The Last Embrace Chapter 16
Advertisement
Adam watched the group playing Frisbee on the ground. He had to admit to himself that he finds their game interesting and entertaining to watch.
It was a girl versus boys game...
He had observed that the boys were a much better player than the girls.
Thirty minutes later, they took a break.
Nana Aida prepared a table and chairs for them nearby, with fresh lemonade and delicious baked cookies for their refreshments.
They gathered around the table and slumped on the chairs.
Adam saw Matthew gave Jessy a glass of lemonade, yet the one thing that was pissing him off was that his fingers were lingering much on Jessy's fingers. He doesn't like his touchy-freely attitude toward Jessy. It's not an acceptable gesture for him.
'What the fuck? Is he hitting on my girl?
Nobody touches my girlfriend!
Adam grumbled furiously...
He walked back and forth inside his room, anger was building up inside him. He had some issues with anger management but he doesn't care.
He looked again below, they were already resuming their game.
Matthew threw the Frisbee at Jessy, smiling.
Jessy caught it successfully and she threw it back to him, what happens next blew their mind away...
The frisbee flew beyond the trees, beyond the lake and landed on the ground approximately one kilometer away from where the players were standing.
"What the hell!?" Matthew's eyes widened in disbelief.
They just can't believe what just happened, but they saw it with their own eyes.
"Amazing! Unbelievable...you are simply awesome, Jess! How did you do it?" Ivy exclaimed.
Good luck with that dimwit! Adam grinned triumphantly from above.
Matthew shook his head in disbelief. But he has to retrieve the frisbee, he'd better start running now.
Jessy called him to wait for her, then they started running towards the area where the frisbee landed.
Adam saw it all! He sees R-E-D!
Why does she have to side with that dimwit!? His anger was fast rising. Then his heart turned cold...unless Jessy also likes the boy?
He knew that the boy has taken a liking on his girlfriend. He had caught him several times stealing glances at Jessy with a goofy smile on his lips.
He can tolerate the stolen glances but what he doesn't really like is when Matthew tried to touch his girlfriend every chance he gets. He was feeling afraid that Jessy will fall for Matthew's good looks. Insecurity was gnawing on Adam's heart.

He was damn ugly and that boy was handsome, any girl can fall for Matthew.
Adam felt like a thousand knives were slicing his heart into tiny pieces.
Jessy was his everything!
'Jessy is mine!'
He lay on his bed, inhaling and exhaling deeply, trying to calm his burning nerves.
He was trying to believe that he was not thinking rationally because he was just feeling jealous.
Finally, he succeeded in calming his anger. He lay on his bed for a while, no longer interested in their Frisbee games.
~~~o0o~~~
Before the sun sets on the horizon, Jessy went into her rose garden to take care of her plants. She finally has some free time to spare.
"Hello, dearest..." She greeted her plants. Then she was trimming them, afterward, she took the water hose and begun watering them.
Adam watched her from afar, wanting to join her badly. It sucks that he was grounded in his room most of the time.
'I miss you, Jess!' He whispered from above. He smiled at her with fondness.
Then Matthew appeared in the vicinity of the rose garden...walking quietly towards Jessy. She didn't notice his presence. Then out of the blue Matthew touched Jessy's shiny long black hair, Adam's smile faded replaced with a scowl.
What was he doing in there? Don't touch my girl! Adam's face became livid.
Jessy turned around to see who was touching her hair. "Oh, it's you! You need something, Matt?"
Adam continued observing them from above.
Don't touch my girl ever again! Damn you! He barked at Matthew in silence.
Out of anger and jealousy, Adam waved his hand and five small stones start hitting different parts of Matthew's body, on his legs, arms and the last stone hit his back.
Matthew yelps. "What was that!?" He inspected his body parts seeing no real harm, then he looked around for the culprit, but he saw nobody and no one was around them except Jessy and him. He scratches his head in puzzlement. Those tiny stones weren't able to do any real damage to his body so he just ignored the incident.
Jessy averted her gaze at the window above and shook her head in annoyance. She saw Adam lurking behind the window. She knew that he was getting jealous of Matthew, she sighed. She resumed watering her plants, ignoring Matthew on the process.
"Hmm...Jess," Matthew called her from behind.

"Yes, what is it, Matt?" Jess turned around to face him.
"D-Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked.
Jessy smiled at him. "Why are you asking? Are you applying?" she said joking.
Matthew scratched his head. "Hmm, I sort of having a crush on you ever since I saw you at the party. That was the first time we meet. You remember—?" he asked.
"Yeah. So—?" She folded her arms.
"I like you, Jess. Can I court you formally? I want you to be my girlfriend," he confessed his real feelings towards her, he was carried away by the romantic ambiance that surrounded them.
Jessy looked at him thoughtfully. He was a good looking guy and got a great personality to boost. But she already got a boyfriend whom she loves very much.
"Just give me enough time to court you-Jess," he insisted.
She stared at him. "Are you serious?"
"Yes of course. I will visit you here once a week so that we can get closer and we will get to know each other better. I would not rush you into a relationship with me. We can be friends first." Matthew looked at her adoringly.
"Am sorry Matt, I already had a boyfriend and I love him very much," Jessy said.
Matthew's face looked crestfallen upon hearing that his crush already got a boyfriend. "Oh my heart hurts, this is very sad," he said, he massaged his chest with his fingers.
Jessy ruffled his hair fondly, he was just like a brother to her. "Cheer up, Matt. You will find your true love someday. I'm sorry I'm not the right girl for you."
Matthew stared at Jessy again with pain in his eyes. "May I know who is your boyfriend?"
She smiled. "You don't need to know him, Matt."
"Okay, but just in case you and your boyfriend will break up someday, would you be willing to hook up with me?" His voice was hopeful.
Jessy was amused by his offer. She didn't want to give him false hope but she also doesn't want to see him so sad and heartbroken.
"I can't promise you anything at this time, Matt. Please don't wait for me, okay?"
"Okay," he accepted her polite rejection. "We're still friends, right?"
"Yes of course," she replied with a bright smile.
"Good. I will just go over there. Can I continue watching you from there?"
"No problem," she replied and continue attending to her plants.
Adam was able to witness their serious conversation from above. He felt a tightening on his chest upon seeing the unpleasant scene unfolding before him.
He can't believe what he saw. Jessy touched that dimwit's head!
Dammit!
Did she start developing feelings for this boy?
And the worst thing...that Matthew guy was sitting right now on his favorite spot and ogling at his girlfriend, it hurts so bad that she allowed that guy to claim his favorite spot.
Damn! Damn! Damn!
He keeps swearing profanities. He just can't accept that Jessy betrayed him right under his nose.
He picked up his smartphone and type messages in rapid succession and sent them to Jessy.
Jessy checked her smartphone and felt annoyed...being bombarded with hateful messages from Adam isn't a good thing.
'I saw everything!'
'You touch that boy's hair!'
'Are you falling for him?'
'Why is he sitting now at my favorite spot and ogling at you? Why did you allow him?'
'I felt betrayed, hurt and angry!'
'You just killed me today, Jess! You killed my heart today!'
'You betrayed me. I feel very sad right now.'
'Meet me in the woods tonight. 1:00 am. Be there! Or else I will do something bad to that dimwit!'
'Stay away from him! You make my heart bleed!'
Jessy doesn't know how to react. She felt a mixture of amazement, irritation, and annoyance towards Adam's childish display of attitude.
His extreme jealousy was no longer funny! She gritted her teeth in agitation. She tried to control the growing anger in her heart. He has no right to accuse her that she betrayed him with Matthew. She didn't do anything wrong!
He was being unfair!
She felt furious!
But she calmed her flaming nerves. Her friends might notice something wrong was going on with her. And she hates explaining or making alibis again. She sighed deeply. She typed... 'I will be there' and sent it to Adam.
Adam got her message, still feeling angry, he went inside the bathroom and took a cold shower to relax his tense mind.
'Be there at 1:00 am Jessy, or else I will turn your new boy into a frog!'
Adam thought to himself.

Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
