《The Secretary》The End.

Jensen stared at me in shock for a moment before he pulled his hand back and spoke so quietly I could barely hear him. "How? How do you know if you don't try?"
"Because Jensen it just won't!" I was so close to yelling at the tears had already sprung in my eyes.
"Why not? You can't just say that it won't work without giving me a reason as to why it won't work!" His voice was louder, not a yell, but getting there.
"You know why!" I protested.
"Because I'm your boss? Because it's inappropriate? Because society looks down on it?"
"No!"
"Then why?"
"Because I hate getting close to people because in the end I'm just going to have to say goodbye!" I yelled.
The tears streamed freely down my face, I didn't bother stopping them. Jensen stared at me in shock, but stayed quiet so I could continue.
"Every time I get close to someone, they leave, or they hurt me. I can't put myself through that again, I just can't. Jensen I'm sorry, I really am. I love you, I do, but I just can't put myself at that risk, in that same situation again." My voice was cracking as I spoke, and some sobs forced their way out on between my words. I quickly started grabbing my things and rushed out of the vehicle.
The sun had disappeared behind clouds, and the smell of rain was in the air. My arms were crossed and my things were shoved into pockets or held closing to my chest.
Jensen's footsteps were right behind me and I felt him grab my arm and spin me around. His hands were on both of my shoulders, and he stared me in the eyes as the rain started to fall from the sky.

"I don't care about the damn weather you need to hear this." He paused and licked his lips before continuing.
"I would never hurt you, and I would never leave you. I've already done that, and it hurt. Everyday I saw you in the dammed office with that look on your face, the look of dissatisfaction, disappointment, and hatred, pointed towards me, I shattered. Every single damn day. I didn't care about you, not even when you came into the office with tears streaming down your cheeks, but I wish I did. God I wish I did. I was a fool to leave you, I was an idiot to sit there and tell you to suck it up and get to work. I treated you like you were shit. But the thing is, your not, your so much more. You're beautiful, sweet, caring, you're great with Jj, and when you smile it's like the sun hitting my skin. I wish I knew that then, and god how I wish I never made you feel like everyone in your life was going to hurt you. There's so many things that I wish I could do to change the past, but I can't. The only thing I can hope for is the future, the future I want to have with you. I want to wake up next to you every morning, I want to make you breakfast, share a bed, have children with you. I want to make you smile and laugh, I want to grow old with you and never let you go. Your the light of my world, and without you, it's dark, gloomy, and scary, but you light the path and I follow you. I follow you because I love you, and you're the only thing I want. I could never leave you because leaving you would tear me in two, because without you, I'm nothing."

I stared at him with wide eyes. I was shocked, completely shocked. He had told me how he had felt so many times, and yet, I never knew that it ran this deep.
He leaned his forehead against mine, and by this time the rain was pouring down, and we were both soaking wet. His hands found my wet hair, and rested just below my ears.
"Y/n your the one that want and the one that I need. Without you I'm nothing, because your my everything."
Jensen leaned down and kissed me. It was very soft, unsure even. Until I kissed him back, my hands went behind his neck and pulled him down closer to me.
I sighed into the kiss and melted into him as he grew more confident in the action, and his kiss became more passionate and longing. He was warm in this cold rain, and everything about him, including his kiss, was comforting. Almost like something needed but wasn't sure of.
Pulling back, his forehead still rested against mine, and his stared into my eyes once again.
"I love you." He said, with a small not-so-confident smile.
"Oh Jensen, stop being such a dork. I love you too."

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."

They had faith in themselves, faith in one another, and for those who believed…faith in God. This novel tells the story of one American who lived through those turbulent years….years that would test his character and the character of a nation. For Josh Sanders it begins in 1935. A star athlete in school, pro football is a ticket out of poverty during the Great Depression; but when his father, a WWI veteran, is killed during a robbery, Josh’s spirit is broken, and with it his boyhood dream.

A high-powered criminal attorney, Karl White is also a flag-waving patriot demanding that his son follow the law.
