RIVER Chapter 19
Alec“ALEC! If you want the NFL committee to consider you soon, you better get your priorities straight, son! What is going on with you? You almost got hurt in the last game! Put your head in the game boy and do your job! Other guys are waiting to fill your spot boy!” Coach yelled out.I haven’t been performing well out in the field. I was still feeling down from the incident that occurred a few days ago with River. A special moment only to turn heart-rending. I wish I could go back in time and change the past, but I can’t.Never thought I’d say this, but I’m heartbroken.“Bro, what’s going on with you?” Xander asked, concerned etched on his face. We were at practice and I was sluggish and sloppy.I exhaled in frustration, “Nothing.” I didn’t feel like talking to him or anyone. Jaylen was the only one who knew what happened. I’m glad he doesn’t ask me how I’m holding up every f*cking day or mock me for my stupid mistake.When I told him what happened that night, he was upset. I did, h
RIVER Chapter 20
ZachI’ve never felt happier in my entire life. I’ve had my good and great moments, but this…to be given a second opportunity to prove my love to the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever known is the best feeling in the world. Time flew by fast and during this entire time, I’ve made sure to be a gentleman, a good listener, and keep my hands and lips to myself.It’s been physically hard but invigorating to the mind nonetheless. She is worth the patience and wait.She means the world to me and I’m trying to impress her by behaving, and being a good boy.What I adore is the way she returns my affection. She has managed to make me feel more than just a friend, even if she introduces me as one. I’ll be damned if I mess this up with my possessive traits. When she is near, my stomach is buzzing with butterflies. All I want is to have her in my arms.I’ve caught the pretty boy, Alec, staring right at us giving me…passive looks. I’m sure he has feelings for River and it irks me to the fullest. After
RIVER Chapter 21
RiverIt’s been 3 weeks since I did anything naughty.Ugh, my mind raced back to Alec and that steamy evening. It hurt so much to push him away the way I did, but he was in the wrong. What we did that night was now a mere memory. The image of Alec towering over me with his muscular build, carrying me to my bed, and…Dang it, River, think of something else!?He hasn’t spoken to me ever since. I’ve caught him staring at me several times and honestly, I missed him…a lot. I can’t believe I caught feelings for him in less than 2 and a half months. My feelings were real and frankly, I’m beginning to think his weren’t. He knew the truth about my identity and he hasn’t made the effort to fight for me.I thought with him knowing, things would change, but they didn’t.I can’t say that I wasn’t happy seeing him not talk to girls. If anything, he looked like he tried avoiding them. Yes, I paid attention. The guy was literally sex on legs and so freaking gorgeous. Okay, where did that thought come
RIVER Chapter 22
RiverRight now I was battling between our friendship and this intense attraction for each other. Blame it on all those years of bottled-up desire we never acted on.I never thought I’d have Zach in my arms, on top of me, on my couch, alone, grinding against each other. Nope. This was one of my past daydreams coming true that I’ve had a couple of times when I watched my rom-com. I always pictured the characters as us.His heated gaze intensified the flame inside me. I felt like a needy teen wanting him to speed things up and get to the good part, but he had other plans.He cupped my left breast, lowered his head to it, and gently bit my boob. I closed my eyes, arched, and pulled my bottom lip in between my teeth. That felt incredibly hot. Mind you I still had my top on. I didn’t have a bra though because it didn’t require one. At this point, I wish I didn’t have anything on, but that would lead to other things and I…just couldn’t.Mind over matter, River.“Take your shirt off Zach,” I
RIVER Chapter 23
AlecTell me it ain’t so! My heart beat like a drum. I placed my hand on my chest feeling like I couldn’t breathe. I needed to see Erica and find out if they were together! I know I heard right, him yelling out, “THIS GIRL HERE IS FINALLY MY GIRL!”Heck no! It was too much.I walked fast to class and waited by the door when I saw Erica turn the corner. I couldn’t wait any longer and walked towards her instead. “TELL ME IT’S NOT TRUE!” I growled.At first, she scowled at me and then it gradually turned into anger. One that had her seething.“True! Oh, it’s true alright! What makes you think you have a right to question it?! You didn’t try hard enough, Alec. What did you expect, you didn’t even try at all. You did that to yourself. They are boyfriends now and she is happy. A part of me was rooting for you…you …you fool! I’m sorry, but you are too late and you lost your chance. I don’t think Zach will let her go, not now…not ever.”Those words hit me hard, almost making me stumble backwa
RIVER Chapter 24
AlecI inhaled deeply taking in the chilly air that enveloped me and watched as the warm steam came out of my mouth. It was a cold, lively night here in San Antonio. Jaylen and I decided to come down to the River Walk for the weekend before the Winter Break began.Soon the streets of this aesthetic environment will become busy and overcrowded, making it unable to enjoy the Christmas lights. They hung everywhere creating a magical atmosphere. It was my first time coming here, to San Antone, as the San Antonians call it, during this time of the year since I moved down to Austin. People bragged so much about how downtown was decorated beautifully during the holidays so I wanted to come and see for myself. I needed to get away anyway.It still hurts like hell to see River with him.I haven’t been the same ever since that night and Jaylen thinks I fell hard for her. I’m beginning to think he’s right. I haven’t been with another girl and I don’t want to. If it’s not her then I don’t want to
RIVER Chapter 25
AlecI was so focused on the group text, not aware of the person in front of me as I made a turn around the corner for class. I stumbled into a small figure. The scent let me know it was a girl and she almost fell back. I caught her in time but dropped my phone in the process. When I looked up to see who it was, in my arms, she took my breath away.River’s green eyes were staring right back at me. “Sorry, I didn’t see you there,” I said, still holding her with an arm around her waist and the other on her back. Electricity jolted through my body. She squirmed in my arms and pushed away slowly, “It’s okay. I wasn’t paying attention either.”Having her this way, reminded me of the nights I held her in my arms while I was inside her. F*ck! I shook my head. Her voice was so angelic. “Are you okay?”“Yes,” She responded.She straightened her clothes and I picked up my phone from the floor. Luckily the screen didn’t crack. I peered back at her beautiful face and reflected on my Mother’s advi
RIVER Chapter 26
RiverSheesh! I can’t explain this indescribable feeling inside. Again I ask, is it possible to like two people at the same time? I mean am I going crazy here? Am I wrong for feeling this way? Was this cheating on Zach?Erica seemed to be on cloud nine. She zoned out as she watched Jaylen leave and he was the same, and I’d hoped this would be the beginning of something for the both of them.Zach on the other hand, couldn’t stop glaring at me. He didn’t have to voice out his thoughts…I already knew what he was thinking, but his glare was making me nervous. He acts like I planned these sudden encounters on purpose. He didn’t take it well when I told him about the run-in with Alec in the hallway leaving the kissing me on the cheek part out.Erica was pissed, telling me I shouldn’t have said anything to him, but it wasn’t like me to withhold things from him.I wanted our relationship to be based on truth and trust. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt him or throw it all away for another guy. I

RIVER Epilogue - Part 2
“We’re pregnant!” I yelled out at our family and friends, and they all gaped.Before they reacted to the news, I shouted out, “Wait! Wait, that’s not all!” Alec chuckled. I glanced over to him and mouthed, ‘Ready?’He nodded. I pulled a onesie that said ‘Not One’ and then two seconds later, Alec pulled the next onesie saying ‘But Two’.Everyone roared. The house was filled with shock, cheering, and laughter. I loved their expressions but most importantly the way our parents cried.We had invited everyone to a get together at our home. We threatened every one of them to save the date and make an appearance, especially Jason and Samantha.Guess what though? Jason finally proposed. Sammy showed us her engagement ring and we all screamed. We were jumping with joy for them both. I hugged my buddy, almost bringing him to the ground.“J, I’m so happy you finally asked! I can’t wait!” I spoke through tears. I was truly happy for him because I was scared he would lose her. They’ve been together
RIVER Epilogue - Part 1
Three years later.“What did you bring for lunch, bestie?” Zach said buoyantly.I rolled my eyes, “Stop eyeing my food, Z. I’m not giving you half of my lunch. You always do this to me, you eat yours and then steal from mine.” I said in an annoying tone.“Come on! Steal? Wrong choice of words don’t you think, Riv’s? Sharing is caring and what are best friends for…you know I love your food, babe.” He retorted, pouting and giving me puppy eyes.“Well, then it’s a good thing I brought you a separate container of spaghetti.” I grinned, wiggling my eyebrows.“You do love me!!! I knew it! Thank you, Rivs. You need to show D how to make your famous spaghetti. But say it without her knowing I asked you to. Baby girl gets butt hurt when she burns something or the food comes out bland. So you can imagine how she’ll get if she finds out I don’t like her spaghetti.” He frowned and blew out his cheeks.Delilah and Zach got engaged the year we graduated. They’re now living on the outskirts of Houst

As an author, I would love the feedback especially on what I can work on.

RIVER Chapter 54
RiverFive months later.I don’t know where to start. So much has happened since the day we returned to his home from Las Vegas.First, let me start by saying I’m a big sister y’all! My baby brother, Tristan, is finally here. He was born on March 7th and he’s my Dad’s twin with blue eyes and light brown hair. Baby boy is adorable! My friends, Alec’s parents, and some of Abby’s relatives and friends were there to welcome him to this world. It was the best day ever.Sorry, I got a little too excited. Back to when we returned to his home from Vegas.The time came to say goodbye and it was really sad. Even though we were going to see each other in a week or two, depending on how long the transfer process and packing took, it was still difficult for both of us.When he dropped me off at the airport, it was the longest agonizing moment of our lives. Yes, I'm being dramatic. We shared a lot of kisses, making sure not to do it in the public eye. Let’s just say…I’m glad they had family restroom
RIVER Chapter 53
AlecMine. All mine. I would have her for the rest of my life until my last dying breath.My mouth went dry the moment I saw her in the sexy lingerie. Her tits out, the stockings on those sexy legs, the thong, the whole outfit had me rock hard. Then she began to dance and the song she chose almost had me combusting. Run her like a river?! Oh, I was going to do that and more. My hands weren’t holy though, I’ve made her sin and I have no regrets.She protested and threw a fit when I carried her to our room saying she wasn’t done. I ain’t gonna lie, when she ordered me to go in the room it was sexy as heck and I loved that side of her, but I’m dominant and the Alpha in me couldn’t control himself anymore.I could practically smell her arousal and saw how her p*ssy glistened when she waved it in my face. How can she expect the beast in me to sit there and watch her bounce and sway her delicious a*s on my shaft?I threw her on the bed, “Alec!” She giggled. I began to unbutton my shirt when
RIVER Chapter 52
RiverWe made it to Palazzo Resort. The security there guided Alec and me to LAVO, an Italian restaurant and nightclub located inside. The moment we walked in, everyone was there waiting for us. Even some of Brice’s closest friends and Jaylen’s parents.Brice rented the entire restaurant slash club for us. It had a spacious dance floor and looked sleek and modern, with a mix of vintage and contemporary elements. I loved it!Xander was grinning at me the entire time and I just had to ask why.“Why are you smiling at me like that? Do you find me funny or something?” He cackled.“Nope, I just knew that Alec would finally get his girl in the end. All he needed to do was be patient. You were never Zach’s and I’m so glad that you discovered that yourself. By the way, sorry to hear about your accident.” I was in awe. My lips parted to his reply.“What nonsense are you telling my wife, Xander?” Alec said, hugging me from behind, and kissing my neck.“Nonsense? Quite the opposite, Alec. I’m onl

River“Okay, we’re all here! What’s going on, River? I mean don’t get us wrong, we are super happy that you got your man and y’all are together, but why did ya want all of us together here on iChat?” Erica questioned.I sent them a group message earlier to get on iChat. It was late, but this news couldn’t wait. I mean, I could have done a video chat, but I wanted a perfect view of their faces. Front row tickets of their genuine expressions when they heard the news of us getting married.Alec came up behind me, wrapped his arm around my neck, and kissed my cheek. “Hey guys, thanks for getting on here on short notice. I appreciate you guys making time for this sudden meeting. I’m sure y’all were busy but we have some news we want to share with you.”Zach cocked an eyebrow. Jaylen looked puzzled. Jason was waiting for us to speak. Erica and Delilah were both wearing a smile.“Okay, spill,” Erica said impatiently.I lifted my hand to the camera and showed them the ring. Everyone's jaw drop
RIVER Chapter 50
RiverI can’t believe I’m here! The most magical place a girl could be at, a dream come true– Disneyland. I should add Disney World to my bucket list after this. Any girl who’s watched all the Disney princess movies should understand this feeling inside. Since I was a little girl, my all-time favorite movie was Ariel, but I also loved Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.“Ouch!” I squealed. I pinched myself on the arm as I stood in front of Cinderella’s castle, earning me a puzzled look from Alec. He shook his head and I rolled my eyes, he wouldn’t understand. We came early in the morning to walk through at least two parks. I wore this cute dusty pink oversized jogger set. Alec kept trying to cover my stomach from guys who couldn’t keep their eyes off me. My cropped matching color hoodie was too short for his liking. I mean I don’t understand what the big deal was, I looked cute and it was perfect for the weather.I even wore my white Adidas with matching color stripes to my outfit. My h
RIVER Chapter 49
AlecRiver and I spent the whole weekend together, sightseeing. I mostly wanted her to see the beach and take her to the Santa Monica pier. We also spent two nights alone in a hotel, indulging in our bodies and orgasms. It all felt like a dream, a dream I was scared to wake up from.The thought of her returning home was heavy on my heart. How would I survive the next few months without her? That was going to be hard.At night while she slept in my arms, I thought about the comment I made outside the restaurant at the guy snapping our picture. I told him she would be my wife and I meant that.Then it hit me! What if I make her my wife? What if before she leaves, we go to Las Vegas and get married? I mean we didn’t have to go far, a courthouse would do, but it would be perfect. There was no doubt in every inch of my body that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.She was a done deal, the one who captured and owned my heart. I knew she felt the same way, so why wait? We are not
