When I found you... Chapter 31(Jaevon Fanfic)

Standing at the edge of the Earth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3uvMRHzY7A

I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
I know you're coming back so why am I dying inside

Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, months turned to years…

It’s been exactly two years, five months, two weeks and six days since I last saw her. My love, James thought, standing at the edge of the cliff, looking out to the sea, reminiscing the blissful days that they’ve been together.

Since she left, James has been trying to pick up the pieces of his life, cherishing every memory he had with her.

Are you searching for words that you can't find
Trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie
Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye

He’s been staying in Boracay for the past two years. He decided to live in the Philippines and would just fly back and forth to Australia if something important arises.Work is not anymore one of his priorities. He tried to ask his friends if Devon had contacted them. But they all said that Devon cut all connections to them.

He’s been living a subdued life, while waiting for her…

So I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that someday you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping for someday

He knows she will come back…

He will wait for her no matter how long it takes.

He’ll be holding on to that someday…

I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday

He took a last glance at the roaring waves and went to sit near a fallen log. He took his guitar and played the song that echoes the yearning of his heart.

In time, he came to understand the decision Devon made. He tried to do the same thing and pieced things back together.

But he still believed in his love for Devon and it was in that love he gets the strength to continue living his life.

I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back to me
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday
Waiting for someday, Believing in someday
Praying for someday, I'll be....
Longing for someday Clinging to someday
Cherishing someday, I'll be....
Thinking of someday Dreaming of someday
Wishing for someday, I'll be....
Living for someday Counting on someday
Knowing that one day....
I will see you

He stopped playing when he heard someone approaching.

“There you are, girl. Where have you been, baby?” James said, ruffling her hair.

James stood up and took her in his arms, raining kisses on her.

“How’s my baby? Are you hungry, Pu?” James asked his snowball-like Siberian husky.

The dog barked gleefully at her master and started licking his hands, looking for some treats.

And when she found nothing in his hands, she wiggled her way out of his arms and walked away.

James laughed at his very peculiarly cute dog. He went after her and scooped her up in his arms.

“Come here, you little devil. Let’s grab a bite.”

James was drinking coffee while his dog was eating its favorite meal, when Marisa arrived with her husband.

“You’re here. Do you have the information about who took those pictures and sent those letters?” James asked, welcoming the couple inside.

For the past two years, he’s been receiving letters containing death threats and malicious lies. He got fed up that he started searching for the culprit. He asked his secretary to track down that someone who is ruining his peace. After two weeks of investigation, they finally found the culprit.

“Yes, I already have it.” Marisa said, handing the files to James. “It’s a woman. Her name and address are there along with her biography.”

“Thank you, Marisa. Would you like to stay for a drink?”

Marisa who was eyeing the little monster anxiously immediately declined the offer.

“No, thank you. Your dog is ready to pounce on me and if I stay any longer she might do just that.” Marisa said, laughing nervously as she watched the dog playing with Spencer.

James followed the direction of her gaze and laughed.

“Yeah, sorry about that. She kinda hates women. She gets along with men though. The little flirt.” James said chuckling.

Marisa called her husband, telling him that they need to go. It was a mistake. Pu bared her fangs and started growling menacingly at her. Both men laughed and tried to calm the dog.

“I-I’ll j-just wait for y-you outside, darling.” Marisa said to Spencer and quickly left the room.

And in her hurry, she just shouted a hasty goodbye to James.

Left alone in his study, James opened the envelope. What he saw confirmed his suspicions. Seeing the face of the woman he thought he once loved, his rage erupted. Mikaela.

He then called his security team leader, Bruce, and made him handle the case. He ordered him to put her to jail no matter what. He faxed the evidence against her to Bruce and brushed any thought of the vile woman out of his mind. He doesn’t want to give any thought of her because now, she’s nothing to him.

He didn’t hold any grudge for her, but what she did not only hurt him but also hurt the woman he loves.

The yellow rays of the sun give off an afternoon golden glow to the horizon. As the sea kisses the sand, the wind whispers a hope of happiness to the man walking along the shore.

“Don’t you dare wander off too far, you little tramp.” James warned his cute, cuddly dog. “Pu, come back here. It’s gonna be dark soon. I’m warning you. Come back here now.”

But his dog just mischievously looked at him and ran ahead.

James just shook his head at his astute dog and ran after her. The dog bounded up the rocky path towards the villa. James caught a glimpse of her waddling tail before it disappeared out of site. He slowed down to a jog and heard the frantic barking of his dog. When he reached the front steps, he didn’t see his dog, so he went around the backyard.

He saw a familiar figure crouching down to his dog. He went closer and suddenly stopped on his tracks. What he saw surprised him. His dog is in good terms with a woman! It was snuggling closer to the woman, playfully licking her hands. But as she got a closer look at the woman, his heart began beating erratically. The voice, the laugh, even the perfect way her hair falls down her back all seemed achingly familiar.

He waited for this moment. His someday finally came. But along with it is the fear of having his hopes dashed.

What if he’s dreaming? What if it’s just a hallucination made out of his desperation of wanting to see her again?

How long he stood there, he doesn’t know. Seconds passed like hours as he stood rooted there…

The dog noticed her master standing just a few feet away and barked at him while resting its cutesy paws on the lady’s leg.

The woman stiffened as she sensed the presence of someone standing close by and quickly turned around, sending her hair tumbling over her left shoulder.

Everything seemed to blur except for the woman in front of him. All his senses came alive. He traced every curve of her perfect features. It seems the years they’ve been away felt like it has just been yesterday. All the wait and pain disappeared now that she’s here. Devon’s here.

After a long journey of trying to find herself and putting the puzzle pieces of her life together, she had explored every nook and crannies there is. She had achieved her dreams, accomplished her plans, grabbed every opportunity but there’s always something missing. It’s as if she never gained complete happiness. But now as she looked at him, the puzzle is complete. The missing puzzle piece she’s been trying to find has been here all along. It all made sense again.

The dog suddenly barked and run to her master, getting them out of their reverie. James crouched down to his attention-seeker of a dog and affectionately scratched its head. Trying to buy time, James focused his attention to his dog, while he tried to decide if Devon was happy to see him, assessing her mood.

He finally stood up and looked at her.

“Hi.” Devon greeted, smiling nervously at him.

The smile took his breath away.

“Hi.” James replied.

“Y-you look perfectly well.” She said, looking at his features and thinking how unbearably handsome he was. She was unsure of the situation whether things have change in James’ perspective that she was hesitant on how to approach him.

“I’ve been doing fine,” James said. “Surprisingly well, actually, for someone who hasn’t seen the sun in two years, five months, three weeks, and two days, or been able to sleep without dreaming of the woman that I’ve been waiting for. As usual, work has occupied most of my time but I rarely get anything done. Considering those things, you may say I’m perfectly fine for a man who has been missing half of his soul.” James continued, looking at her tenderly, love shining in his eyes.

Devon was moved by what he said that tears started to fall unheeded down her smooth cheek. With a raw ache in his voice, he opened his arms wide, inviting her. “If you just take the remaining steps, my love, you can cry in my arms and I’ll erase all the pain that I’ve caused you.” James continued.

Devon ran towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck, crying earnestly, sobs racking her fragile frame. James caught her and held her tightly in his arms, molding her body in his hard contours. “And when I’m done, you can start filling up the emptiness in my heart, in my soul, in my life.” James finished, tears now flowing in his eyes.

Devon cupped his face and with love shining in her eyes, solemnly whispered, “I love you.”

James wiped a tear from her cheek and kissed her forehead, and with an aching whisper James replied, “I love you more. I never stopped loving you.”

He slowly bent down his head and captured Devon’s mouth in a passionate kiss. James hungrily devoured her lips. With all the longing and passion he kept inside, he can’t seem to get enough of her. Just the barest touch of her lips to his, takes all the anguish he had felt in all those years. James kissed her with unleashed passion. Devon clung to him, molding her body to his.

The kiss exploded.

A kiss that sealed a thousand promises.

A cool breeze drifted through the open windows, the curtains swaying while creating a swishing sound. It was getting dark. Only the light of the setting sun illuminated the couple locked intimately in each other’s arms.

James guided Devon towards the bed. He slowly undressed her and gently laid her on the bed, following her down and covering her with his body.

Adoringly, he touched her face, tracing its elegant curve. For a moment, he just stared at her angelic profile.

She’s exquisitely beautiful, James thought. I’ve dreamt of this moment, having her in my arms… a thousand times. Devon looked up into his smoldering eyes and was lost in the wondrous spell of his love.

Slowly, James bent his head and his lips claimed her mouth in a kiss that was both warm and gentle. Her soft lips parted and desire exploded within them.

Devon slid her arms up his bare chest and pressed her body closer to his. His hands moved down her body in a tormenting gentleness that sent flames of desire burning uncontrollably through her.

Every caress of his hands, every touch of his lips sent heated passion spiraling in her. Love glowed in her eyes, surrendering everything to him.

“I love you,” Devon cried as their shared love soared higher and higher into a universe where nothing existed except the blissful union of two lost souls finding each other at last.

“I love you, and I’ll never let you go,” James said, threading his fingers through hers, holding tightly. James bent his head and kissed her lips, their hands clasped together.

A gesture of love and passion that echoes through eternity.

Dawn came and the beauty in his arms stirred, snuggling closer to him. James pushed a lock of hair away from her cheek and brushed a gentle kiss on her forehead. He looked at her and remembered the night of love making they’ve shared.

He smiled affectionately at her sleeping profile and a profound happiness overcame his senses.

Devon… my woman, my love… and my all.
