“Hey Eron, are you already here at the lumberyard? I really need to talk to you before the workday starts.” He got Jack’s call as soon as he finished helping Diwa layout and display her dishes and desserts on the vacant table of her choice. Even as the staff surrounded the widow and her offers, he would hear his mobile phone ringing and there was his boss’ name flashing on the screen of his smartphone. “Hey, Jack. Sure boss, just wait for me, I’m already walking towards the office building.” Eron answered as he waved a short goodbye to his landlady, as Diwa suddenly looked his way upon hearing him on the phone. ”Just wait a moment, ok? “Sure, I’m not about to go anywhere. I really think we should deal with this now before we begin the day, so I hope you don’t mind..." Eron heard the slightly apologetic tone in Jack’s voice as he entered the large and spacious two-story office building of their workplace. He climbed the metal stairs hurriedly so he could get to his employer right aw
“Look at you, Victor! You’re all grown up! I can’t believe I missed all the years that you were still a baby… I hope you’re taking good care of your little sister, Myrrh...” the Luna exclaimed in delight while holding the older, yet, still very young boy of the couple hosting them, and playing with the shiny, blond curls of the little girl by her side. Virgil looked at his mate with a big smile on his face. Alicia and Helena were the first to walk inside the cozy two-story home, and the second Helena saw the two cute kids playing together on the floor of the living room, she briskly walked towards them to instantly sit on the floor so they could play and talk together. “I believe she likes children,” Hero slightly whispered to Virgil, avoiding at all costs to embarrass his old friend’s mate, but slightly teasing V at the same time. “She does. The kids at the packhouse love her…” V said, in the same almost whispering tone, and still not taking his eyes from his lady. “I hope you do
Who said working in a lumberyard was boring? Not for these three gentlemen, it wasn't.“Jack, I don’t mean to sound like some insubordinate jerk, but why the hell is he here?” the eye candy new hire asked as he approached his superior’s desk.“Well, I can tell you that I’m not exactly happy being here but our beloved boss told me that if we don’t talk to each other and fix this, then we will be having huge pay cuts this week,” replied the dead squirrel as he walked after Eron.“Excuse me, what?” The Charmer snapped at the man behind him. “Correction, Max… it’s supposed to be YOU who needed to talk to him and fix this or YOU will be having a huge pay cut this week,” interrupted Jack as he stood up and put both his hands on his table’s edge.The team leader’s eyes almost popped out of his head, “ME?! I don’t need to explain anything to him!”“YES, YOU DO! I’ve asked around and heard you’ve been giving him a hard time according to some people. He’s practically a newbie and you’re bullyi
"Hey wait a fucking minute..." The Charmer whispered to himself. "Max didn't put up a fuss when Jack said he might have to pay for my motorbike... Why that scumbag son of a bitch, I oughta..."“Eron, what did you find?”“Huh, uh… what? Find? What do you mean?” he stammered as he looked around the basement trying to act busy.“I mean you’ve been staring at that machine for the longest time and not even saying anything. Anything the matter?”“Oh, no, no…” the new boarder answered his landlady, realizing that he was too immersed in his memory a few minutes before. “It’s me just studying the way this works. Too bad there isn’t a manual.”“Of course, there is. Why didn’t you just ask me? I can search the attic for it later after we’ve finished eating lunch, which is about an hour from now.”‘Yeah, that sounds awesome. And thanks for showing me all of this, Miss Diwana. Now, I have more hopes of putting Scorpia together.”“Well, you are free to use all this anytime you want, on one conditio
And now, back in the present, she had finally decided to leave the home that she had with her mate for the longest time. Yet, after so many previous years of hopping from one place to another, to hide from Hero’s past, and sadly, present, just as her friend promised, she and her family would have a future.It’s just that she hated being away from him. or at the very least, hated not knowing what would be happening to him. Especially now, when she knew he would be scarcer since she would be somewhere he’s assured that she and their children will be safe, and he had now decided to pursue his plans. Plans that she knew nothing about…And that’s what’s scaring her so much more than being far away from him.“Sorah, it will be alright. I know it will, ok?”The Ogre’s mate came back to the present as she heard her friend’s comforting tone and the touch of her hand on her arm. Alicia’s smile was sincere, but her voice was a bit shaky as she replied to Helena with a slow nod.“I really, real
“ALL RIGHT! Alright, sir, don’t hurt me! I’LL TELL YOU… I’ll tell you why I’m here!” said the stranger that Jack found hiding behind the bushes of his parent’s house.“YOU’D BETTER OR YOU’LL BE HAULED TO JAIL FOR TRESPASSING! NOW SPEAK!” ordered the muscled foreman as he stayed sitting down on the man’s abdomen with one hand holding his collar and the other aiming a fist at the man he just captured. “What on earth is happening out here? JACK? Who the heck is that?!” asked an elderly man who had rushed out of the front door and into the patio. “What is he doing here in the middle of the night?”“That’s what I’m trying to find out, Dad.”“Sir, I’m just someone who happened to be around here looking for a job. Please, let me stand up and explain myself.”“Jack, son, please… let him speak with a little dignity… But do check if he’s armed…”“I’m not! I swear, I don’t have any weapons,” whined the frightened guy with bright yellow hair as he was dragged from the ground to his feet in one s
Katya gave him an impish smile and whispered her explanation as if she was sharing a secret. “Wuf Wuf said that you’re a nice big bad wolf, not like in the stories, because you will protect the three little pigs instead of eating them.”“Hey, tell your stuffed wolf I’m not a pig, ok? Ahahaha!” the slightly chubby Erica retorted while she put the loaded plates on the table.“Yeah, besides Eron isn’t eating anybody, right, Eron?” Macky interrupted while serving himself some steak.“Uhhhh, yeah… I’m not… that bad…” The Charmer replied awkwardly as he also started to serve himself. “Ummm… you want to join me later in fixing Scorpia, Macky?”“OH WOW, DO I? I definitely will!” cried the young lad, his eyes shining with excitement.“As long as you finish the dishes first, Mack. We already did the cooking…” Erica reminded him before taking a big bite of her steak.“Awww, but I cleaned our rooms a while ago already…”“And we cleaned Mama and Eron’s room so that doesn’t excuse you from washing
“The way you say that, bro, makes it sound like something else happened between him and me... Damn, the hair on my arms is standing on end with the thought. Ugh…” groaned Eron as he grabbed a bigger screwdriver from one of the toolboxes around him.“Ahaha bro, you said that, I didn’t. Your green mind is making you think up thoughts that I never even said.”“Bro, that is NOT helping me and you said you were gonna help. Come on, you can start with you taking out these tires from the wheel rims. These I will definitely have to order because they can’t be salvaged anymore. Damn, whoever did this…”“Speaking of which, the axe we found with your stuff? I originally thought it was Max’s but it’s not his, apparently," Jack said as he started using a long metal tool to remove the tires from the rims.“I kinda thought it was him when I saw that axe. It’s one of the things I saw around the campsite when I went there. He even had one hanging from his hip on the day he told me Diwana was HIS… Fuck
