All Chapters of Riptide: Chapter 61 - Chapter 68

Jazmine's POV I moved my hand to the right slightly watering the neighbouring plants, the smell of the food Britt was preparing making its way outside seducing my sleeping hunger. She didn't have to be at work until eight tonight and with Aria at school, we practically had the entire day to ourselves which I was extremely grateful for since alone time between us was very rare these days. A small part of me was also left frustrated since I didn't get much sleep last night with the newly found knowledge of Devin being responsible for the cause of missing children in the neighbourhood staying present on my mind the entire time. A small yawn left me as the sun continued to sit on my skin gently pulling sweat from my pores and I briefly thought about turning the mouth of

Brittany's POV I began walking towards the bed only to earn a sound of protest that had me giving my full attention to her. "We still doing this on the floor," she pointed out pulling me into her gently. "The bed is right there," I voiced amused and she bent slightly lifting me, my legs going around her waist immediately.

Jazmine's POV The conversation continued between us as we ate and I took the time to appreciate everything about her that I unknowingly fell in love with.

Her smile had the power to form my own, her eyes could see behind any disguise I had taken the time to create, her mind could pull the good from bad situations and her heart loved with no limit or restraint, and the fact she allowed me to see, hold and appreciate each piece of her long enough for me to be a
