“Young man," he said, his voice laced with an undercurrent of hidden emotions, "I sense a familiarity about you. Have we met before?"I paused, caught off guard by his remark. "I... I'm not sure," I stammered, trying to collect my thoughts. "I don't recall ever meeting you Sir. But there's something about you that feels... familiar."Jasmine's mother, interjected with a warm smile. "Perhaps it's just a coincidence, dear," she said soothingly. "We're grateful you brought Jasmine home safely. You must be tired after such a long journey. Why don't you stay for dinner? We'd love to hear the story of your adventure."I hesitated, my instincts telling me that there was more to Mr. Thompson's familiarity than mere chance. But their kindness and hospitality were genuine, and I couldn't ignore the invitation. "Thank you, Ma’am ," I replied, my voice tinged with gratitude. "I would be honoured to join you for dinner."As we gathered around the table, the atmosphere shifted. There was an underly
Jasmine’s POV:Lost in the memories of the exhilarating events that had unfolded earlier, I found myself nestled in the comfort of my room, the quiet solitude allowing my mind to wander. The echoes of Levi's presence still lingered, his touch and his unwavering protection etched into the fabric of my being.A wistful smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I recalled the stolen kisses, tender and electrifying, shared on our way back. Each embrace had conveyed a multitude of emotions, passion, longing, and an unspoken promise of unity. His lips against mine, the warmth of his touch, and the way his eyes held mine with unwavering devotion, all of it flooded my thoughts, igniting a longing deep within my heart.I sighed softly, leaning against the window sill as the moonlight bathed my room in a soft glow. The memory of his hand in mine, fingers intertwined, brought a sense of comfort and safety. In Levi's presence, I had felt invincible, as if together we could conquer any challenge t
As the first rays of dawn filtered through my bedroom window, gently nudging me from the embrace of slumber, I blinked my eyes open, greeted by the soft hues of morning light. A sense of anticipation fluttered in my chest as I realized a new day had dawned, brimming with possibilities and the promise of reuniting with Levi.With a stretch and a yawn, I rose from my bed, feeling the warmth of the morning caress my skin. The routine of the day beckoned, a symphony of familiar tasks that held a comforting rhythm. I made my way to the bathroom, the cool tiles beneath my feet invigorating my senses. The sound of running water filled the air as I turned on the faucet, splashing my face and brushing away the remnants of sleep.Cleansed and refreshed, I stepped into the steamy embrace of the shower, relishing in the cascading droplets that washed away any lingering weariness. Thoughts of Levi danced through my mind, the memory of his touch, his laughter, and the undeniable connection we share
Cherry POVI sat down with my eyes closed, wondering how long it was going to take before the food I ordered arrived. It had been a while since I last ate, and I'd developed an appetite for some reason. Though, I wasn't sure why that might be..."Hey, is there anyone here who's good at cooking? I'm starved." I said aloud, as if someone would answer me. No one did, however."Oh well," I sighed, opening my eyes. "That means I'll have to do it myself..."When I stood up from my chair, I noticed something odd: The table behind me was empty. Huh...? So where are all the people who were sitting there just now?! Did they leave without saying anything? Or maybe they went outside? But even then, it wouldn't make sense for them to leave so suddenly... Unless they were kidnapped or something. That would mean that we're in a whole other world, though...With no idea what to do, I decided to head out of the restaurant and look around town for any clues about what happened. On my way to the door, h
I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. I opened my eyes and saw the little boy lying on the bed beside me. He was awake and staring at me, so I got up and offered him some water."Hey... Where are you going?" he asked as I stood up."I'm gonna take a shower," I said. "Will you come with me?""Me?""Yeah, you know, to wash your hair.""Oh... Okay, I guess I will.""Great!" I grinned happily. "I'll go get some shampoo, so wait here."When I got back to the bedroom with the bottles of shampoo, the little boy was gone. I looked around the room, wondering where he had disappeared to, but there wasn't anyone else there.I heard a noise coming from outside, so I peeked out of the window. It was raining heavily, and there was lightning in the sky. Hmm, looks like it's really bad out there... Maybe he's waiting for me under the porch roof...I took the raincoat hanging on the wall and put it on. I then opened the door and stepped out onto the porch. There, I saw the kid sitting on a ben
"Of course, I do," I replied. We were lying on his bed. His hands caressed my skin while mine gently touched his chest. The warmth of his body surrounded me.We kissed. A moment later, he pulled away from me and stared into my eyes. "I love you so much, Cherry.""I love you too, Andrew."After that night, I fell madly in love with him. He was the one I thought about every day. My mind wouldn't let go of the idea that he was my destiny. I didn't know what would happen between us, but I knew it'd be something special.One evening, when we were together alone, he told me something I never expected to hear. "I have a confession, Cherry.""What is it?" I asked."When I met you, I instantly knew that this was the girl for me," he answered."You mean, you've been in love with me since the first time you saw me?""Yes, I have. And now I want to spend the rest of my life with you."My heart jumped inside my chest. "Really? You mean it?""Absolutely," he replied. "I don't think there's anyone e
Andrew followed me to his car, and we drove to his doctor's office."Mr. Andrews, I'm Dr. Duarte," the doctor greeted us."I know who you are," Andrew replied."Let's go sit down, Mr. Andrews," he said. "I need to talk to you about your test results."Once we were seated, the doctor examined Andrew. He then grabbed a pen and paper and began taking notes."Since you're here, I assume you know what you're dealing with?" he asked."Yes, we do," Andrew replied. "I have cancer.""I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you," Dr. Duarte said. "I'm going to write you a prescription, and we'll go over the details of the treatment plan.""Can I bring my wife along?" Andrew asked."Of course," the doctor replied. "I'm sure it would be helpful for her to understand what we're talking about."He wrote the prescription, and the three of us left the office."Do you want to stop by the pharmacy before going home?" I asked."Yes, I would," Andrew replied.We went to the closest store and picke
Levi’s POV:As I drove down the winding road towards the Pack's Den, I noticed that the fuel gauge in my vehicle was dangerously close to empty. Realizing that I needed to refill before continuing my journey, I decided to branch off and find the nearest gas station. Little did I know that this detour would lead me to a captivating encounter.As I pulled into the gas station, I noticed a woman standing by one of the pumps, her gaze fixed on the ground. Her golden blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders, and worry lines etched her face, adding a depth of maturity to her beauty. Intrigued by her troubled demeanor, I parked my vehicle nearby and approached her."Hi there," I greeted her with a warm smile. "I'm Levi. Is everything okay? You seem a bit worried."She looked up, her blue eyes shimmering with a mix of surprise and apprehension. "Oh, hello. I'm Cherry," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "I'm sorry if I seem a bit lost. I'm just going through a rough patch rig
