《In Five Years》Chapter 6
Advertisement
She leaves me with my dick throbbing, my palms sweating, and my heart racing a mile a minute.
I can't even focus as the bartender I now know to be Tre tells her to wait an hour before he gets off from his shift, and that he'll gladly take her home for the night. She doesn't even know this guy.
I'm clenching onto my glass tightly as she joins Maya and Katie out on the dance floor, and my eyes remain glued to her body. I shouldn't have drank tonight knowing that I'd be around her. I should have known better.
She's irresistible to me though. I'm drawn to her, always. From those heavenly tits, to her perfect ass, to those legs that seem to run for days, I close my eyes and let out a sigh.
I want her so badly right now. I want to pull her into that bathroom and go for round two like we did all those years ago. I want to pull on that damn ponytail and fuck the shit out of her, yet I also want to just make love to her like we used to. I want to keep it slow and stare at that beautiful face as she comes. I still remember how she looked. Like a fucking angel beneath me.
But that was before she had agreed to randomly fuck this guy. Was she doing that to make me jealous? What I said definitely got to her. I saw her breathing get more erratic, I saw her bite that lip, I saw her.
As I continue to watch her dance, I see Katie try to wave me over.
Katie.
Oh, what a shitty boyfriend I am. I just tried to sleep with my ex, and she has no clue. Is this really who I want to become? Maddie and I have no shot in hell at working, so why the hell did I even try it?

I slam my drink down on the counter and turn to the man I already despise before I say, "you hurt her, your ass is mine. You hear me?"
"Who?" Tre laughs, and he gets a stupid fucking grin on his face. "The beautiful single girl, or your girlfriend?"
Maddie must have told him, and if it weren't for Katie staring at me right now I would have decked him right in the mouth for that slick ass comment.
"You know which one I'm fucking talking about." I seethe, and then I push my glass towards him and head over towards the girls. Ethan is here now, gripping onto Maya's hips as she grinds on him in circles.
There's no way I can hide my anger right now, especially when I'm two feet away from the girl who made me this angry. Katie grabs onto both sides of my face, leaning up to give me a kiss. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asks.
I'm too angry to even speak. I'm pissed because I can't have her no matter how much I may want to. I really like Katie, but I know if Maddie said she wanted to be with me right here, right now, I don't think I'd be able to refuse her, and I think I always knew that. Thus the reason I always make sure she won't be here for break before I even fly out.
But now that it's happening, right in front of my face, I'm so angry that I don't even know what to do. I can't fix this situation unless I tell Maddie how I really feel, and trying to hook up with her at a club isn't exactly getting my point across.
Then again, Maddie is literally about to go hook up with a random guy. That doesn't exactly prove to me that she wants this too.

"I want to go home." I shout into Katie's ear over the music. I avoid looking at Maddie at all cost. The last thing I need to see is her leaving with that douchebag.
He's going to take her home tonight and feel that soft skin of hers. He's going to be able to kiss down her back, and will he figure out that spot she likes? Right between her neck and shoulder?
"But we haven't even been here that long." She pouts. "I'm having fun with everyone!"
Maya places her hand on my arm, and I can tell from the look she's giving me that she already knows something happened between us. Katie is just too drunk to notice.
"I'll bring her home." She says. "I'm not drinking tonight."
"Thanks." I tell her and go to fish the car keys out of my pocket, but Ethan reaches his hand out to stop me. "Are you insane?" He asks. "Call an Uber, bro. You're drunk. Matter of fact, I'll do it. Come on."
He pulls me by my elbow outside, and when the cool air finally hits me I let out a sigh of relief. I'm drunk enough to stumble, and Ethan pulls me up by my shoulders. "Cam, are you good?"
I'm breathing heavily, and before I know it I'm blinking away tears. I'm not okay. It's been years since Maddie and I dated, yet my heart hurts all the same. I miss her. As much as I hate to admit it, I fucking miss her, and I miss kissing her, and holding her, and talking about life with her, and....
Oh god, I am very drunk.
"I just need to go home." I clear my throat and stare down at the pavement while he pulls up the Uber app on his phone.
"It should be here in about ten minutes." He says, and then he pats me on the back. "You need to talk to her, Cameron, before it's too late."
I nod, because I know that I do. Tonight proved that. I can't stay with Katie if I'm having these feelings for Maddie, and until I know for certain that there's no chance for us then I won't be able to fully commit to Katie.
As much as I don't want to have this dreaded conversation between us, I need to. And soon.
A/N:
We love a jealous cam... don't we???

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)

For Grass and Glory
Being old is difficult. But losing the love of your life to natural selection and being left in the dirt is even harder. Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!
