Marley And Me Novels & Stories

Marley typed away on his laptop. Zaphrina's eyes glistened with sorrow thinking back to her son's profile after mentioning the reason for their visit. He must have felt like an outcast. Bethany was right after all. "Honey," Marley pulled out his glasses, set aside his laptop, and deserted the bed after realizing his wife's withdrawal. "Come now, you need to rest, relax, and not think too much." He gently massaged her shoulders whilst occasionally dropping kisses on the back of her neck and head.

Pieces of herself she was learning how to hold again. The rest she left behind, folded neatly into drawers and corners of silence. She’d shed enough versions of herself to know: not everything deserves to be carried into the next chapter. Some things are meant to stay as proof of where you’ve been, not as baggage for where you’re going. Marley lived in a small two-bedroom apartment above a bakery that always smelled like cinnamon and hope. The scent hit Raegan the second she climbed the narrow staircase: warm sugar and bread and something almost childlike. It felt like comfort without the conditions.

Immediately the man exited his car, he did same a second or two later. Inspired by A great big world ft Christina Aguilera-- Say something. Marley wandered from one building to another questioning any staff he set eyes on. Thankfully, he was directed to the maternity where he kept inquiring on the whereabouts of a certain Zaphrina Agume, unfortunately, they shook their heads. Marley cursed and raked his wet hair pulling a set of eyes towards him. "Marley?" A skinny girl in leggings and a hoodie called. She had long braids falling on both sides of her shoulders. "You Marley?"

"Remember what I told you? If you tell me to stop doing something, I'll stop. No arguments, no complaints. There's no reason our safe word can't work outside of the bedroom too." Rayan waited a little before responding, watching the trees and power lines fly by. "...Thanks." -------------------- By the time the ocean was in view, Rayan was in much better spirits. They'd crested a hill, and the entirety of the seaside town came into view, causing him to gasp loudly in delight. "Ohmygosh! The ocean is HUGE!" Scott grinned as he glanced over at his fiance. This was going to be a fun trip.

The wolf has me pinned and the only thing keeping him from taking a chunk out of my face are my hands holding his snout, but he is too strong. Just as I’m about to give up, Malachi’s brown wolf tackles him off me. They spar on the ground, ferociously sinking their teeth into each other, but I don’t have time to focus on the fighting. I run for Marley and try to pull her up from the ground to get her out of here, but she is still in so much shock that I must force her to move. “Marley, we have to go now!” I shout, grabbing her hand and finally she snaps out of it and pushes the kids to run for an entrance to the packhouse.

“If you don’t have any questions right now, I think Dylan should escort you to your new house and your family.” Marley was still in a haze. She hadn’t felt this protected or cared for in years. She almost broke down and cried, but that would come later. “Thank you,” she whispered. A moment later Dylan was walking hand in hand with her from the packhouse and down the dirt road towards her new home.

But Marley was already killing himself with a hysterical peal of laughter. "My respect," He mockingly bowed. "There's more Sundays to come," she whined, reminding him of his turns yet to come. "Zaph's fully on her feet again." Marley wiped a stray tear before sitting, "I know. But I hope you did the most difficult part." Louisa side-eyed him. "You're tripping, brother. Beth's barely eleven weeks. There's a long journey of diaper change in the middle of service left for you." Marley's face turned serious, his stare distant, very focused. "Lou?"

He smirked a bit secretly before glancing at his watch, Jonathan had an important meeting with an old friend. “Sorry Mrs and Mr. Brown I got somewhere to bed but it was nice meeting you both. Miss Marley see you at work tomorrow” said Jonathan turning and going to his car and leaving “That boy was charming and nice, I think he likes you, Marley, the way he was eyeing you says it all,” said Martha with a big smile and looking at her daughter Marley blushed and just walked inside with her head down, both parents laughed at their daughter and followed shortly after.

Marley freezed. She snatched her hand away from the book and whipped her head around. A lady in a helper's uniform stared at her with a questioning gaze. “Urhhh… I was looking for the restroom but got lost.” Marley lied. “This is not a restroom.” “Yeah right, how stupid of me.” Marley laughed awkwardly. “Come with me, I'll show you the restroom.” “Ohh that's so kind of you.” Marley spared the strange book one last fleeting glance before following the help out.

kind of burn. Because Kaelen is dragging me through the forest like I’m emergency luggage, and the only reason I’m not screaming is because I need the air to stay alive. Branches whip across my arms. I step on every rock imaginable. My ankle throbs from an earlier fall. And behind us— Wolves. Not normal wolves. Fast. Heavy. Organized. Hunters. Every howl makes my heart leap into my throat. “Can you—slow—DOWN?!” I gasp between desperate gulps of air.
