Her Keeper

Chapter 26

--Janvier Morrison--

I was now living in this huge house all by my lonesome. I knew that Julliet would move out and start a life of her own someday and maybe she wasn't exactly ready, but I had to show her some tough love and put her out myself.

Julliet's attitude had always been horrible, but ever since she got into that relationship with Geovanni, it has become unbearable.

I'm not in any way blaming Geovanni for her attitude. Julliet has always had a bad attitude, but it just seemed to have gotten worse in recent times.

A knock at my front door, caused me to put down the newspaper I was currently reading to get up and answer it.

I pulled the door open to reveal a face I never thought I'd see again.

We stood there staring at each other for a long time. Looking into those eyes again felt so surreal.

"Lillet..." I allowed her name to roll off of my tongue as I drunk her appearance.

"Hello Janvier." She almost whispered.

For years, I had waited for this woman to come back into my life, admit how wrong she was and how badly she wanted to make it right, but it always seemed as if I was waiting in vain.

For years I have gone without a woman in my bed, waiting for her. As foolish as it may seem, I was still waiting. Even up until now.

"Are you going to let me in?" She questioned.

"Come in." Upon invitation, she strolled quietly into the house and sat at my dining room table, causing me to follow her lead.

"This place hasn't changed much at all." She commented.

"Why are you here, Lillet?" I cut to the chase.

"I came to see my daughter." She simply stated. "Is she around?"

"Since when have you been concerned about Julliet?" I fired.

"I've always wanted to come around, but I always thought it would be best to wait until she was old enough to understand."

"She's with her boyfriend." I simply stated.

"She's spending the night?" She questioned.

"Nope. She lives with him now." I corrected.

"She's only eighteen, Jan!" She stated repulsively.

"She's pregnant and has an attitude like you which I am tired of dealing with, so I put her out."

"Oh—" she froze.

"Is he treating you well?" I was dying to know.

She sighed while shaking her head.

"No." She stated sadly.

"So you left me, someone who loves you more than anything in this world for someone who doesn't even treat you right?"

"I've been out of that situation for months now, Jan." She defended.

"You mean you ran away and now you're hiding." I knew I was right, so the shameful gleam in her eyes didn't surprise me one bit.

"I had to." She confirmed. "I don't even love him anymore."

"Are you sure you came back for Julliet or do you have other motives?"

"I came back so I could create a bond with her. Something I failed to do in her early years. You know, before it's too late for me." She clarified. "But I also came back to admit how wrong I was." She shook her head, mostly to herself than anyone else. "I was so wrong, Jan. I had everything I needed right here. I missed you so much. I felt so foolish. I was too ashamed to come back sooner." Her eyes glossed over. "I was afraid you'd shun me. Afraid that you would've moved on with someone better." Her tears began to fall, causing me to reach over and wipe them away.

"I've waited tirelessly for you." I whispered.

"Does that mean you've stopped waiting?"

In response, I got up from my chair and lifted her from hers, sitting her on the table, I stood between her legs and pulled her into me. Her legs wrapped around my hips and her arms snaked around my neck as I took her lips into a passionate kiss.

Lillet moaned softly against my lips as I gripped her thighs, pulling her into me even more if that was possible.

Her center was now pressed toward mine. Her dress slipped up her legs, exposing the lacy fabric of her underwear.

"Maybe we should stop." She suggested.

"Maybe, but you were always my favorite tragedy." I mumbled as I kissed her again.

"I want you, Jan." She huskily breathed.

"You've always had me, Lilly." I replied as I rubbed her nipples through the fabric of her dress' bodice, feeling them grow hard beneath my touch.

She threw her head back, allowing me access to the soft skin on the column of her throat. I nibbled and sucked on it.

"After all this time, you still know how to drive my body crazy." She breathed.

"Was it not mine to begin with?" I growled huskily as I pulled her dress over her head, discarding it on the floor somewhere. Her round, firm breasts boasted her erect buds. I took them into my mouth one at a time, flicking my tongue against them as I listened to her moans of pleasure.

This could all be a momentary bliss for me. She may up and leave me in the middle of the night, but she was a mistake I'd willingly make until the end of time.

--Julliet Morrison--

It was four in the morning and I was bent over the toilet, emptying the contents of my stomach.

Geovanni wasn't at home and I wasn't sure where he was. He also would not answer his phone. At first, I was worried, but now, anger was all I felt.

I felt another wave of nausea rush over me, making me hold my head over the toilet as I threw up again.

My hair was suddenly held back from draping over my shoulders like it had been doing for a bit now, causing me to become more enraged.

As I finished going through my sickness, I stood up while pushing Geovanni's outsteched hand away, refusing his help.

I made my way to the sink, angrily gargling the distasteful aftertaste of throw up from my mouth with mouthwash.

When I was finished, I turned around to see Geo staring at me, enraging me further.

"Where the hell were you?" I gritted.

"Out." He simply replied. I scoffed as I pushed past him and made my way into the bedroom.

I grabbed a pillow and the covers from the bed before storming out of there and into one of the other two bedrooms.

If Geo wanted to act single, I'd allow him to do so freely. I really couldn't be bothered. That lie I tried to tell myself obviously didn't work, because soon enough my face and pillow were wet with my tears.

I was bothered as fuck.
