was there. And once again, he caught me.

I rushed toward him, but he lifted the phone high above his head like it was a game. “Bennett, this isn’t funny!” He only chuckled, enjoying my frustration. He was taller and stronger making it hard for me to reach him. The phone dangled just out of my reach. I pressed against him, stretching on my toes, my fingertips were already brushing the edge of the device. When he lowered himself slightly, teasing me with the closeness, and then….. I tripped. My foot tangled against his leg, and the next thing I knew was I stumbled forward. He moved instinctively to catch me, but the movement dragged us both down. With a soft thud, I landed on top of him, For a suspended heartbeat, everything stilled.

What happened? ***********

It was time to take the high road and mend things between them. Andrea was prepared for a long and arduous journey, but she knew that it was worth it. She was ready to work through the pain, the tears, and the conflicts to rebuild their relationship. Every interaction with Lucas since their last big argument had been fraught with tension and bitterness. There were moments when even the thought of being in the same room with him felt suffocating. But Andrea was determined to overcome this barrier and find peace within her heart - even if it meant humbling herself to heal their wounded relationship.

My stomach ached again causing me to lean heavily on the door, this time it was so much as if it was stabbing my insides. Blood rushed through my legs. Not again .. Not my babies .. Even before I fell to the floor, Andrei caught me. I do not know what happened next because darkness has eaten me all the time. My babies..

I looked back at the second phone. At the gap. At the messages around it. Then— I noticed something else. Not in the words. In the timing. Before the gap. Messages came instantly. After the gap. There was a slight delay. Not much. But enough. Like something had changed. Or slowed. “Not a break…” I whispered. “A disruption.” My fingers moved quickly now, scrolling up and down. Comparing. Checking. Confirming. It was real. The system lost control for a moment.

That marriage of convenience thing did not go well with him. "Okay, she was drunk yesterday when we got out of the club. You know she was angry at..." "Get to the point dude I don't have all day" Lewis interrupted out of curiosity. Used to getting everything with a snap of a finger, Tom was not making it easy for him by withholding the important part. Her secret. "Okay she tried to kiss me...she actually kissed me when I carried her to their room" Okay. What was he thinking? "What? And you just stood there?" Lewis blew up throwing away the fishing rod and their basket full of fish most of which it was Tom who captured, reminds me of capture recapture method of whatever it was in biology.

He clearly said we had no time to make conversation and here I can't seem to stop asking unnecessary questions. "This is not the right time. Let go, I'll explain everything on the way," I tried to get up but immediately collapsed. I couldn't even stand on my own. James let out a sigh of frustration before crouching down and scooping me in his arms. My hands circled around his neck on their own to keep me from falling. *************
