James took Jessica far away from where we were . Reluctantly he left us. He left. James drove Jessica to my house. He knew the kids were alone and it was dangerous. He knew all of that and made the right decision. The kids were the reasons I made all those decisions without telling anyone . My bad decision would have all gone to waste if anything happened to them.
When James arrived home, it was easy for him to go in as he knew I always kept my spare key underneath the flower pot at my doorstep. Aiden and Amelia were fast asleep. It was already so late.
James ushered Jessica in, he cautiously went in also making sure Noone was watching.
” Can I get you water ?” He asked Jessica who was Nervously shivering. At that moment, thinking at everything that had happened that evening, Jessica was choked with regret .
She nodded. James went to the kitchen, got a glass of water and on his way back he peeped into the kids room and saw that they were still asleep.
“Here” He handed her the glass of water .
“Thanks”
“Would they be okay ?”
“Justin and Isabelle? ”
” This is all my fault. I should have gotten involved with Dylan.”
“Isabelle doesn’t deserve all this you know, she is a sweet soul.”
” She doesn’t deserve all the hurt life Is throwing at her. ”
Jessica asked after taking a sip.
“Isabelle is the strongest woman I know.”
“She would be fine.”
James told her even when his mind was clouded with doubt. After seeing how ruthless and callous Dylan was, He feared for my safety.
James? Aiden said with his sleepy voice. He stood by his room door, whining his eyes and yawning.
“Hey…. Come here ” James told him.
Aiden? You were so little when I saw you . Jessica said with a weak smile.
“Where is Mummy?”
“What time is it ? ”
He completely ignored whatever Jessica had to say. Still so sleepy and tired.
“Mummy went out for work.”
“She will be home soon Okay? ”
“Who is she?”
“Your aunt, ” He told him.
“Mummy never mentioned her .”
“Aiden, you have to go back to bed. ”
“You don’t want your Mummy to get mad at me for keeping you up ”
“Off we go ”
James picked him up and took him to his room. Amelia was still lying peacefully on the bed. He laid Aiden down and soon he fell asleep .
****
“How?”
“How are we going to escape this?”
“The yacht is In motion, we have just 1 minute. ”
“Justin, this is it”
“Isa? ”
“I … I… I’m sorry I dragged you into all of this. ”
“I’m sorry ”
“Isabelle , Do you trust me? ” Justin placed my round face on his palms. He curled up my face in his palm and gazed into my eyes.
“Do you trust Me ? ”
“I trust you Justin.”
“I love you.”
“Then I’m sure you know I will never let anything hurt you now. ”
“I promise you .”
The Beeping of the Bomb became louder.
45 seconds left .
“what do we do ? ” I sniffled in my snot and tears. My face was already swollen and my cheeks were red .
” We jump”
“What?”
“We jump.”
“I… I can’t do that. I can’t jump.”
“We don’t have time for this Isabelle. ”
“Take my hands. ”
Justin held my hand.
It’s either this or we ……
You are Mine and mine forever. Justin told me with a kiss on my lips.
He pulled me out of the captain’s house out of the yacht .
We stood at the front, my heart was racing and I saw sure he was too. We held onto each other so tightly that our bond couldn’t be broken by a mere pull off.
“If we eventually survive, it would be our record for the craziest things we have ever done. ” He told me with a smirk.
“I love you Isa ”
“I love you Justin ”
15 seconds were left on the clock. 15 seconds of our lives flashing through our eyes. 15 seconds of fear. 15 seconds of the last.
We both took deep breaths and let ourselves out of the yacht into the sea.
We had barely swam far from the yacht when it exploded. The blast was so huge that it drove Justin and I Apart.
It could have been us. We could have died on that yacht but we jumped. Yes, we jumped in an attempt to save our lives but were we really safe?
Did we escape? Justin and I were in the middle of the sea , both of us struggling to hold each other. The force of the water kept driving us Apart.
The weather suddenly changed. It became clouded and extremely dark. We could barely see the force of the water tide caused by the weather change. It was becoming windy.
The only thing that kept Justin and In touch were our voices.
“Isabelle…. ” Justin yelled out.
Justin? Justin? I gasped for breath and followed the sound of his voice.
“Stay with me Isabelle. ”
Isabelle? Isabelle? Isa….
Justin Kept calling out to me but I was unable to answer him. I was almost drowning. My silence was killing Justin.
I tried to muffle , scream, make a move just to alert him that I was there , that I could hear him but I couldn’t. I was battling to stay Alive and at the Same time struggle to reach Justin.
“Isabelle, stay with me .”
” Isabelle ”
“Just…. Justin ” I managed to scream and luckily, he heard me . Justin swam toward me , pulled me towards him.
I was breathing shakingly and he was comforting Me.
In this means of chaos;the burning yacht that was a file away, the stormy weather and the struggle to live. All these but Justin and I Still found ourselves wrapped in nothing but the joy of our presence. I felt safe even when I wasn’t. My frets vanished and my heart was gladden.
“I will never let anything happen to you .”
He again held my hand and took me. Through the storm and the wind, The chaos and the obstacles, Justin didn’t let go of me .
He held my hand and those vows, those I vows I took on that day were all coming back to me. Yes, it was a contracted marriage but it meant something to me.
Through thick and thin, through chaos and order, through the stormy days, we took vows to always stand by each other.
I knew right there and then that even if I died, I was going to die a fulfilled woman. I was going to die knowing I had Justin’s love and I knew he owned me . All I ever wanted was his love and that I got .
That mission might have been the worst, but it gave me something worthy. It gave me back my Justin.
After a long exhausting strive for survival, we finally saw land. It started to rain. Making it more difficult for us to reach our destination but we did.
Finally, we got to an Island. He still didn’t let go of my hands. I fell side up on the floor with Justin beside me . The rain did justice by washing away our pain.
We both laid on the floor gasping for breath silently for minutes. After a while, Justin turned to me . He raised my hands and kissed it .
“We made it out .” I chuckled with tears in my eyes.
“I told you I’d never let anything harm you.”
” I almost lost you .”
“I had never been so scared in my life. ”
“I don’t ever want to live my life with you by my side again.”
“I love you With all of my heart Isabelle ”
“I love you now and forever Isabelle ”
I broke down in tears staring at the moon while the rain washed away my tears. We were both staring at the moon while we spoke.
It has never been so beautiful. That night, that night was the best for me. The chaos, the near death experience, the love, the confessi, the proposal, everything was all I ever perfect for us.
There was an awkward silence between us. I freed my hands from his grip and moved closer to him. I laid my head on his chest and watched his heart beat sync into my ears.
“I want to belong to you again” I said underneath my breath.
“Make me yours again” I raised my head and kissed him. A kiss so intimate and delicate. A kiss that spoke of how much I have craved for him. A kiss that Changed everything.
He parted my lips with his tongue and moved them skilfully inside my mouth. His soft half lips were moving in perfect rhythm on my full juicy lips.
Justin grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. I raised myself and laid on him with my two legs in between his.
We kissed like crazy, the rain and the wind were In our favor. In the middle of an island, we found pleasure .
It was cold but the warmth of our bodies was enough to keep us going. Our lips were still locked when I located the buttons and started to pull them off slowly.
Who would have thought that evening would have ended with such pleasure.
Justin took off my leather jacket, leaving me all alone with my tiny white crop top I had earlier worn underneath. Our upper bodies were bare and connecting. Our lips had already connected, our bodies paired up with fuss, our minds and souls connected.
It’s been so long since I last had such intimacy. Of course with my lover Justin. This presence, his body, his sex , everything still had the same impact on me like it did all those years ago .
His body was my weakness and his lips were just the best ever. His touch still sent shivers down my spine , his kisses still made my lips and every part of me crave him.
Ah! A night of reconciliation. A night that drew us together again.
That night, a spark that died rekindled. Our love rekindled. OUR bond came back to life
Justin and I made love .
