I never knew a week away from my son would turn me into an emotional mess. This boy holds my heart in his hands. From those five days that we’re apart, his curly dark hair seemed to grow almost an inch longer. Or is it just me? He might have grown taller too.
I’ve been ogling Griffin for about thirty minutes now, threading my fingers through his hair while he was still sleeping peacefully. It’s five in the morning on a Saturday and my mind was already wide awake with thoughts of the man who looks just like my son.
What has gotten into me? Why did I agree to be civil and friends with him?
Devin showed me the soft side of him again, the one I fell in love with.
That rooftop garden he had in his hotel mad

~Ren~“Let go,” I argued, trying my hardest to pull my hand away from his hold.“Why are you being stubborn?” he asked inquisitively, as if he didn’t know why.“Friends don’t hold hands like this,” my voice was low yet the defiance is clear. The pilot hearing us was the least of my concerns. Devin has to stop doing these kinds of things.Devin stared at me with a flicker of pain, hurt. “I know. We’re not friends from now on.”Ugh! He’s impossible to deal with. I huffed and stared at the miniature world from up here.Sensing my defeat, Devin drew soothing circles on my knuckles. I don’t have to look at hi
DEVIN Weak Ren
~Ren~Dumbfounded, utterly astonished, that’s how I’m feeling at the moment. It’s not that he’s wrong, he’s totally right, yet I don’t want to show him any fucking clue.Am I that easy to read?He looks done perusing my thoughts, Devin broke the eerie silence hovering over us. “I know you…” he slurred. “Too well, agápi mou… coz I love you so much even if you push me away… you’re still the one my heart is longing for… you must love me still…” he shook his head. “You do, you have to…”The pinging of the oven hauled his blabbering about nonsense. He stood up and took out the food while I breathed out.De
DEVIN Push and Pull
~Ren~One thirty-five in the morning, I stared at the dark ceiling of my room. There was no light apart from the sliver of moonlight passing through the open balcony. The ocean breeze was warm, humid, even at this time of the night or morning, rather.Yesterday’s events played like a ruined CD of a 90s film in my mind. It comes back to the euphoria of feelings I felt with his touch.Devin.I must be really wrong in the head.What happened to those promises I made while carrying Griffin in my womb? The promise to not allow me to be weak again.Life is mean, and I’m scared that I might be six feet under him before I realize my mistake once again.
DEVIN Sing a Song
~Devin~I couldn’t sleep. All I can think about was kissing her again, feeling her feverish skin against mine. The way she arched her back when I sucked on her nipples. The moans that escaped her full lips with each touch I made with her.Fuck.Being celibate for three years must’ve done its bidding on my mind. My hand is not enough to get me done.I crave her scent, her touch, her lips.She started everything on the island, yet she acted like my touch burned her.Why can’t she just give me a chance?She asked for space; I didn’t argue with her because I didn’t know if I could control myself around her.

DEVIN Our Room
~Ren~What have I gotten myself into? What happened to keeping a safe distance from the infuriatingly handsome Greek God?I sighed, stuffing my duffle bag with the clothes I need for two days.What is going to happen? Will we have sex? Knowing Devin, he wouldn’t let this weekend go with something happening between us.Just thinking about his touch on my skin, his lips, God, it’s soaking my panties already. Why am I so horny?Maybe because you haven’t had sex with anyone but him? The small voice in my head scolded.Sometimes, I really hate myself for being too reckless.“Mama,” Griffin climbs on the bed in
DEVIN Open Your Heart
~Ren~“This is our room, agápi mou,”I pulled the ash-colored duvet closer to my body, my hands fisting the silky cloth too hard, nails digging into my palms.“O-our room?” Stuttering, I sound like a broken record.He took me off guard by taking me here in his penthouse. This was the last place on earth I would want to spend my weekend. I expected him to bring me to another island, or maybe to some fancy vacation spot. Even in a forest for camping would do for me, just not here.This place holds too much memory of us when I was still happy with him. When we were happy together.This bed where we used to cuddle each morning. The ensuite bathroom where
DEVIN Enough Chasing
~Ren~His words made me throw my head back laughing, so loud that I swear it can be heard all over New York City.His brows furrowed, “what’s so funny?” he seemed offended.I clutched my tummy, wiping the tears that escaped my eyes. Shaking my head, I turned around and took a shirt and sweatpants from the dresser. “You... You’re funny.”Devin opened his mouth to say something but clos

I'm celebrating that he’s in someone else’s arms now - liar liar pants on fire.I let myself get drunk, I’ve always been a responsible drinker - not tonight.Drowning myself in alcohol is the only solution I can see at the moment and it’s working pretty fucking well!

DEVIN Christmas Special
~Ren~ The colorful sparkling decoration of the Christmas tree we put up earlier is dancing in my husband's and son’s eyes. Devin lifted Griffin by his waist, our son held the star in his hands as he reached up and put it on the top of the Christmas tree. “Now, Mama,” Griffin said, giving me a convincing nod. I was holding the plug of the Christmas tree, connecting it with the outlet, the lights came to life and the star above the six-foot tree twinkled with different luminous colors. Griffin giggled as Devin peppered him with kisses on his cheeks. “Can I?” our son asked for the twentieth time today. He’s very excited to open the present Devin has for him. It’s not that we don’t celebrate Christmas before, but this is Griffin’s first Christmas with his father. “Can’t wait after midnight, buddy?” Devin ruffled Griffin’s hair, setting him down on his feet. Griffin pouted, looking a little thoughtful before he answered. “I can, Pap
DEVIN I Love You
I’m so sorry about the delay in my update. Please enjoy this additional chapter.~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Devin~ “Are you happy?” Ren mumbled after I made her twirl on our first dance as husband and wife. “Of course,” I grabbed her waist and pulled her back in my arms as we continued to sway on the tune of Shane Filan’s Beautiful In White. “Why wouldn’t I be happy. You’re wearing mom’s ring and my name is now yours.” She giggled, leaning her face on my chest as she wrapped her arms tightly around my waist. “I love you.” “You’re mine completely, you don’t have a choice but to love me,” I teased her and she squeezed me with her light force. “Cara is here.” I looked at my visionless artist friend who was dancing with Klaus. “Yes,” Ren looked over Klaus and Cara. “I met her the day before we left Manhattan. Did you know I got jealous of her?” Cara is a fifteen-year-old girl who lives next door to my place. We became friends when I helped
DEVIN Connivance
Hey Babes, I’m so sorry about the glitch. Before reading this one, please check the previous chapter. Thank you so much for staying with me.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devin~I watched Ren and Griffin walk on the shore, barefoot, hand in hand as I grilled the fish I caught earlier. They were picking up shellfish in front of our beach house in Barbados, the sound of their laughter was mingling with the waves crashing on the shore.Ren waved at me while Griffin held a starfish in his hand and showed it to his Mama.We came here yesterday and Ren hasn't greeted me happy birthday yet.I’ve never celebrated my birthday, I had no reason to. Mom and Eve were the only people who greeted me on my birthday until I was recognized by the public as one of the youngest business tycoons in the world. People started sending me gifts, greetings, wishes, but none really mattered to me since they didn't know the real me. I thanked them, but the love I was longi
DEVIN Closure
~Devin~Ren’s recovery is faster than what I expected, she’s going back to her usual routine around the house within just three days. Even with the bandage still around her shoulder, she helps Mrs. Kelvin in the kitchen in the morning and prepares food for Griffin and me.Who was I to object when the girl I love prepares food for me and our son? Although I am worried about her condition, I can see that the spark in her eyes is back. Those glints that were missing when she first opened her eyes in the ambulance. It scared the shit out of me, seeing how pale she was, slowly losing life. It’s a nightmare, a horror I wouldn’t dare challenge to come to us again.“Papa,” Griffin was rubbing his eyes, standing beside me while I was watching Ren silently from the entrance frame of the kitchen. My son opened his arms so wide, a gesture he does when he wants me to carry him.He’s a big boy now, not a baby anymore, but I&rsq
DEVIN Another Chance
~Ren~Am I dead? I guess not. My body hurts like a bitch everywhere. Even my pinky is aching. They say that death is peaceful, like an endless emptiness. I’m sure that this isn’t it.The ambulance and police sirens are so loud, people chattering around me. My eyelids were heavy, as if they were glued together and won’t let go of the other. Stupid eyelids.“Ren… please…” I heard his voice. Why is Devin sad? Is he crying? “Ren, hang on.”Something must’ve slammed shut, a door perhaps and I felt warm hands enclosed mine. I knew it was Devin, his scent lingers in the air overpowering the foul smell of blood. Trying to squeeze his hand back, I groaned when I f
DEVIN Don't
~Devin~Watching Ren Sleep in my arms peacefully is my favorite time of the day, except for those ‘practice’ things we do of course, and spending time with Griffin.I’d never get tired of admiring her beautiful features, her long brown wavy hair draped over the sheets of our bed and my arms. Tucking away some mischievous locks that surround her face, I trailed my fingers along her cheeks to her jaws and brushed my thumb over her pinkish full lips. These lips that I can’t get enough of.“I love you,” I fondled my lips over
DEVIN Answers
~Ren~“Mama,” Griffin climbs on my lap as Natalie and I listen to a few singers who are aspiring to make a break in the music industry.My son requested for me to write his name with his father’s surname and he’s been pretty busy shading the paper with incoherent patterns while I work.He’s excited about it, ecstatic even. He jumped high and low when we told him about the news, both he and his father were fairly excited to see the papers even if Griffin couldn’t understand them yet.
DEVIN Soon
~Ren~My heart aches for Devin. Hearing him say that he isn’t worthy of becoming a father is making my heart clench.I can’t help but blame myself for adding fuel to the doubt he was feeling right now. As I watched him sleep peacefully, I reached for his hair and twirled a few locks in my fingers. His hair is longer. It gives him more of that bad boy vibe and I like it so much. He really is the older version of Griffin. Their full lips, their blue hues and long thick lashes, even their nose were very similar. I bet my son would be such a charmer when he grows up like his father.
DEVIN Right and Wrong
~Ren~“Why?” was my stupid response. This is not what I was expecting to hear from Devin.I’m happy, don’t get me wrong, ecstatic even, but I think he’s making irrational decisions. Lightning-fast decisions that could either make us or break us.“I love you,” he held my face in his big warm hands, electric shocks flowing through my whole body. “And I want to be with you for as long as I live, Ren.” His eyes looking straight into my green ones.
