It Was Always You Chapter Thirty-Two
EmiWhile Jack was helping Jane, I went into the living room with my father.“What was that about? You were mean to Jack.”“He needed to know I don't like him. He hurt my little girl, and needs to realize forgiveness doesn't come easy.”“He knows that it doesn't come easy. He's here trying to spend time with me.”“What's going to happen when you leave, and he doesn't follow you. I doubt he’ll pack up his little girl and move across the country to chase you.”“Why are you defensive about this?”“It’s the same thing your mother did.”“This is different; Jack is here now.”“And so was your mother at some point. You were little and probably don’t remember, but your mother left us more than once. She left, and she would have her fun and ask for me to take her back, to forgive her, and I did until I couldn't take it anymore, and I told her if she left again, she wasn't going to be my wife anymore.”He never brought up my mother and his emotions towards her were always shut off, he
It Was Always You Chapter Thirty-Three
EmiJack wanted to surprise me, so he had Jake pick me up. Having Jake pick me up kind of annoyed me. I was expecting him to be here, but instead, Jake pulled up and explained that Jack couldn't pick me up because of what he had planned.“How is Alyssa doing?”“She’s doing good. Every day she hopes it's the day she goes into labor. She's just uncomfortable and wants the baby out.”“Well, once the baby comes, it's going to be spoiled. I'm kind of hoping it happens while I'm here.”“Or you could stay. We want you back for good, Em.”“I’m not staying; my life isn't here anymore.”“Your entire life is here. Your dad, my mom, me and Alyssa, Tyson, and Jack. You say your life isn't here, but it is. Are you happy out west?”“Yes.”“Don’t lie, Emi.”I let out a sigh. I wasn't really lying. I'm content out there. I have my own life; I don't have to deal with a complicated relationship.“I’m content.”I’ve was doing fine with being content until I came back here. I was fine with the
It Was Always You Chapter Thirty-Four
JackI didn't get to have the full date with Remi but sitting here with her cuddled next to me is better than the date. She dozed off about forty-five minutes ago, and I didn't have the heart to wake her up. I figured she didn't need to be awake until she could see Alyssa and the baby.“Did the date go well?” Jane whispered as she moved to the other side of me.“To be honest, just having her near me made it great.”“She’s a special girl.”“I know, and no one is good enough for her, but I want to try to be.”“She loves you; she's afraid to admit it, and I know she has missed you.”“I love her. I wasted so much time not being with her that I don't want to waste any more time.”I felt Remi squeeze my hand. I know she heard my conversation with Jane, and I don't care; at least she knows I mean it.It didn’t take Remi long to fall back to sleep. There wasn’t much we could do besides talk, and to be honest, I would fall asleep too, but I want to remember this. I know she isn’t going
It Was Always You Chapter Thirty-Five
EmiPart of me is sad that it’s my last in town, but part of me is also happy. This town always stirs up confusion for me.Since it was my last day, I wanted to spend most of it with dad and Jane and, of course, little Emmett and Jack understood. I told him that he and Briar could stop in and hang out with us, and then Jane invited them for dinner.I have to admit I like being around family, and maybe in the future, I can move back, but right now, that isn't a good choice for me. Over the last two years, I've learned that I need to watch out for myself. I love Jack, and I want to be with him, but it doesn't mean that I have to give up my job or my life.“How are things going with Jack?” Alyssa asked me, and she handed me Emmett.“It's going ok. I'm torn. I've wasted so much time with him, but I still want to be with him, but I don't want to move.”“Someone is going to have to give if you guys want to be together, and for selfish reasons, I hope you. I want you here to spoil Emmet
It Was Always You Chapter Thirty-Six
EmiI couldn't even remember the exact day we met. I remember the year but not the exact day.“Thank you!”“Turn around and let me put it on you.”I turned around and held up my hair so he could place the necklace on me.“I still have the watch you gave me as a graduation gift.”“I never figured out if you liked it or not.”“I liked it, but Lauren thought it was weird to wear a gift that was given to me by another girl.”“I’m glad she's out of your life.”“Me too.”We stood in silence for a few seconds. It wasn't awkward. It was comfortable.“Jack?... I would like this to continue. I'm not sure how this will work or even if it would last, but I want to do this.”“This makes me so fucking happy. I know you deserve more, and I know I can show that I can give you more.”“I know we will have to work hard since we will be living far apart and that it may be harder for you to visit because of Briar, but I'm willing to try it.”Jack pulled me in for a kiss. His kisses always lit
It Was Always You Chapter Thirty-Seven
JackSeeing Remi’s face was worth this week-long secret and trying to be distant. It was actually tough for me. Briar was a mess; she has never traveled, the flight here was a nightmare, the hotel stay was a nightmare, and lying to Remi was a nightmare.“What are you doing here?”“I wanted to surprise you.”“It's definitely a surprise. Was Tyson just helping you out?”“Ty and Grace are watching Briar. They volunteered to help when I told Tyson what I was planning.”“So, you don't regret this?”I took a step toward her and cupped her face.“The only thing I regret is not coming after you sooner.”I leaned in a kissed her lips. I'm not lying to her. The biggest regret in my life was not chasing after her when she left the first time. I wasn't going to make the same mistake again.Remi broke the kiss and invited me into her apartment.“How long are you here for.”“Awhile.” She gave me a confused look, and I couldn't help but smile at her.“What about Briar?”“She’ll be fine;
It Was Always You Chapter Thirty-Eight
EmiAfter a nice brunch out, Jack said he had to run some errands. He said Tyson wanted him to check something out for the business while he was here, and today was the only appointment he could get.Jack having to run errands on the weekend while visiting kind of annoys me, so I let Tyson know, and I send him a text.Me: Why are you so mean?Tyson: What?Me: You're making Jack work while he's here.Tyson: Oh...you’ll get over it as soon as he gets back.It's like Tyson had special powers because as soon as I received that text, Jack opened the front. He came over and kissed my head before sitting next to me.“How was your errand?”“It was good; the deal is still not finalized, but it might be later today. Do you want to go out tonight?”“If you want to go out, then we can go out.”“Good, I have a surprise for you. Go get dressed.”“I thought you said tonight.”“I did, but I have other things planned.”***Jack had the whole afternoon and evening planned. He assured me i
It Was Always You Chapter Thirty-Nine
One year later Emi This has been the best year of my life. Jack and Briar have been by my side since Jack relocated to be with me. We visit our family often. It's actually where we are right now. It's nice being around family and talking to Jack about moving back; Andrew can find another assistant. He even promised me that he wouldn't be upset if I left because he understood being around family. Andrew, even though he is my boss, has become one of my best friends. We are visiting our family right now. Tyson and Grace just had their first child, a little girl they named Annalise, and right now, we are having a family dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Jack stood up and started speaking, which took me by surprise. “I’m not good at these speeches, but I wanted to say how thankful I am for everyone at this table. You all have supported me, helped me, and at one point, hated me.” He looked at my father while everyone laughed. “But in all seriousness, you guys have been here fo
