Emma Jean dressed in black skin jeans and a billowy white top. She grabbed her leather jacket from her closet. Normally she would try to attempt to be more adult like and responsibly dressed. It was truly a shock she could still fit into these jeans after a couple years. They truly were made well.
Heading downstairs she seen that the car was turned in and waiting for her. Her driver got out to open the door for her. Kieran must have told him she would be going to see her mother. It took her about an hour and a half to clean and get ready. Maybe he didn’t turn the car on until he heard her close the door. Either way with the way her head and body felt she was grateful for the car. The driver gave a slight bow before helping her inside. The cool leather seats felt good against the fabric pressing into her skin. She closed her eyes to enjoy the ride. “Do you know where we’re going?”“Yes, ma’am. I familiarized myself with all of your regular destinations.”“ImprThe two women left the opulent home. Instead, of going with the driver Emma Jean decided to take her mother’s car, the Mercedes. This was going to be her first time being in the new car. Rowan received the car as a thirty-fifth anniversary gift. Rowan headed towards the driver seat but Emma jean ushered her into the passenger side. Waving her driver off from behind the steering the left. This was to be the first time in her life she would be treating her mom to a spa day and dinner. The first ten minutes of their drive was quiet, slightly uncomfortable. Rowan turned to look at Emma jean, seeing just how much she looked like Dallas, of course she could see a lot of herself in Emma Jean too. “Did you say you slept with Kieran?” Emma jean was quiet causing Rowan to ask again. “Emma Jean? You did, didn’t you?” The car slowed down at a stop light giving Emma Jean a chance to look her mother in the eyes. “We were drunk. I pretended I didn’t remember a thing
Rowan felt the gaze on her, causing her to turn to face Emma Jean. “He, he, you want to know my secret?” “Yes, actually. How did you keep your body so svelte? And...” Her voice stopped abruptly not wanting to ask what had been on her mind all those years. “I can tell you I ate properly and exercised regularly but the truth is… I didn’t stop myself from eating whatever I wanted. I just ate in moderation. And every morning I would go for a walk. Not the recommended 3 miles, I would go for 10.” “That’s some dedication mommy. Maybe you can switch to walking in the evenings and we can go together?” Rowan raised her eyebrows in surprise at the suggestion. “I would love that honey.” They locked away their belongs and exited the room. They were met by the technicians, twin beauties. The girls spoke in unison, “It’s a pleasure to assist you to day ma’ams.” There were so many things that ran through Emma Jean’s mind that she refused to voice. “N
The twins came back inside the room to see the steady rising and falling of their chest. Emma Jean and Rowan fell asleep during their wait. They tapped them on the shoulder to rouse them from their brief nap. “Miss, its time to take of the wraps.” Emma Jean groaned at being woken up while Rowan seemed to still be asleep. She really was hard to wake up unless there was a blaring alarm waking her up. Emma’s technician worked effortlessly to unwrap her body. With every seaweed removed she felt lighter. It felt good when she finally was released completely from the confines of the wrap. The shower was waiting for her to rinse off. Emma Jean let the water cascade down her hair and her body. The warm water felt good, almost as if her stress were being washed away from her. Just before she stepped out, she wrapped a towel around her body. Both women were doing their best to wake Rowan up. The cool air made her skin prickle. “If you take off her mask, I’ll wake her up.” The

It was math class, a spring day. The start of a new quarter. Rowan Adams had her head resting in her hand looking out the window. The droning of the teacher coupled with the sounds of the rain were lulling her to sleep. Rowan hated math class. It was a useless waste of space in her eyes. She knew with what she wanted to do in her life math didn’t play a part of it. Rowan wanted to be a beautician. Making people feel their most beautiful after getting their hair done. A slam came down on her desk making her look up. The teacher, Mrs. Schroedene, was right in front of her desk. A look of annoyance marred her haggard features. Anyone could see that she was overworked and underpaid, which made her a mean math teacher. “Ms. Adams, you need math in order to work in the real world.”“Correction, Mrs. S, I don’t for what I plan to do with my life. All I need is basic math nothing more.”“Oh, ho, ho, is that so? And what do you plan on
After prom, Rowan and Dallas were inseparable. Dallas received the honor of Valedictorian for graduation. After their graduation ceremony Dallas took her in his arms and whispered in her ear for only her to hear. “Will you marry me?”Rowan was stunned at his sudden proposal but knew this was the man for her. “Yes but not right away. School first Mr. Big shot. Then we can have a small ceremony.”Dallas went on to state University while Rowan went to beauty school. It was hard for the two of them to see each other but they always made time on a Saturdays. She would test out some of her coursework on him. He would give her feedback when necessary. She loved how supportive he was of her. When Rowan finished beauty school Dallas was there to shower her with praise and his love. There was a huge bouquet of flowers in her arms when they left the ceremony.Rowan was able to start her career, while Dallas was still in school. He was a big name on campus. She didn’t think she h
Dallas was shocked she even suggested this as a way to thank him. He only expected her to express her gratitude an move on. Hope sprung forth in his heart. A possibility of reconciliation had his heart beating wildly. Agreeing to it immediately, he pushed his hands in his pockets to keep from hugging her. One step at a time. That’s what he kept saying to himself.After they all left the lake, Rowan met Dallas at a burger joint the two of them frequented when they were dating. It felt like old times minus the lovey-dovey atmosphere that usually surrounded them. Dallas tried to go at her pace, to feel how she was really doing. Rowan tried her hardest to stay level headed and calm. It barely was working. Her heart was galloping, palms were sweating, and she wanted nothing more than to kiss his pouty lips. Lips she missed much.Her next words to him were unexpected but welcomed. “Kiss me.”Dallas leaned over and kissed her sweetly on the lips. “Say you’ll love me ag
It has been a several years since he was forced to quit Kari-hope. No matter how hard he tried to get backing for an amusement park it seemed his name had been blacklisted. Kenji had thought going out of the country would help but even out of the country no place wanted to compete with Kari-hope. He had made his way through nearly every country trying to find some bank that would take a chance on him. The last bank he went to, the teller informed him of his status. Somehow Dallas Scott made sure he wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.He waited to hear if that very man would reach out to him, to his surprise nothing ever came. Kenji received a phone call from his younger brother that day. “Yo old timer, did you hear?”He sighed they were only 10 years apart, “What was I suppose to hear ‘oh little bratty one'?”“The CEO of Kari-hope died. He had cancer. That dude was a beast. He kept quiet about his illness and still managed to work.”“You serious? He died of cancer?”

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.
