Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 26: Not understanding
The smell of jasmine fills my nose, and I can’t help but wrinkle it. I know its Frankie's perfume. Its not the last thing I remember smelling and for some reason I wanted to fill my nose with it again. The next thing that my body registers is that I am laying on something a bit less harsh than Frankies sofa. I take stock in my body. I feel like I have been hit by a truck. I try to remember how I got here. I know I am home, but the last thing I remember was…It hits me all at once the addict, Tony my driver, no not just a driver the way he moved seemed to be well trained. But he said he has been with the company for ten years, so how did he? I don’t remember much after the beginning. I don’t remember because something happened. I was there on the street then I wasn’t. No, I was back in that house with Billy… but then how did I? How did I get here? I search my mind, then I comes to me the soothing voice, the warmth of his body heat, his rich black currant and cedarwood. Jaxson. But why
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 27: Make her mine
I sat there, in the dimly lit room, the soft glow from the table lamp casting long shadows on the walls. The silence was deafening, broken only by the ticking of the clock and the distant hum of the city outside. While I was waiting, waiting for Esmerelda to wake up, I knew she would confront me about why I was there, outside her house, at the exact moment she had her panic attack. And now she was. I still had no answer.I had been following her, I admit it. Not in a creepy, stalker-ish way, but more out of concern, out of an inexplicable pull towards her. I knew it was wrong, I knew it was dangerous, but I couldn't help myself. There was something about her, something that drew me in, something that made me want to protect her, to be there for her, even if it meant putting myself in danger.As I sat there, my mind raced, trying to come up with a plausible explanation for my presence. I could tell her I was just passing by, that it was a coincidence, but would she believe me? Would sh
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 28: The appointment
My morning was weird. I woke with the smell of Jaxson in my nose. It covered the spot where I lay my head and several times, I woke up unable to breath because my nose was pushed so hard to the back of the sofa just trying to inhale it in my sleep. Even waking up like that it was the best sleep, Ive had in awhile and I didn’t wake up needed to run to the bathroom and get sick. Which is has annoying as it is amazing. Then when I got downstairs Tony was waiting for me, he looked a nervous when he saw me. I greeted him with a smile, yes, I was weirded out that he beat the man but something else inside me that felt safe with him. Even if that was ridiculous, I just knew he wouldn’t hurt me. I reminded him I wasn’t going to work, and he simply told me he knew and he was taking me to my appointment. I had a mild freak out; I was worried he would find out what kind of doctor I was seeing but then I remembered it was at the hospital and there were so many doctors he couldn’t know unless he cam
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 29: Twins?
Esmerelda“Excuse me?” I lean up on my elbows and look at her. Surely, I didn’t hear her correctly. She just gives me that small smile that is starting to get on my damn nerves. She grabs my hand.“I’ll go get the doctor. Why don’t you put the gown on and lay back using the sheet to cover lower half.” She gives it a squeeze. Then drops it leaving the room. Leaving me to try and process that I may not only be pregnant but carrying twins. She could be wrong, right? Maybe it was my heart beat she heard and not another baby. Yeah. That’s it she didn’t hear it right. She’s wrong and she knows it that’s why she said I would need an ultrasound.With that thought, well affirmation might be more like it, I get up and start to strip out of my clothes. I have just laid back when a knock on the door come.“Come in.” I say as loud as I can with my voice being as shacky as it is. It open and an older woman pops her head in seeing that I am all covered, not sure why I would tell her to come in if I
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 30: Not Backfire
Esmerelda The force in which I hit the ground would have had my head bouncing off the cement if not for a large hand cradling it from the blow. Two bad that the same can’t be said about my body. It takes me longer than I would like to admit to figure out what the hell just happened. And I only figure it out when the shots keep ringing out around us has Tony used himself to cover my body. Then the squeal of tired and everything goes silent. Everything stands still other than the rise and fall of mine and Tonys chest. Feeling starts to come back when something warm and wet hits my hand trapped at the sides of my body. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what it is.“Tony… One of us is bleeding. I don’t feel anything, so I don’t think its me.” I say carefully still trying to get a grip on what hell just happened.“Are you okay. Ms. Roth?” He stays through gritted teeth pushing up to look at me. I see the pain in his eyes. I also he is struggling to focus them and its looking really p
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 31:The Call
JaxsonIf the earth would open and bury me alive it would hurt less, then hearing her struggling to control her tears and breathing. Shit its hard for me to get my own breath listening to it helplessly on the other end of the phone. I had no idea who was calling when I saw the number, but something told me to pause my meeting and answer. I am glad I did. Now if only she could tell me where she was and what was wrong. When she could finally talk, I heard her repeat about the car backfire. At first, then she said she hit the ground. A picture starting forming in my head I didn’t like at all. I needed her to finish talking. So, I asked what she meant.“Tony, he knocked me to the ground.” She took a deep breath and said the next part so fast I barely caught it. “It wasn’t backfire. It was fire, like open fire gunshots. He saved me but he got hit instead. And they won’t tell me anything.”Everything froze. The very air in my lungs refused to move, all the sound around me with the meeting s
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chapter 33: Why?
EsmereldaThe phone falls to the floor, and I don’t even have a chance to try and grab it while the man starts to pull me towards what looks to be a maintenance hallway. Away from anyone who might hear me scream and not towards the security office I saw near the front of the hospital when I first arrived.“Where the hell are you taking me.” I demand trying to dig my feet into the ground. It doesn’t do much good since this guy is a mountain of nothing muscle. His grip gets tighter on my arm causing the pain of it to worsen, as he smirks over his shoulder at me.“You’ll see.” Well, that’s ominous as fuck.“You aren’t actually a security guard who works for this hospital are you?” I know it’s a stupid question. I really do but something inside of me needs to hang out to the hope that not everything is bad, not everything is going to end in pain and suffering.“Not even a little sweetheart.” And that hope is shattered by his cold voice that doesn’t match the way his eyes heat as he drags
Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows Chaper 34: Only her
JaxsonTo say I broken every traffic law while getting to St. Francis would be an understatement. I ran red light and stop signs. I sped like my own life didn’t matter, because at the moment it didn’t all the mattered was getting to her. I have still yet to look at what that could mean, but I had a feeling I would need to and soon. I even flipped an illegal bitch in an effort to change my route when there was an accident that happened at the light ahead of me. I couldn’t tell you the number of times I hit redial on my phone to try and get her to pick up again just to hear what was happening. No matter how illogical that was.Logically in my head I knew what had happened, no not happened. Was happening. Get almost shot is was happened and I had an idea why that happened too, but this was happening now as I made the drive that should only take fifteen minutes, but felt like a life time. She was being taken. Someone felt for what ever reason she was the way to get to me, they weren’t wr
