Truce Novels & Stories

Tracy said, extending her hands towards Turstin for a handshake. Presently, I prayed deep in my heart for Turstin not to mess things up. I know he doesn't like Tracy, but then…I trailed off in my thoughts as Turstin stretched his hands forward and took Tracy's in a handshake. “Nice to meet you too, Tracy,” he uttered, smiling at her politely.

Aiden Call me a jerk, but I was having a good time. Blood rushed to my loins as she looked helpless, like a deer caught in a headlight. I handed her a box of Kleenex as she began talking about what had happened to her, despite the fact that I had not asked. I didn't intervene. I simply held her hand as she told me about her trauma. She exhaled deeply to regain her composure. With all of the crying, her nose was red, and her eyes were puffy. She looked cute. I couldn't keep a smile from appearing on my face.

My heart drops, but he takes it in good grace and nods slowly. “I understand.” The simplicity of it makes my chest ache. I feel disappointment creep in. “I didn’t expect you to.” I say honestly. “I did,” he says quietly. My throat tightens. “So what happens now?” I ask. He studies me for a moment. Then he sighs. “A truce.” I blink. “A truce?” I repeat. “Yes.” He gestures slightly between us. “We stop pretending this isn’t complicated fucked up shit.” “That sounds healthy.” I say chuckling.

They thought by making a fuss, they could turn this benefit into cash. What they never considered was that this benefit was never theirs to claim—it was a gift I had paid for from my own pocket. "Impossible!" Keira screamed. "You're lying! You're a greedy capitalist who's trying to take all the money for yourself!" "Believe whatever you want," I said expressionlessly.

He still had not forgotten that night. "Ace and Zol know. Everyone knows. He is my boy. And besides he is not a threat. So". He ended the conversation effectively. "You know you can’t change it". Truce said before standing up at the table. "Oh I can. If I want to". Stephen stood up too. Wiping his mouth with the napkin. Truce saw him with judging eyes. Callum was getting conscious of the stare. Stephen simply held him by his waist pulling in close.

"Don't ever do that again. Don't ever put yourself in danger like that. I can't… I can't lose you. Not ever. Do you understand me?" "You're not going to lose me." She pulled back to look at him, to see the tears streaming down his face. "We're okay. We made it. Trish is gone and we're— we're finally okay." Trish had killed their baby. Prue would cry about that later. Nate was okay. "We're okay," he repeated, like he was trying to convince himself. Like he couldn't quite believe it was over. "We're going to be okay." She kissed him then, tasting salt from both their tears, tasting relief and love and the promise of tomorrow. "Take me to a hotel. Take me to bed. Make me forget about guns and c

Seemingly ruled by protective instinct, he drew closer to me. “No, I’m not going to let him lay a finger on you." He promised. “I don’t trust you.” I said as I pulled away from him. Though seated on the same bed, I felt miles away from him. Through blurred eyes, I could detect a sense of hurt cross his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. I knew that it was a brutal thing to say but it was true and he ought to know that. All he's ever done till now was let me down. There was no way I'd give him my trust unless he earned it himself in righteous ways.

Luka was after all the only married guy in the suite. "I don't speak English too well." Luka laughed softly. "I will translate.." Eric added. "Where ever needed." "Don't worry, I'm sure we will all make out what you will be saying." Nick replied. "Okay. I meet my wife in supermarket. She forget her money so I offer to pay everything.
