Back To The Stars: ROMANCE: ALIEN (Alien Invasion Abduction SciFi Romance) (Fantasy Anthologies & Collections) (40 page)

Chapter 7:

It was already seven as I kept sitting at one of the benches that faced the lake. I didn’t tell Elaine a thing about James as I didn’t want to trouble her. I didn’t want to make her concern about anything and wanted to first clarify what James had in his mind before coming up with any plan of action.

I kept looking at the lake and could see the see the same orange boat which was used by us a few days back. It was the last time when all three of us were out in the past and spend a great time together. At that time, we didn’t know what it all could come to an end just like that. That’s the thing about life – you can never really have an idea about the last time. You never know your last breath could be your last breath, until it’s all over until it’s all taken away from you and you have no way to go back.

I wish I could go back in time and undo the mistakes that I had committed, but I couldn’t. I was not able to face the same circumstances or could make different choices in my life. They say that life is all about choices and it is pretty true. Everything we do, no matter how big or small it could be, makes us who we are. Every choice that we make in our life brings us to this moment. Right here.

I could have halted at any other place. Both, Elaine and I, could have chosen any other city. We could have eloped to another country and settled in some other town. But there was just something in the universe that guided us here. We became friends with Janet, and although, she didn’t have the best first impression, but we tried in order to know her better. We gave it a try and after knowing her from deep within, we realized that she was certainly a great person. God had a bigger plan for us and he wanted us to connect with Janet on a deeper level. There was a reason behind everything, but I was just not able to figure it out. I was blindsided and had no idea where my life was taking me. I wanted to take a tighter hold of it and figure it out, but the more I would try, the harder it would become.

In the back of my mind, I could hear Rosie’s voice as she was having a great time during that boat ride. Both, Elaine and I were happy to paddle it and for a moment, Rosie started to believe as if she could float on water. I wanted to go back in time only to relive that moment. I wanted to be with family and wished to take them somewhere else. I knew I had to talk about it to Elaine, but it was too early for that. Firstly, I needed to talk to James in order to know his intentions.

“I am sorry for being late. It was really tough to let Nancy believe that I wanted to go for a walk all by myself. We don’t really go anywhere alone!” I heard his voice as James walked toward me and sat right beside me.

It was after years when he was sitting right there. I had thought of that moment so many times, but I never really imagined that it would be true one day. I never thought of meeting James again and that too in the most unexpected manner.

“Cut to the chase, James. I have no time to know your personal life. Why are you here? What do you want from me? Are you really in love with Nancy or are you just using her? Is this a part of some plan of yours? Tell me!” I said and bombarded everything on him all at once. I was thinking a lot and didn’t know where I was supposed to begin. There were just too many questions and I knew that only James was able to answer them.

“What are you saying, Larry? Or should I call you Andrew? What do you prefer?” he said while mocking me as I realized that the devil was back.

“It’s not funny, James.”

“I am not mocking you, mate. If we are going to have a conversation then I should at least know what I should call you, right? I want to know you. I want a second chance, man. I really mean it. I am ready to answer every question of yours. But before we commence, you need to tell me who you are – Larry or Andrew,” he said while looking at me. He wanted to make me believe that he had changed, but I was certainly having a tough time believing him.

“I am Andrew now. Larry doesn’t exist anymore. And I want some answers now!” I demanded in order to clear the air.

“What do you want to know, tell me? I can’t answer all your questions at the same time. Let’s take it one step at a time, Larry. I mean, Andrew. I am sorry; this is really tough for me.”

“I want to know why you are here, James? How did you come to know about me?” I asked him.

“I didn’t. I know it would be really hard for you to believe, especially after everything that we both have gone through with, but I want you to believe it. Trust me, Andrew. I didn’t come here for you. I had no idea that I would end up bumping into you. Do you believe in love, Andrew? Have you ever been in love?” as he asked me that question, I realized that not only was he speaking the truth, but he also had no idea about Elaine or Rosie.

“Yes,” was all I could say as I didn’t want to tell him anything about my family.

“I have been in love, Andrew. I thought that I would never be able to come out of that mafia. I was destroying my life and then I met Nancy. She came to me like a breath of fresh air and changed everything in my life. I never thought that I would be able to have a normal life, but when I met Nancy, I realized how good love can feel like. We have been together only for the last six months, but it feels like forever.

I have never felt so strongly for anyone in my life before and I know – I just know that she is the one for me. I never told her anything about my past. I wanted to start fresh with her and didn’t want to ruin my chance of happiness. I came out of that life. I left dealing drugs and broke all my association with the mafia. I came out clean. I know it might sound stupid, but I did it for Nancy. And you know what? I can do it all over again for her in a heartbeat because she is worth it. She is the love of my life, man and I don’t know how I will exist without her. You need to understand that this is not about you – it is about Nancy and me. I want you to keep our secret safe because I can’t afford to lose her. I love her.”

As he finished speaking, I realized how drastically his life has been changed as well. I was able to relate to each and every word that he said because I once went through the same phase. There was a time in my life when I started to believe that I would never be able to live a normal life until I met Ila, who saved me in every possible way a person can be saved. I knew what he meant and I respected his decision.

“I know what you mean, James. I have been in love too. Why do you even think I am here in this town? I met the love of my life. I have a wife and a daughter. I love my family. We have created our whole world here and we don’t want to let go of it. We have finally found happiness and I am just not ready to give it away. I know this is a small world. You might call it coincidence or destiny, but life has brought us together again after almost seven years.

I don’t know if it’s for good or bad, but it just happened. I don’t want to have any regrets in my life, James. I don’t want to argue anymore. I don’t want to know the reason behind your stay here. I just want you to keep your mouth shut. Janet is Elaine’s best friend and she means a lot to me. This entire town means a lot to me, and you can’t tell anyone about my past life. This is a secret that you have to keep,” I said in order to make my intentions clear.

“I will. You don’t have to worry about it, Andrew. I promise I will keep your secret safe. I have already let you down in my life once and I can’t do that again. I don’t know what to say to you. I want to apologize but I can’t find enough words to explain how guilty I felt. There was a bottomless pool of remorse and I was not able to come out of it. When I let you down, I gave away a part of me to the mafia. I never got it back.

The reason why I denied helping you was not because I didn’t have enough money or because I was not counting you as a friend. You meant a lot to me then and you still mean the world to me now. But the casino owner wanted to have you as his slave. He threatened to kill me. I couldn’t help you, even when every part of me wanted to take you out of that mess.

I am sorry that I let you down. I am sorry that I was not there for you when you needed me, but I am here right now. I am really sorry for how you were treated or for all those other things that happened to you. I know I can’t go back in time and undo the damage but we can give it a try. We can be friends again,” he suggested for us to be friends again when I couldn’t even look at his face.

I couldn’t be with him anymore. He was a constant reminder of how my life used to be when I was with him. I didn’t want to go back and travel the same road once again, knowing where it would lead me. I didn’t want to regret my decision and decided not be friends with him again.

“I can’t, James. I can’t pretend that nothing really happened. You were not there for me. You got me into all that mess. This is it for me. This is how I will remember you for the rest of my life. The universe has brought us here once again but I don’t want to build that bridge because I know where it will take me again.

Feel free to stay in this town. Attend Janet’s wedding and make as many friends as you want to, but you can’t tell them a thing about me or Elaine. No one can know about my past, James. If you tell even your girlfriend about me, then the consequences would be dreadful. I hope I have myself clear. Have a pleasant stay!” I said in order to make my intentions clear and got up.

“Larry! Come on, man! Don’t be like this, we have a history!” he said in order to make me stop.

“You had a history with Larry and that man is dead now,” I said without even looking back, knowing that I was not visiting that road again. I had an enough share of miseries for one lifetime and I had no intentions of playing with fire.

Chapter 8:

When I came back to home, Elaine already had a bunch of questions. I was gone for the whole day as I didn’t want to face Elaine. I knew that I won’t be able to hide my feelings, but at the same time, I didn’t want to trouble her as well without knowing the reason behind James’ visit.

“What is wrong? Don’t tell me that it’s nothing, Andrew. Something is bothering you. You were gone for and your phone was switched off. What is happening? Is everything alright?” she asked me the moment I stepped in.

“Where is Rosie?” I asked her, as I didn’t want to have that conversation in front of her. I could never let her know about our past. I wanted to set a good example in front of her. I wanted her to look up to her parents, which would never happen after knowing all those things that we have done in the past.

“She is asleep. I didn’t let her know anything about you. I just told her that you are out, running an errand regarding the wedding. Don’t worry about her,” she said as she walked towards me and rubbed her hand against my chest.

“What’s wrong?” she asked me once again.

“It’s James. He is here. I thought that we were able to put our past behind and start our life once again. We can run from all those drugs and murder, Elaine, but we can’t run away from ourselves. We can’t pretend that we were no longer those horrible people. We did bad things. We both killed people and I don’t know how Rosie will react if she would realize that her parents were murderers. We can’t run away anymore, Elaine. James is here!” I said and told her everything about the recent incident.

I let her know about my recent meeting with James and how he had fallen in love with Nancy. I filled her in and answered every question of her honesty. I knew that we were supposed to come up with a plan and I couldn’t do it without Elaine’s support. Together, we were supposed to think of something really fast.

“I need to know what to do now? What are we supposed to do? This is too big of a risk, Elaine!” I said in order to let her know my concern.

“Do you trust him? Do you think that he will keep our secret safe?” she asked me and for a moment, I didn’t really know what to do. There was nothing to add and I only kept looking at her with my mouth wide opened.

“I don’t know,” was all I could come up with.

“I used to trust him a lot, but he betrayed me in the worst possible way. I love he is in love with Nancy. I can see how much he loves her. The way he talks about her – it's different. You can really see it in his eyes, how concerned he is about Nancy. I want to trust him, I really do. But it’s James I am talking about. How am I supposed to trust her, Elaine? What am I supposed to do?” I was baffled and didn’t know how to come out of the entire mess.

“We will just take a leap of faith then! Sometimes we need to trust our enemy, Andrew. There is an unwritten code in every kind of war. There are some lines that even enemies don’t cross. It doesn’t matter how bad things were between the two of you, but you need to understand that it happened seven years ago. You both were different individuals back then and you have certainly come a long way.

Just see and look at this world around you. You created this. We created this together, Andrew. We have two options now. We can run away from this place. We can start a whole new life once again by eloping and finding a new hope. It won’t be that tough. We have done it once and we can do it again. We can give up and leave or we can fight. The second option is to stay and trust James,” she said as she made me sit on the couch and gave me some water to drink.

“Do you think it’s a good option – to trust him?” I asked her. The thought of leaving the town didn’t really appeal me. We were able to start our life once again, but I didn’t want to do it the second time. I knew it would soon become a pattern and we would spend our whole life running from one place to another.

“Do you we have any other option, Andrew? Can you drop everything we have built here right now and leave with Rosie? If you think you would be able to do that, then I am with you. I won’t ask a single question. I will simply wrap Rosie in my arms and will leave with you. But do you want to do this?” she asked me, already knowing my answer.

“No. I can’t do this. I don’t want to do this.”

“Then we have just one option and that is to trust James. I know you two have had differences in the past, but maybe this is happening for a reason. Maybe, god wanted you to meet James once again so that you could see your past once again. You are supposed to forgive him. Do this, not for him, but for yourself. You need to have some faith in him, Andrew. Everything is going to be alright. We have less a wedding in two days. We should concentrate on that and should try to have a great time with our friends instead of worrying about James. What do you think?”

As Elaine made me explain why trusting James was a good choice, I felt blessed to be with her. I kept looking at her beautiful face and couldn’t stop myself from kissing her. I simply leaned towards her as I locked my lips with hers and shared an amazing moment.

“Yes. You are right. Let’s concentrate on the wedding,” I said as I took her blouse off and started to kiss her passionately.

We both were aroused and had a tough day. When we woke up that day, we never thought that it would make us take one of the toughest decisions of our lives. I finally knew that Wimberley was not just a town for me. I was in my home and I didn’t want to leave it. Elaine made me realize the significance of home and as I sat beside her, I wanted to forget the whole damn world.

We both had a tough day and we wanted to end it with some beautiful memories of each other. I kept kissing her in order to feel the warmth of her tongue. I loved how perfectly we used to kiss each other, completing each other in the most flawless way. Our tongues danced together as I tip-toed my fingers towards her bra and unhooked it.

It fell on the ground and I welcome her round cup with my hands. I started to squeeze them wildly and tasted them with my tongue. The moment our lips parted ways, she unbuttoned my shirt only to see my body. She was getting horny with every passing moment and kept pressing her body towards me while feeling the pleasure of the moment.

“This is exactly what I needed to end this day!” I said as I pinched her nipples to make them stand. They became erect and I could know how aroused Elaine was getting with my moved. I took her skirt off and left her body in just her panties. I went all the way towards her breasts and started to suck them passionately.

“Yes! That’s right. Did I tell you how much I love your touch!” she said as I kept circling my tongue around her nipples. I finally took her breasts in my mouth and decided to reply her with my actions instead.

I could taste herd delicious breasts inside my mouth and I was pretty sure that she was also having the time of her life. She didn’t want me to stop and I had no intentions to halt the party in the middle as well. I kept licking her breasts and made them red by biting her nipples wildly.

She unbuttoned my denim jeans and let my black underwear go with it at the same time. I was completely naked and could feel her warm hands touching all over my body. She gradually moved towards my dick and started to massage it while I kept sucking her breasts.

“Oh! Do you feel it! Yes!” she said as she started to massage my dick and made it erect with her amazing moves. The moment I sensed her hands stroking my dick, it got erect. My cock was turning long and hard with every passing moment and I was getting in the heat of the moment.

“Oh God! I can melt in your mouth!” she said as I kept sucking her breasts. I loved how she sounded and was all set to melt in my mouth. At that time, we both were able to control each other in the most seductive way. Her breasts were inside my mouth and I was having her taste on my tongue. She was able to enhance my sex drive with her single touch as he kept stroking my dick and gave me an amazing handjob.

After sucking her breasts for a long time, I finally let go of them and looked at her.

“Now let me treat you!” she said as started to kiss my chest. I took her panties off and slapped her ass only to turn her on.

“Oh! You are being very naughty today!” her seductive voice only turned me on and made my dick erect at its prime position.

“Really? What will you do with this bad boy?” I asked her in order to provoke her.

“I am going to teach you a lesson!” she said and squeezed my dick hard.

“Fuck! I am ready for it!” I knew what she had it mind and my cock couldn’t wait to melt in her mouth.

Gradually, she moved all the way down from my chest to my dick. She licked my balls while her hands were still stroking my dick. Finally, she touched the tip of my dick with her tongue and took it in. The moment my cock entered in her mouth, it felt like as if I would get a thousand orgasms in one. My cock was surrounded by the warmth of her mouth and I didn’t want to feel anything else.

It was like as if all the other senses in my body got elevated and I simply didn’t want that feeling to stop. There was an electrifying sensation that was coming from my dick and touched each and every part of my body. I could feel her tongue all over my cock as he kept sucking it without taking any break in between.

“Yes! Fuck! Yes!” I kept moaning out loud as Elaine made me reach the tip of my pleasure zone. We both have bad sex plenty of times, but that was undoubtedly one of the best blowjobs that I have ever got from her. She finally took my entire dick in her mouth and gave me a deep throat suck.

I didn’t want it to stop at all. I was floating in a state of utter bliss and wanted to live each and every moment of it to its best. My dick was beating hard a thick stream of blood entered it and made me even more orgasmic. I knew she was able to sense it as well, knowing that I won’t be able to hold it anymore.

“Elaine! Holy fuck! I can’t hold it anymore!” I said in order to let her know that I was not able to hold myself. I was about to ejaculate anytime and wanted to inform her. She had no intentions to stop which made me believe that she wanted to taste my masculinity this time.

As she took my dick in and gave me one more stroke, I realized that I won’t be able to stop it anymore. I closed my eyes and at that moment, I could feel a strong intensity in each and every inch of my dick. Every cell of my cock was able to melt in her mouth as her warmth was surely too hard to handle.

I didn’t stop myself anymore and felt the intensity of a thousand orgasms in one as I ejaculated in her mouth and made her taste my masculinity. She took it all in at that moment as if she was merely waiting for me to cum. She licked each and every drop of it from my dick and then finally lay down on the couch.

“That was… amazing!” I said in order to boost her morale. She didn’t say anything to that. She just looked at me and smiled, knowing that she did well.

I moved towards her and kissed her several times to make her horny once again. I knew it was my turn to treat her and I wanted to set just the right mood. I took her breasts in my hands and kept squeezing them without taking a break. I started to pinch them which made her nipples erect. I knew that she was getting aroused and it was my time to make her reach her orgasm.

I started to lick her earlobe and then went all the way to her bosom. Her cups were perfect and just the single look of them was able to give me an erection one more time. I went down from her breasts to her stomach and measured each and every cell of her skin in between with my tongue. I stayed at her navel for some time and circled it with my tongue while my hands were on her vagina. I started to rub with my with fingers and that move certainly did a wonder.

“Wow! Yes! Oh God, Andrew!” she started calling my name out loud, letting me know how much she was enjoying that gesture. She was getting hornier with every move that I was making. I went straight to her vagina and started to circle my tongue around it. I had a warm and sensitive tongue that was able to reach inside her hole without any trouble, but I didn’t want to do that right away. I wanted to tease her for a while by circling it all around her labia.

We were still in our living room and were having an amazing time on our couch. We knew that Rosie was already asleep and that we could do it anywhere we want. We were just too lazy to take it to the bed and wanted to have some great sex right there on the couch.

I kept circling my tongue around her vagina and then pressed it inside. The moment it hit the inner walls of her vagina, it set her entire body on fire. She could feel her entire body experiencing an orgasmic feel and she certainly didn’t want the spark to die. I pushed my tongue inside of her and touched the walls of her vagina that only made her reach her threshold. I took my tongue out and started to circle it all over again.

I didn’t want to halt at all, knowing that every move that I made pushed her boundaries and made her feel an unforgettable experience. My tongue was wet and I was able to give her a surreal pleasure. As I pushed it inside, I could taste her on the tip of my tongue.

“Yes! Oh God! I can’t stop!” she screamed at the top of her voice as she reached her threshold and climaxed on my mouth.

I took it all in and made her redefine the boundaries of her pleasure with my single touch. I finally let go of her vagina and then moved all the way up to kiss her juicy lips one more time. I knew I was able to satisfy her by giving her the best of oral pleasure as I could see it on her face.

“That was insane!” she said as we parted our lips and let me know how much she enjoyed it.
