Emily had nearly cried as she thought that was the happiest moment of her life. For she finally heard him telling her that he loved her. “It’s alright if this is just a dream to him. Because for me it’s a sweet dream and a beautiful one too. For I get to hold him. Hold him. Embrace in his heat of love,” thought Emily. Joshua was kissing her tenderly and touching her softly. Emily closed her eyes and embraced him in her arms. “I can’t hold on much longer,” groaned Joshua. Emily’s lips parted at his words. She had a gentle smile on her lips. She caress his handsome face in her hands. “Just before this beautiful end, let us both be set free. Be free to love each other one last time. For I really and truly love you. So, let this be my parting gift to you. Thanks for everything. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for saving me,” thought Emily. “Emily, I love you!” grunted Joshua. “I’ve always loved you.” Emily wished what he said was true. And with all her heart she wished it was tru
Joshua let out a small joyous laughter and closed his eyes and fell asleep. Emily turned her head to look at him. She thought, “Was he really dreaming?” Joshua was sleeping quietly in front of her. She brushed his hair off of his face. She watched as he was sleeping so peacefully. She smiled as this was the first time, they had slept next to each other, except for that night. Emily frowned as she thought about that night. It was Emily’s eighteenth birthday. She didn’t have many friend, so no one called or text her to tell her happy birthday. Except for her five uncles. And one additional text that caught her off guard was Joshua. Joshua texted her early that morning telling her happy birthday. His text message left her heart pounding happily all day long. “Oh, Joshua,” whispers Emily, talking to her cell phone. Emily fell backward into her bed, with her cell phone in her face. “Even though you had moved on and had a girlfriend of his own, you still remembered me,” she thought.
A tear dripped down the side of Emily’s face. “Joshua, how much misunderstanding we have that day. You always believed I drugged you. You believed that I led you to my room. You believed I set you up. You believe that I have wronged you. You never believed a single word I said. You never once trust me. You never loved me,” she thought. Emily sniffled back her tears as she didn’t want to cry from the memories she couldn’t change. Joshua frowned in his sleep then he seemed to have a nightmare as he started sleep talking.Emily thought not to wake him up, but Joshua started mumbling more and more in his sleep. Sounding aggressive. “No. No!” shouted Joshua. He started to fling his arms around. Concerned that Joshua might hurt himself, she got up and tried to stop him from swinging his fist around. “NOOO!” screamed Joshua. His eyes was still closed.“What is this? Is he still dreaming?” she thought.“NO!” Emily was startled by his shouts and screams. She grabbed hold of him and said,
“Emily!” shouted Beatrice.Emily’s head lifted up as she heard Beatrice’s voice.“Emily!” screamed John.There were dogs barking from around them.Joshua frowned as they were found. The barking dogs were probably rescued dog.Emily ran out of the hut towards the screaming voices.Joshua was happy that they were rescued, but he was also sad at the same time. How their time have already come to an end. How he didn’t even get to spend anymore time with her. He didn’t want it to end.Joshua’s heart ached as Emily was smiling happily at the people across the river. How he wanted more time to talk to her and asked her if anything happened between them. But seeing the way she is, seems like nothing happened to them.He chuckled that once they got back to the cabin they would get some proper rest, sleep, and something to eat. He’s sure that she’s hungry, for he’s starving, and his stomach won’t stop growling. “We’re over here,” shouted Emily.Then Joshua got up and felt his body heavy as a
“Emily!” exclaimed Beatrice, running into the hut. “Aunt Beatrice,” said Emily. Joshua frowned as he got interrupted. “Oh, my dearest,” cried Beatrice. Emily couldn’t put Joshua down since he was having a headache, so she smiled at Beatrice and said, “Auntie.” “You’re fine. Oh, thank goodness.” Beatrice kneeling down to Emily. “Yes,” said Emily, nodding her head. “Oh, what’s this?” asked Beatrice, looking at Joshua leaning on Emily’s shoulder. “He’s-He's not feeling well.” “Oh, I would assume so, since he did swim in that freezing water to save you.” “Yes. Yes, he did, didn’t he?” said Emily, looking at Joshua. Flashback of how he came running towards her. Swimming to her. Keeping her afloat. Telling her that he won't let her go, echoed in her heart. Beatrice frowned as she thought she saw something in Emily’s face. A face she hadn’t seen on her before. A face of care and love. She became worried that her niece have fallen into another scheme. Falling back in love or is st
As Beatrice exited the hut, she became anxious. Something wasn’t sitting right with Beatrice. His words was bothering her. What does he mean leaning his head on her breasts. Did he do something to her last night. Did they do something together? She bit her fingernails. She started pacing in front of the hut trying to think. Beatrice’s eyes widened. “Or what did he do with her last night,” she thought. With worries she rushed over to Jack. “Let go Joshua,” said Emily. She loosened his grip and lifted his head to her. Joshua smiled as he looked at her. “You did that on purpose didn’t you?” Joshua shrugged and acted innocent. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Honestly?” asked Emily, looking into his eyes. Joshua smiled and gently shook his head, “I’m not sure what you’re asking.” Emily gasped he was lying. She pushed him away from her. Joshua slumped and fell next to her, hitting his head. Thump. He groaned, “Ouch. Ow, my head.” Emily panicked as she didn’t think he w
Joshua’s right hand was on her breast, and he was ready to pull down her shirt to ask her about his love marks. Confronting her. Demanding her to admit their love making. “I know right,” said John, talking loudly outside the door of the hut. Emily gasped as her uncles and aunt were coming inside. She pulled herself free from Joshua. “Nothing happened. Keep that in mind.” Joshua frowned as he looked at her. “Damn it woman, you want me to force you?” he thought. “Why? Why do you keep lying to me?”Emily fixed her shirt and looked appropriate again as her uncles walked in.As Emily was fixing herself, Joshua could clearly see all of the bites and the hickeys he left on her breasts and body. Proof that he loved her. His desires for her. How deep his lust is for her as he sink his teeth into her skin. How much he wanted to make her his that he marked her with the dark red hater mark. “Damn it why did they have to come. I got lots of things to say to my little ex-wife,” he thought. “Em
Another paramedic walked in. He was a middle-aged man. His name was Henry. “My name is Henry. I am sorry about what happened earlier.” “Not your fault,” said, Joshua. He was trying to get up from Emily but was struggling as his legs were sore. “Are you okay?” asked the older paramedic, noticing Joshua’s wobble. “Yeah. I’m not sure why I’m so sore,” said Joshua, limping. “Well, you probably strain yourself when you were swimming in the river.” “Oh, how so?” “Well, I mean when your body is in a panic when you’re in that freezing water. So, you use every ounces of your muscles and energy to stay alive. Your legs were probably using muscles they haven’t used in a long time, so that’s probably why you’re aching.” “Odd,” said Joshua. “Do you exercise on a daily basis?” asked the older paramedic. “Yes. Yes, I do. Nearly every day. I’m pretty fit.” “For sure. I can see that. But then you lose it all son when you get married and have kids.” The older paramedic tapping his belly. Emi
