Okay so real quick before I release another chapter, I kind of want to see what y'all would want to read more so let me know.
Amphitrite-
"Who are you?" I ask dazed as I look into the striking blue eyes of the woman leaning over me. My hero. She squints at me suspiciously, not bothering to say nothing as she stares me down. I start to get up until she pushes me down with a firm hand and shakes her head. I watch as her hand moves slowly to my thigh where I see a bruise forming and before I can say something she taps it roughly making me shout in pain. "Fuck why did you do that?!" I yell pushing her hand off of me and she just looks at me with a blank face. I look over her and my eyes widens because for the first time I notice she is completely, butt ass naked."Where is your clothes?" I ask putting a hand over my face and I hear her smack her lips before she gets up and starts walking away. I try to follow her but for the first time I hear her speak, "stay" she says quietly. I am to shocked to listen as I lay back on the soft banana leaves she got covering the sand. I look around me and all I see is endless water in front of me and y'all trees behind me. "Where the fuck am I?" I ask before my eyes get heavy and before long I am passed out again, the naked girl no where in sight...
Mines-
I watch her carefully from across the room. The place is packed but I know she senses me here. I can tell by the way her body stiffens. The way she starts to fiddle with her fingers. The way her smile seems less sincere. More nervous. She felt me like I feel her. I watch as the man she was flirting with taps her waist and my jaw clenches. He leans down and whispers in her ear and I read his lips carefully. He asks her is she okay and she responds yes she just needs some fresh air. He nods before pulling her to him for a kiss and I watch bitterly as she kisses him back before hurrying away.I smile as I track her every move as she heads to the back door and goes outside. "Do you want another drink ma'am?" The bartender asks me and I stand and place a hundred dollar bill for a ten dollar drink on the bar top, "no I found me something else to sip on" I say before walking away and towards the way the woman went. I pass by the smooth talking asshole who was in her ear earlier, "oops I'm so sorry" I say as I bump into his shoulder. "It's fine beautiful" he says making me roll my eyes. I continue walking and enter into the spacious backyard.
The evening sky is beautiful and a soft breeze caresses the bare skin of my arms. I walk slowly through the garden trail following her sweet scent of Jasmine and something purely her. My foot don't make a sound as I approach a closed off section of the garden that is sectioned of with hanging flowers and plants. I push it apart knowing she is in there. "How did you find me?" Her soft voice asks as I approach her calmly on the bench she is seated on, waiting for me. "I will always find you" I say simply sitting beside her and she scoffs. "Of course you will" she says crossing her arms.
"I didn't come here to argue with you, come home" I say standing and she roll her eyes. "I'm not going nowhere with you" she says standing up and starting to walk away. I sit calmly as I pull out the wallet I had acquired from the stupid man. "Daniel Robert Harris. Age forty, lives in Oakland California, 5364 Washington"- I start reading off until she snatches the wallet away from me and sends a hard slap across my face making my head jerk back a little. "You crazy bitch!" She yells out going to slap me again but I grab her hand before pulling her into my lap. She squirms against me as I wrap my arms around her and pull her against me so she is completely immobile. "You should know just how crazy I can get wifey. You don't think I looked this house up and down before you stepped foot in here? You don't think I know every single nook and cranny in this bitch. I will light this bitch up without lifting a single finger and you know this" I say calmly in her ear and she stops trying to struggle. "Why won't you just let me go?!" She says crying and I kiss her ear. "Because, you are mines baby, I will never let you go" I say as she shakes in my arms because she knows it is true. She is mines...
Young Love-
We lay in my bedroom staring at the ceiling that used to be filled with fake stars but is now just blank just like the room around us. Empty except for the two of us laying on my mattress that is staying here. I got a new one at my new home. "I am so happy for you" she tells me and I know she means every word even if her voice is breaking. "Thank you. I don't want to go though. I want to stay with you" I say squeezing her hand tight. "I want you to stay with me too, but this will be good for you. Plus I'm going to be shooting and everything back to back. And I'm getting pulled out of school to get homeschooled so we want really see much of each other" she says making tears fall down my eyes."You will always be my first love" I say looking over at her and she looks at me with her deep brown eyes before pulling me in for a kiss. "And you mines" she says pulling away. "Promise me something" She says rubbing my cheek and I nod. "In twenty years we will come back to each other, no matter where we are, and we will be together forever" she says. "I promise" I say full heartedly. "No matter what baby" she says pulling me into her. "No matter what" I repeat before kissing her again. A knock on my door pulls us away and a white lady peeks her head in the door looking at me with a smile. "Are you ready sweetie?" She asks and I sigh before nodding. She looks between me and my baby again before leaving out of the room giving us time to say good bye to each other.
"Well I should go" I say standing and she stands with me and grabs my hand. "Don't look so sad baby, we will be together again soon" she says kissing me. "Twenty years is a long time" I say looking down. She pulls my chin back up and looks me firmly in the eyes, "we will find each other somehow when the time is right, before twenty years, at twenty years, or after twenty years. And we will be together" she starts and I finish crying, "forever" I say before walking out of her life. That was ten years ago...
