Iris's POVHomeI never thought I will ever be back here.Xander's condo...Our love nest.Where we use to hide from the world, in each other's arms. I wished but always doubted that I will be coming back here.The nostalgia, I am feeling right now is making tears of happiness brim my eyes.I am back home.Our home."Iris...get in." Says Xander extending his hand to me, while the other held a sleeping Xan in his arms.Xan's head resting peacefully on his shoulder, I told him that I can carry but he was having none of it, he said a few words, and I decided to not fight. His words, ' I missed a lot, let me have my moment. ' I look at his stretched hand, then his face. His eyebrows furrowed, not understanding why am I frozen.I wish my eyes could tell him, what this place means to me, I have lived some of the best days of my life here, and this apartment has a part of my soul. That I left her when I left New York. But I can understand his thinking, hence To ease him I held h
Iris's POV"One more!!!" I yelled to Blair, to bring one more bottle of bear for me. She is in the kitchen and went to bring some snacks. Because from the moment she arrived, we are busy drinking only. "Dont you think you should tone it down " taking a seat beside me she chuckles, as I just stare at the starry sky. Something we are doing, after a long time. Since moving here I was missing having Blair and Kyle around me. I was so used to loving them that, at a point, I felt lonely, and so did Xan. He was missing Kyle a lot. Xander and I told him to make new friends but he said he doesn't need one, all he need is Kyle. And as much, as I admire his loyalty to his friend come brother, I was feeling bad, I felt a little guilty also because it was I who separated them. I didn't that far. And Xam was also excited knowing that he has a daddy now and was excited to live like a family. Both of us didn't know, we are going to miss our friends so much. The cold breeze brushed my
"Are you sure? I think you should once again assess your decision." Jacob, hesitantly tells me, while his eyes roam around my face to know what I am thinking."Jacob., we have already done this conversation. And for the final time, I am not backing, now." Sighing, I stood. Walking to the large glass window in his office, I opened them to let some fresh air come. As I was feeling suffocated by my thinking. And secondly, I don't understand the concept of having this large window and keeping them close. I mean what's the use then?"Have you told Alexander?" "No." My reply was quick, but soon I regretted knowing well, Jacob will surely put his opinion."I don't think it's a good idea.""I will tell him....but later." I lie. I will never tell Xander. He may have forgotten his memories but he is still overprotective of means by any chance he comes of it, he will flip. Jacob gives me a skeptical lol, I am sure he doesn't believe a single word of mine but he decided to not comment on that.
Iris's POV"Damn!!! I am freezing " complains Xander with tattering teeth while we both rushed down the stairs toward our room, shivering.Believe me, it may seem romantic, having sex in rain, but when the cold water does a fusion dance with the colder wind, you realize no matter how hot your partner is, he can't save you from shivering and falling sick, hence here we are entering into the warmth of our room."Serves you right for fantasizing about sex in rain," I say chuckling, while I rub my arms to provide some warmth."Oh yeah?" With one brow raised, my annoying husband takes slow steps toward me with a mischievous glint. "Yes." Stating I turn to run into the bathroom, knowing very well what he is up to."Not so fast, my fallen angel, " wounding his hands around me from behind, he whispers close to my ears, his hot breath, shivered me more when it came in contact with my cold skin, " maybe my plan of wetting you somewhere else, while you are drenched in rain, has failed, but burn
"Jacob...Jacob...Jacob!!!!!" "What?!!!" "Will you stop net surfing? And help me out." I whined slumping on the bed. Putting my face in my palm, I look towards Jacob, who was still scrolling through his phones, sitting Indian-style on my bed. I snatched his phone and threw it on the bed behind me. " Iris!!!" He shouted irritated. But not more than me. Here i asked him to help me out and he is busy scrolling through his phone." Is this how you are helping me out?" I asked, squinting my eyes at him.He sighed, and with a duh look, he watched me, " Iris, I agree, that I promised to be your side, thick and thin. But this....." He motioned to the scattered clothes all around my room," this is not what I signed for." He finished, shaking his head." But you are my friend." I pouted. And looked at him with sad and puppy dog eyes. He sighed, knowing he can't ignore this, cute, pouty face. If I can win Alexander Russo with this cute, sad, and pouty face, then no one else stands a chance. St
Jacob burst out laughing, he laughed as if his life is about to end and it was his last chance of laughing his heart out. Whereas Ava, who was standing right in front of him looked at him weirdly, for a second she thought that man in front of her has time crazy. Her expressions were comic, which I think was fueling the fire of Jacob's laughter because he continued laughing and didn't stop even when tears started gathering in his eyes. Not his uncalled behavior was angering Ava, she fisted her hand and with greedy teeth, she took a step towards Jacob, " Are you laughing at me?" she asked looking at, now a little sober Jacob. Whose laughter died, but he was still not finished. " Laughing at you. Why would you say that" he asked in between his enjoyment? The clear sarcasm didn't go unnoticed by Ava, whose jaw tightened if possible and her ruby-red lips gave him a disgusted sneer. " I think I came to the wrong person." Jacob shook his head and was now all serious, "
"Is he here?" These were the first words Iris uttered after her accident. Her eyes just like the last couple of days still fixed on the white wall of the hospital. Her face was void of any emotions. "Iris..." Jacob sighed. He does not like seeing her friend full of life, like this. If it was in his hand he would do anything to bring that innocent smile on her face, that she wears like a crown. "He isn't. Right?" Not Jacob but his silence answered Iris. And she just silently nodded her head. Not saying anything else. Jacob shook his head. Looking at her with sympathy.While Iris keeps her gaze fixed on the white walls ahead. Her face was void of any emotions but her tearful eyes said it all. Taking a seat on her bed Jacob put his hands on hers.'"I am tired." Jacob is surprised, to hear her say anything other than ask, where her husband is. With her head on his shoulder, she finally let the tears wet her cheeks. "You are strong," Jacob whispers to her while he wraps her in his arm
As a kid, I had a bittersweet relationship with hospitals. Bitter as I had to take awful medicines and injections. I don't even want to go there as I still hate them. And the sweet part was after checkups dad would take me Ava for treats, to our fav cafe. Those were some of the best days of my life. Then dad was not this uptight, he was more of a father than a businessman. He let us have the freedom of our dreams. I still sometimes, think, that when things changed. But even if I get the answer to that nothing is going to change. I recall, once I was suffering from some disease and the doctor said, I will need an injection. I still remember how I imagined, that doctor, to be a monster red-eyed, growing in the skin, and with ugly horns, with a big injection in his hands. He was my nightmare. That day was also special because that was the first time I did something out of my goody-good-girl character. I ran away. Not far though, as my little self could only carry me to the park a
