Thank you for reading. The next chapter is in the evening, before 12 midnight.
The pounding in her chest was deafening. Savannah was certain she was close to having a heart attack with how her heart was racing. She sensed happy electricity running through her body. Why? She was locking lips with Alexander Jenkins. He tasted good, and she could not deny it. In her mind, she thought, ‘So much for getting over this man.’ She gave in and kissed back, her fingers digging through his soft hair. Savannah’s knees were weakening by the second as they extended that unexpected kiss. Her eyes were closed, feeling the moment. Sadly, however, someone had to clear her throat loudly behind them, interrupting her heavenly kiss. “Savy, honey. You have a boyfriend?” It was her mother, Shyla. “So this must be the special person you were waiting for to arrive,” Savannah’s father, Scott, said, his eyes studying Alexander. “Isn’t he - The US Open Champion?” “Ah, yes, Sir. Alexander Jenkins,” Alexander extended his hand and introduced himself. “Uhuh! No wonder!” Scott procla
“Savy?” Alexander asked again. He and Savannah went from sitting in front of a round table to joining the slow dance in the center of the field. Savannah’s red curls blew together with the wind, her slightly freckled face turning a shade darker. Forcing herself to look at Alexander, she replied, “Alex, I’m scared.” Resting his forehead against hers, he softly said her name, “Savy, I-” “But I know I’ll regret it if I don’t give it another try,” she finally replied. “So yes, I want to try it out again.” Her eyes shut as she rested her head on his chest, her arms around his neck. “You promised you won’t hurt me?” Alexander felt the heaviness in his chest lifted. He was nervous. Savannah’s earlier reluctance to give him a reply scared the hell out of him. He smiled, planted a peck on her forehead, and hugged her tightly. In a whisper, he answered, ‘Thank you, Savy. I won’t hurt you again. I swear on my life. This time... it will be different." Savannah and Alexander danced to the sl
“The best milker goes to my nephew, Finn!” Savannah’s grandfather announced, and everyone applauded. “The second who filled out two full buckets is Ben! Then the third, with one and a half buckets, is… surprisingly, Mister city boy. Savannah’s boyfriend!” More praises came about. While Alexander did not come up with the most milk, Savannah was glad. It was his first time, after all. “Excellent job, Alex! Not bad at all!” Scott clapped his hands. Standing next to Savannah and Alexander, he said, “On my first time, I only came up with half a bucket.” Alexander laughed, and he smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling as he responded, “Thank you, Mister Knight. I studied hard." “I bet you did,” Scott remarked. He directed his gaze at his daughter, giving her a thumbs up. He mouthed, 'I like him!' All the more, Savannah flushed. She mouthed back, 'Me too!' The milk had already been pasteurized and put in gallons of containers. All families at the party received their fair share of the milk
‘What in the world did I just agree on?’ Savannah asked in silence. Her face was burning, and her chest was heaving dramatically. She held on to Alexander tightly as she buried her face to the side of his neck. Earlier, when Alexander asked if she wanted him to sleep on the couch, she wound up suggesting how she could use a cuddle that night and maybe for the rest of the nights while he was in Dublin. He was carrying her in princess style, walking hastily toward her bedroom. Carefully, he lay her on the sheets, and their eyes met. Alexander gulped before he lowered his frame and captured Savannah’s lips. The plan was to cuddle. How was it that they wound up making out? Savannah felt tingles in her abdomen. Her legs could not help but clamp. Whatever sensation that was happening down there was utterly electrifying. Meanwhile, Alexander hovered over her, his legs slowly gliding next to hers. Apart from their noses, their lips touched, parting and nibbling, their breaths warming
Alexander could not believe his ears. He froze in his stance as Savannah disappeared into the bedroom, littering her clothes on the floor. He gulped as he followed after her. On the bedroom floor, he saw her tennis shorts. Suddenly, his throat dried out. Before the entrance to the bathroom, he saw her underwear. He sucked in a breath, and repeatedly swallowed air down his throat, his forehead sweating for no reason. When he entered the bathroom, Savannah was already inside the glass divider, a silhouette of her naked frame was in his view. The sound of the water splashing against the tiled floor followed next, but it was nothing compared to the drumming of his heart. He was undoubtedly anxious. Over the past few days of spending time with Savannah, he realized how much he seriously liked her. Being with her was another level of contentment and kissing her was his greatest high. How much more if they were to make love? Alexander felt the tension beneath his underwear. He let out
[An Irish Holiday with Savy] The pictures which Alexander posted on his social media made headlines, from the photos of him with Savannah, milking cows to walking down green pastures and touring historical castles. There were sweet moments of them hugging and looking at each other with adoration. The photos included cuddling in the living room from Savannah’s local town to their stay in Dublin, going out into pubs and shopping malls. Almost immediately, Alexander's post became a sensation. Everyone suspected their relationship. Those who were aware of their past, especially the tennis players, gave their best wishes, leaving comments on Alexander’s social media pages. [Congratulations, the two of you!] [Wow, I did not see this coming, but I’m happy for Alex and Savy.] Linda White made a silly face and remarked: [I guess I don’t have a chance. Haha!] It was from the bedroom of Carlos’ home that Kate saw Alexander’s photos. Having just recently gotten back from their honeymoon,
Savannah was panting. Her face was sweaty, and she was a little upset, glaring at her boyfriend. She and Alexander were training at Carlos’ mansion with The Devil giving pointers on the side of the court. “This is not fair. I am playing tennis with a man who obviously is stronger than me, much faster, and has better stamina! My boyfriend is not letting me score!” She protested. Carlos chuckled and remarked, “It will help your strength. When you return to playing with the girls, you'll surprise them with your stronger swings." “Savy, babe. I’m sorry, I am giving you a hard time,” Alexander apologized. “Let’s go home and make up.” While Savannah sneered, Alexander winked at her. Carlos, on the other hand, shook his head, saying, “I better head to the company. Good game, both of you.” He glanced at Alexander, asking, “Tomorrow, shall we try having a match?” “You serious, Carlos?” Alexander asked. Carlos nodded and revealed, “Yes, I want to test my limit.” After Carlos left, Sa
On the bed, Carlos sat behind Kate. He pulled her in between his legs. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek. He reminded, “I’m sorry about the miscarriage, but, just to remind you, we just got married. We still have many years ahead of us to have a family.” “There is nothing more important for me than having a family, but at the same time, I don't want you to feel bad or feel obliged to get pregnant right away.” Kate turned to Carlos and hugged him tightly. She sighed and replied, “But I wanted it, and ... It’s heartbreaking.” Pecking on Kate’s neck, he acknowledged, “I know. I wanted this too. I want my mini Kate, and I want a little Devil.” “We won’t stop, and we won’t give up,” Carlos suggested. He leaned back and looked into her eyes. “Let’s see the doctor tomorrow. In fact, it’s probably best that I have myself checked too… We are in this together.” Kate nodded. She forced a smile and echoed, “We are in this together.” *** The next day, the couple visit
