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.
Rowan hated having to wait when she knew what a great couple they would be. “Fine, fine, now that you told me the news you can leave.”Emma Jean climbed over her mommy, trying to hug her. “Don’t be so cruel. You wanted us to be together. Mommy don’t send us away. Feed us.”“Girl, get off me. you’re not as little as you used to be. Shouldn’t you be going to his parents?” She snapped her fingers together. “You should just invite them over here and we can all get to know each other.”Kenji stepped in to stop her before she could get any further into that train of thought. “That wouldn’t be a great idea. That’s more like a wedding rehearsal sort of thing.”As if she were a child, Rowan squealed in delight. “You heard him, he indirectly asked you to marry him.”Emma Jean rubbed the back of her neck and sighed. “I don’t think he did tha
Now it was Kenji's turn to get her attention. He waved his hand in front of her face. When she didn’t respond he watched and waited for her to come to terms with what he had just said. It wasn’t going to be easy. Neither of them knew truly what Shannon was capable of.Emma Jean finally spoke to him. Her voice was shaky and uncertain. “W-what do we do?”“I don’t know. We don’t even know where she is, if she knows where you live or anything. All I know is you shouldn’t stay alone.”“Yeah, I can just get a hotel.”Kenji grabbed her hand. “I don’t think that would be safe. She could easily slip inside a hotel unnoticed and undetected. Haven’t you watched any crime shows?”“No.”“Well, if those writers or crazy people can come up with a way to get to the person they want so can she. Maybe she doesn’t know where you or your mom lives.&
Kenji didn’t want to get out the car but resigned himself to his fate. He unlocked the doors and got out. He was just about to go around the car to open Emma’s door when she opened the door herself. Kemari rushed over to take her hand. Normally he would be tongue tied but seeing her up close and in person made him feel bold. “If you want someone closer to your age how about giving me a chance?” He wiggled his eyebrows at her.Kenji didn’t like how close he was to her. He growled at his little brother. “Let go of her hand.”“Alright. Okay. No need to growl. What are you a dog?”Emma jean laughed at them. “Is this what it’s like to have siblings?”Kemari kissed her cheek and ran away. “It’s not. He’s just a jerk.”Kenji tried to grab him but only grabbed air. “I’ll get you. Just wait.”Emma jean leaned over grabbing his hand in her
Kimmie came in with her family. Sarina and Selena burst through the doors and tackled Kemari. With both girls hugging and kissing him he couldn’t brace himself from falling over. He wrapped his arms hugging them both back. Kimmie laughed at them. Kenji frowned; he was getting jealous of the love Kemari was receiving from the twin girls.Sandra clapped her hands a couple of times. “I know you two cuties didn’t forget your grandparents. You better get over here and give us some sugar.”The girls scrambled off kemari and bolted to their grandparents. Emma Jean liked the way the girls acted. His family managed to keep her mind away from Shannon. Whether she really was after Emma jean was yet to be discovered. Kenji cleared his throat hoping to get everyone’s attention. “Ahem.”Kimmie came over to wiggle herself in between the two of them. She hugged her brother and narrowed her eyes at Emma jean. “I take it whate
Thunder started rumble while they were eating dinner. Sandra checked the weather station and found a storm was coming soon. She looked out the window to see the skies darkening as they continued to sit. “Kimmie, you should hurry home with the twins. I wouldn’t want you to be caught in a downpour. I’ll send some more food for you in case you all get hungry.” While she worked on making several plates for her adult child and her grandkids, she spoke to Kemari. “Are you planning on staying the night in your old room or going home?”Kemari said only one word. “Home.”“Alright, then you need to be going too.” She finished with the to go meals. Kissed her children and grandchildren. “Be safe.” She turned to Emma Jean who looked uncomfortable. “Follow me dear. I have a nightgown you can borrow.”Emma Jean followed her to their bedroom. She stood there as she watched Sandra go through her
Morning came, and with it a break in the storm. Emma Jean woke up in his arms. She blinked several times thinking it was all a dream. It wasn’t until the throbbing ache between her legs let her know it wasn’t a dream. They did it. they had sex. And in his parents home no less. She rolled over covering her eyes. The small movement stirred Kenji from his sleep. He moaned softly feeling around in the bed. He was searching for her. He opened his eyes and found her on the edge of his bed. He scooted towards her wrapping his arms around her. “You were amazing.”Emma jean turned towards him. “We shouldn’t have done that. This was so wrong?”“What? Making love in my parents’ house?”“Yes! I feel like we did something so disrespectful.”He kissed the top of her shoulders then below it. He nibbled on her skin. “They won’t say anything. It’s not like I brought a total str

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.
