Mine...Yours Pt. 15

Jemima shook her head, but then gave a big sniff and wiped her nose and eyes. "Both yes and no Lucky. I mean, it's good to get it out, but it kinda sucks too!" She wiped her tears of blood off on a paper tail and threw it away.

We finished with some small talk, kind of hard to know how to wrap up a conversation that went so far from one extreme to another. But there we were. Leaving our neighbours house and walking back home.

Walking in through our backdoor I stopped and Lucretia kept walking, stretching my arm as she moved in front of me. She turned and studied my eyes. I was just looking at her, a smile growing on my lips as I looked her over, from the top of her hoodie down to her boots with party colored laces.

A feeling of contentment came over me then as I reviewed the past few months of my life. I think I will be having a lot of moments of self reflection like this in the coming days! A feeling of incredulity, or completion or something. What was there left to do? I had power the likes of which only superheroes or Japanese cartoon characters have. I have a girlfriend that was fierce and incredibly sexy in her own way. I had fought the big bad in our lives, and had won!

The point is, I didn't know what was left.

"Gregory? What's wrong?" Lucretia asked me. I stared down at her trying to figure out a way to express my thoughts.

"I...don't know what to do next sweet heart." I finally said.

Her nose twitched as she pushed back her hood and hugged me.

"Oh Greg! I am not even of your world and I know what to do next!"

"Oh really?" I said with a grin and tipped her head back to look down into her face. "So what comes next?"

"Now? We just live!" She told me.

I liked the sound of that! So that's what we did.

The End

*****

End Note:

I plan on writing 1 more book in this series, and several short stories knocking around in my head that I need to get out. I had originally planned to not include the ending here on this website.

However...SHE...my Lady, told me how that is beyond being a jerk. That you all have read and enjoyed my work and given me wonderful comments. This same SHE also made that bet with me that I lost and had to write that other story Shifting Ground. I enjoyed writing it and getting all of your comments and Emails.

Since SHE happens to be smarter an me, I listened and agreed. I am putting the ending up, and will trust in you all to help me if you so decide.

I will be writing a review and essay for Mine...Yours and answer all the questions I have been asked to the best of my ability. Some I won't touch on since they are too personal, but I will do my best to answer them all as much as I am able.

Thank you all for your time, and I hope to hear/read from you in the future.

Sincerely,

Payen Brant
