Life will always screw you up.
The thing is, I never asked for much in my life. I figured if I kept my wishes simple, then surely fate would look at me kindly and let me guide me because Jane Carter isn't asking for much after all, just an Albert with an above-average IQ. Fiery good looks and a desire to rebuild her family. Smart, sexy, and looking for sex. I mean seriously, is it any wonder why Goth Albert had girls throw themselves at him, even me? The guy was walking and talking poster for an ideal date.
And for a time, fate seemed to have been very kind to me because my wish had been granted. After all, I hooked up with Albert and Rose didn't. Finally, things seemed

"The man who was caught doing it with a certain friend of mine in his father's closet says it" I say with a knowing smile."How could you ... Just get a room!" He says with a snort, looking forward again and trying to ignore the continued words spoken between Travis and me."Maybe we should get a room," Travis mutters playfully in my ear. And make him pay for it. "He still owes you that big bet, right?" He says with a smile and a slight nod behind Diego."Yes, it does, but if you haven't noticed, we are in the middle of a mission at the moment and the lady is already angry because we are late" I said, nodding my head slightly in the direction of Gabriela who is looking out the window from his carriage, glaring at us."Maybe she and Diego should get together and create a club" she says half-jokingly."Well, he loves us and he also loves the idea of us together, he said so himself. I think he's just not used to our public displays of affection. As

The thing about us hopeless romantics is that it doesn't take much for our alarm bells to ring and our red flags to fly around a potential mate. We smell romance the way a shark smells blood in the ocean, we don't need much to catch it, all we need is a clue.Gabriela is sitting in a chair on top of one of the royal white horses. After hours of being confined inside the royal carriage, she decided to ride a horse for a change. She is risky because she leaves her out in the open, making it difficult for everyone to protect her, but she is a stubborn girl. Even though everyone tried to reason with her she almost made everyone lag behind and did what she wanted anyway. But watching her now, sitting confidently and proudly on her horse, I see it: a soft touch of her hand as the stable boy hands her the reins and a persistent gaze between them."Oh my God""What?" Travis whispers to me again."That is!""Who?""The mystery man!""Where?"

"Maybe. But like I said in Blanca's office, there are only a few things worth fighting for and love surpasses them all""You are a pervert with substance," I scoff at him."No, I'm a desperate romantic"And instead of continuing to argue about it, we kissed instead.Night falls and the world around us changes. He and I sat shoulder to shoulder on a fallen log, watching in comfortable silence as the last rays of the setting sun bled into the slowly darkening sky, turning it into brilliant shades of burnt pinks and oranges with just a hint of purple. here and there. To say that it is beautiful is an understatement, yet no other word fits so perfectly.My head instinctively falls against his shoulder and his head rests softly on mine. When a gust of cold wind blows against the grassy mound we sit on, the temperature drops, making me shiver and fully aware of how we are still in the middle of winter. Travis's hand moves quickly to my arm and rubs it up

"Gabriela, wait!""For the love of God, do you never give up?" She asks furiously, shooting me a murderous look over his shoulder without missing a single quick step."I have a best friend who is determined to become the boss, another friend who is determined to kill all the remaining members of his family, and a boyfriend who doesn't know how to give up his porn. I tend to take that attitude of not giving up"Gabriela stops abruptly, turns quickly, and looks me straight in the eye."Listen, I understand what you are trying to do and why you are doing it, but really, I agree with this. Damian is fine with this, so please… stay out!""Damian ... So that's his name"Gabriela's eyes widen at her little slip.XXX"Sorry, what did you say his name was?""Travis Baker. I am one of the agents assigned to protect this convoy on the way to Japan""Ah, nice to meet you. I

Because it stands out against the moonlight, a warm glow of lantern light that vibrates through its open windows, it is a small but sturdy one-story wooden house.A house. Luis built Travis and me our own house."Oh, Captain Luis!""You're welcome," he interrupts before he can say anything else."But you didn't have to! You've expended so much energy and magic already building all those other houses and he and I could have easily shared""No, you couldn't have done it." Diego shakes his head firmly."What did you tell Luis?" I ask, my tone and temper are already rising."I didn't say anything ... I swear!" He says, his hands raised in front of him in innocence, taking a step back for every step I take toward him."He's telling the truth, Jane, I thought you guys could use a little place of your own now"Stopping my threatening advance towards Diego (whom I hear breathe a sigh of relief) I turn to Luis and give him a trul

The landscape is changing rapidly. The trees are spreading and separating even more. The river water that once roared and flowed in abundance has calmed into a harmless, bubbling stream. Even the sun, once pleasant on this cold January day, has now become a nuisance, overwhelming us and forcing us to shed layers of clothing. The desert is coming and it will soon be too late. Once we get to the arena, the horses will be sent back to the governor's castle and exchanged for carriages from Japan, and there will be no more horses which means there will be no more "stable boy" means ... "Jane are you okay?" If the heat is affecting you we can stop. "I'm fine, Travis. I am worried because we are running out of time" "Do you want to talk to Gabriela again?" "No, with Damian" He raises his eyebrow at me. "You have told him what it is to fight for someone, now I need to tell him what it is to be fought." "Ok, how can I help?" "Is

"That's my friend Diego. I have known him for a long time. He's the proverbial 'King of the Nerds' we've been talking about, he's not a nerd, more of a jerk, but that's beside the point. The thing is, when I was younger I didn't even give him the time because I wasn't attracted to him, but I honestly say that I love him, I would never want anything bad to happen to him and I can't imagine living the rest of my life without him""Uh ... Does Travis know about this?""Of course yes. Everyone knows that I love Diego""And Travis is perfectly fine with that?""Okay, yes. Diego has a girlfriend at home""Oooh ..."But even if it weren't, Travis knows he can't feel threatened because ..."I think I know where you're going with this. You love Diego with all your heart, but you are not in love with him the way you are with him""Exactly." I stand up, nodding and smiling."But how can you even tell the difference between loving s

5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1. "Now you can kiss the bride!" Despite all the noises from the New Year's party, all the noise is surprisingly muffled and distant, as if you hear it underwater. "Happy New Year, Mrs. Baker" he says smiling at me happily, her voice comes down from her and just for me. "Happy New Year," I say in a low voice back, returning the smile. And so we both kiss for the first time as husband and wife. When Travis and I finally break up and face people once again everyone is still yelling and clapping at us, even the ones who disapproved of our relationship at first. Yes, we have come a long way since this year, no… last year. Last year, Travis's kiss was a huge surprise to everyone, including me, so it is only appropriate to celebrate this New Year, our first anniversary, with another surprise ... a wedding. A week ago... After tearing the wrapping paper off my last Christmas present and

In winter, the town becomes a place where the branches of the trees were thrown all over the streets due to the snow. Our town looks like a small fortress covered and hidden by snow but… How else could we obtain our lush vegetation if not for the large amounts of water we receive during the spring rains and winter snow? And now that all the Christmas presents have been opened, it's not surprising to see most of the villagers sledding or building snowmen or snowballs, and generally just enjoying what little is left of this day. of Christmas. However, Travis and I deviated from the larger crowds, opting to stay in the quiet Training Ground 3. Training ground 3 is also completely transformed in winter, it has been changed from a thick and herbaceous field to a barren one surrounded by the aforementioned leafless trees, its skeleton trunks and branches are now gray instead of its color. normal earthy brown. The training ground looks like a Christmas card with its virgin

I look back at Travis thinking that all men are dense even the ones who are supposed to be geniuses. On the other hand, he seems sincere and I can't expect him to read my mind, nor do I expect him to, but seriously, he can figure out how to take down an entire organization of S-class criminals, but he can't figure this out? He's like the guy who can get sports stats or figure out how to make complicated technology work, but can't he figure it out for himself when he's a complete Neanderthal? Idiots, most of them! "The reason I got angry was that I asked you to take me seriously, but you made a joke and not only that, but the joke you made me think that all you are looking for is sex" "Oh, I see," he says in understanding. "Well, what do you know? Neanderthals can understand the obvious" " But Jane, if all she wanted was sex, then she would be running around town sleeping with anything that walks, but I don't want to. What I do want is to have the pers

In the darkness of the room lit only by the pale moonlight, I notice a sad face looking at me from across the room. He always had such a sad face. Then again, that's exactly what made me approach him when I was younger, which made him my favorite above all the rest. When he was happy, I wanted to cheer him up, and when he was sad like I am now ... "I know exactly how you feel," I murmur, lifting Bunny off the dusty shelf and hugging him tightly to my chest. Dark, wet spots are beginning to appear on top of his shaggy head, but he's used to it by now. He just soaks them through, absorbing the tears until they finally dry and I feel better again. He was always a comfort to me, which only makes me feel even more guilty for abandoning him, for putting him aside because I thought he was too old for him, at least I didn't throw it away. In truth, you can never get over what makes you feel safe. Even the toughest of us, the ones who refuse to admit we do suc

Another set of high-pitched screams emanate from the apartment hallway. I roll my eyes and shake my head before heading to the front door and poking my head through it. "Travis," I say in exasperation. "That?" he asks innocently. "Haven't you had enough?" "But they like it!" The terrified look in the children's eyes when they look over their shoulders and run away from us (or should I say Travis) They say otherwise, but what can I do? Its Halloween. Kids don't want to be scared and it's not like Travis stops them from taking the candy before he scares them. The huge orange plastic bowl with printed bats flying around its rim is surprisingly nearly empty, meaning either our candy is better than the neighbors' or he's been very, very generous in delivering the treats. Seeing as things rarely happen for a single reason, I guess it's a bit of both. "Okay, but once the bowl is empty, that's it, okay?" Travis gives me a happy

Seeing how we have repositioned ourselves and back to where we left off, Travis Number Two stands very close to me so that I can continue right where he also left off, holding my hair to continue kissing and sucking on the back, the sides of my neck and the curves of my shoulders.I'm getting used to this extravagance of kisses when I feel two pairs of hands on me, one pair rubbing up and down my sides while the other pair gently glide up and down my bare arms, and while both touches are relatively innocent. , the double sensation is turning me on much faster than if it had been just a pair of hands.And then the hands start to wander and the touches are less and less innocent. A pair of hands rub up and down the outside of my thighs, causing my already short skirt to sit a little higher with each stroke. Meanwhile, another pair of hands is slowly beginning to unzip the back of my dress. It's Travis Number Two, and as he slowly reveals every inch of my bareback, he pla

"Do you want me to do it?" I ask hysterically.Travis looks like she's in fear for his life, as she should be. I mean, I knew the man was perverted but I just didn't realize how much."No, Jane! You're not going to do it! Oh, does not matter! I knew it was too weird! I knew I should never have asked you! You're so sweet here, making me dinner and dressing up for me and I screwed it all up by making that suggestion. Very sorry. Please forgive me and forget that I ever asked"I look at Travis with a pounding heart, but not for the reason he thinks. I'm not mad, I'm actually ... excited."Travis, calm down! I didn't say I wasn't going to do it. I just want to clarify what exactly you want us to do"Now he seems completely bewildered as if he had just said to her: Yes, Travis… Santa Claus is real."Really?""Yes, I will do it"And just as the words leave my mouth, I'm just as surprised as he is by my willingness to do so.

Would it be wrong for me to mention to Travis that his birthday used to be the same day that Japan and elite countries used to celebrate Respect for Aging Day? I think so. Also, he is angry at all the jokes that he has received and continues to receive for being with someone much younger than him.However, I must admit that even some jokes are quite funny, like having a parent-teacher conference when we went to see my parents. I mean, what can you do? You can get mad and hit the ground all the time (I tried for a while until Blanca threatened to remove the town repair costs from my paycheck) or access the jokes on a case-by-case basis and take them from there. Seeing how the majority of the people have learned to accept or ignore us.It's hard to believe that Travis is almost 35 today, 34 to be exact and here I am barely 24 years old. However, it is easy to put the age difference aside, when the man you are with appears to be at the same level of maturity as you and wh

Applause from everyone.We both sit on the grass to watch the next dancer take the stage, a young woman who, like me, is dressed in a traditional kimono, but unlike me, this girl has strong and dramatic makeup. Her face and neck are so dusty that she appears white as a ghost and her lips are painted a bright shade of red. The stark contrast between the white, red, and jet black of her hair tied up in a bun makes her look not human at all, more like a porcelain doll placed on invisible strings by a puppeteer. Even her movements are limited, like those of a puppet whose joints can only move so far in any direction.This is Kyomai's dance.It's like a slow interpretive dance with various poses and hand gestures that tell a story. It is the opposite pole of the dance that preceded it, the dance of Odori.As the night darkens, everything begins to calm down and the sakura trees are lit up with paper lanterns, giving the hanami experience a different vibe, one
