Birds chirped at the open window, while a gentle breeze ruffled the curtains. Marc Junior sat there with Hershey sleeping in his arms. He smiled and thought he looked like her in high-school. The way her body seemed to curl around him, like a cat. He brushed some of her hair from her forehead, only to see her closed lids and relaxed mouth as she slept peacefully. He couldn't understand how he didn't snore. How his body seemed to move together in unison whenever she slept. His eyes dropped to her chest as he watched her take a deep breath and then exhale. Her chest rises and falls with every move she makes. Reaching out, he slid his thumb and forefinger over her and took the small bud in his fingers. When he did, he let the gentle movement of her chest slide over his fingers. The bud immediately shriveled. Marc Junior sighed as he twirled his thumb around until it tightened around his finger. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his entire life. Leaving her chest alone, he ran h

"Well, I like your present." Tyler laughed, "No, you have the man." Hershey laughed to herself. "Why did you say that?" This is what solidified their relationship with Tyler for the first time. He always seems to know what to say and when to say it and for some reason, make it work.Tyler sighed, his eyes connecting with hers, telling her something from his heart, "Because Hershey, despite the many times you and Marco Junior were on and off with each other, your love and chemistry remained intact. The excitement that you two shared in the earlier years of your relationship will always be there." Hershey sighed, "Not always Tyler. When his mother died, he became unbearable." "Yet you stayed with him Hershey." "I'm gone, Tyler. It was during those times when he needed me the most." Tyler sighed, "Sweety, you left because you were hurt by the alcohol abuse. Not because you didn't want to be there. I mean think about it, you could have had an abortion and left NYU in the fall, but you

His eyes twinkled as he looked at the camera, "What do you want?" He asked in a thick Visayan accent. Hershey felt his heart drop in his chest, overcome with emotions he couldn't quite put into words. The girl behind the camera giggled, "Danielle says that you and her are going to be together forever, and you're not going to leave her?" Hershey watched, silent, as Marco Fernando Sr. on the monitor stood in the middle of the group, his frame, tall but muscular, similar to Marco Junior's and the hair that made him stand out from the rest of men. Her hair hung over her shoulders. But when his gaze landed on Danielle standing at least twenty feet away from him, his eyes darkened to a rich forest color. Hershey was almost shocked by the passion he saw in them. Marco laughed and approached Danielle. Taking her in his arms, he said, "She's right. I love this woman in my life."Deborah, the camera girl sighed and said, "Danielle you are so lucky girl." Danielle smiled, her complexion dark o

Emily Reyes POV (China, Marco Junior Apartment)A dark haired young woman with innocent features slid a key into its lock, confident that the device would turn. It's always backwards. She turned the knob, pushed the door open. He hasn't been home for over two weeks and she wants to know why. Where did he go, who did he go to see. He traveled without me? This she did not like. He is hers. That's how it is. He is hers and she is his. That's how it should be. Any time you give yourself to someone, they become bound to each other in spirit.

The day Marco Junior left for Shanghai, China, Hershey stood with her arms around his neck, and hugged him tightly. Marc bent down to take back her hug, letting out a wish, hoping to ease the pounding in his heart. He didn't want to leave, but now he had to take care of what in store in China. Closing his eyes, he whispered, "I'll be back." Hershey's voice cracked as she replied, "I know." "I have to get all these things to the apartment, to my job and then register for school. Once all of that is done, I'll be back." Hershey wanted to ask why he couldn't just leave everything behind and stay in Shanghai, but she knew that was irresponsible and he wouldn't do it. Sighing, she held his neck tightly, "I love you, Marco Junior." "I love you too, Chocolate. Keep to yourself, okay?"Hershey swallowed hard and looked at him. Looking into the beautiful passionate eyes, she whispered, "Aren't I always?" He licked his lips, "For me." "Certainly." The shivers that went through her body fe
