It’s 7:00 pm and here I am... in bed. I’m on my phone again watching YouTube, waiting... you see, today sucked. I’m still trying to deal with having 2 pasts, and 1 future. One of those pasts was action packed! I could go anywhere, do anything (and I mean anything), and the other (the one I’m living right now) is... lame. I work 5 days a week 10 hours a day, I play video games, and watch tv. On the bright side I haven’t have those suicidal thoughts today, not with the excitement of soon traveling the universe again! However... I am nervous about tonight, Taylor, the giant orange snake, is supposed to come by to “check” on me. I really hope that doesn’t mean eating me again, that was terrifying. Then again I could definitely use the company.



I get up and use the bathroom, again shirtless, I look down at my belly and notice I’m not as thin as I was yesterday, mainly because I ate food today. I know right, me eating? crazy. But I do feel better today, then I have been.



After washing my hands I walk back down the hall to my bedroom. It’s always so cold in this house because of my older sister, who likes it cold. I get to my bed and cover up, I look at the clock, it says 7:28. I’m not sure when Taylor will be here, but the thought Is making me anxious. I get back on my phone and watch some more YouTube.



I wake up to the same sound as last night. I remember that it could still be one of my siblings so I pretend to be asleep, but facing the door this time. The clock reads 8:01 just like last night. The door opens and sure enough its her. My heart stops again, I forgot how truly huge she is! She slithers to my bed once again, I somehow managed to sit up and pull the string on my lamp.



“Oh” I say accidentally, fear is still here.



“Hello jack” she says in her sweet voice.



She climbs my bed, and coils around so as not to take up to much space.



“H-hi” I told myself I wasn’t going to be pathetic, but she is extremely intimidating, and beautiful. Oh, those eyes.



“How was your day?” She asks casually



“F-fine”. No. No. No. Engage in conversation, Jack. I tell myself.



“I uh, had a wonderful... eventful... day. You?” I actually managed to say.



“Nothing to complain about, can I ask you something?” She says



“O-ah yeah... any... thing” I stutter.



“Why do you talk to yourself” she asks. Her voice is so smooth, you can almost get lost in it.



“Oh... well, because, to be honest, I don’t have very many friends, and it makes me feel better” I admit.



“Oh I’m sorry if I over stepped—“



“No, no your fine”.



“Ok good. Last question. Can I swallow you?” She asks.



Her question totally throws me off, I just stare into her enormous red eyes.



“Oh, umm, well uh...”



“I’m so sorry, but asking you is just courtesy. You don’t have a choice” she says with pity in her voice.



“Oh, so... ok” just don’t cry.



“One last thing, before I do, you are in no danger.”



“Ok, ok, just go ahead” I say, then She smiles.



I’m not sure why, but I instinctively back onto the corner of my bed.



“This won’t hurt a bit, I’ll be gentle” she says softly as she moves her coils over to me.



I’m not panicking but my heart rate is going up, and I am scared. She starts wrapping me up in her body, from my feet to my neck, I begin to shake, out of fear and the cold. She moves me toward her lips



“Shh don’t worry, I’ve got you” she whispers to me when I’m inches away from her jaws.



I can’t help it, I start crying, not like bawling, but like happy tears in a way. For the longest time I’ve just wanted to be held, and loved by someone, and now I finally have that.



“Hey, hey, it’s ok... I’m here jack” she says then presses me up against her lips and kisses me.



“I’d never, ever hurt you” She assures me.



“I know” I say quietly.



She then opens her mouth again, and this time it’s not as frightening. Not to say it’s inviting, I just know that it’s the mouth of someone who loves me. She pushes me into her warm, wet, fleshy mouth and this time, just like last time, she slowly pushes me further in as gentle as can be. Her warmth is like heaven.



“I’m sorry for acting like this, it’s just weird to be loved” I say as I’m almost knee deep.



“Hey, as long as I’m around” she says in her sweet voice.



She tilts back and finally, after what seemed like a year, swallows.



I slide down to the same spot as last time, I only notice now, how comfortable it is. It’s like a mix between a hot tub and a water bed.



I rollover on to my side and put my hands under my head for support, and close my eyes.



“Not to be weird or anything but you taste really good” she says cheerfully.



“That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about me” I say jokingly, but kinda truthfully.



Oh, it feels so good to give myself to someone else, I can’t put a word to it, but I’m not scared anymore.



“How you doing Jack?” She asks me in her beautiful voice.



“I’m with you, I couldn’t be better” I answer truthfully.



She gets comfy on my bed and takes a deep breath.



“Jack, I’ve been watching you for close to a year now without you knowing” she confesses.



“Why did David care about me? I mean I know why he cares about the other guy, but I’m really nothing” I ask sadly.



“Do you want the honest answer?” She asks.



“Yes”



“He didn’t, well at least at first. You see, back when the part of you we, don’t mention, was at full strength, David started looking for someone like you. Someone who could keep the memories, but not fall for the power. When he found you, he was excited, ‘finally, I found him’ he said, but there was a problem, You didn’t want to live.”



A quick moment of guilt, that she clearly sensed.



“But it’s ok, Jack, I know how you feel. Anyway, David entrusted me to make sure you’d live long enough for the process to complete.” She finishes.



“I’m... so sorry, you must’ve been bored out of your mind, and... oh you know what kind of person I am. And you know what I” suddenly coming to the conclusion.



“Before you ask I have no idea what you look at online” she says reassuringly. “I didn’t stalk you I just, watched over you”



“I appreciate that” as a big wave of relief rolls over me.



“Then of course I fell in love...” she said suddenly and slowly.



She did it. I’m officially bawling.



“Hey, hey, sh... it’s ok. I’ve got you.”



“N-never let g-go” is all I can manage.



“Never” she replies.



“Promise?”



“Promise”.



“Hey Taylor?” I ask after I little while.



“Yes?” She says softly.



“I think I... umm... ok here goes, I think I love you” I confess.



She doesn’t answer immediately, but I can feel her shift around. I think she’s looking directly at the bulge in her stomach (me) when she finally says, “Jack, you know I’d never hurt you right?”



“I do”.



“Jack, I love you too”.



And this time we both cried. About an hour or more later she let me out, then she wrapped me up in her coils, and laid her head on mine. It was the best sleep I’ve ever had. Before she left in the early morning, she promised that I’d see her the fallowing night.
