Emma Jean looked at him. She didn’t get why he made that face. It wasn’t that strange to make an assumption like that when two people get along well, forgives each other, and why wouldn’t she want to give him a chance when he stayed with her while she was in the hospital. It’s quite normal. “You should close your mouth. I know it’s a hospital and all but it’s open so wide something can fly inside.”
Kenji listened to what she had said and closed his mouth. He ended the call and handed her back her phone. He moved as if he was running on autopilot. He wanted to say something but his brain stopped loading when he recalled the prospect of a relationship with her. Emma Jean just watched him, his movements were robotic. Once she had her phone back in her hand she snickered. She covered her mouth with her four fingers. Her nurse had left the room. “Kenji? How long have we been in here?” She had hoped that would briKieran was booked for conspiracy charges. He sat in the jail cell trying to figure out how he ended up here. If he hadn’t made a deal with the devil. He wouldn’t be here. He wished to go back in time to warn Emma Jean about the woman that was after her. It was all too late. He had to wait until he was arraigned and his lawyer contacted.The cell next to him was opened then closed. He looked over to see who would be his neighbor. The very woman that caused this mess was there. He narrowed his eyes. “Shannon you have a lot of nerve saying I told you to do this.”She gave him a wicked smile and shrugged her shoulders. “Meh, so what. I may have pushed you into helping me but if I’m going to take her down. I plan to take everyone close to her down.” Turning her back to him she cackled.Kieran sighed he wished an officer heard this farce of a conversation. He wasn't thinking about the fact they didn’t have much com
Mr. Smith stood there looking at her. He noticed the puffy eyes. He assumed she had been crying over Kieran. He decided to walk closer to her. “I take it you can’t open your eyes because there are swollen shut?”She turned her head towards the sound of his voice. “Wouldn’t you cry if your best friend tried to have you harmed? Why are you her"He took a seat and pulled the chair closer to her bed. “To talk with you. You’ve known Kieran for nearly a decade. Do you really think he’s capable of something like that?”“In truth? No, but the way he’s been acting lately shows otherwise.”“How so?”“I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that he’s in love with me.”“Yes, so? It would be glorious to join our families together. But I take it you don’t feel that way about him?”“I don’t. He’s pushy. Well he’s been pushy and then extremely jealous.”“Jealousy is a normal human response. I’m not making excuses for him.”She interrupted him. “It sure sounds like you are.”
Kieran's story isn't over yet. Follow the Disgraced Assistant as he learns of his past and find true love of his own. Kieran stood there looking at the towering rides once more. The smell of sweet treats filled his nose. He took a deep breath hoping to cement the smells, the feeling, and the look of the place. This was his final time, he would be leaving this place. Not only was he fired, he lost nearly everything. A single tear rolled down his cheek. A decade he had given to her, and to the park. He had lost the trust of his best friend by being an unknowing accomplice to her attack. Instead of telling her what happened he went along with it for his own selfish wishes.Kieran heft the box higher in his arms. It contained everything he had accumulated during his tenure. Right on top was an award she had given him. "Worlds best Friend." The trophy seemed to mock him now. He turned forward to see the family car waiting for him. The driver opened the door
A few days had passed. Emma Jean had been released from the hospital. Kenji had stayed with her the entire time. Rowan came to visit her, to make sure she was alright. When she knew her, daughter was going to be fine she left immediately. Wanting to leave the new couple to their devices.Kenji wheeled her to the front of the hospital, Emma Jean grumbled the entire way. She pouted having to be pushed in a chair instead of walking. “Is this really necessary?”Kenji shrugged behind her back even though she couldn’t see it. “The nurse brought it so you have to use it. Clearly, everyone that is discharged is removed this way. So don’t pout.”“How can you see me pouting?”“I can’t. I can hear it in your voice. Your voice changes when you sound like you’re pouting. I’d like to see you pouting. I bet it’s cute.”“Only you can think seeing a pout would be cute. You are
Detective Hanson led her to a room. It was devoid of any warmth and color. There to the left was the two-way mirror and only two chairs. At the base of the feet were two half moons welded to the floor. Emma Jean naturally assumed this was to keep prisoners from harming themselves or their visitors. She looked to the detective. “Is this really necessary?”Kenji followed inside the room, leaning against a wall. He spoke before Detective Hanson spoke. “Yes, you don’t know how he will react to you.”Detective Hanson opened the door for another officer to bring in Kieran. “He’s right. We don’t know how either of them will react. It’s better to be safe than sorry.”She nodded her head in understanding. Kieran was just inside the doors now. He looked haggard and unclean. She held her hand up to her nose. A stench reached her before he even sat down. She glared at the detective. “You couldn’t let hi
Kieran twisted his lips in a bit of a pout. Even though she made her decision he loved her even more for it. “You really have grown.” He looked down. “Had you given me a chance, I would have held you back. Reluctantly, I have to admit that he is a better fit for you.”Kenji raised his eyebrows. He had no words to speak. Emma Jean lifted Kieran’s head up. “That’s what relationships should do. Help you grow, make you a better person. I know you’ll find someone like that. When you’re released, I’m going to need you to clean out your desk and never come back. I forgive you but I never want to see you again. Our friendship is over.”Those words shattered him; he knew once she had made up her mind there was no changing it. “Yeah, I wouldn’t want me around if they allowed someone to harm me. I’m glad you’re alright, though.” He looked to Detective Hanson. “I’m ready to
Emma Jean couldn’t stand it anymore, Shannon acted as if what she did wasn’t wrong. Her hand moved faster than her brain. She raised her hand and slapped her across the face. Her voice was loud and irate when she spoke. “HOW DARE YOU THINK YOU DID GOOD!! You should feel remorse or feel ashamed for what you did to me and for tricking Kieran. Have you no conscious? Or couth? You could have killed me. I’m all my mom has in this world now. You would have taken her last child away from her because you’re a deranged psychopath?”Kenji grabbed her and physically restrained her. Detective Hanson stood in front of Shannon to keep her from being hurt further. He sighed and wiped his hand down his face. Her lawyer was going to crucify them for this. The sounds that could be heard in the small room were Emma Jean’s panting and then the hearty laughter coming from behind him. He looked back and seen her bending forwards laughing her head off. The
Emma Jean wrapped her arms around his neck, opening her mouth to deepen their kiss. She moaned while pressing her body against him. The two of their tongues battled for supremacy, they were pilled out of their own little world when someone passed by with a whistle. They stared in each other’s eyes; Emma Jean spoke first. “Perhaps we should go ahead and tell mom. I’m sure she would be happy to know we’re a couple.”“More like, excited to know you listened and humbled yourself to being with me.”She pushed him away and scoffed. “Are you implying that I was a brat before? A snob?”He kissed her forehead. “Not at all, just a scared little woman that didn’t want to be happy.”“Says the man that wanted to destroy my father’s legacy.”“… Yeah, well we both had our hang ups and accepted each other.”“Yeah, we did. I’m happier now than before.

Emma Jean stood there with her hands covering her mouth. Tears we’re streaming down her eyes. She was in shock, words failed her at that moment. She could only nod her head yes. “You will?” She finally found her voice. “Yes! Don’t be ridiculous.” Kenji picked her up, spinning her around. “You have no idea how happy that makes me.” He peppered her face in kisses. “Come with me.” He put her down on the porch. Rummaging through his pants pocket he pulled out the keys to the house. He headed straight to unlock the door. When he looked at her, she was confused. A tiny smile formed on his lips. “What’s this?” “Just follow me. I promise it’ll be worth your while.” He took her hand and lead her up the stairs. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the unfurnished house. They reached the top of the steps. Kenji took her to the master bedroom. There he opened the door and stood just at the entrance. Inside, were Sandra and Rowan holding a dress
Emma Jean looked in the rearview mirror to see his head disappeared. She got concerned and was about to get out of the car when he stood back up. She placed her hand to her chest and breathed. When he got in the car, she turned to him. “You nearly gave me a heart attack?”He looked puzzled for a moment then realized what she was referring to. “I didn’t disappear or felt ill. Just needed to tie my shoes is all. Is this your way of saying you love me more than air?”She turned away from him, folding her arms over her chest. “I didn’t say that.”“You’re so cute when you pout.”“You'll be cute with a swollen lip?”Kenji started the car. And sounded overly cheerful. “Does that mean your going to kiss me until they are swollen from your love?”Emma Jean couldn’t say anything back after that. She just decided to be quiet and enjoy the ride. Kenji knew what she really meant but nothing could bring him down. He had a plan to give her the romantic proposal she woul
Six months had past since that incident with Shannon. Emma Jean had been sitting in her office working on plans for the parks new attraction while also watching a rough cut of a new movie the company had started to work on. A knock came from her door causing her to look up. She smiled when he entered the office. “What are you doing here?” Kenji was dressed up in a suit and carrying a mixed bouquet. Roses, carnations, lilies, daisies, and baby’s breath were wrapped in an elegant purple paper. “I came to see the most beautiful woman in the world.” She smiled at him and looked down at her swollen belly. “You only say that because I’m pregnant and hormonal. You’re trying to appease me first thing.” He handed her the flowers then stole a kiss from her lips. “Not at all. I really believe you are the most beautiful woman in the world. And you are all mines.” She took the flowers and placed them on her desk. She smiled while looking at him. She couldn
Emma jean had hoped that would keep her occupied long enough to get out of the house safely so the police could handle her but as soon as she reached the door to turn it a shot rang close to her ear. She looked to see a bullet hole in the corner of the door’s hinges. She turned around to see Shannon barely standing. She sent a silent prayer up to her daddy for making sure she had a learned some defensive moves. “That was the last bullet in the chamber you know.”Shannon held the gun up weakly while still holding onto her stomach. “You think I didn’t load the bullets back in the chamber? You would be stupid if you thought otherwise.”Emma jean looked from the door handle to Shannon. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she raised her eyebrows. “You wouldn’t have had enough time to load them.”“You want to test that theory?” She stood up straighter an pointed the gun towards her.“So you&
Detective Hanson sighed. This wasn’t an ideal hostage situation but nothing is ideal when you have mentally disturbed people involved. He scratched his head with free hand. “Ok, so you’ll let his parents and Emma Jean go?” Emma jean answered for herself. “No, Kenji needs to reject me in front of her. I have to stay. Just worry about his parents and not about me.” “Yes, she understands the situation so don’t get in our way. Once he tells me he loves me and not her then we can all end this as peacefully as we can. Don’t try anything funny.” Detective Hanson gulped knowing what the end result would be. “We won’t. I’m sending someone in now.” He motioned for one of his men to go forward unarmed to get the couple. The man knocked on the door and opened it. He walked into seeing Emma Jean being held with a gun to her head. Her hands were balled into a fist. He thought he seen something but shook his head. Shannon motioned to the kitchen. “Hurry and
Shannon angled her head to the left. Her eyebrow was arched. “Did you just threaten me?” Her voice raised with each word. He realized just a bit too late that he fucked up. “Shannon, no I didn’t threaten you. I just want my dad to be there for when we get married. You don’t have any family, do you? Wouldn’t you want him to walk you down the aisle?” He was hoping that would make her think logically about it. “Oh, you’re right. I want to be as close to my in laws to the point where they think of me as the daughter they never had.” She raised the gun to her lips while smiling. “But you did threaten me so you need to be punished.” She raised her hand in the air that wielded the gun and struck him across the side of his face. Kenji crumpled to the ground. She hit him hard enough to be knocked unconscious. Sandra screamed. “Kenji? Kenji? Wake up honey please?” “Oh, shut up mom. He’s fine you shouldn’t worry so much.” She took the bandana that she was holdin
Kenji stepped in front of Emma Jean. He put himself in front of Shannon to keep her from firing. He wanted to know where his parents were. “Shannon? Where are my parents?”“Aww you’re more concerned about them than that little bitch. Then maybe you should move out of the way so that I can just end her miserable life.”Emma Jean wanted to say something but knew that it would only aggravate her even more. Kenji shook his head. “No, we’re talking about my parents. What did you do with them? I know you wouldn’t hurt them.”“Of course, I wouldn’t. Unless they said something so disgusting as that thing being their daughter in law over me. Tell me the truth you don’t love her. You can’t see yourself with her?”Emma Jean gently tugged on his shirt trying to get his attention. Wanting to tell him it was ok if he diminished his feelings for her to calm Shannon down. Kenji may have u
They were in the middle of their second movie when the storm seemed to ease enough for them to head back to his parents place. The two of them looked at each other. It was silent except for the sounds of the movie playing in the background. Emma Jean was about to say something when Kenji received a message from an unknown number.[Your parents are really nice.] a picture was attached with the back of his parents in the frame showing.Kenji bolted right up. Not sure who it was or who was in his house. He sent a reply back. [Who is this?] He started to call his mom first. It rang several times before going to voicemail. He tried the house phone it made a loud screeching sound signaling it was off the hook. He tried his mothers cell again. Nothing.Emma Jean looked at him worriedly. “What’s going on? You look panicked?”Before he could answer another text came in. [its just your soulmate. Your parents think im the better match for you now.
