Part 2/ Breaking up with Shanks but realizing you still have feelings for him

Okay I’m really sorry this took so long. But I hope you guys like it!

Warnings: Sad emotions I guess(?), childbirth

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3

Your leg kept bouncing up and down in a nervous manner, you were sat in the doctors office. `Soo…you`re now in your third semester. To me everything looks just fine, have something been bothering you?`. You looked at the woman, then shook your head. She smiled at you apologetically, because she knew, everyone knew. You were alone, no man at your side. Everyone kept giving you these looks, these pity full looks, there was this rumor that your man left to sea anf left you alone. The worst part of it all was that he didn’t leave you. You left him. “Thanks doctor.” You smile at the middle aged woman and stand up. “Take care” she smiles and you walk out of the hospital, you’re not headed home yet. It doesn’t even feel like home, so you take a seat on the beach. Your back hurting from the baby growing inside you. The baby is strong and healthy just like their father. You sigh and close your eyes. You miss him so much.

“Y/n!” You turn your head an annoyed sigh escaping you. “What?!” You shout from your lounger, you just layed down to tan a bit but your big baby of a boyfriend didn’t seem to be able to survive a second without you. “Where are my favourite pants?!” His scream seems panicked. You sigh again and stand up, with an annoyed expression you walk towards your shared cabin. “Can’t imagine how he would survive without you” jokes Yasopp and you smile a bit. You arrive at your shared cabin. Shanks is rampaging trough his closet in the search of his favourite pants you know he is about to visit whitebeard, you never stood on deck of the moby dick but the giant of a man still scared you. “They are hanging on deck! I washed them yesterday for you!” You cross your arms looking at your boyfriend. “Ooooh!” He gives you a sheepish smile. “Sorry love! Can’t imagine what I would do without you!” He presses a kiss to your temple and rushes to deck. You sigh and start organising his clothes again.

You open your eyes again when you feel the baby kick, you loved coming to the beach to think about your good times with Shanks. You still don’t understand yourself, what has gotten into you. How could you break his heart and your own so easily. Of course Shanks was a lot of trouble and of course dating him was tiring, but if you couldn’t handle such things, were you really to love such a free soul? You sigh again and stand up. Your swollen feet carry you to your ‘home’. Arriving home you take a seat on the sofa, you body hurts, being pregnant really is exhausting you. Another sigh escaped you, a habit you developed over the months of pregnancy.

You’re exhausted.

“Push! Push!” Screams your midwife. “AUGH!!” You scream and push. Another scream escapes you and another. You cannot think of anything but your desire for Shanks. For him to hold your hand and be here for the birth of his child. Another scream. Minutes feel like hours your body aches from pain, it hurts. Feels like every bone in your body is breaking over and over again. “AHH!” You scream again. The minutes pass and the pain finally stills, you hear your baby scream. “Congratulations! It’s a girl!” Says your midwife and puts your red baby on your chest. She’s still all dirty and covered in something and she screams with her eyes closed, but you can’t help but smile as you hold her. Your little bundle of joy, your little daughter. She has this bright red hair, just like her father. You smile and sob.

You’re happy.

“Come on say it! Say ‘ma-ma’ “ you look down at your little daughter. She’s laying on your lap while you play with her and want her to say mama. She’s four months old and just can’t stop blabbering, she truly is like her father. So active and eager to explore. You smile at her again. Her red hair is down in two cute piggy tails while she wears a pink onesie. She truly is the spitting image of her father only her eyes are yours. You pick her up. “Time to sleep don’t ya think?” You smile at your daughter again and carry her to her little bed. You woo her into slumber and walk away from her room, shutting the door silently. You sit in the kitchen, rethinking your life choices as per usual. You cannot stop thinking about Shanks and how he missed so much of his daughters life already and you know if you call him he won’t forgive you but you should let him know of his child. The debate inside of you going back and forth. You just can’t call him. You stand up and walk into your daughters room, you lay down in her bed and press her small body against yours as you silently cry.

You’re conflicted.

“Mama!” Your little girl finally says it aside from her blubber. You smile everytime she says it. “What is it my sunshine?” You ask as you dry your hands from doing the dishes. You come to sit on the sofa she’s laying on. She laughs and reaches for you with her little hands, desiring to be picked up and you oblige. You hold her in your arms. “You missed your mommy?” You ask in a teasing voice. “Mama!” She says again and you can’t help but smile. You put your babygirl back down and walk back into the kitchen. You do the dishes and glance at the transporter snail seated on the windowsill, you can call him. “Just promise me. You will call me if anything that brings you in danger happens. Please promise me.” You promised him, but the promise didn’t include telling him about a pregnancy right? You sigh, guilt plaguing your sould. You hate yourself for what you are doing for not giving your baby a father and complete family and for not telling him. He deserves to know, you repeat that to yourself day to day and still you cannot gather the courage to call him. To tell him.

You’re afraid.

It’s night. You cannot sleep, your now 5 month old daughter is deep asleep in her bed. You sit in the kitchen and stare at the letter you received. You cannot believe the sender. You’re scared to open. It’s from Benn. You cannot gather the courage to open the letter. Does he know of the baby? Did something happen? Are they coming for you? Is he just checking up on you? After one final sigh you take a deep breath and open the letter. It’s short. Relief washes over you as you recognise Benns handwriting, so it’s not from Shanks.

Dear Y/n,

I’m not good with formalities so I won’t ask how you’re doing. Not after what you did. I write this letter to let you know that Shanks is devastated. He drinks like never before, he’s truly a mess without you. We don’t know what to do to bring back our captain. The one who enjoyed life at sea. The one who wanted to explore the world and the one that loved you. He loved and still loves you, so I write this letter with one request. Call him. Bring us back the captain that we miss.

A shakky breath escapes you. He doesn’t hate you? You read over the letter a few more times. You start crying. You’re a mess, guilt eats you from the inside and so you collect yourself and go over to the kitchen. You take the transporter snail with you to the sofa. After a few minutes of hesitation you call. You don’t know what you will say. If you will tell him everything or not. You just want to give Benn what he asked. The seconds pass and you’re scared of him picking up. You wanna stop and just break off the call when suddenly you hear him picking up. Silence. Neither of you speaks, but you gather the courage. “Shanks?” You say in a shakky voice. “Yes? Y/n? Are you in danger?” Your heart fills with so much emotion when you hear his voice, tears escape your eyes. “No no, I’m fine.” You say in your shakky voice. “Are you crying?” He asks, he sounds tired. You can’t forgive yourself, you have to be honest with him. “Yes” “Why? What’s the matter?” You take a few deep breaths. “Uhm..how have you been doing?” You decide to ask him that, you truly want to know. “Well..I could lie and say I’m fine but I’m not. I miss you” silence again. You hear him shuffle and then you hear him purring liquid. “Please don’t drink” you say “Why not?” He asks as a dry chuckle escapes him. “Not like you really care..” he mutters and more tears escape you. “That’s not true” you say and hear him chuckle again. “Why did you leave me then ?” You knew you hurt him. Badly. You should have never left. “Shanks. I’m not calling to ask for forgiveness and for you to take me back. I think we both suffered from my dumb decision. I-“ he cuts you off. “Both? How did you suffer? Did you have fun alone? Met someone cute? Be honest are you calling out of pity?” You sigh. “Shanks, stop drinking please.” “Why? Not like you care.” You cry more at his words. You hurt him, so he tries to hurt you. “Shanks this is serious” you say still in a shakky voice. “Tell me then” he says and you take a few deep breaths. You stabilise your breathing. “Please don’t hate me.” You plead and he only hums. “You’re a father” Complete silence until his glass breaks you flinch from the sound. “Are you alright?” You ask Shanks. He doesn’t answer, you only hear him calling for Benn, then he hangs up. You’re in shock. Is he headed here? What is going on? Is he gonna take your daughter away? What is he planning. You walk to your daughters room. You lay in her baby bed once again. You hug her tight.

You’re scared.

Your Terms, Not Mine (Part 2)

Edited-ish. ~1.08k words

(Part 1)

JJ looks up from where he casually leans against his bike when you pull into the parking lot. Your headlights briefly illuminate him. Once you are in park, your car door is opened, and he smirks at you as he leans against the frame of your car. “Feel like a walk on the beach?”

You frown at him. “Don’t you have a group of friends waiting on you?”

He shrugs. “They’ll be fine without me.”

You nod once before glancing back at him. JJ frowns when he notices the faraway look in your eyes.

“What happened?”

You shrug. “Nothing. Do you have it?”

He pulls a small bag out of his pocket and holds it out to you. You fish out the cash and pass it to him. He deposits the bag of weed into your hand, and you hold it tightly while huffing out a breath.

“Anything else?” He asks. His hand moves to the handle of the door. It is an unspoken offer from him like it always is, and this will be one of the few times you take him up on his offer.

You bite your lip, cheeks warming as you exhale. “Are you sure?”

He shrugs and reaches to guide you out of the car. His hand warm around yours when he closes the door of your car. “A walk on the beach will cheer you up.”

Your smile is tight, clearly fake, and he notices. You ignore the concern in his eyes and lead the way to the beach. The sand promises to be just warm enough after baking in the sun all day. The waves crashing into the shore will be louder and more relaxing, without all the tourists crowding the beach.

Once you are both settled next to the other on the sand, he brushes his hand through your hair that hangs over your shoulder. “What happened?”

You bite your lip and close your eyes as you confess both your low and high of the night. “Rafe got his way tonight. And I didn’t hate it.”

JJ’s head drops, and he groans. “Again?”

You nod, closing your eyes as a tear escapes and disappears down your cheek.

“Fuck, Cupcake.”

“I know,” you whisper, hands touching your face to wipe away any more tears before you meet his gaze. “I’m fucked up, Maybank. I warned you that when we became friends.”

He sighs before taking the weed. “I’m just as equally fucked up.”

You scoff, digging your fingers into the sand. “You don’t let Kiara use you though. Not like I let him.”

“But I do,” he murmurs, shifting his attention from rolling the joint you will share to you. “She calls, and I go running… every time. Even when she kissed Pope right in front of me.”

You frown, looking out at the dark waves crashing into the shore. “We deserve better.”

“We do,” he nods, finishing the joint. “But we don’t want better.”

You smile weakly and take the joint after his initial hit. “True story.”

JJ throws his arm around your shoulders, tucking you into his side. “What triggered it this time?”

“Kelce touched me.”

JJ sighs. “You don’t have to go to those parties, you know that.”

“I do,” you mumble, your fingertip tracing a pattern on his hand as it hangs over your shoulder. “And I hate it.” You tip your head to look at him. “But we all have our parts to play.”

He nods, agreeing with you, and you reach forward to grab the joint. He watches you, smiling at how quickly you seem to begin loosening up.

----

“Sweetheart?” Your mother calls from inside the house, and you sigh, snapping your book shut before dragging yourself out of the patio lounger. “It is for you.”

“Of course, it is,” you mumble as you pass her in the kitchen and step into the family room. You pause at the sight of Rafe standing in your living room. “Rafe?”

He grins, removing his hand from the frame of your portrait. “Changed your mind again?”

“Something like that,” You muse, crossing your arms over your waist. “Why are you here?”

He shrugs, hands going into his pockets as he gets closer. “Heard you were with Maybank last night.”

You shake your head, annoyed with him. “So what if I did?”

“Are you hooking up with him now?”

“No.” You respond and head back for your lounging spot. He follows despite his usual tendency to get angry and storm off.

“Then what were you doing with that Pogue?”

You curl up on the lounger, picking your book back up, and then looking at him. “Who do you think I get my weed from?”

He laughs, his pointer finger dragging over his mouth. “I don’t know. I never questioned it.”

You nod, looking down at your book. “You also never questioned why I smoke weed. Did you notice that it started shortly after you started paying attention to me?”

“Are you blaming me for your drug use?”

“Not blaming you,” you mutter, staring up at him. “But the two are linked.”

He shakes his head. “Whatever helps you sleep at night.”

You stay silent and hope that he will leave, but he does not. Instead, he takes a seat on the edge of the lounger.

“Why didn’t you come?”

“Because I deserve better.”

His smile is not his usual cocky smile, and he looks off at the sprawling backyard. “You started this, remember?”

“I did,” you admit, a slight chuckle leaving you. “And I still would probably.” You look away. “You are my first love, and I’m a stupid girl for thinking I would get to be different than all the others.”

He is quiet, too quiet, as he processes your words. “You love me?”

You scoff, peeling yourself from the lounger and moving away from him. You hug yourself, looking at the backyard now instead of him. Your heart breaking for the millionth time. “Yep. I do. Like I said I’m a stupid girl.”

“Y/n.”

“It’s fine, Rafe,” you whisper, reaching up to wipe a stray tear away. “You should go. I want to be alone.”

Nothing is said as he gets to his feet and exits back through the house. The silence weighing down on you after you have truly spoken your heart, and it is clear he does not feel the same way. You were his toy, a distraction from the pressures of the kook lifestyle and being Ward Cameron’s golden boy.

(Part 3 anyone?)

This is the longest thing I’ve submitted to WW so far. I present to you a daydream that wouldn’t leave me alone while I was in Greece last week. Boyfriend Danny has my heart!

——

You were napping in the afternoon sun on the sun loungers you’d rented for the day. Enjoying the warm breeze, head still a little fuzzy from the heat and the mojitos you and Danny had from the beach bar with lunch.

Slowly fluttering your eyes open you notice him missing from the bed next to you. You sit up and turn around just as he’s coming out of the sea James Bond style, looking like a literal Greek god. You watch him walk back to you as he casually throws his hair up in a high bun. God you love him.

“Hey baby, you enjoy your nap?” He leans down net to you placing a salty kiss on your lips, droplets of sea water falling off of him.

“You should have woken me up, we could’ve swam together” you pout a little

“I know beautiful but you looked so peaceful I didn’t want to disturb” another salty kiss.

As he pulls away you see a mischievous smirk appear on his face “you do seem like you need to cool off though”

He whips the hair tie out of his hair and shakes his soaked curls out over your sun baked skin and you gasp sharply “Daniel that’s so cold!” bolting upright on the sun bed you go to tickle his sides in retaliation and he easily dodges you, chuckling as a playful frown crosses your face.

“You are so dead”

“So come at me bro” he taunts.

He shoots off in the direction of the Mediterranean and you chase after him over the hot sand. You catch him once the sea slows him down and tackle him into the shallow waters, finally getting a chance to tickle his sides.

“Okay okay you got me now quit it!”

You relent and you both try to catch your breath between laughter.

“Oh babe I forgot, I got us something!” You run out of the water back to your beds, pull out 2 snorkels and speed back to the ocean full of playful excitement.

“(Y/n) these are perfect!” He grabs a snorkel, pulls you into a hug and presses even saltier kisses all over your face while you both go into fits of giggles.

You spend a while bobbing around wearing your snorkels, spotting fish and shining rocks on the sea bed in the crystal clear waters. After a while Danny taps you on the shoulder and you both come back above the water with red rings on your faces from where the snorkels had been.

You’re floating on your back now with your eyes shut, rolling gently over the waves. But what you don’t see is how Danny is looking at you. He admires your sun kissed beauty and can’t believe his luck that you met, that you agreed to go on a date with him, that you’re celebrating your 1 year anniversary in paradise.

You feel his eyes on you and crack one eye open, his gaze never falters as the biggest smile spreads across your face at your gorgeous boyfriend. You swim over to him and wrap your arms around his neck, bringing him to the sweetest kiss. He hums against your mouth as you deepen the kiss and brings your legs to wrap around his waist. Knowing you could easily get carried away, you both pull away, pupils blown, smiles wide. He runs his knuckles over your pink cheekbones and sighs “I love you so much baby”

“Not as much as I love you” taking that hand in yours and kissing his knuckles. Breaking out of his spell you take a glance back at the beach “Danny I think we scared everyone away” you whispered, noticing that it’s almost empty of people. “Naa they just don’t know how to have fun like we do. You wanna go find some cool rocks before we go?”

Satisfied with your haul of colourful rocks safely in the pocket of Danny’s trunks, you take up your spots on the sun beds and dry off in the last of the evening sun. The car journey back to your rented apartment is spent singing Cat Stevens and Fleetwood Mac at the top of your lungs with his hand in its favourite spot on your thigh.

#YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME #THIS IS SO FUCKING CUTE #THIS ISNT FAIR #PLEASE GOD GIVE ME THIS MAN #ALSO YOU JUST HAD TO SAY FLEETWOOD MAC AND CAT STEVENS?!#THIS WAS A CALCULATED ATTACK #wild wednesday #gvf #greta van fleet #josh kiszka #jake kiszka #danny wagner #sam kiszka #jake gvf #josh gvf #danny gvf #sam gvf

The Arena - Part 7

Universe: Alice in Borderland Pairing: Chishiya x reader Disclaimers and Warnings: This is going to have some descriptions of anxiety and panic attacks as well as the general 'alice in borderland' violence. Be warned.

Anything between these // // is a flashback/not real.

Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3 // Part 4 // Part 5 // Part 6 // Part 7 // Part 8 // Part 9 // End

• ··········· • ············ •

Ari was sitting on her bed, hair pulled up in a tank top and shorts, the knot of a bathing suit peeking from under her garments. She looked at you.

"Oh did I wake you?"

"What?" You looked around the sunlit room.

"You were sound asleep, I didn't want to wake you." She explained.

"What time is it?" You asked, dragging your body out of bed.

"Humm…10:30 or so. Kaori and Chishiya are already downstairs. Apparently Chishiya has been up since 7."

You reached the duffle bag with your weekend clothes and grabbed them, nodding at whatever Ari was saying. Your mind was still trying to remember bits and pieces of the dream as you softly closed the door to the bathroom.

Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, your eyes shifted to your neck. Unsurprisingly there was a faded, thin scar on the skin. It ran from the middle of your throat to your jaw. You had some of those scattered around your body, as well as some substantial ones.

Looking at your eyes in the mirror a flash of your own bloody face and neck took you by surprise. You took a step back and blinked, the vision disappearing.

"Hey, smart ass, how good are you at counting cards?" Kaori asked, walking towards the group.

The rest of the group was tucked under a sun umbrella. Ari and you were lying on beach towels watching something on her phone and drinking something sweet and fruity. In the meantime, Chishiya was lying in the shade, with only his legs in the sun, trying to nap, his drink forgotten.

“Which smart-ass are you trying to call?” You asked without looking up.

“All of you, but mostly Chishiya.” They sat in another sun lounge.

“Chishiya isn’t here at the moment.” The man announced, without moving. “Please try your call again at a later time.”

“Oh come on. Can you or can you not count cards?” They asked again.

All of you heard, more than saw the doctor inhale and exhale, moving to sit on the lounger, pulling the hood of his jacket down.

“Why?” He asked, his eyes blinking slowly and Kaori shoved something into his hand.

You saw his jaw clench and unclench as he looked at the piece of paper your friend had given him.

“I can, but I’m not.” He said and gave the paper back to Kaori.

“Why not?”

“It’s cheating.” He replied lying back down.

“Oh come on, we all know you’re not above cheating at game night.” Ari added after looking at the pamphlet, passing it over to you.

The small red and black sheet announced ‘Game Night at Seaside Paradise! - Come play and win some great prizes!’. There were four face cards printed under the title and your breath was caught in your throat. Without realizing it, your eyes shifted to Chishiya. He was doing his usual slow blinking, but his shoulders were tensing.

Once again the feeling of being stuck without an escape entered your mind, but looking around there was nothing strange happening. The pool was filled with coworkers and families spending the weekend. The doors inside were widely open and the pathway that led to the coast was open as well. And yet, you felt trapped and that awful burning smell came back.

“It’ll be fun! You could prove how superior you are to all those old ladies at the bingo table.” Ari laughed.

“We are giving you free rein on your high horse!” Kaori exclaimed. Suddenly a series of loud popping sounds were heard, and the music stopped. Both you and Chishiya got up from your places faster than the speed of light. Both of you looked around, both alert. You could feel your heart in your throat and your breathing was labored. You saw Chishiya’s breath deepen as well.

You looked at him and he looked at you. The resounding sound of a gun firing and people screaming echoed in your heads. He frowned for a second and then shook his head at you.

"Sorry guys!!" A loud cheerful voice over the loud was heard." Seems like the DJ was having too much fun!!"

Some laughs and cheers could be heard around the pool as the music resumed. But neither of you seemed to relax.

"Huh…guys?" Kaori questioned, their teasing tone turning serious. "It's cool. The guy in the DJ booth knocked over the mic."

Taking a deep breath, you turned your gaze from the man to your other friends. They were looking up at both of you, their faces laced with concern. "Sorry." You apologized as you moved to sit down again, paying attention as you noticed Chishiya's lounge chair had knocked over the drinks. "Oh! I'm gonna run and get us more of these."

Before any of them could say anything you grabbed the three spilled glasses and briskly walked towards the bar, trying to shake the fear that zipped through your spine. After the dream, something had changed in you. You didn’t remember much of it, but this feeling of fearlessness had started to fight the anxiety and apprehension that were gripping you tight. And although you had managed not to cower as the loud sound was heard, you were still a tad shaken.

You sat at the bar and waved at the man behind it, asking him to refill the glasses. He nodded and took them away. Across from you a pair of twins were whispering and looking around. You tried not to stare but you'd seen them before. You shrugged. There were a lot of people around, yet your eyes kept looking at them, until you blinked and they were not there.

“Great. I’m seeing ghosts now.” You mumbled placing a hand on your forehead.

"Then I hope you asked for the virgin drinks." You heard a raspy voice drawl behind you.

"Pshh…and miss the chance to see you drunk?” you swiveled your chair to look at the man.

Chishiya was standing there, hands in the pockets of his swim trunks, and white the hood up on this blueish jacket. No shirt underneath.

"Does all your clothing have pockets?" You asked and he nodded.

"Yes and all my jackets have hoodies" he grinned at you, sitting in the chair next to you and pushing the said hood down.

"There were no hoodies in the suits." You laughed as the expression on his face changed into a mocking one.

"They are sewn into the lining." He said with a serious face.

"Shut up." You slapped his shoulder and he mocked the injury. “You didn’t need to come to me. The buddy system only works if we’re out of sight.”

"As much as I enjoy being your unspoken buddy, that’s not why I’m here.” He confessed and you raised your eyebrows. “It’s all about the math: Four glasses, two hands and a DJ that likes sudden pops."

“Ah…” You acknowledged, grinning. “Of course. My knight in a shiny hoodie, I suppose.”

Chishiya gave you a look of surprise, but the corners of his lips slowly turned upwards. You looked away, mimicking his smile, silently blaming the alcohol in the drinks for the boldness. A comfortable silence fell between you as you waited for the barman to finish the drinks.

"We have to go to the Game thingy." You told him suddenly and he raised an eyebrow.

"We do?"

You nodded profusely, looking at your other friends over your shoulder. Their heads were leaning together, trying and failing to hide the fact they were staring at the two of you. You heard Chishiya humming as he looked back as well.

“We do.”

“Why?” he asked.

“Because those two lovely humans have been through it with us and they deserve a little fun. So, you’re gonna brush up on your card counting and we’re gonna win these people some prizes…” You replied, and saw one of his eyebrows raise. “Or we are babysitting them at the nightclub.”

Chishiya was still looking at you with a surprised look, his grin turning to a full smile and laughter. This is something he didn’t do often, but you were always glad to see his toothy smile.

“Card counting it is.”

Beneath the surface of male suicide lies a murky world of icy darkness, and the shards of hidden trauma.

Like an iceberg – we limit men’s issues to what we can see, that icy white cap, and never look for what lies below.

Beneath the calm, demure surface, often hides stories of the abused men, or bullied boys, tales of trauma, or neglect, and sexual violence; the life of the addicted, the lonely, or those fighting a losing battle for child custody…

Stories we ignore and wave away as not possible, or as insignificant, or arrogantly berate as ‘hijacking the conversation’.

And so the secret epidemic, unnoticed, drifts closer and closer still, until it crashes into the side of our boat, making real what we chose to ignore, to devastating consequences.

We care then.

When the sun loungers and beach towels of society are disturbed, and the water rushes in, we scrabble around in a panic…

We treat the issue too late.

The cause of a man’s suicide has taken its toll, and any chance to prevent or change course, to sail for safer waters, has long since gone.

Because suicide is not a distinct issue, but the end destination of various other issues when the volume is turned up to ten, and all hope has gone.

It is, a ‘rational and solution based decision’, as is coldly described by the latest research.

It is not something to be pathologised and medicated as ‘abnormal’’, seen primarily as a ‘mental health problem’, or part of a ‘toxic’ male mindset that needs to be talked away.

And such perspectives have clearly failed us.

Failed because research often finds that suicidal men don’t consider their problem as being a ‘mental health problem’, as they are left to grapple with what lays beneath the surface.

And I know…

It’s easier to acknowledge only what we can see, to throw the burden of responsibility back upon men, but as with icebergs; we need to peer deeper, and further into the distance, to understand, before it’s too late.

So how far can you see, and how deep dare you look?

Chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 5 - Final Chapter

Mexico was hot. Laura had found a gorgeous hotel right on the beach with views and tequila to die for. She’d diligently kept her Instagram followers up to date, which also included Beth and Brett. She’d posted a handful of pictures of their first couple of days - a selfie of the two of them with margaritas in hand, Callie on a sun lounger with her head in a book, the view from their room… On their last full day they'd spent the morning on the beach, Callie in the water and Laura in the sun. As Callie walked back up the beach to their spot, Laura snapped a photo, and wolf whistled.

"Wooo, look at you. Holy crap babe you look great - look at that?!" She held the photo up to Callie to approve. "Raquel Welch eat your fucking heart out." She posted it straight away with exactly that caption, alongside a few more she'd taken in the latter half of the week. Without her phone, Callie had no idea what Laura had actually posted throughout the week, but she trusted her regardless. Saying goodbye with one final cocktail, they made their way to the airport in a cab. Callie retrieved her phone from the depths of her bag and brought it to life. She'd loved her disconnected week, but she wanted to find out how the final days had gone on Ted and how Beth had been. While they got coffee, Callie let the airport WiFi bring her phone into the present day. There were only really her favourite 3 people to catch up with. A string of messages from Beth, usually off the back of seeing Laura's photos, a couple off Brett, and just the one from Jason. She replied in the order she'd seen them, Beth first, and then Brett. She opened the message from Jason, short and to the point,

'Fucking hell babe, are you trying to kill me?'

She frowned, and replied first before opening her social media.

'What's up? Just catching up. I have no idea what's going on?'

As Instagram opened up, the algorithm brought her most popular followed accounts to the top with the content she'd missed. Greeting her at the very top of the timeline was her own bikini picture. She scrolled through the others Laura had posted, liked them, and commented on them. She showed Laura Jason's message while they waited to board.

"You idiot, he's seen your hot bikini pic - isn't it obvious?" Callie hadn't considered that. She didn't think he had Instagram, but then again she also thought he didn't have Twitter so her track record was not great.

"Oh wow, you think?" Laura nodded emphatically.

"For sure. Message him again." Callie brought up their message chain and looked expectantly at Laura.

"And say what maestro?"

"You're the writer." Laura snorted. Callie thought for a while.

'Ah. All caught up now. My back burned that day, should have put more sunscreen on.'

'You're funny. You should probably bump Laura from the next trip if she's not going to help you with sunscreen.'

'I think I will. Let me know if you can think of a suitable replacement.'

She took a quick selfie of the two of them, still wearing sun hats and glasses, and sent it off with her reply.

'Boarding for home now, will call later or tomorrow. No idea when I'm supposed to land. Hope you haven't missed me too much.'

'Laura's Instagram has been a lifeline.'

She shook her head and switched her phone back off.

New York was significantly cooler than Mexico. After nearly 3 weeks away, Callie spent the morning doing laundry, catching up on missed emails and refilling her fridge. She joined the scheduled call with Brett and Jason, they'd all missed calls from each other over the previous two days and hadn't been able to properly catch up.

"Look at those freckles!" Brett laughed as soon as Callie’s video connected.

"It's the sun! I haven't seen it for so long." She grinned. "How was it finishing Ted?'

"Awful, I think I'm still dehydrated from all the tears. And not seeing him every day is worse than I expected." Brett pointed as Jason's video joined the call.

"You're not still crying are you? I'll see you tomorrow, you can have another hug." Jason offered, "Hey Callie, good trip?"

"Really good. I think I've missed my calling as a tequila aficionado."

"It's good to have you back. Not that we did much work while you were gone."

They spent a good couple of hours catching up before Brett had to leave for another meeting while Callie and Jason stayed in the call.

"How's LA?"

"Not bad, I prefer Brooklyn but the kids are here so that makes it better. You catching up with your New York guy now you're back?"

"Nope." Callie popped the 'p'. "I broke it off before I left for Mexico. He wasn't surprised, it's not like we were anything serious, he'd still been seeing other people so… there's that. I just didn't want to disappear completely without saying so."

"I'm sorry it didn't work out."

"Are you?" Callie asked outright.

"No.” He admitted truthfully, “I'm sorry you didn't find what you were looking for."

"Hmm. I don't think I knew what I was looking for." They fell into silence for a minute. "I need to head off actually."

"Another date lined up already?"

"Only with Laura. I'm giving her my abstract for the next book. Not the one I'm writing now, the next one after that."

"Wow, that's planning ahead."

"It's just an idea for now, we'll see how it goes."

"I can't wait to hear about it. I have to go too, I'm getting the kids from school."

"Speak to you soon?"

"Of course. Nice to have you back."

Callie fell quickly back into her usual work rhythm, dividing her time between her part written book, the plans for the next one, and the work on the show. She and Jason had resumed their back and forth calls and messages, with time difference having a much lesser impact. With only a week or so before he and Brett were due back from LA, Callie was working flat out. She picked up her phone as it rang and propped it against her tea mug so she could continue typing.

"Hey, you busy?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Apple Dan wanted to confirm our next meeting. Is two weeks today OK for you?"

"I don't know if two minutes from now is good for me to be honest." Callie snapped. "Fuck, I'm sorry. I'm just stressing with this deadline on the first draft chapters for the book. I've got no fucking hot water in the apartment, the landlord has no idea when it'll be fixed so I'm having to go the the gym every day, which is taking time I don't fucking have right now and it’s absolutely disgusting, I swear people are fucking animals-"

"Hey, hey woah, stop. It's OK. Go to my place - my neighbour with the green door has a spare key. I'll call her now and let her know you're coming. Stay there as long as you need to. Just pick a room, my housekeeper was there earlier in the week to check it over so make yourself at home." Callie fumbled to pick up the phone.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am. I'm not back for another…four days? Five days, I think. If your place isn't sorted by then, you can just stay at mine for longer and I'll stay out of your way while you're on Laura's time."

"Oh god, thank you so much. You're a fucking hero."

"It's really nothing."

"No, it's everything, it's perfect. I owe you big time."

"Get some stuff packed, I'll call my neighbour now."

"Thanks babe, love ya." Callie hung up the phone and immediately dropped it. Fuck. She grabbed it back up and called Laura without a second thought.

"Hiii! You ok?"

"Noooo. I just told Jason I loved him."

"Sorry, what?"

"He told me to go to his apartment and stay there cos I was so stressed over the hot water thing and then I went to hang up and it just fell out of my mouth like I was saying bye to you, or Beth. It was just completely…"

"Natural. Because you do love him, he's literally your best friend who did something really nice for you, and of course it was your automatic and natural response. Don't overthink it, he probably didn't even notice." Callie wasn't so sure about that, but she hummed and conceded with Laura before putting some things in a bag. She took an Uber with her stuff the few blocks to Jason's and knocked at the house next door. She vaguely explored the house without being too intrusive, trying to find the guest bedroom. She closed the doors on the kids' rooms so she didn't disturb anything in them, and found the guest room right across the hall from Jason's. She hovered in the hallway between the two doors for a second, eyeing up the bigger bed, but common sense won out and she dropped her bag in the spare room. It was like pressing a big magic button.

Removing the underlying stress of her apartment issues suddenly unlocked Callie’s productivity. She sat at the kitchen island that she had last shared with Brett and Jason and she drafted outlines for the next book, edited and re-edited her first draft chapters of the new book, and worked hard on tying up the loose plot points that she’d been working on for the show. For three full days she sat from 8am til 6pm and worked, she took an hour each in the morning and afternoon to go for a walk around Jason’s neighbourhood, took some bakery cupcakes to his neighbour to thank them for arranging to let her in, and filled his fridge. Each evening, she sat with a glass of wine and picked a movie from his outrageous collection. By the fourth day, she started pulling on a story thread for the show which had come from nowhere. She missed her morning break, ate lunch while standing in front of her laptop and made voice notes when she went for a walk in the afternoon. She didn’t stop to watch a movie, instead she put You Got Mail on in the background. By 11pm she was asleep on the sofa with her laptop still resting on her stomach.

Jason saw the lights on from the street, he wasn’t sure whether she’d still be there, the last he’d heard she was trying to find out whether the water was back on at her apartment. Since then, he’d been on an earlier flight back to New York so hadn’t seen an update. The house was quiet when he entered so he stayed silent. He peered around the sitting room door to see Callie laid out on the sofa wearing his hoodie and a pair of pajama shorts. The end credits of You Got Mail were rolling and her laptop looked as though it was about to slide off her stomach to the floor. He reached her just in time to catch it and put it down safely. She stretched out, causing the hoodie to rise up but she didn’t stir at all. He ran his fingers through her hair gently.

“Callie? Callie baby, time to wake up.” she batted his hand away and frowned in her sleep. He took her hand and kissed her palm. “Cal?”

“Jason?” She mumbled in her sleep, rolling to her side to face him.

“It’s me, time to wake up and get into a real bed?” Her eyes fluttered open and she looked blankly at him. She took a couple of blinks to wake up and reached out a hand to brush across his stubble, the Ted mustache had been taken over. She looked completely confused.

“Are you really here?” she whispered.

“I am. You ok?” she snatched her hand back and sat up quickly, shaking off the sleep.

“How come you’re here? I thought you were back tomorrow. Have I missed a day?”

“I got an early flight. Why are you working so late?” He helped her up off the sofa and she stretched out the aching muscles.

“I got carried away with a storyline.” She handed him a beer from the fridge, “I can go back to my apartment tomorrow.”

“That’s good. So I umm… I came back because I was worried about you. I finished my last meeting today and didn’t want to wait for the flight tomorrow.”

“It’s been a much better few days. I submitted my chapters so I’m clear of deadlines now for a few weeks. Plus the water is fixed.” There was an odd silence and a strange nervousness radiating from Jason which was also beginning to engulf Callie. “So, I’m gonna go to bed. Then I can get out of your hair tomorrow so you can settle back in.” She finished her beer and put the bottle in the recycling box.

“I’ve missed you.” He said quietly as she reached the doorway. “Not hearing from you while you were away was so weird and then Laura was posting those photographs and you looked…” his eyes moved from her to the ceiling, “god Callie, you look so perfect. Then. Now. Every single day. I quit. This push and pull? This game? I’m cracking first, I quit.” Callie’s eyes grew wider. She cleared her throat a little.

“I’m so much braver when there’s an ocean or a fucking phone between us. I can almost forget that… you take every breath from my body. When you’re there, in front of me, it’s like I can't speak or think. You trip me up every time. I fumble the bag.” She hesitated. “Believe me, you won a long time ago. Brett, Laura, Beth, they’ve been calling me out on my bullshit for months. I just keep getting in my own way.” She fell away to a whisper. She looked at the floor unsure of herself. The silence was deafening. She closed her eyes to blink back tears and as they refocused on the floor, Jason’s sneakers came into view. She looked up, shocked to see the boundless love in his eyes. Callie finally, finally, met him in a searing kiss.

She buried her face deeper into the pillow, hiding from the sunlight. She could feel Jason pressed against her back, breathing softly into her hair and unbothered by the opened blinds. Even in sleep, his hands were everywhere. Callie sighed contentedly. Somewhere across the room, a phone rang. She was all set to ignore it and go back to sleep, but Jason groaned with a low rumble and she suddenly felt anything but sleepy. He left her side briefly to get the phone and answered with a deep, sleepy voice.

“Yeah?”

“Oh… It’s Laura. Is Callie there?” Jason moved the phone from his ear to look at it. Definitely not his.

“Your phone babe, not mine.” He went to hand it over but she pushed it back towards him, rolling over to face him.

“Tell her I’ll call her later, I’m sleeping.” He smirked.

“Uhh, she’s busy, Laur. She’ll call you later.” He hung up and pulled Callie close,

“I said sleeping, not busy.” She pointed out.

“Sleep is for the weak. I’ve waited too long for you to let you sleep.”

The Reason you should Always Choose Resorts with a Swimming Pool

Swimming pools are always one of your guests' favorite amenities, regardless of where your Resort is located. The Best Resort in Khopoli provides the best Swimming pools that will always be a refuge for visitors and the place where they will begin or end their days, even if you are within walking distance of some of the best beaches in the world. And why not, it is where they will decide to spend a whole day relaxing.

Benefits of Swimming Pool

1. Flexibility

Swimming makes your body more flexible. Helps loosen ligaments and tendons. This reduces pressure and makes it more resistant to sudden shocks and stresses. To continue with the routine, choose an accommodation with a swimming pool.

2. The Pool is Cleaned Regularly

The sea is not going to be cleaned, is it? Even if you take a dip there, be sure to share the waters with plenty of others. A swim in the pool is going to be much more hygienic, don't you think? Therefore, always choose a hotel with a swimming pool in Khopoli.

Here are Reasons to Choose a UK’s Resort

#1 Privacy

While looking for accommodation, one of the most difficult points to ensure is your privacy. Resorts often let you down with limited access to all of their amenities. If you book a resort, no more disappointment because of the crowded lawn or restaurant. You will have your private garden along with dining rooms to enjoy every moment during your stay.

#2 Hygiene

It is essential to maintain hygiene during the holidays. From furniture to toiletries, everything in the resort is more likely to be more hygienic than in hotels. If you book a resort in Phuket instead of a hotel room, the professionals will take care of everything, including your hygiene.

#3 Private Pool

It is perhaps the best amenity found in UK’s resorts. The effort of getting up early and putting a towel on the perfect lounger around the pool before another guest takes it can't ruin your vacation. There can be no alternative to stepping out into your own private pool and enjoying yourself for hours.

#4 Convenience

If you compare the comfort of staying in resorts with that of hotels, the difference will always make you choose a One Day Picnic Resort in Khopoli. In most hotels, breakfast ends at 10:30. At your own resort, you choose the breakfast time. The same applies to any other service, be it a late-night arrival or a personalized kitchen.

#5 Spacious

There can be no comparison between the number of spaces that hotels and resorts provide. Even if you book an executive suite, the space is smaller than a private resort. In resorts, there are usually several bedrooms, separate kitchens, and bathrooms that allow you to relax comfortably.

#6. Increase Property Value

You never know when it will be time to move from your home to a new property, but confidence in increasing value is always a plus. A swimming pool adds a touch of luxury to your property to help it stand out from the crowd when in the real estate market by increasing its overall value. You may not want to sell now, but when you do, a pool could make a big difference to the bottom line.

#7. Relax

Spending time in the water helps your body relax, relieves stress, and improves sleep. After a long day at work, or when you feel like you need a little break from the stresses of life, a pool makes a world of difference. It's not just for kids, a swimming pool can be a very effective tool in promoting a stress-free lifestyle.
